HIGH COMMAND IRKS VETERANS IN C. O.P,RANKS ‘Dog Food’ Charges Among Others Sad Blunders, Leaders Think. BY THOMAS L. STOKKB Time* Writer WASHINGTON, May B.—The American voter is being deluged with soma innovations in this election year, which promise a new high—or low—in campaign history. Asa matter of fact, some veteran Republican leaders are becoming alarmed at the activities of the Republican National Committee, In some of which they see (to put it mildly) an excess of enthusiasm over Judgment. Some have been so impolite as to use the words "Blunders” or "boners” in mentioning such incidents as these: 1. Chairman Henry P. Fletcher’s selection of 16 financial and Industrial leaders, including a member or two of the American Liberty League, to collect campaign funds. That Dog Food Episode 2. Appointment of a Republican brain trust, which Includes at least one professor who formerly was in the Roosevelt brain trust and others whose views conflict sharply with Republican political and economic philosophy. 3. Dispatch of a letter to Republican editors who had asked for campaign material, suggesting that they buy the syndicated columns of four Washington newspaper men with anti-New Deal slants. 4. Publication of a rotogravure "funny paper” which many Republicans did not And so funny. 5. Raising of the "dog food issue" by Senator L. J. Dickinson of lowa, an aspirant for the presidential nomination, who told the Senate that many Americans were living on a diet of canned dog food. Counter-Attack Provoked The last incident provoked a counter-attack by Senator James F. Byrne? (D., S. C.), who read to the Senate a press release by the Republican National Committee on the "dog food” issue, telling in graphic detail (in advance) how "the whitehaired” lowan made a "sensational speech" to the Senate and had cans of dog food on his desk. The cans of dog food were missing, but the lowa Senator advised his South Carolina colleague that he had them in his office where anybody could see them. Democratic mimeographs immediately began to turn out 50,000 copies of Senator Byrnes’ satirical speech on the “dog food issue.” The professors could hardly be blamed for the “canine canard," as it appears a little below their level. But they have been a continuous source of embarrassment to hardboiled conservative Republicans, as curious people have dug back into the previous writings of the professors. Getting Somewhat Nervous It developed, for instance, that three of them, Profs. R. S. Tucker, F. A. Bradford and N. W. Carpenter, had signed a protest in 1930 against the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill which the Republican Administration offered and subsequently enacted. The Republican tariff policy also was called "erroneous” by another of the Republican brain trust, Prof. Thomas Nixon Carver, in a book on economic problems which suggested numerous other cures for ♦he ills of the body economic, including restriction of marriages in the common labor class and elimination of defectives from the population. Republicans are getting nervous about what may be discovered next by the book-worms who are poring through other writings of the Republican brain trust.
