SLIGHT EDGE IN RACE

WHOM IIB BEAT IN 11)30 S
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 The presi
dent would never take an elephant
(run to kill a donkey, or Issue an
elaborate public statement merely
to refute a Dies c 6mm It tee witness.
His eager defense of Governor Frank
Murphy of Michigan needs explana
tion.. The explanation la fairly simple.
To the president and his New Deal
era, the re-election of Prank Mur
phy in Michigan la Just as crucially
Important as the re-election of Her
bert Lehman In New York. Murphy
Is the only well-known public official
outside of Washington whom the
New Dealers accept as a 100 per
cent true believer. He Is on terms
of the closest Intimacy with most
of them, from the president down.
And his victory Is vital, because he
symbolizes the kind of Democratic
leadership for which the New Dealers
, fought In the purge.
Add that the New Dealers have
received pessimistic reports from
Michigan, where Murphy is given an
edge, but only a very slight ope,
and the reason Is clear for the ring
ing presidential Indorsement of Mur
phy. Under normal circumstances. Mur
phy would have an easy time with
his Republican opposition In spite
of Michigan's traditional Republican
ism. The Republican gubernatorial
nominee Is a bumbling old guards
man, Frank D. Fitzgerald, who has
already served an undistinguished
term as governor and was licked
by Murphy in 1936. Fitzgerald's chief
backer Is Frank McKay, an enter
prising politician of Polish extrac
tion, whose history would throw the
calmest good government league into
a fit of hysterics.
McKay and his ally, Edward Bar
nard, of Detroit, have ' marshalled
the broken-winded hacks of the
old-time Republican machine Into
a paunchy, cigar - smoking army,
which would never fight at all If the
commissariat were not so well sup
plied by Michigan's labor-hating
business. In fact, the Michigan Re
publicans have Ignored the exciting
examples of their- colleagues In New
York, Massachusetts and Ohio. They

PLAN TWO BILLION
OUTLAY AS AID IN
Dozen Big Companies Join
Hands With Government
to Supply Munition Cen
. ters Sufficient Power
WASHINGTON. Oct. 28. U?) A
dozen big utility companies. Joining
hands with the federal government
In Its national defense program, dis
closed today they would spend $2.
000.000.000 In the next two years to
expand the output of electric power.
This amount, said Floyd L. Car
lisle of the Consolidated Edison com
pany of New York, would virtually
double present such expenditures.
As the first step, the utilities an
nounced "definite commitments" for
enough factory orders to supply gen
erating equipment capable of produc
ing 1,000,000 kilowatts.
For Munition Centers
The commitments were given as a
part of the administration's efforts
to strengthen power facilities of the
nation's strategic war material man
ufacturing centers.
Announcement of the program
cflme from a session of the national
defense power committee headed by
Louis Johnson, assistant secretary of
war, which has been making a survey
of power needs since early this year.
Carlisle; acting as spokesman for
the group of utilities, executives
which met with the power commit
tee, said "substantial" government
financing was Involved, but would
not be In the form of grants.
The government, he said, would
"do nothing more then lend money
or buy securities, in the same man
ner as a bank."
Expect More
The utilities executives said the
new equipment for 1,000,000 kilowatts
of generating capacity represented
about one and one third - million
horsepower equivalent to the total
power produced by ftny two or three
The areas directly affected by the
projected construction are In part
those In which the production of
munitions and other war materials
would be In great demand In event
middle western or southwestern cit
ies. New York City's generating ca
pacity, they estimated. Is about 2.
900,000 horsepower.
Stressing the commitments were
"not the' final step" Johnson Indi
cated the administration hoped other
utilities would agree shortly to en
ter the expansion program.
