CAPITAL TOPIC i

Observers Think Another - Purge ‘Attempt May ~ Be Prelude.

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Some of | ~ President Roosevelt’s

friends and

some of his political enemies today| |

are convinced that he will seek a fourth term and bets—real money— are being made both ways. The facts are that Mr. Roosevelt

has two major political decisions to|

make before the 1944 election year is well started. The first is whether he will run again, and there are

_ persuasive arguments that he may,

and the second is whether he shall resume his 1938 effort to purge the

Democratic party of congressional]

conservatives, Mr. Roosevelt’s 1938 purge misfired in all but one contest. His influence defeated Rep. John J. O’Connor (D. N. Y.), a Tammany congressman. But the half dozen or so Democratic senatorial candidates Mr. Roosevelt or: his associates sought to beat in 1938 primaries all came through to re-election. That was five years ago and they are up again except for the late Alva B.

, Adams of Colorado.

Hangovers from the 1938 purge may figure considerably in development of any stop-Roosevelt ‘movement, Some of the men against whom the administration moved in 1938—perhaps all of them—could become a holding company for stopRoosevelt convention votes. And it is not unlikely that it may work out that way. Sortie Against VanNuys

In 1938 Mr. Roosevelt made direct and personal appeals for the primary defeat of Senator Walter F. George (D. Ga.), Senator Ellison D. Smith (D. 8. C.) and Senator Millard F. Tydings (D. Md.). The voters over-ruled him in each instance. Harry L. Hopkins tried to head off Senator Guy M. Gillette (D. Iowa) in their mutual home state. An

.administration inspired sortie was

made against Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) and there were rumblings of objection to Senator Bennett C. Clark (D. Mo.) and Senator McCarran (D. Nev.). The mere listing of those men and their more or less unhappy experiences in 1938 does not mean they will join the stop-Roosevelt movement if the president seeks a fourth term. But if any stopRoosevelt movement is to succeed all or most of them will have to join it along with most of the numerous company of other members of congress who are expressing displeasure with administration domestic policies. « The Washington Tinmes-Herald, for instance, reported last week that Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.), would bolt the party if Mr. Roosevelt were renominated.

Farley Tour a Factor?

Almost simultaneously the ‘newspaper PM, which is very friendly to the administration, ‘was reporting that many of the president’s close associates take it for grantes that he will run again unless both the war and peace are won by next convention time. The winning of both se soon, PM reported, is not considered likely. Some political writers have attached significance to the swing across the country just completed by James A. Farley, former post-master-general and former chairman of the Democratic national committee, who is judged to be the potential master mind of stopRoosevelt forces. Farley left the cabinet and the party chairmanship in protest against Mr. Roosevelt's third-term ambitions. ‘Farley was in town yesterday. the capitol he lunched with a of Democratic senators.

BROWN, FARM

‘No Surrender,” Says Head Of OPA; Congressman Replies.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U. P.) — Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown’s promise of “no surrender” to demands for higher wage rates and higher farm prices today collided with a congressional farm bloc charge that the recent 48-hour work week order would increase living costs far more than the demands for higher farm prices. Rep. Stephen Pace (D. Ga.), a spokesman for the house farm bloc and author of a bill that would include all farm labor costs in the computation of parity prices for farm products, said in an interview: “The president’s order affects wages paid for processing foods— and that’s a far greater part of the grocery bill than the share the farmer gets.” Is It Inflationary?

He referred to the longer work week order under which those covered by the wage-hours act receive overtime at the rate of time and one-half for ‘all hours over 40 each week. Economic Stabilization Director James F, Byrnes claims that overtime payments are not inflationary. “We are engaged in the. greatest war of all time,” Rep. Pace said, “and the president has made food a weapon of conquest. Does it not seem strange that we pay a man from $10 to $20 per day to make a gun, on the one hand—and then on the other refuse to pay a farmer the bare costs of raising an equally important bushel of wheat?” Mr. Brown, in a radio address last night, appealed’ to the nation not to add countless billions to the total cost of war by shattering the present relatively stable economy for the sake of a “fanciful and temporary gain. ” Cannot Be Compromised

He admitted that economic justice between various groups has not been achieved, but asserted that the United” States is much closer to it than any other nation on earth. “We must face squarely the assaults from those who would increase farm prices and those who would break down wage stabilization policy,” Mr. Brown said. “I do not think it is a contest which can be compromised. Fundamentally we must stand by stabilization as it now is: If we fail, price control is gone; wage control will be lost.” Public opinion samplings show that a great majority of the farmers are in full accord with price ceilings as they now are, Mr. Brown added: “Maintain them and there will be no sound justification for substantial changes in our wage stabilization. : “Break those (price) ceilings and America will suffer a tremendous defeat,” he said.

Churchill May Have to Quell| Demands for Beveridge Report Action. By HELEN Rf

LONDON, Peb. 17.—The government’s qualified acceptance of the Beveridge plan has created a storm in parliament and the press that it will probably take Prime Minister Churchill to dissipate. ;

. The debate opened yesterday with

an all-party motion approving the Beveridge scheme for social security. Sir John Anderson, lord president of the council, gave the cabinet’s provisional views. In many respects they went further than many had expected but they still fell far short of what the country and parliament wanted.

The result was a revolt within the Labor party and introduction of a motion hostile to the government.

Demand Action This Session

It may take Churchill 1f to quell the revolt and to prevent it from spreading to the other two parties as well. What parliament seemed to want most yesterday, after Sir John’s speech, was a definite promise that legislation would

-|be drafted at this session, Sir|”

John’s statement that it would be drawn up as soon. as possible left many members completely dissatisfled. To those with long experience in parliament, Sir John’s speech was regarded as one of the strongest commitments that the government has ever made on social reforms. To many listeners, it seems hedged with conditions, qualified with warnings and even, at times, evasive. Unquestionably, the government has committed itself to a comprehensive scheme of social insurance vaster than anything ever known here or in the United States, including children’s allowances, old age pensions, and a national medical scheme. It has also defied “vested interests” by stating that the approved insurance societies had outlived their usefulness.

May Raise Lunch Subsidies

On the other hand, the government proposes to cut down allowances to families for children as envisaged by Sir William Beveridge, although at the same time suggesting that they might increase subsidies for school lunches. The greatest departure explains the government’s refusal to adopt the pensions scheme proposed. Sir William proposed a sliding scale of pensions, to increase as state insurance funds become larger. The government proposes fixed contributions and fixed pensions but Sir John was not precise on what amounts the pensions might be. The fact that should not be overlooked is that the government's statement yesterday by Sir John was provisional and that it wishes to get the view of parliament. Thus, however may find the government offering much of what its critics want.

JOHN HOOK ESTATE EXCEEDS $350,000

At the death of Mrs. Hook, the will provides that three trust estates be formed for each of three children, August F. Hook, Ralph W. Hook and Mrs. Dorothy Hook Clift. August Hook was named executor.

He didn’t mention it, but Senator VanNuys defeated the veteran “Jim” Watson by 208,303 votes. Pointing out that Senator Watson was born in Randolph county, Senator VanNuys said: “Having heard a great voice and being possessed of a great vision and the bearer of a great message—

moved to Rushville, Ind. The sunbathed and blossom-scented hills and valleys of dear old Rush county appealed to both Watson and Willkie as more fertile political fields for their great message than Winchester, Ind, or Wall Street and the Bronx in the great City of New York, where nine-tenths of its citizens still believe that the United States of America is bounded on the west by the Allegheny mountains. “But I am digressing from my theme.

But women think it is. One of the worst fashion fallacies that corsetieres have ta deal with is the fact that so many women believe that having children ruins their figures. Too many women convince themselves that they have lost their figures permanently and that nothing can be done about it. As a matter of fact, having had a baby has little or nothing to do with continued bad figure lines—and much canbe done about it. All one woman has to do is look around her; see the women who have had children and notice how they have kept their slim young figures, to know that it can be done and quite easily, too. An expert corsetiere, skilled in fitting, has no trouble with this problem. But slie does have trouble geting the woman who has just had a baby in the Corset Department. And she has more trouble convincing the woman of the vital importance of keeping the foundation on constantly—from the time she gets up in the morning until she goes to bed at night. The reason she has so much trouble are threefold. First, some women are so relieved that the long ordeal is over they give little thought to their figure problems. Second, other women don’t realize the importance of having the proper foundation at this critical time.

Having Children and Keeping Your Figure Is No Problem
