ROOSEVELT INTERVENTION
IN PRIMARIES SOUGHT
LEFT-WINGERS FEF.I. 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

PORTLAND, June 10. ( AP) As
serting that the federal power com
mission's" revision of Bonneville dam
schedules offered no "appreciable
change" from the original. W. D. B.
Dodson, manager of tho Portland
chamber of commerce, promised to
day a fight "to the end of time" for
reductions.
The chamber executive, 'speaking
for Interests opposed to tho sched

and not calling more elaborate hear
ings.
WASHINGTON, Juno 10. (AP)
The federal power commission an

power submitted by Administrator

sonably be expected" to amortlra the
project cost "over a reasonable pe
riod of years."
Rates per kilowatt year' as ap
proved were the same as proposed
by Ross for prime and secondary
power.
At site rates confirmed by the
commission for prime power was
$14.50 per kilowatt year; for second
ary power, 9.50 per kilowatt year.
Transmission system rates, to be
uniform over the entire transmis
sion system, and to be available to

vateiy-owned electric utilities for re
sale only, were fixed as follows: For
prime power, 917.50 per kilowatt
year: for secondary power, $11.60 per
xnowatt year.
The commission reduced from nine
to four the number of rate sched
ules originally submitted by Ross
and made certain other changes in
the schedules. '
Proposed schedules for sale of sur
plus power were eliminated and will
be submitted again, the commission
said, when a need for such sched
ules arises or when such power be
comes available.
SALEM, June 10. (AP) Public
Utilities Commissioner N. G. Wallace
said he had no criticism of the
Bonneville power rates submitted by
Administrator J. D. Ross, and ap-
proposed today by the federal power

that they were too high, asserting
i nope they will be lowered," The

SEE WAGE VICTORY
WA8H INOTON, June 10. ( AP)
Southern senators claimed victory
today In their year-tong battle to
give Dixie lower minimum wages
than the Industrial north.
They expressed certainty a senate-
house committee would approve
broad exemptions from a 40-cent-an-hour
wage scale which the pending
legislation would establish after
seven years.
The committee had voted earlier
this week to exempt only Industries
in which such a minimum would
result In unemployment.
The southerners, after threatening
a senate filibuster, forced the com
mittee yesterday to reopen the ques-
tlon. They, wont living costs, pre
vailing wages and comparative
freight rates added to the causes for
exemptions. ..
