ever called it that,” said today in her soft drawl. In support of that claim, friends cited her many vears of effort to improve child health, to stamp out illiteracy, to aid boys and bama reform schools. Mrs. Graves, who is 55, has never been a stay-at-home. When her husband, then Col. Graves, was sent to the Mexican border just | the World War, she went with him, And she was with him during the World War until he was sent overseas: she had enroll>d for service | abroad as a Y. M.

Aids Her Husband With the aid of New Deal funds, she said today, great strides have been made in teaching illiterate adults to read and write. In her husband's campaigns Mrs. | Graves has been his chauffeur, and | sometimes his understudy on the stump when he has been detained ! elsewhere. She was a pioneer suffrage for women long before that idea was popular in the South. She was asked how she would vote on the Wage-Hour Bill, which was sponsored by her predecessor, now Justice Black, but which other Southerners have blockaded in the | House. “I have never read the bill,” she | said, "but I favor the principle. However, as a Senator I should | never vote for such an important | measure without reading it thoroughly and understanding it.”
