(Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon) WASHINOTON, D. C, April 3. Mr. Roosevelt's Democratlo congressmen are doing a lot of cloakroom growling these days about the mugwumps. That Is the new name they have lor the braln-trusters. ttie Anthony Ad vocates and all the social-minded ad visers surrounding tho White House. It sounded bad, but all it means Is one who "belongs to a political party, and reserves the right to independent action." That description tit the advisers better than anything they have been called previously, and they have been called a lot. Howover, It is an old political word and has accu mulated some sinister Implications, such aa a hint of radicalism, in Its long career. The Democratic congressmen, par ticularly a number of southerners. ' offer the word In Its most obnoxious sense. More than anything else It shows the Inner situation which has arisen between congress and the White House. The congressmen say they have been getting a lot of mall from home during the last few weeks which has changed their minds about many things. This mall has been continuously laudatory of the president but In creasingly critical of his advisers. it has unouestlonably encouraged congress recently to resist some of the tendencies of the new deal. At least it Is the excuse congressmen offer privately lor the sharp over throw of the president on his veto of the veterans' and pay cut restora tions. Off the floor they say that If the administration is going to "throw all that money away on CWA" It can afford 200.000,000 or more for the veterans. Also. "He Is Just listening to the mugwumps; what do they know about politics?" Those arguments had more Influ ence than anything said openly in the debate. Tho same feeling was noticeable In senate action on the Bnnkhead cotton control bill. What the senate did to that bill was a thinly concealed af front to the Wallace-Tugwell group sponsoring the measure. A passed, It would not control anything, ex cept Wallace and . Tugwell. . An amendment was Inserted ex empting the first six bales for every farmer. There are roughly about 2,000.000 cotton farmers. The ex emption therefore could theoretically apply to 12,000.000 bales. Only 13, 000,000 bales were produced last year. In practice the exemptions would be much less because the bigger farmers produce the most cotton, but the example Is striking proof of what the senators thought about the AAA. The AAA boys will have consider able difficulty getting the bill back In workable shape. In other smaller things, there has been a similar undercurrent of feel ing. It seemed to be present In a much milder way In the general de mand for revision of the original stock market bill. It Is also a likely explanation of why some Democrats were so eager to sponsor an investigation of the brain trust on the slightest excuse. The next thing on which an In vestigation Is likely to break out In a serious way Is silver.. Sllverltes are making the most of the undercurrent and aro passing the word around that Mr. Roosevelt Is being badly advised on that subject. Blame la being placed on Treasury Secretary Morgen thau and Professors Warren and Rogers. It is rather thin propaganda, but it is making headway In the senate. There will be no surprise If the sen ate takes the meaningless Dies bill and lacks the important Wheeler na tionalization scheme on It as an amendment. That would not mean much more than another affront. Mr. Roosevelt would veto the plan even If the house approved, and It could not pass over a veto. When you boll all this lentlment down vou will see It does not exactly constitute a congressional revolt against the administration. It has the elements of a political maneuver rather than a rebellion. The Democratic congressmen do not want to revolt against Mr. Roosevelt. He la still too popular for that. No attacks are being made on him. and moat of the attacks on his advisers are Indirect. The movement has two purposes In one: To make political hay for the com ing elections out of such things as veterans, pay cuts and sliver, and To blame It on the mugwumps- Senator Wheeler has told newsmen he has Insufficient votes to pass his liver amendment, but has told the silver people victory Is assured. What he told the silver people represents his best Jcdgment. I.oula Howe has been operating aa acting president since Mr. Roosevelt's t Continued on Page Four.)

HOT CLUE FOUND IN MASS MURDER NEAR BREMERTON White-Haired Fugitive Re fused Right of Appeal From Turkish Edict Law Battle Looms in Istanbul By Prlscilla Kins: Associated Press Foreign Staff.
