May 23. A lending non-partisan financial prognosticator has burst Into headlines with a pre diction that Pres 1 d e n t Roosevelt will be re-elect fJ next year. This la a u b stanttally the private view of some of the most astute Re publicans in con gress, as express ed during th' last two weeks What they be lieve Is that the Democrats have "T a m manylzed" the country, a they call It. What they mean Is that Mr. Roosevelt's as sociates have built up strong precinct organl rations out through the coun try. These certainly comprise the strongest national political organisa tion the Democrats ever had. The nucleus of the old perpetuating Republican organization was largely centered in postmastershlps and regu lar federal offices. The Democrats have doubled or trebled the extent of this old basis through various gov ernment organizations. For instance there are 3.000 county agents in the AAA who have their hands always on the grass roots. In addition, the administration will spend upwards of four billions out in the country during the next 18 months before election. No opposition can hope to match these two practical technical Influ ences, the importance of which is recognized by ail who study the sci ence of pontics. These underlying advantages have been overlooked by all except the politicians lately, because the op position has had an edge in pub-Hetty:-' FoT"the first two years of the new deal, the opposition pub licity could not get started. Pro administration agtitatton predomin ated In the newspapers, on the radio, etc. During the last six months, this advantage has been gradually weak ened until pow the opposition Is getting ae much or more public at tention than the new deal. This is so obvious that all persons with the sense of sight or hearing already know it. But the politician are not over-estimating the Influence of It. .In fact. ;: of the reasons why some Republicans talking down their chances now is to hold back on the spread of anti-new deal nub llcity. They believe It got started too soon, that there will be a nature 1 reaction. They realize fully the equal or greater importance of organization and expenditures. The status of these three major fac tors may be altered within the com ing year. It Is, therefore, too early now for anything except good guesses. That is all these current opinions are Another financial authority has made a survey predicting the Repub licans will gain 90 sent In the house next time. This is almost ridicu lous. The Issue rlext time will be Mr. Roosevelt. Congressional candi dacies will not. matter. The people of this country have not been edu cated to splitting tickets. Whichever way Mr. Roosevelt goes, the average Democratic candidate for congressman and dog-oatcher will go with him. Chairman Joseph Kennedy of the securities and exchange commission t supposed to be quietly preparing to leave his job in the fall. His per sonal business affairs are (or were) extensive. He left them to take the Job with the understanding he would go back to private business when th com miss Ion was fully organized and operating. Of course, there Is always the chance that Mr. Roosevelt will talk htm into staying a while longer. (Continued od Page Four.)

About 300 union pickets had gathered In an attempt to force closure of the non-union op eration.
