WASHINGTO, July 8. The utili

house Insurrection against President
Roosevelt. It did
Its part. The
bombardment o t
letters from wid

But there was

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.

Senate Committee Approves
Inquiry Following House
Action Showdown Ex-
. pected in Death Clause
WASHINGTON. 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,
