"Cotton" Ed Smith Snubbed by the President. Washington, D.C., Oct. 1. A wrathful and unpurged Senator "Cotton Ed" Smith, D. of S.C., last night roared a furious protest at refusal of President Roosevelt to receive a delegation of cotton and wheat Senators. A special committee headed by Smith had waited all afternoon for higher Cotton-Wheat loans. Word came it would be "impossible" for the President to see them. Acting Sec. of Agriculture Harry Brown and Asst. AAA Administrator Tapp instead were assigned to the conference. Senator Smith, on the right; is shown putting Mr. Brown, over the coals at the Capitol today, 10/1/38
