The utili ty lobby la being blamed for the house Insurrection against President Roosevelt. It did Its part. The bombardment o t letters from wid owed and or phaned investors back home was very effective. But there was more behind the Insurrection than the lobby. The blunt truth la a larger num ber of Democrat 1UL MALLON 7 V ic congressmen are coming around to the view that they must stop Mr. Roosevelt, that he Is potng too far. Their secret resentment and public praise of the administration Is an v old story. But what haa happened flnce the new tax program was sub V mitted Is a new and more Important -one. You can get the proper slant on It If you consider that a switch of four votes would have defeated the new deal shipping bill In the house last week; that there are Democrats now working privately to block and post pone action on Mr. Roosevelt's tax program. In other words, the silent "Stop Rosevelt" movement among members of his own party has gained unex pected headway. The president has always put down such backstage surges before, at though he hns not been up against anything quite like this. For one thing, his patronage and relief bait Is now running low. Most of the patronage already haa been distribut ed. The relief set-up la being con ducted in such a way that It does not provide many fish for the seals. Also, the full force of the White House legislative body (Messrs. West, Hurja and Corcoran) was thrown into the house utility contest, but could M not even make the Issue close. However, the prestige of the White House Is great. If skilfully used, it should save the remainder of the pro gram. Certain well advised financial Inter eats do not think so. That Is why the stock market has been holding up so well In the face or adverse new deal moves. To show you how Democratic con gressmen now are talking in the cloak rooms: A conservative Democratic senator makes no secret of his off-the-record belief that Mr. Roosevelt's taxation program will defeat him for re-election next year. He says so at every opportunity. Several southern Democratic house members have talked over the ad visability of party realignments, the abolition of the Democratic and Re publican parties and the institution of K conservative and a liberal party. They think It la coming soon. This, of course, Is Just talk, but It discloses the underlying excitement in congress. . Fanciful rumors hare been gener (Continued on Page Four.)

July 3. ( AP) Si multaneous Investigations In both branches of congress of lobbying for and against the utility holding com pany bill appeared likely today after the senate commerce committee had approved a senate Inquiry. Senator Wheeler (D.. Mont.), an administration supporter In the util ity fight In which President Roose velt was twice defeated In the house, proposed a compromise on the pro vision desired by the chief executive to outlaw "unnecessary" holding com panies In seven years. He suggested that two holding com panies be permitted In each integrat ed, regional system of operating com panies. A showdown la expected In the sen ate Monday when It will be asked to concur In the house action striking out this "death sentence" clause. It approved that provision by a one vote margin. At his press conference today, President Roosevelt would not discuss directly his house defeat. He quoted part of a poem and said a newsman's Inquiry about whether works funds would be withdrawn from Passama quoddy power project In Maine was foolish question number one. An assertion by Representative Brewster (R., Maine) that he had been told money for the project might be withdrawn If he did not vote for the administration on the utilities bill precipitated the house decision yesterday to have lta rules committee Investigate lobbying. The senate Interstate commerce committee today voted for a similar inquiry by a special senatorial com mittee with an appropriation of 9150, 000.
