NF.BD OF PRESIDENT IN PERSON LIEUTENANTS NOT ENOUGH TO BEAT BTATj: MACHINES ... IOWA SETBACK MAY SPUR ADMINISTRATION PURGE WASHINGTON, June 10. Surpris ing enough, Instead of moderating the White House hunt for Demo cratic heresy, the setback In the Iowa primary may actually Intensify It. The Presldent'a general staff 1 sttll determined to stamp out the agnos tics, manlcheans and alblgenslans of the Democracy. And since the test of a heretic Is unbelief in presiden tial Infallibility, the President will be tempted to continue the crusade. The crusade may gain new violence from the Interpretation put on the Iowa voting by the group of Influen tial left-wingers who managed the unsuccessful campaign to destroy Senator Guy M. Gillette. As they see It, James Roosevelt's proclama tion of friendship for Representative Otha D. Wearln. and the public bless ing of Wearln by WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins were not enough. Gillette and hla supporters were still able to Intone psalms of devotion to Roosevelt. "They pretended to love the boss and tried to beat his man at the same time," la the way the general staff members put It. "They oould not do that If the boss spoke his own mind." - Perhaps the general staff members overestimate the pulling power of the Presldent'a name. Nevertheless, they now hope to persuade the President to Intervene In person in the other primaries where the White House Is running a true believer . against a heretic. They think that the Presi dent's pretense that his right hand knoweth not what his left hand doeth Is damaging the .President's cause. Now it remains to be seen whether tbc President will agree. In Kentucky, the President Is al ready expected to speak for Senator Alben W. Barkley. If he adopts the new policy, he will do battle In Georgia for U. 8. District Attorney Lawrence Camp against Senator Wal ter F. George. He will endorse Rep resentative David Lewis in his Mary land race against Senator Millard F. Tydlngs. And he will go west and fight for his friends on the great plains. His weapon need not be point-blank commitments. He knows well enough how to give the voters (Continued on Page Ten.)
