Failure of Democratic Purge
Gives Republicans New Fear
Politics
If FrankUn Roosevelt ever
planned to “purge” his Democratic
party of undesirables, he now knows
the purge has failed. On the presi
dential black list may have been
Iowa’s GiUette, Nevada’s McCarran,
Colorado’s Adams, and Missouri’s
Clark. By last week these New Deal
haters were either renominated or
assured of winning their state pri
maries at the expense of administra
tion favorites.
News of purge failure has recent
ly sent the most dour conservative
into ecstasies. For once, it appears,
Franklin Roosevelt’s domination
over Jhe party is at ebb tide. But
last week a few foes began thinking
instead of effervescing:
Is purge failure helping untangle
badly twisted United States political
lines? Decidedly the contrary. Is
purge failure eliminating Franklin
Roosevelt as a third termer? Prob
ably not.
Originally the purge idea sought
to transform the Democrat party
into an instrument of coherent lib
eralism, implying formation of an
equally coherent conservative party
on the other side. But when con
gress convenes next winter tire Unit
ed States will see instead a hodge
podge of multi-colored political
thought from which little but bicker
ing can be expected.
Deeply tanned from his 20-day
fishing trip to tropical Pacific wa
ters, Franklin Roosevelt was back
in his 48 states last week, still mum
about third term rumors that have
kept newsmen busy since he left.
Of all rumors, most thought-provok
ing was that purge failure robs the
President of party control, robs him
also of the right to name a succes
sor in 1940. Not willing to be robbed,
enthusiastic New Dealer Roosevelt
would rather run himself than pass
the mantle to a less ardent New
Dealer.
Kentucky
Blue Grass politics was red hot
as Kentucky prepared to choose a
Democratic senator. At Jackson,
Former Sheriff Lee Combs and his
brother attended a rally for their
own faction, then walked brazenly
into a rally of opposition forces.
When the smoke cleared, Lee Combs
was shot dead. A few minutes later
his father organized kinfolk to
search for William Combs, who was
no relative but the alleged slayer.
KENTUCKY’S ALBEN BARKLEY
It urns surely a fine day.
Said Police Chief A. S. Sizmore:
“I’m a Republican so I’m not on
either side. They were all het up
from politicin’.”
Two days later Kentucky went to
the polls. At Versailles, Gov. A. B.
“Happy” Chandler muttered, “Down
the hatch” as (he chivalrously voted
for his opponent, Majority Leader
Alben W. Barkley. At Paducah, Al-
ben Barkley deposited his ballot,
glanced at the skies and predicted a
record vote.
By midnight it appeared that
Happy Chandler should have voted
for himself. “Dear Alben,” with
presidential blessing, was renomi
nated and political theorists tried to
figure out what it meant.
Foreign
Since 1931, when Japan marched
into Manchuria, Tokyo and Moscow
have been “on the brink of war.”
Last week the# appeared to be fight
ing two wars: In one, at the iso
lated Russian-Manchukuan-Korean
frontier nobody knew who was win
ning. In the other, being waged in
the Moscow office of Soviet Foreign
Maxim Litvinoff, it appeared that
Russia had the upper hand.
Amidst a barrage of incidents,
communiques and curt notes, Asia’s
two powers were attempting to set
tle ownership of a shell-pocked hill
near the village of Changkitfeng.
Russia-Jap hostilities in this sec
tor date back to 1931 when Japan
marched into Manchuria and looked
longingly at land patrolled by Rus
sia’s autonomous Siberian army.
But not until mid-July this year did
the five-year “secret war” break
into the open. Since then both pow
ers have attacked and counter at
tacked for days on end, moving
troops, artillery and planes to little
Changkufeng.
Already tired of one war (see be
low), Japan was anxious to avoid
.
another. Finally Ambassador Ma.-
moru Shigemitsu at Moscow re
ceived word to open peace negotia
tions. Last week it appeared proud,
stubborn Japan would have to eat
crow if she wanted peace with
prouder, more stubborn Russia.
Muttering that “the time has come
MAXIM LITVINOFF
“The time has come . ..”
to terminate these endless inci
dents,” Foreign Minister Litvinoff
matched Tokyo’s proposals with an
even better set:
(1) Immediate cessation of hos
tilities, with mutual withdrawal
behind a fixed line.
(2) That line to be determined by
the Russ-China treaty of June 26,
1886.
(3) Appointment of a bilateral
commission, two Russians, one
Manchukuan, one Jap, to negotiate
for redemarcation of the line on
basis of the 1886 treaty.
While Japan boasted after two
weeks that 1,500 Russ soldiers had
been killed and wounded against 180
on her own side, two tattered Soviet
deserters walked into her Siberian
camp to air their grievances against
Moscow.
They deserted because their fa
thers, well-to-do Kulak farmers, had
been heavily taxed, heavily op
pressed in the Soviet drive for col
lective agriculture. “Our slogan is
defend the fatherland of liberty,”
one said, “but how can we soldiers
defend such a system when the cows,
horses and even their bams are
taken away.”
To Japan it looked like Russia’s
poor Siberian administration was
her ally.
• Last week weary Japanese troops
were still more than 100 miles down
the flooded Yangtze river from their
goal, Nanking, long since deserted
by the Chinese government. While
defending troops claimed the invad
ers had been repelled in battle after
battle, crafty Japs were evidently
resorting to brains instead of brawn
to capture another part of China.
In the past Manchuria and Peking
governments were undermined by
palm-rubbing Tokyo agents and dis
gruntled Chinese officials. Result
in each case has been a puppet
state, completely divorced from Chi
na. Last week at peaceful Canton,
only a few miles from Britain’s
Hongkong, came reports of secret
negotiations to sway South China
from the central government.
Promising to prevent recurrence
of disastrous bombings which left
Canton a bloody shambles last
month, Jap agents would set up an
independent government closely al
lied to Tokyo.
Meanwhile Japan refused to stop
her bombing attacks on Canton. For
two successive days last week war
planes swooped down with their car
goes of death, finally striking within
400 yards of the foreign settlement
where thousands had taken refuge.
Next day Canton’s Catholic cathe
dral was struck while hundreds cow
ered in terror within.
Miscellany
Back to London last week from
darkest Africa came Missionary
John Harris with a strange tale. His
story: In Bechuanaland lives Ra-
monolwana Senan, believed to be
140 years old yet still in good health
and boasting all but one tooth. He
has a son more than 100 years old,
and a daughter 16.
• Twenty thousand bathers at New
York’s Rockaway beach sought re
lief from sticky weather last week.
In the distance were unimportant
rumblings of thunder. Suddenly the
air was splintered by a bolt of
lightning that zig-zagged 300 feet
down the beach, killing three, felling
hundreds. Next day investigators
wondered if a huge steel bridge,
passing almost iihmediately over
the beach, might have drawn the
freak bolt.
• When she was first launched, Eng
land’s proud Queen Mary was also
queen of the Atlantic. Then came
the French Normandie to set a west
ward passage record of 3 days, 22
hours, 52 minutes. Last week her
powerful engines churned the Queen
Mary to a new record, clipping 1
hour, 14 minutes off the Norman
die’s mark.
• Fondled like the museum piece
it is, Douglas (Wrong Way) Corri
gan’s $900 transatlantic airplane was
unloaded in Manhattan last week.
People
At Callander, Ont., Olivia Dionne’s
famous five children failed to ap
pear before their daily tourist audi
ence. Dr. Roy Dafoe, who has guid
ed the four-year-old quintuplets
since birth, reported they suffered
from upset stomachs. Next day
Pappa Dionne worried publicly oyer
Emilie, who had taken no nourish
ment for 24 hours.
• Two days after former cinema
actress Pearl White died in Paris,
Warner Oland of “Charlie Chan”
fame succumbed in his native Swe
den of bronchial pneumonia.
• At Hammond, La., Governor
Richard W. Leche poured coffee,
served sandwiches to pickets sur
rounding a box factory.
Religion
On the next day . . . when they heard
that Jesus was coming . . . took branches
of palm trees, and went forth to meet Him,
and cried. Hosanna: Blessed is the king
of Israel that cometh in the name of the
Lord.
Thus wrote St. John in Biblical
days. Since then his words have
been unchanged, but last week
American clergymen began study
ing the Bible as rewritten under
Adolph Hitler’s direction to conform
with Germany’s Nazi ideology. Said
the Nazified St. John:
“Then they took green branches,
went to meet him and cried: HEIL
to him that comes in the name of
God. HEIL to thee, thou shalt be
our king.”
Eliminated are all references to
sin, heaven and the Hebrew proph
ets, for the Nazi heaven is now to
be found in Germany alone.
Domestic
That Pennsylvania’s Sen. James
J. Davis has beeri more successful
with U. S. Moose than his Tennessee
Valley authority investigating com
mittee, was admitted last week.
From Washington to Knoxville, in
the heart of TVA’s far-flung power
empire, the committee has dug for
facts, rumors and figures to estab
lish why ousted TVA Administrator
Arthur Morgan raised such a hulla
baloo last winter.
The committee’s aim, said Davis,
was to find the “real, true ‘yard
stick’ cost of power and the total
amount of money going into TVA
development.”
Last week, after spending more
than half the $50,000 appropriation,
Chairman Davis decided 85 per cent
of his rummaging was concerned
with uninteresting auditing and ac
counting. Named to investigate for
the investigating committee was a
private investigator, M. C. Conick,
whose personal headache TVA now
becomes.
Labor
The nasty word “Communism”
hung like a spectre last week before
the eyes of C. I. O. Mogul John L.
Lewis. At Detroit and Los Angeles
his henchmen were having trouble.
Ex-Preacher Homer Martin, who
heads 375,000 members of the C. I.
O. United Automobile Workers,
found himself marked for liquida
tion by the four vice presidents he
recently found guilty of consorting
with Communists. Their charge:
That Martin himself has been con
sorting with President Jay Love-
stone of the Independent Communist
Labor league.*
To bewildered C. I. O. workers it
appeared that U. A. W.’s trouble was
simply a fight between Stalinist
Communists and Lovestone Commu
nists, each willing to fight for their
own beliefs no matter how many
unions are destroyed. Standing on
the sidelines at Detroit awaiting the
opportune moment was A. F. of L.’c
Francis Dillon who headed the U. A.
W. when it was a respectable Labor
Federation affiliate.
Meanwhile at Los Angeles, four
C. I. O. unions voted to withdraw
from Radical Harry Bridges’ Indus
trial Union council, charging he had
brought the body under Communist
control.
Aviation
Since its birth shortly after the
World war, U. S. commercial avia
tion has been bounced back and
forth by a dozen government agen
cies, has suffered from repudiated
agreements and constantly chang
ing administration. Worst low was
the government’s repudiation of air
mail contracts five years ago, an
experiment that ended in headaches
for all.
Last winter congress established
a Civil Aeronautics authority to
manage commercial aviation per
manently and sensibly. Its job: To
administer air mail contracts, su
pervise commercial air lines and
private fliers and study aviation
safety.
Last week the new authority took
over its job, two weeks before the
act goes into effect. As Chairman
Elmer J. Noble of Greenwich, Conn.,
walked into his office for the first
time he hoped to regulate avia
tion as successfully as another pol
icy-forming board, the Interstate
Commerce commission, has super
vised railroading.
Sports
Several weeks ago a young Chi
cago broker, Fred Tuerk, bet his
partner half a $30,000 plantation he
couldn’t play 144 holes of golf from
dawn to dusk without going over
95 on any 18 holes. Partner J.‘
Smith Ferebee took him up, start

nightfall all 144 holes were played
at an average of 86 strokes per 18
holes. Next day Broker Ferebee,
still golf hungry, played again to

• T.V.A. investigation flat
tens out as congressional
committee fails to get excited
over either side's charges ...
Sentiment grows for one-man
control of board.
KNOXVILLE, TENN.—Conviction
that there is no great merit in the
charges of David E. Lilienthal and
Harcourt A. Morgan that Arthur E.
Morgan, deposed chairman of the
Tennessee Valley authority, attempt
ed to “sabotage” the government’s
case in a lawsuit against the utilities,
or was “tampering” with witnesses
or seeking to bring about a decision
adverse to the government, is al
most general in the special congres
sional committee investigating the
TVA.
Conviction that Arthur E. Mor
gan’s charges against Lilienthal and
Harcourt Morgan are not very hot
is also apparent from conversations
with committee members.
Specifically, the committee does
think the authority took very little
pains to protect the federal treasury
when it was paying $680,000 for 550
acres of phosphate land which
had been bought a short time before
for $125,000. This was one of Mor
gan’s points of attack.
ARTHUR E. MORGAN
His charges were not very hot.
When it comes to Morgan’s
charge that Lilienthal and Harcourt
Mogan virtually ♦ ignored him,
sought to hamstring him in various
ways, and held meetings with pre
arranged programs of which he was
ignorant, the committee members
admit privately that Arthur E. Mor
gan himself is the best witness for
the other two directors on that.
After listening to A. E. Morgan at
length many of the committee mem
bers felt that they would have done
almost anything in reason to avoid
the long drawn-out discussions that
would inevitably have resulted had
no way been discovered to short cir
cuit the chairman.
In fact, after listening to all three
directors at tedious length, most
committee members find it in their
hearts to sympathize with all of
them for having to put up with the
others, and to understand why the
simple solution of allocating the
functions so that there need be few
er discussions in the board itself
was adopted.
It was this separation of the func
tions of the TVA into three almost
water - tight compartments, of
course, which led to much of the
trouble. Arthur E. Morgan had
picked the other two directors. He
was the first named, he was the
chairman, and he had recommend
ed the other two to the President.
So he felt a keen sense of respon
sibility.
Further, he is a very meticulous
person. He does not “yes” any
body who wants to agree with him.
He does not like to make decisions
until he has studied a question for
days, talked about it for weeks, and
called in three or four outside
groups of experts. He is that sort
of person. Magnificent for inquiry
on some question of great impor
tance but dubious soundness, A. E.
Morgan could easily become very
tiresome as an associate.
So the committee is inclined to
laugh off most of the charges, pro
and con.
A strong disposition is developing
among members of the congression
al investigating committee to rec
ommend that control of the project,
in the future, be placed in the hands
of one man instead of a three-man
board.
There is also a disposition to rec
ommend that in any future organi
zations of similar type which may
be set up the same idea of one-man
control be followed.
In recent questions Representa
tive Charles A. Wolverton of New
Jersey called the attention of Lilien
thal to the success which attended
this idea when Gen. George W.
Goethals was building the Panama
canal. Until he was given supreme
command, made virtually a czar,
by Theodore Roosevelt, then Presi
dent, the Panama job was a mess.
It was almost as bad in its personal
squabbles as TVA has been under
the bickerings of Lilienthal and A.
E. and H. A. Morgan.
Lilienthal
|
Lilienthal did not agree with this
suggestion—on the stand. But com
mittee members took his answers
with a grain of salt. Obviously it
would be in poor taste for Lilienthal
to espouse publicly the idea of
one-man rule. It would be too much
like his telling a congressional com
mittee what the congress, and the
President, ought to do. It just might
not happen to please the President.
On the matter of the General Ac
counting office, Lilienthal was quite
outspoken about
what congress ought
to do. He objected
to Former Comp
troller John R. Mc
Call’s "playing poli
tics” with TVA two
years ago. What he
really objects to is
the present power of
the comptroller’s of
fice to audit expend-
itures before they
are made, instead
of afterward.
But on the one-man control of
TVA it was obvious that Lilienthal
had not taken this up with the Pres
ident. Moreover, for him to say
that might have resulted in his trad
ing a reality for a shadow.
At the present time, and in fact
since the fall of 1933, Lilienthal has
had the substance. Harcourt Mor
gan has voted for every move Lilien
thal made. In return Lilienthal has
voted with H. A. Morgan, with A. E.
Morgan always in the minority. H.
A. Morgan was perfectly happy to
let Lilienthal have his way in re
turn for a free hand with fertilizer
and the land-grant colleges.
To have stated on the witness
stand that he liked the idea of a
one-man board would have en
dangered this now ripened and set
alliance. It might plague Lilien
thal considerably when that third
member of the TVA is appointed to
take the place of the ousted chair
man, A. E. Morgan.
Nevertheless, committee mem
bers are interested in the idea of
one-man control. They are not sure
the bickering they have listened to
almost to the limit of their endur
ance will not be resumed if and
when “another strong-minded man”
is appointed to the TVA board.
Explanation of So Much
Third Term Talk
Explanation of so much third-term
talk is the growing realization of the
New Dealers that not one of their
number seems likely to “make the
grade” at the Democratic National
convention in 1940. President Roose
velt himself would have been satis
fied if he could have gotten Robert
H. Jackson started. But Jim Far
ley, Ed Flynn of the Bronx, and
others with real followings in New
York would not give Jackson the
chance to make a record as gover
nor of New York. So the crowd
around Roosevelt that wants his pol
icies carried on, and each of whom
wants to retain his own place in the
sun, has come to the conclusion
that Roosevelt must make the “sac
rifice.”
A very important factor in the
third-term situation is that the con
servative Democrats are getting
stronger—seem more likely to con
trol a lot of big delegations in 1940.
Roosevelt can have New York’s del
egation for himself, but could not
deliver it against the wishes of the
men who balked him on Jackson, es
pecially if Governor Herbert H. Leh
man agreed with them. The mere
fact that Lehman, opposed to court
packing and alarmed about federal
spending, is assured of the Demo
cratic nomination for senator is the
signpost of this situation.
C. I. O. Face* Unfriendly
Congres* in January
C. I. O. will face a much more
unfriendly congress in January—a
congress that will be all set to revise
the Wagner Labor Relations act in
some essential particulars. No drive
to accomplish what many employ
ers would like to see will get any
where, but the act is apt to be re
vised as the American Federation
of Labor would like, despite any
efforts Roosevelt may make to stop
it. Sentiment is building up too
strong against the C. I.. O. and
against the National Labor Relations
board for alleged partiality to C. I. O.
<j. I. O. will face the new congress
with an almost unbroken record of
defeats whenever it appealed to the
voters in behalf of candidates, or
against candidates except where
the American Federation of Labor
happened to be on the same side, as
is the case in the campaign for Sen
ator Alben W. Barkley. William
Green happened to be on the win
ning side in every fight so far where
his organization has opposed the C.
I. O., starting off with Pennsylvania
and Iowa.
One of the reasons most of the
political dopesters figure Ellison D.
(Cotton Ed) Smith is almost sure
of renomination, although he was
high up on the purge list for having
opposed the President on the court
and other issues, is that A. F. of L.
is fighting for him. Incidentally, the
“purge” has narrowed down to Sen
ators Walter F. George in Georgia
and Millard E. Tydings in Mary
land, so far as any positive results
are within the realm of reason. Cer
tainty of renomination of Senator
Alva B. Adams in Colorado, added
to the list of insurgent victories
achieved and certain to come,
makes that pretty sure. Under the
Colorado law Adams’ opponent did
not get enough votes in his party
convention to get his name on th*
primary ballot.

Of Football dal reorganization
of the army is
news this week. It might not have
come off had it not been for a cer
tain incident on the West Point foot
ball field. Gen. Malin Craig, chief
of staff, is the reorganizer. He is
preparing the army for the open
game—swiftness, mobility, adaptive
ness, as in modern football.
It was an instant of inspired open
football, back in the juggernaut
days of the guards back and the
side-line buck, that saved young
Malin Craig for the army and the
current reordering of tactics and
equipment.
Just before the game with
Trinity college in 1897, the West
Point scholastic command had
decided to retire Cadet Craig.
Of an ancient army line, with
many relatives in the service,
he had been visiting aronnd
army posts. His marks had suf
fered. The ax was to fall just
after the game.
Craig was a brilliant backfield
player, but somewhat given to un
planned maneuvers. Carrying the
ball at a critical turn of the game,
he lost his interference in a broken
field. He shook off several tacklers,
but, somewhere around the 35-yard
line, a stone wall of Trinity play
ers loomed ahead.
Ducking a hurtling body, scarcely
checking his stride, he booted a per-
. feet field goal—
Young Craig winning the game,
Boot* Goal with appropriate

trimmings. Of
course, the faculty couldn’t fire a
hero. The ax was put away, a tutor
was found, and Cadet Craig finished
creditably—to establish the open
game in the American army.
He was a baseball star, also,
and old Pop Anson tried to sign
him for the Chicago National
team. Born in St. Joseph, Mo.,
he was the grandson of a Civil
war general. His father was a
major and he has a son recently
out of West Point.
In the Spanish-American war, the
Philippines, France and in minor
cnixups, he was a quick thinker and
a self-starter, heavily garlanded
from the first and known as a “pro
gressive” tactician.

A FEW years ago, Richard

Herr Strauss was

favor.
His librettist for his new op
era, “Der Fridenstag,” is a cer
tified Aryan, Joseph Gregor, a
Viennese poet, and its world pre
mier at Munich is a brilliant
success, with new garlands for
the seventy-five-year-old com
poser
So apparently all is forgiven, and
the traditional rebel of the musical
world is rebelling no longer. He
had decided to save the world at
any cost, but turning sixty, he con
cluded he was doing well enough by
merely keeping out of jail.
When “Salome” was presented in
1905, puritanical New York was
shocked, and the

presentation i n
New York in 1921 was taken calmly.
Strauss’ “Murky Psychographies,”
as the critics called them, didn’t
bring any riot calls. These muddy
phantasmagorias of his earlier
years got him into many battles,
but he settled down to writing and
—being a good business man—to
money making. Once, when he was
quarreling with Berlin, he was
asked if he would play there. "I
would play on a manure pile if they
pay me for it,” he said.
He is no kin of the famous
waltz family of Vienna. In mel
low and beery old Bavaria, his
father was a horn-blower and
his mother a brewer’s daughter.
He has prospered through his
later years, the owner of a cas
tle in Vienna and an estate in
Bavaria.
In 1930, German cities were fight
ing for him es their leading citizen,
with chambers of commerce com

came the brief eclipse over the
“non-Aryan” associations, and now
the full effulgence of his restored
career.

Oilcloth Shelf Edging
For Kitchen Windows

\X7E ARE indebted to one of the

we like interesting windows in this
room as well as any other. Well,
here is the answer with the mini
mum of work.
The curtains themselves are as
easy tc wash and iron as a dish
towel—no frills, just hems. But
don’t make them too skimpy. A
full width of 35-inch-wide material
is not too wide. Cut away the sel
vage at the front edge and hem
it with a 1-inch hem. Use a 2-
inch hem at the bottom. This gives
the curtains body so they will
have smart crisp lines. The cas
ing at the top should be just wide
enough for the curtain rod. And
don’t forget to allow for shrink
age if the material is not pre
shrunken.
If figured material is used,
choose colors that will harmonize
with the shelf edging along the
top of the window and the tie-
backs as shown in the sketch. Th*
thumb tacks used for the shell
edging may also add color inter
est.
