BALKHAOe (Copyright, 1937. by the North Amer ican Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) WASHINGTON, July 22. Offer of assistant majority leadership of the senate to Pat Harrison, defeated can didate for the No. 1 post, la a definite part of the strategy for healing the Democratic party breach over the court bill. The matter may not have been discussed when Senator Barkley and Senator Harrison lunched, by spe cial Invitation, at the White House Wednesday. Late In the afternoon Senator Barkley denied that he had as yet given consideration to the question of choosing an assistant. But the story of the offer la fully substantiated, and you can stick to it whether Mr. Harrison regrets or accepts. If Senator Harrison accepts the as sistant leadership it would help the administration In two ways. First. It would secure the active co-operation of an effective and forceful per sonality and, second. It would re gain the support of some of the Mis slpplan'a more ardent followers who might otherwise nourish a grudge. It might be added that heretofore the office of assistant leader has been more or less of an official post. It la not elective. The leader simply goes up to a colleague and asks him to help out. Senator Berkley's victory by one was a surprise. The administration was positive It bad a six-vote margin. Senator Har rison's followers were certain they had It In the bag. . Antl - admlnlstratlonlsts Insist the vote reveals a nearly fifty-fifty split In the Democratic party. Disinterested observers Insist that It is no Indlctalon of alignment for -or Against - the- administration, nor yet the line-up on the court bill. though the latter affected the vote In thla way: Many senators who might have Toted for Senator Harrison on the basis of seniority or friendship though on that score It would be hard to choose felt that since the court oppositionists were committed against Barkley they must stick on the definite pro-court side of the fence. As the record of the court fight has Unfolded since the death of Senator Robinson. It has revealed the world M compromise' written more and more clearly upon it. Gradually It Is be ing realized tha word Is an un spoken prophecy of the dead leader. Only a very few know the slgnlfl fine of thla revelation. The second chapter of tha story of Senator Robinson's plan can now be added to the first, mentioned In this (Continued on Page Three. ) FROlliflMPIG WASHINGTON, July 52.
