G. 0. P. NEEDS SOLID FRONT, STOKES SAYS

‘Young Turk’ Movement Will Fail, He Says, Unless Ranks Are Unified. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Tlmn Writer WASHINGTON, April 17.—A new "Young Turk" movement la being organized by Republicans in Congress in an attempt to pteam up issues against the New Deal. Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican National Committee is directing it from behind the scenes. At the moment the “Young Turk” group is concerning itself with relief and taxation. In each instance, its members are trying to offer a counter program. Left out of the movement thus far are the official Republican leaders of the Senate and House, Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon and Rep. Bertrand H. Snell of New York, both veterans of many years’ service. Vandenburg Is Prominent Prominent in the movement in the Benate are Senators Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, a Republican presidential possibility who was once a leader of a "Young Turk" movement in the Hoover Administration; Frederick Steiwer, Oregon colleague of Senator McNary; Warren R. Austin of Vermont, and Frederick H. White of Maine. Its outstanding leaders in the House are three New Yorkers, Reps. Robert L. Bacon and John Taber, who are situated strategically for the relief battle by membership on the Appropriations Committee, and Frank Crowther, who is trying to map out a counter tax program as a member of the Ways and Means Committee. They consult with Mr. Fletcher from time to time, and they are receiving ammunition from the new Republican “brain trust” of college professors who purportedly are making an “independent, non-par-tisan” study of New Deal measures and can not be considered in any way comparable to the New Deal “brain trust,” according to Mr. Fletcher. McNary Leahs Toward New Deal Senator McNary has been sympathetic with some New Deal objectives, too much so to please some of his colleagues who have tried to push him into a frontal assault on the New Deal. The Senator inclii es toward a moderate liberalism of the western variety and has frequently taken a position contrary to that of the party’s eastern wing. Mr. Snell’s leadership has not been entirely to the liking of some of the little band of Republicans in the House, but the rumblings of dissatisfaction have come from the western and more progressive members rather than from the eastern conservatives. Differences over procedure between Senator McNary and some of the easterners serve to stress anew (he divided caliber of the Republican Party, even six and a half months before election, which further is apparent in the fact that the two Republicans, Senators Norris of Nebraska and Johnson of California, are supoprting the Roosevelt regime, Senator La Follette of Wisconsin has set up a party of his own and is backing the President, while Senator Borah of Idaho continues to be a party in himself with a better New Deal voting record than some Democrats and constant irritating words about the G. O. P.

Solid Front Seems Impossible Not since March 4, 1933, have Republicans been able to unite on a single issue and it is apparent now that they will be unable to stand as a solid front on the two issues nowforemost. The proposed “Young Turk” counter program on relief is, first, to reduce ordinary government expenditures and, second, to turn the relief problem back to the states through Federal grants to the states instead of the strictly Federaldirected program now in effect. The counter tax program is still nebulous, but would include an increase of the present flat corporation tax, instead of the proposed repeal of this tax and substitution of a tax on undistributed stock dividends. 1 Regular Republcans are less well equipped, perhaps, for attack in Congress today than in years. They lack leaders with the skill and touch for dramatizing issues. They lack the “light artillery” necessary for rapier-like thrusts that command attention. If they can arouse some semblance of unity it will be an accomplishment. MARION LEGION POST OPPOSES OXNAM TALK Alumni Asked to Cancel Address of University President. By United Pretn MARION.
