WASHINGTON. June 27. Financ
ial backers of political movements
are always called "angels" by the
trade. This Is a figurative term, but
new literal mean
ing as a result of
the last financial
report of the
democrat 1 c na
tional committee.
This report has
produced some
"angel s" who
really are angels.
They are not
only bountiful
but torn ewhat
Intangible.
One ieadlng
PA IX MALLON
contributor Is listed as a Mr. James
A. McDonough of Boston. He gave
10,000, which would bo a small for
tune to some people. You would think
that anyone showing such faith In a
political cause would certainly be
hailed around the headquarters or
that cause. But no one around the
democratic national committee knows
Mr. McDonough. No one there Is able
to Identify him.
A group of democratic politicians
was In town from Boston a few days
ago. Inquiry was made among them
to ascertain the Identity of Mr. Mc
Donough. One of them said they
thought he was the regional NRA di
rector for that district. A check-up
at NRA disclosed the director was a
John J. McDonough. a former state
house employe. The Boston politicians
then agreed that their largest donor
was apparently someone whom even
they did not know.
There were two equally large con
tributors, A Mr. Benjamin H. Connor
of Paris and New York and n Mr.
Thomas E. Murray, Jr., of Brooklyn
gave 10,000 each. Neither of these Is
generally known In the earthly po
litical sphere of Washington, but
both are Identifiable. Inquiry has de
veloped that Mr. Connor Is a Paris
lawyer of substantial means who has
distinguished himself In tax cases. He
Is known to Mr. Forbes Morgan, the
democratic treasurer. It seems that
Mr. Murray is president of the Metro
politan Devices Co. of Brooklyn,
which Is not listed In Moody's in
dex of corporations, but he can be
identified properly as an old friend
of Postmaster General Farley. None
of the three Is listed In who's who.
The only point to the matter Is
that the republicans cannot expect
to have much of a chance In '36 with
the angels Joining tho side of democ
racy like this.
The Inside story of how President
Roosevelt nudged congress Into doing
something about his wealth-tax Ideas
Is another revelation of how he works.
The suggestion first was presented
to some of the prominent congres
sional leaders privately at the White
House weeks ago. It Is more than t
surmise that they all advised against
It. Most - of them have confessed as
much to their friends. Their objec
tions were that congress Is tired, that
the move may be politically wise but
Is not economically advisable.
The next that 6ome of them heard
about It was when they were told
that the message was on Its way from
the White House to the capltol.
The leaders Immediately split over
what they should do. Speaker Byrns
la one of those who Is supposed to
have counseled the president against
the move In the first place, but when
ovr-ruled, he turned and urged that
congress take It up and dispose of It
at once. Other lesders (Senator Har
rison. Representative Dmighton)
planned to put If off until fall or
next year.
But the independents and repub
licans (Borah and La Toilette) seld
the ball and started to run away with
it. They wanted immediate action,
and exerted strong publicity pressure.

OSSININO, N. Y.. June 37. (AP)
Eva Coo, doomed .to die In the elec

today to hope for an eleventh-hour
reprieve from Gov. Herbert Lehman.
Men who have studied the legal
currents which carry convicted killers
through tho death house believed she
was grasping a straw.
Also hoping agalrust hope for a re
prieve was Leonard Scarnlcl. He, too.
Is under sentence to die tonight.
Mrs. Coo was convicted of the In
surance slaying of Harry Wright,
handy man at her road house near
Cooperstown. Scarnlcl's conviction was
for the holdup killing of a Rennse
laer detective.
"The worry and dreadful suspense
are almost unbearable." the 43-year-old
woman waa quoted aa saying. "I
can't fall asleep until nearly daybreak
and then I get up with a horrible
headache.
"The only thing that heartens me
is that Governor Lehman is going
over tho papers and still considering
my request for a commutation. I still
believe he will do something for me."
Prison officials did not tell her
thnt the governor customarily makes
no announcement when he rejects a
plea.
Mrs. Coo has lost much weight.
Her hair, blonde and fluffy when she
entered the death cell. Is dark with
a sprinkling of gray. Her once round
and placid face Is drawn and fur
rowed. She sent word to her family, resi
dents of Haliburton, Ont., that she
did not wish to see them "in this

Roosevelt today asked congress for
legislation to bar suits for payment
