CLARK HELD OUTSTANDING
CONTENDER FOR !40
MISSOURIAN REGARDED AS
CONSERVATIVE OPPORTUNIST
GENIAL PERSONALITY,
POLITICAL WISDOM ASSETS
MANY DEMOS I.IKE HIM.
STILL TO WIN ROOSEVELT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. The in
quiring Dr. Gallup Bays Bennett
Champ Clark has not only joined
the first ten contenders for the
Democratic nomination In '40, but
has also Jumped Into fouith place.
The Gallup discovery was to be
anticipated. Other reputations have
slumped, while a thumping home
state majority of 300.000 has made
the Missouri senator an outstanding
potential candidate. The interesting
thing now Is to know what sort of
candidate he may be.
There has been a deal of talk,
one way and another, about Bennett
Clark's conservatism or lack of It.
Now that it's advisable for him to
stand well with the president, his
friends plead that his voting lccord
shows him favoring the New Deal's
substantial projects. In the arcana of
the White House, however, Clark
is atlll regarded as a thorough anti
New Dealer. The president and his
tlrcle use the death, cnteijot vela use
of the utilities holding company act,
the court bill and the reorganization
bill as the ultimate shibboleths.
Clark opoeed them ajl.
Actually, the truth lies just about
halfway between the two extremes.
The holding company act vote is
the only Item in the Clark record
which makes it hard for him to
argue that he has approved every
reform, while fighting every exten
sion of executive power, great grants
of power he has attacked from the
start, beginning with the economy
act. going on with the first AAA
and the NRA, and continuing down
to the present blank-check spending.
On the other hand, he supported
the banking act of 1933, the TV A
law. the securities and rxrhnnce acts
and the wage-hour and national
labor relations laws. His labor record
Is good. He has approved social wel
fare legislation. He has invariably
voted with the veterans. In fact, the
picture which emerges Is one of a
ahrewd conservative opportunist,
willing to compromise with the
octal forces of the time when neces
sary, but standing with the men of
the right whenever the Issue was
squarely drawn.
Unless the Democratic party re
pudiates Its present leader, the real
question In Clark's future la whether
the president will accept a con
servative opportunist aa his suc
cessor. There Is nothing wrong with op
portunist conservatism, ns such. In
ded, it la a very healthy phenome
non, for It permit needed social
change with a minimum of strain
and a minimum of damage to exist
ing vested Interests. With his excel
lent mind, his large Information and
h;s Jacksonian flavor, Clark is also
an unusually attractive specimen of
the type.
But that Is scarcely likely to In
fluence the White House. White

History of Human Race for
Centuries to Be Influ
enced by America's Ac
tion in Next -Few Years
By D. HAROLD OLIVER
CHAPEL HILL. N. C. Dec. 5.
(AP) President Roosevelt served no
tice on the south and the nation
at large today he would go forward
with a "liberal" program of govern
ment despite New Deal election re
verses. Addressing a University of North
Carolina student forum, he also de
clared what America docs or fails
to do in the next few years "has
a far gieater bearing and influence
on the history of the human race
for centuries to come than most of
us who are here today can ever con
ceive." Warning to Dictators
In an Implied warning to dictator
ships, he asserted the United States
was "not only the largest and most
powerful democracy in the whole
woild, but many other democracies
look to us for leadership that world
democracy may aurvive."
He reaffirmed his faith In the
political philosophy of liberalism by
saying: "You have read that as a
result of the balloting last November,
the liberal forces in the United
States are on their way to the
cemetery yet I ask you to remember
that liberal forces in the United
States have often been killed and
burled with the Inevitable result
that in short order they come to
life again with more strength than
they had before."
The president adopted as his theme
a contention by the late Supreme
Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo
"we live in a world of change,"
hence there can "be no constancy In
law."
Home Democracy Aim
"I am speaking not of the external
policies of the United States," Mr.
Roosevelt said. "They are exerted
on the side of peace and they are
exerted more strongly than ever be
fore toward the self-preservation of
democracies through the assurance
of peace.
"What I would emphasize la the
maintenance of successful democ
racy at home. Necessarily democratic
methods within a nation's life entail
change the kind of change through
local processes described by Mr. Jus
tice Cardozo the kind of change to
meet new social and economic needs
through recognized processes of gov
ernment. "Because we live in an era of ac
celeration, we can no longer trust
to the evolution of future decades
to meet these new problems. They
rise before us today and they must
be met today."

Board Has Supervision Over
Companies Selling Pro
ducts to Firms Engaged
in Interstate Commerce
WASHINGTON. Dec 6. (AP) The
supreme court ruled today the na
tional labor relations board has sup
ervision over a company operating
In only one state but which sells
Its products to other concerns en
gaged in interstate commerce.
This decision, applying specifically
to the Consolidated Edison company
of New York, Inc., gave broad power,
attorneys said, to the labor board
In administering the national labor
relations act.
The opinion, delivered by Chief
Justice Hughes, also held, however,
the labor board had exceeded Its au
thority In directing abrogntlon of
collective bargaining contracts bo
twren the company and the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers. n affiliate of the American
Federation of Labor.
Complaint By CIO
The board had acted In tho case
on a complaint by tho United Elec
trical and Radio Workers of Amer
ica, a CIO affiliate.
Tho latter contended Consolidated
Edison had picked the federation af-
filiate to represent the employes In
collective bargaining negotiations
without giving the employes an op
portunity to express' apreference.-
Justices Reed find "Black dlsngreed
with the conclusion the labor board
waa "without authority to require
the companies to desist from giving
effect to the contracts.'
Justices Butler and McReynaJds
contended the entire order by the
board "should be set aside" because
It "wea without Jurisdiction."
After delivery of the opinion
Charles Pahy, general counsel of the
labor board, told newsmen:
"A careful reading of the opinion
will, show that the question of the
contracts was decided on an extreme
ly narrow ground, was one of pro
cedure and does not affect tho
hoard's right to act on such con
tracts." This was the first reverse suffered
by the labor board In a long string
of cases decided by the supreme
court.
Tho tribunal postponed at least
until next Monday delivery of final
decisions on constitutionality of the
Tennessee Valley Authority act and
on the right of atatcs to ratify the
proposed constitutional amendment
to abolish child labor after once re
jecting It.

sel for Thomas J. Mooney to file a
