WASKINCTON
Washington, Aug. 14.—^Auto-
caster)—The first session of the
76th Congress adjourned with two
events attesting further spread of
anti-New Deal sentiment among
Senators and Representatives a-
like.
The President’s bill to authorize
the borrowing of 3 3-4 billions of
the securities of Government-con
trolled corporations and agencies,
for the purpose of lending the
funds for a wide variety of pur
poses in the effort to stimulate
business, was killed by the refusal
of a coalition of Republicans and
Conservative Democrats to permit
its consideration by the House,
even after the Senate had agreed
upon the measure in a modified
form, involving only about half as
much money as the President had
asked for.
Another important measure be
hind which all the forces of the
Administration lined up against
the opposition, met the same fate.
That was the bill to double the
borrowing and lending powers of
the U. S. Housing Administration,
engaged in so-called “slum-clear
ance” projects of building low-
rent homes for the poor.
A combination of motives en
tered into this final revolt against
the Administration. There was a
genuine Reeling on the part of
economy-minded members of both
houses that the time had come to
stop Government spending-for-
recovjery.
Wide-spread Revolt
There was an even more wide
spread revolt against the idea of
increasing the national debt by
borrowing in the name of cor
porations or agencies, whose debts
would not be included in the offi
cial Public Debt statements, on
in
of
the theory that the proceeds o
their lending would be used to fi
nance self-liquidating projects.
Besides economic objections t
the President’s program, further
opposition was inspired by objec
tions to the President’s policies
general.
There was also an element
personal revenge on the part
certain Democratic Senators and
Representatives who were the ob
ject of the Presidential enmity in
last year’s elections, and who sur
vived his so-called “purge” of the
party leadership.
All those things combined with
previous actions of the Congress
to make the ending of this session
a fairly complete defeat of the
New Deal.
The way is now cleared for con
sideration of the prospects for the
1940 Presidential election, and
that is what will engage the whole
attention of official Washington
and of the Senators and members
back in their home states from
now on. The battle for delegates
to the nominating conventions of
both major parties is already be
ginning.
Fears Roosevelt
It can be set down as a certain
ty that the man whom all Repub
licans fear most as the Demo
cratic candidate is President
Roosevelt himself. If he does de
cide to break the precedent first
formulated by the founder of his
own party, and run for a third
term, it is conceded that he wil
be the hardest man for the Oppo
sition to beat.
There are careful observers
professing to be able to read the
political signs, who hold that the
President is merely waiting until
the time is right to announce that
he will be a candidate to succeed
himself. Such tactics, it is pointed
out, would prevent too great con
centration of delegates behind any
other individual who might be dis
tasteful to the President, and so
increase his chance of having a
candidate of his choice named, in
the last-minute confusion just
before the convention.
The candidate who is now com-

Epworth League To

County Agent To
Attend Conference
At Clemson
County Agent D. Austin Shelley
states that he will attend the An
nual Extension Conference at
Clemson College from August
22nd to August 26th; however, his
office will not be closed during
this period.
ing to be regarded as the Presi
dent’s choice is Security Adminis
trator Paul V. McNutt. He is the
only Democrat with any consider
able vote-gathering ability who
might have Mr. Roosevelt’s bless
ing. In actual political strength
at the moment, however, Vice-
President Garner is away out in
the lead, on the Democratic side.
On the Republican side, the out
standing candidate of the moment
is Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio,
son of former President Taft. The
Ohio primaries come among the
earliest of any of the states, and
the Hamilton County (Cincinnati)
Republican Committee has already
begun its campaign to win the
primaries for its fellow-citizen,
Senator Taft. It couldn’t go a-
head without the Senator’s written
consent, and he gave it in a strong
statement attacking the Adminis
tration and the New Deal, adding
that the task which lies a-
head of the next President is so
great that no sensible man could
be eager to assume it.
Dewey Strong
None of the other potential Re
publican candidates has announced
so far. A strong organization is
being built up around Thomas E.
Dewey of New York, and Wash
ington hears that something in
the nature of a “brain trust” of
economists and political advisers
is at work preparing a series of
public speeches which Mr. Dewey
will make in the Fall, to put his
personal political philosophy on
record.
Very far from being in the back
ground is Senator Arthur Vanden-
Derg of Michigan, with probably
more practical politicians of his
own party working for him than
or any other Republican.
There is a perceptible under
swell of sentiment for Governor
Saltonstall of Massachusetts. Gov
ernor Bricker of Ohio must not be
overlooked. He is believed to be
receptive and is known to be a
good campaigner. For the first
time since 1928, Republicans be-
ieve, and Washington observers
agree with them, the party has at
east an even chance of winning
in 1940. Otherwise there would
not be so many candidates for the
driver’s seat.
Some observers here think they
see signs of a tide of public sen
timent running in Mr. Hoover’s
direction.
