News Behind
By PAUL
(Coatiwaad from paga 4)
tied farther by the president's
failure to go as far as Lewis want-
ad in endorsing the CIO bill which
would have prevented the govern
ment from letting contracts to any
firm charged witk violating the
Wagner act.
Tbe sab - climax of .their
estrangement was reached
whew tke presldeat appelated
Leiserson to the NLRB without
notifying or consulting with
Lewm who tboaght CIO was
ronainjr, the board.
Siace these Inner events CIO
officials hare commonly said off
the record that the president did
not know the purposes or mean
ings of tke Wagner act, and those
close to the White House have
been equally caustic about Lewis,
as was disclosed in an incident
when the president told a caller
last week that Senator Burt
Wheeler was making a political
mistake in getting mixed up with
that crowd. (You read it here.)
Lewis has done some off-tbe-record
hinting about possible re
publican candidates but top poli
ticians do not expect him to break
yet, either in that direction or
back to his American labor party.
His associates are mentioning a
ticket of Wheeler and Rayburn,
which has inspired the general be
lief that he will continue to bore
on the democratic line for the
time being.
Note: Lewis aad Pressman
worked up tke Colnaabns speech
predicting Mr. Roosevelt's "ig
nominious" defeat if he runs,
without consul ting with Hillman,
Murray, Van Bttaer, and other
CIO chieftains, some of whom are
inclines!, to favor the third try.
Further evidence that Lewis
might encounter trouble along the
political path he has chosen lies
in the endorsement given the pres
ident by CIO Industrial councils in
New York (500,000 members)
and New Jersey (200,00 mem
bers). Reading the headlines other
wise lately you would think Mr.
Roosevelt already renominated
and reelected. This is th result
of a scare campaign, actively and
shrewdly promoted by the third
term faction (the Corcoran group
aad Lowell Mellett). Their stories
have been widely circulated to the
effect that Mr. Roosevelt has
to 1-5 of the convention votes al
ready tied in the bag. Their wide
publicity, for instance, gave Flor
ida to Mr. Roosevelt when Sen
ator Pepper came back from a
central committee meeting .and
announced his opinion that the
delegation would be for Roosevelt.
Uncirculated outside of Florida
was the fact that the committee
had decided to hold a primary In
which the Garner people expect
to be active. Their cause was fur
ther aided when General Hugh
Johnson expressed an opinion that
Garner would retire from the race
within 30 days. A denial issued by
Garner's campaign manager, Ger
many, to the effect that the V. P.
was "la to the finish" failed to
circulate to the presa north and
east of Kansas City.

A Little Dutchman Created

Throughout the civilized world today these people who rent

doing business which was started in the 17th century.
In 1626, a Dutch printer put into type the first Want Ad; little

uberant talking- by aa Ohis
democratic leader awarded that
state unconditionally to the
third term.
Yet not a single slate of dele
gates has yet been worked up for
either the president, Garner, or
other factions for any state. The
situation may eventually work
around tbe way the third tenners
are hoping and arranging, but
other arrangements are also be
ing made to counteract their pur
poses. Mr. Garner has let it be
known only to his friends in Ohio
that if any other candidate except
the favorite son. Senator Vic Don
ahey, enters that primary, he too
will enter. Of course, he is refer
ring to Mr. Roosevelt.
Not all the new deal liberal ele
ments are congealing with the 3rd
term snowball. Prominent liberal
senators (not including Wheeler)
have refrained pointedly from
making any commitment and pri
vately they say they want to see
first when Mr. Roosevelt is going
to do before they tie themselves to
any promises.
Their position accurately pre
sents the basic general situation
among the great bulk of demo
cratic workers, from General Far
ley right on down to the precinct
leader in Keokuk. A great many
of them possibly a majority
could be drawn into the White
House line if Mr. Roosevelt would
say the word, others are intending
to fight. At the top here the Im
pression is that Mr. Roosevelt
made ap his mind he would not
run about six weeks ago, when he
started handling the subject with
a humorous twist at every oppor
tunity. But nothing can be clear un
til he says so.
