The Tug well resignation was dictated by cir cumstances more personal than "po litical. The professor's sphere of Influ ence within the New Deal had dwindled to Juat about one degree above zero. When the p r e a 1 d ent handed over the farm tenant problem to Agri culture Secre tary Wallace at 10:00 a. m., last Tuesday, there was little left for Tugwell to do but to drop In at the White House about noon and realgn. He had been crowded out of the ag riculture department by Wallace a year ago. Ho etlll had a desk there and received a salary as under-sec-retary, but only occasionally came around. HI rural resettlement and subsistence homestead experiments turned out, by experience, to be play things. He found they could never be built up Into Important national pro grama, as originally hoped. If he could have put across his plan for the ten ant farm problem. In which be waa (teenlv Interested he would have had something to do here. But when that went to Wallace, there was little left to engage his talents. Add to this the fact that oven a breln truster can have a wife and two children to aupport, and you will wonder why It took him so long to find out there la more sugar In tne American Molasses company, operated by his old frleud. Charles Taussig. Note Tuewell was appointed on the Wallace farm tenant study com mittee, but the significance of the appointment lies In the position of his name on the list. It was next to last. You may suspect the Republican attacks had something to do with Dr. Tugwell's departure. They may have had some Influence, but not very much; Neither did the yowling by so called New Deal conservatives, who have been saying Tugwell was a po litical liability to the president. If anyone got Tugwell, beyond his own earnest efforts In that direction. It was the liberal crowd around the agricultural department. That la both an old and a new nrv fh trouble started when Dr. Tugwell Is aupposed to have Irritated the meat packers at a time when AAA Administrator Chester Davis in trvinir to act them into line for the original AAA program. The spUt opened wide when secretary nauacc purged hta department of some of Tugwell's best friends. One new angle on It Is that Tug well recently attempted to transfer his resettlement administration to agriculture and Wallace declined It nor did Wallace care much for the Tugwell farm tenant plan. It seems Tugwell wanted to organlre a cor poration like the RFC and get started In a big way, while Wallace wants to start from the bottom. Fundamentally, also, the AAA crowd has felt all along that the resettle ment administration gave the New Deal a bad name. They considered Tiws.il'. atrnrt to be basically con trary to theirs.
