WASHINGTON. March 14 Leading
characters In the Johnsan-Coughlln-Long
radio brawl are not as bitter
they seem to
be. Inwardly they
seem to be satis
fied with result

sstlsiled la Gen
eral Johnson's
Invisible second
In the new deal
corner.
The eenttal
strategy of the
Jonnson attack
was to give Huey
and Father
Coughltn some

personal ants to scratch so they would
-stop scratching the new deal so vig-
orously. Well. Father Ccu?hlln an
nounced he was still for Roosevelt
and Huey began to be careful about
what he said the day after Johnson's
speech.
To make It perfect, the Long and
Ooughlm followers here believe they
won. and so do the followers of the
Johnson viewpoint.
The new deal promoters have no
Idea that they have settled the heavy.
weight political championship yet.
But they do believe they can see
how it probably W.U coma out. They
believe Long and Coughlln now aro
at their peak; that their popularity
will play out during the next 12
months, because they cannot keep
their nrograms forever fresh snd new;
that eventually their radicalism will
assure President Rooeeveit's re-eiee.
tlon by driving all conservatives Into
his camp.
It all denenda on business. If
business Improves considerably dur

than Huey and Father coughlln.
The only one who got shot in the
Johnaon-Ooughlln-Long fracas was
Bernard Baruch. General Johnson
vn, that. whn be charted.
It may be doubted, but It Is true,
that Johnson went to Baruch for ad
vice about making the attack, and
Baruch advised against tt. The fi
nancier felt that hla friend Johnson

think the genersl would accomplish
anything, that people woum not nuj

Johnson replied he waa free, white
and 21. had a right to express his
views, and would do so. whether peo
o I4vn- It or not. He thought this
offhand statement so good that he
late Inked It Into his epeeen.
The reason Mr. rTooaevelt sent that
strong and unusual message to con
gress on the holding company eradi
cation bill was half-told in hit mess
age. The holding company campaign
i has been getting under his sum.
Tbe day before the message was
dispatched, a hot tip was passed
around In New Tork and Washington
tliat the President would withdraw
the bill, and the new bank bill, as
well. Every Important news agency
received It from sources which could
not be traced.
Newsmen realized It was silly, but
inquired about It at the White House.
The reaction was tbe same as If trje
holding companies had put a cactus
In the President's chslr.
The withdraws; Up m really only
one needle In the cactus which spur

way some liberals in congress hare
been talking privately about the bill,
aajlng it went further than tfcey ever
hopeu to go. The President was try
Ins o prevent any moderation of the
bill resulting from such talk.
The nsW dealers are half Inclined
to back out of the pending supreme
court test on NRA. Vou may see
them, shortly, dismiss the suit sgalnst
the Belcher Lumber company.
This was the first big NRA test to
be heard by the court this spring.
Jn the face of the court's action on
oil. the new deal lawyers are none
too confident about It. They think
It is foolish to take a chance on n
adverse decision while the perma
nent form of the NRA Is undeter
mined In the senate.
Some feelers have been put out care,
fully and It Is understood the court
may permit the suit to be dismissed.

ing:
"The public will benefit In the long
