Prodded by Franklin Roosevelt, the Senate approved the request for authority to sell the surplus wheat. Not so the House, mindful of elections and the Corn Belt vote...
...Bumbling Earl Godwin's sudden emergence as one of radio's high-priced newsmen is a triumph for corn. His reports from Washington for NBC have always sounded as if they were delivered from a cracker barrel near the stove in the general store. He used to end a local broadcast with a "God bless you one and all." Once, he omitted the tag line and received ten indignant letters from as many old ladies.

When the Administration froze parity (by freezing other prices), and spread the word that it would not boost loans still higher, speculators ducked out of those commodities in which the Government is holding huge surpluses off the market...
