Mrs. Roosevelt
Stirs Up Hornet’s
Nest Over Farley
NEW YORK, </P)— Mrs. Elea
nor Roosevelt, commenting on re
cent magazine articles by James
A. Farley in which he expressed
his doubts of his social standing
at the White House, says that “it
never occurred to me that Mr. and
Mrs. Farley felt themselves in any
group different from that which
we were in.”
A series entitled “Why I broke
with Roosevelt,” a condensation
of a book which the former post
master general will publish in Feb
ruary, recently appeared in Col
lier’s magazine.
Mrs. Roosevelt, writing in her
question and answer column in
the Ladies Home Journal, says
that “T am deeply grieved to find
that Mr. Farley was not the per
son I thought him; or perhaps it
would be better to s^iy that I am
grieved to find that Mr. Farley
has allowed himself to be made
the kind of personality that Mr.
Trohan, of the Chicago Tribune
would inevitably make him.”
(While the widow of the four
term president did not further
identify Trohan, she apparently
referred to Walter Trohan of the
Washington staff of the Chicago
Tribune.)
Trohan, in Washington, said that
“Mrs. Roosevelt should have wait
ed, I think, until she could read
the whole book. ... I am not mak
ing anybody any kind of person.
At Farley’s order I am trying to
gather his material together. . . .
He has okayed every word of the
book which comes from the worc*s
he dictated at the moment. If she
objects, as I assume she does, to
the delineation of her husband,
that comes from his (Mr. Roose
velt’s) own words which were
taken by Farley at his conference
with the President.”)
Navy Tug Boat |
Races To Aid Of
Schooner Wawona
■
SEATTLE, 1/P) — A powerful
navy tug boat from Dutch Harbor;
was speeding yesterday to aid the I
486 ton Seattle codfish schooner
Wawona, buffeted by gales and
low on supplies after 11 days of
unsuccessfully trying to sail from
the Bering Sea through Unimak
Pass.
The 13th naval district here said
the 156-foot, three-masted schoon
er asked for help Monday. The[
Alaska Sea Frontier commander j
in Kodiak ordered the tug Ata 1916
to proceed to the scene.
The Wawona, owned by the
Robinson fisheries of Anacortes,
has no auxiliary engines but pre-,
viously had completed several j
trips into sub-Arctic waters.
The weather bureau said heavy |
! storms have swept alternately j
from north to south for more than
j a week in the area of the Pass, at
i the tip of the Alaska peninsula.
They said, however, that storm
conditions are expected to let up
| slowly, minimizing any risk to the
stalled schooner.
j SEATTLE bP)—The coast guard
' reported today that a navy tug
l has towed the storm-buffeted
Seattle codfish schooner Wawona
j through Unimak Pass from Bering
| Sea after the three-masted sailing
vessel tried vainly for 11 days to
make the passage itself against
opposing high winds.
The tug has returned to Dutch
Harbor.
The tug’s arrival at the scene
was delayed, after it was under
way, by an emergency call from
the U. S. Coast Guard station at
Scotch Cap, where "an enlisted
man was shot in the leg. A small
boat from the tug went through
the dangerous surf to pick him up,
and the tug returned him to Dutch
Harbor for treatment.

Corn Belt Needs
Much More Rain
• By The Associated Press*
Farmers in the nation’s main
corn belt hoped for njiore lain
within the next week as precipita
tion brought some measure of re
lief in most sections as cool air(
moved into the midwest and broke
summer’s longest heat wave.
Although the rains which swept
across the corn belt checked at
last temporarily a 15-million bush
el a day loss which corn has suf-'
fered during the protracted hot
spell, weather bureau officials said
soaking rains were needed to re
tain Monday’s benefits. No gener
al rainfall for the region was pre
dicted immediately.
As rain fell from Indiana to;
Nebraska, corn futures prices on!
the Chicago board of trade plung
ed eight cents, the maximum per
mitted in one day’s trading, while!
cash prices dropped several cents.,
Heaviest precipitation in the
corn belt was in Iowa and eastern
Nebraska, while there were scat
tered showers in Indiana, Minne
sota. South Dakota and Illinois.
Rain also fell in parts of the north
west and southwest grain fields.
Leslie M. Carl, director of the
Iowa federal crop reporting serv
ice, said the rains and cooler wea
ther would help check deteriora
tion of the corn crop. He added,
however, the favorable weather
was too late to improve yield out
looks any above the 39 bushels to
the acre average reported Aug. 15,
as compared with a yield of 60
bushels last year.
Near normal weather, with sea
sonable temperatures, prevailed
over most of the country today.
The cool air which broke the
midwest’s protracted heat wave
Monday, pushed into the North
Atlantic states yesterday, ending
three days of hot weather.
Thunderstorms preceded the
mass of cool air into the eastern
states. An electrical rain and hail
storm struck New York City and
a score of persons were injured.
Basements were flooded, tele
phone service interrupted and sub
way service disrupted. The fall
measured 3.44 inches and temper
atures dropped from a record 91
for the date to 67 in less than two
hours.
About 20 persons were injured
in a rush by passengers to flee two
street cars which were struck by
lightning. A dozen bolts struck
the Empire State building, but
there was no damage.
| Federal forecasters in Chicago.
said there was no indication of an
immediate return of excessive heat
to the midwest or eastern states.
They said, however, readings in
the 90’s were expected in the
south from the Carolinas into the |
Gulf states and into Texas.
