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

clearly upon it. Gradually It Is be

WASHINGTON, July 23. pvThe
senate enacted over President Roose

emergency" Interest rates on farm
loans.
It voted to override the veto 71 ta
it. more than the two-thirds major
ity required. The house previously
had overridden Mr. Rooaevolt's veto
300 to 88.
Tho now law extends for one year
the 3J4 per cent rate on approxima
tely 83.0O0.O0O.O0O of federal land

It also reduces from five to four per

about 800.000.000 of land bank com
missioner loans, secured largely by
second mortgsges.
Barkley Opposes
Senator Barkley of Kentucky. In his
first major apeech aa majority leader,
urged unsuccessfully that the veto
be sustained. He said the bill would
Impose ft 840,000,000 annual burden
on the treasury.
"It we continue thla Interest sub
sidy as a government policy on farm
loans," Barkley declared, "lt will be
difficult to resist the same kind of.
request from Home Owner Loan cor
poration borrowers and other govern
ment debtors,
"And If we should yield to their re
quest, the treasury would be forced,
to shoulder the annual burden of
1300,000.000 to 8300.000.000." , :
McNary for Overriding
But Senator McNary (R.-ore.). min
ority leader, told the senate he was
not In favor of trying to balance the
budget with funds from the farmer
who has a mortgage on hie farm." He
asserted the president had made "no
substantial effort" to , balance tha
budget.
Vetoing the bill, Mr. Roosevelt con
tended there was "no Justification for
continued government subsidy" ot the
farm debtors.
The average rate In the loan con
tracts with the approximately 840.
000 farm borrowers wee given as 8.07
per cent during the debate.
