STRIKERS DISROBE DOCK WORKER FNCE j Held a Perjure7 IRKED BY DELAY IN DOCK SHE ON 10 GETS HIS SUPPORT IN FALL Rv PAIJI. MAT.tiOV WASHINGTON, D. C. Juno . Tha White Houae la maintaining the pretense of Impartiality In the dem v.r.ttn nrlmarlea and congressional election contests only as an of- lclal poae. 'On the Inside. 1 Is doing all the isual things, and even some unus ' ual ones, to elect Its friends and defeat It enemies. , That la an old gine. All presi dents have real- ..... thav Paul Mall on may get their fingers burned If they start playing with local political matches. So they adopt the natural policy of avoiding official commit ments while working very actively on the Inside to attain the desired re sults. President Roosevelt Is proving him self wiser In that game, so far, than most of his predecessors. The president has found several ways of letting local voters know who his candldatea are without In dulging In open Indorsement. The latest example of that Is In the handling of the republican pro gressive friends of the administra tion. You can write It down In your hat right now that Mr. Roosevelt will not openly Indorse Senators La Follette, Cutting, et al, as long as they have democratlo opponents. He cannot do It because he would get Into trouble with his local demo cratic organizations. His feeling la that the republican progressives are his friends. He would like to see them elected. He cannot openly Indorse them, as long as they are opposed by democrats or by other progressives who are also his friends. All he can do 1 help them ln ' directly by Inside pressure and by public hints for Instance, In the way he once patted Senator Tom Con nolly on the back In a warm display of friendship ' before a number of Texas callers at the White House. ' The best example of the way the system works can be 'told 'by the inside story of what happened m Ohio during the last few days. Democratic Governor White had announced as candidate for the sen ate. All was quiet on the beautiful Ohio. Then ex-Governor Vic Donahey Jumped Into the race against White for the democratic senatorlsl nom- , .

Suddenly Representative West flew OUt to t-NUO Rnu i.uu ' name, making It a three-cornered race. No one around the White House has said anything publicly, and prob ably no one will, but you do not need a spyglass to see who the White House favors In that race. What happened on the Inside In tne unio snuwun ,uiu was this: The administration was quite con tent to have Governor white as the democratic senatorial nominee, In the nie There had been some talk about White's failure to release his delegation to Roosevelt earlier at the Chicago convention of 1932, but it was not serious. At least, rosi-master-General Farley and the others swear that they harbored no 111 feelings, and they seem to be sincere ....... 4ka Two things made Farley and the tin I TTniiM, nolltlcal advisers decide to put West into the race. One was the fact that Mr. uonaney guv ... n-.u-'- lnrinrtnm,nt of hlS iwr. b ...w candidacy contained an Indorsement of the new deal, nut in ra , I... t. iet. Messrs.

The administration tried to be as friendly as possible to White. There re good reasons for believing he was offered considerations, possibly even a federal Job.
