"lffifo PAGE THREE CIRCUS WORLD SURE 'BIG TOP' 8E Bad Season For Ringling Is Held To Be No Deterrent To 1939 Opening 17 Shows Still Operating NEW YORK (UP) It has been tough year on the nations $100,000. 000 circus Industry, but "the circus will come back It always does." That reassurance comes from Roger Uttleford of Billboard's circus de partment, a man who knows his tan bark and canvas. 'Rlngllng Brothers and Barnum & Bailey has folded for the season," he said, "but It's certain to be back next year. Circuses hare gone through bad times before, but the circus has al ways survived. In 1933 there were hardly any shows on the road. Next year there may be scores." But when Ringling Brothers, the "greatest show on earth," announced at Scranton, Pa., that It would cut short the regular 30-week season and move back to winter quarters, the entertainment world was shocked. It was the first Incident of Us kind, Involving a major "railroad show," In the 60 years since the circus had be come an established institution In America. Affects 1,600 Persons Millions of circus fans, not all of them children, were deprived of one of their favorite amusements, and 1,600 roustabouts and performers had their Income curtailed. Tears were hed. Two other shows Downey Brothers and the Tim McCoy Wild West show had closed during the season, but 17 still are operating despite general ly bad circus conditions. Of the 17. four are "railroad shows" Cole Brothers In Massachusetts. Robblna Brothers In eastern Canada and New England. Al O. Barnes and Sells-Ploto In the northwest and Ha-genback-Wallace In western Canada. Thirteen are smaller, motorized com panies. Ringling Brothers started' the sea son under new management with what was said to be Its greatest com bination of performers, roustabouts and animals In history. Newly "streamlined," It started out with, expectations of a great season.' John Klngllng North and his broth tr, Henry, had with the aid of an aunt, Mrs. Charles Ringling. acquired control of the circus In December. 1937. In so doing, the sons of Ida Ringling North, the late John Ring lings only sister, had brought the show back Into the family which had carried It to Its greatest heights. Trouble at opening; tabor trouble developed at the opening In Madison Square Garden, however, and flared again In Scran ton after the circus had run Into a streak of bad show weather. John Ringling North asked everyone, from executives to roustabouts, to take a 35 per cent cut in wages. The roust abouts and performers union, the American Federation of Actors, had obtained raises a year ago which lift ed the roustabout pay to 60 a month with food and transportation. The union refused to take the cut North said the closing did not mean the end of Ringling Brothers. He said the circus had a 250,000 stake In ' its treasury with which It would start again next year. The Ringling Brothers once were (even. Before the turn of the century they started on a small scale at Bar aboo. Wis., and built their circus un til, upon its consolidation with Bar num in 1918, It was indeed "the greatest show on earth," the ta; which the late Dexter Pellowes made synonvmoua with Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey everywhere.

In 1040 the Democratic party ought to nominate a middle-of-the-roader." The truth la that these men are already at work for a middle-of-the- roader's nomination. The organiza tion Democrats, from Jim Farley down to the precinct workers, are not going to let the president s mug wump Intimates capture their party without a struggle. And even Buch personal followers of the president as Henry Morgenthau would not weep to see the White House ad visers given their come-uppance. Thus the daring little White House raiding party Is going to have a hard time capturing and reshaping the Democratic party. Because ot the president's huge personal follow ing, they will probably be about 50 per cent successful In their war against Democratic heretics In the summer primaries. That will not be enough. They- will still have to face the 1940 convention with no real asset but the president. Great though his prestige may be. the president cannot Impose a small statured candidate on the conven tion. And there Is the final obstacle which he and his advisers must overcome. They have no candidate. Had Secretary of Agriculture Henrv A. Wallace played his cards more shrewdly, , he might have received the august Imprimatur, but his neu trality In the Iowa primary has earned him the furious enmity of the men around the president. Had Bob Jackson been put over in New York, he would, have served quite admirably. But as it Is, the 100 oer cent New Deal state governors are poor crea- turea at best. No member of the cabinet but the impossible Ickes meet the 100 per cent requirement. The suitable 100. per centers in con gress are obvious blatherskltea or otherwise unavailable. There Is not a first-ranking Democratic politician in the country who would suffer men of the type of the White House advisers In his entourage, and with out men of this type, the New Deal cannot be perpetuated. The puzzle can be simply stated. The president and his advisers have little chance to control the conven tion. They have no candidate. How then to perpetuate the New Deal? There Is one simple solution. If the president were to present him self to the convention, his party could hardly refuse him renomlna- tlon. To be sure, the president does not want to run again, but. when tne time comes, there will be no lack of voices to persuade him. P 11 KILLED 4 iJiun Clinlr Tnkes Koot.
