PURGE SEEN AIMED AT
PARTY CONTROL IN 1940
NEW DEALERS FEAR
CONSERVATIVE NOMINEE
MANY SOUTHERN LEADERS
FAVOR McNUTT CANDIDACY
"
GARNER DICKERS;
DECIDES NOT TO RUN
WASHINGTON. Aug. 31. The beat
way to understand the purpose of the
president's party purge Is to take a
brief look at the sort of thing the
purge is Intended to avoid. The ob
ject of the purge is not control of
congress. With only the reorganiza
tion bill remaining 'on the agenda,
the White House cares comparatively
little about congrese In the next two
years. Control of the Democratic
party In 1940 is the great prize at
stake.
The president and his trusted lieu
tenants believe that they cannot per
petuate the new deal unless they tan
control the democracy two years
hence. They fear that, if . they lack
that vital control, a candidate will be
nominated who will do more harm to
the liberal cause than any Republi
can could. And It may be added that
recent events have begun to Justify
their fears.
The truth Is that outstanding men
In the conservative southern wing of
the democracy are casting a favorable
eye on the presidential candidacy of
the egregious Paul McNutt of Indi
ana, The nestor of the south. Jack
Garner, Is not known to have been
directly approached as yet.
But such senators as Pat Harrison
of Mississippi, deep In the somewhat
mysterious Garner counsels, have
been talked to by the McNutt bag
man, Prank McHale, and they have
met McHale's advances ' more than
hali-way. -
Some of the more sordid features
of the McNutt candidacy were noted
In this space many weeks ago. The
huge campaign fund, scrounged out
of the business men and state offi
cers of Indiana; the vulgar McNutt
debut party In Washington; the Mc
Nutt record of dictatorial opportun
ism these are matters which need
not be rehearsed again. But the rea
son why the Ironclad McNutt organi
sation consented to the renomlnatlon
of Senator Fred Van Nuys, after
swearing by ail the gods to have his
blood, does deserve an airing.
It has been wrongly stated that the
McNutt crowd, under McHale's dlrec
tlon, gave In to Van Nuys because
he was able to beat them in their
own state. This Is about a quarter
the truth. It has also been said thalt
they gave In to Van Nuys as a geaturo
toward the conservative Democrats,
for whose 1940 support McNutt hopes.
This Is also a quarter of the truth.
The other half, and much the impor
tant part of the truth Is. to put it
brutally, that Van Nuys sent word he
would start telling tales out of
school.
The methods of the Indiana gov
ernment under the McNutt organiza
tion have not been pretty. To have 1
them aired by a former member of
that organization. In a position to
name names, give dates and describe
Incidents, would not help the heads
of McNutt's men, and they surren
dered without a whimper.
The vice president is often thought
of as a candidate himself, and most
men less foxy than he would have
become a candidate long before this.
If they were so constantly persuaded
and urged as he is. But word comes
that, because of his' age, and his
sense of the president's probable re
action, he has abandoned his per
sonal ambitions.
Senator Bennett Champ Clark of
Missouri Is also frequently named as
a Garner candidate. He has certain
obvious suitabilities. He Is deeply
conservative. He Is tin organization
Democrat. He has a good vote get
ting record back home. He Is mem
ber of the senatorial inner circle,
which meet in the Garner "office of
education" to discuss the problems
of the day and the repeal of prohibi
tion He Is held In high personal
esteem by the vice president. But
word also comes that, because Clark
Just does not measure big enough as
presidential timber. Garner Is not too
hopeful of anything from him.
And so the Garner gang Is coquet
ting with Prank McHale and through
him with Paul McNutt. The chances
are that the overtures will come to
nothing, simply because Postmaster

COMMUNISTS- USE
FIRST LADY FOR
PUBLICITY, CLAIM
Former' Red Organizer
Given Bodyguard After
Startling Testimony
Inner Workings' Revealed
At Hearing.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. rTP) The
house committee on "un-American"
activities assigned a' bodyguard to
accompany Dr. J. B. Matthews, writ
er and educator, when he left the
committee room today after telling
how communists "exploited", the
names of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
and other prominent Americans.
The plainclothes guard was assign
ed after Matthews had reported re
ceiving threats by telephone of bodily
harm If he persisted in his testimony
regarding the purported inner work
ings of the communist party.
' Ho is scheduled to return to tlw
witness stand Monday with testimony
which committee members said woul-J
be even more startling than that nr.
unfolded today.
Hu charged the world youth con
gress now meeting at Vassar, wht:h
was addressed by Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt this week, was "nothing
more nor less than one of the 'united
front' maneuvers dedicated to tor
warding the aim of the foreign pol
icy of the Soviet Union."
At least 35 of the 50 American
delegates belonged to communis
front organizations, he said.
In response to direct questioning.
Matthews, who said he had mode five
trips to the Soviet Union i-lnce 1928,
said the communists exploited the
publicity value of such a speaker a
Mrs. Roosevelt, who could thus inno
cently be aiding the work of th;
party.
The witness said he Wis organizer
and first secretary of the American
league for peace and democracy, an
organization to which several gov
ernment officials belong.
Relating that he had been an ai
tlve participant In the organization
or work of about 30 organizations
which he said formed part of the
communist front. Matthews told the
committee many Intimate details of
his link with the communist party.
He said he did not belong to the
party but worked with It as a "fee
low traveler," that was the name giv
en communist sympathizers who, for
strategic reasons, did not carry party
cards, he testified. ' .
As a "fellow traveler," ne sold, ho
was Identified with the students con
gress against war, the American stu
dent union, the American youth con
gress, the unemployed council, var
ious groups to aid or free Tom Moon
ey, the International labor defense,
the federated press, and other orgon
lzatlons, The American youth congress Is
an excellent example of the methods
and purpose of the communist party's
united fronts." he said. "Among the
organizations which have been per
suaded to endorse the youth congress
and to participate in Its communist-
guided work we find numerous
groups of Christian youth people, J
such as the national council of Meth
odist youth and the Christian youti
conference of North America.
"Among the individuals sponsoring
the youth congress, as members of
Its so-called national advisory com
mittee, we find, in addition to the
usual left wingers who appear fre
quently on united front committees,
the name of Ralph S. Cushman,
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church, Harold G. Hoffman, former
governor of New Jersey nnd Henry
N. MncCracken. president of Vassar"'
"Ostensibly, these organizations
and Individuals arc associated with a
youth organization which Is dedi
cated to peace as one of Its major
goals. Actually they are being made
the Innocent dupes of a carefully
contrived communist maneuver. By
peace, as the communists understand
and work for It, is meant a breath
ing spell during which the world rev
olution of the proletariat may be
prepared."
Among others he named on the tn
vlsory committee list were Senator
Frazlcr of North Dakota, Jeremiah 1
Mahoney, president of the amateur
athletic union; William F. Quintan,
general secretary of the general boari
for Christian education of the Meth
odist Episcopal1 church, south: Wil

Emporia. Kas.: Gov. Elmer Benson of
Minnesota, and many teachers, pro
fessors, end others.

Senator Charles L. McNary.
McNary spoke before Oregon Re
publicans at a party picnic at his
farm home near here. '
"I'm not saying the president

that he wants unusual and stupen

McNary added that he had bteii
criticized for supporting the presi

he personally lUed .Mr. Roosevelt he
had found himrelf unable to support

The president of the American

with Mr. Roosevelt here, told re
porters: "We discussed possible change In
the (labor relations), law thorough

of making some changes In the law
to overcome the objections the A.F.U

talked with Mr. Roosevelt about? the
personnel of the board, and had
mentioned that the term of Donald
W. Smith will expire soon. Green
would not say however, whether he
had expressed specific opposition to
Smith.
"I rather complained. Green sa'd,
"against the administration of the
labor act by the boaid as a whole.
I did not express objections to one
specific person.
"The members of the board should
be more Judicial minded."

ATLANTA. Aug. 20. OPV-A letter
from Georgia's Republican national
committeeman urging the election
of Senator Walter F. George as a
means toward splitting the Demo
cratic national convention in 1940.
was disclosed tonight.
James W. Arnold of Athens, who
ran against George on the Republican
ticket in the 1932 general election.
confirmed he had written key Repub
licans that "the fate of this spilt
rests upon the shoulders of a few
men." ,
Most Important of these, the letter
said, are Senators George, Carter
Glass of Virginia, Pat Harrison of
Mississippi and McCarran of Nevada
"It is absolutely necessary In order
to save this country that there be
a split in. the national convention
of the Democratic party In 1040,'
the letter said, "because If the New
Dealers control that convention there
Is going to be plenty of hell turned
loose In this country,
"It therefore becomes of paramount;
Importance to the country as a whole
and especially to the life of our form
of government that Walter F. George
be re-elected to the ' senate from
Georgia,
"It la most Important that ever
Republican In. Georgia enter th-a
Democratic primary in September and
oast his or her vote for Senator
George. "
Arnold polled 18,151 votes on
Republican ticket in 1932 as against
234,490 for George. There has been
no Republican senatorial candidate
since and had been none for many
years previous.
"I have not spoken to Senator
George about this that I am writing,"
the letter said. .

If to this "staggering total" la
added federal loans through the Re
construction corporation, the Publlo
Works administration and other agen
cies, the committee said, "the Roose
velt expenditures and loans have
totaled at least $47,000,000,000 up to
March 4. 1938."
The committee made its analysis In
the "Republican Reporter," a publi-
cation.
Condemning "wasteful pump prim
ing," it satd:
This theory Imported from an-
economlst in England where it never
was accepted has proved a tragls
fallacy in light of the 1037-38 indices
of declining production ' and prices
and rising unemployment which have
practically taken us back to the
economic situation existing In 1038."
The Republicans replied to charges
that their last national administra
tion did nothing to combat depres
sion. "When the New Deal came Into
power in March, 1033," the report
said, "there were, contrary to the
charges that the Hoover erglme had
done nothing for the needy, 5.463,000
households embracing 21,470,000 pv
sons who were receiving public as
sist mice.". :;1
The report aald It was lm"poaslbe,
to administer relief from Washington
and not have politics Involved.
It pointed out that Republican
legislators have urgad legislation
prohibiting the use of federal funds
to influence voters and returning the
administration of relief to the "nor
mal local administration system."
