PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY TURNS " ON RELIEF ROW

Earle’s Connections With PWA Contractor Issue In Guffey Action.

By LYLE C. WILSON Copyright, 1932, by United Press) PITTSBURGH, Pa, May § (U.P). «Fach of the New Deal factions battling today for control of the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania‘s primary suspects that the other is operating a relief fund political mas chine, Senator Joseph FB. Guffey who bolted the organization ticket to support for Governor a lieutenant of chairman John IL. Lewis of the Committee for Industrial Organie sation, wants an expose of certain facts pertaining to the States handling of PWA expenditures. Ten days ago Senator Guffey ine troduced in the United States Sen | ate a resolution calling on PWA in | Washington to submit copies of any | Jetters from Pennsylvania officials | designating persons to act for the General State Authority in matters relating to use of PWA funds in construction projects here,

MeCloskey Loan Cited

That resolution was designed to tie-up with implications made here concerning a $26500 loan by Mate thew H. McCloskey Jr, Philadelphia contractor, to Democratic Governor Earle. Governor Farle says, merely, that he borrowed the money and has paid all but $6000 of it. He is chairman of the General State Authority. Senator Guffey and other supporters of Thomas Kennedy, United Mine Workers of America, secre tary-treasurer, for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, seek to connect the loan with the fact that Mr. MeCloskey obtained approximately $10,000,000 of the $65.000.000 General State Authority PWA contracts, although Governor Earle explained that the loan was made

before the State Authority existed. ||

But, regardless of PWA, Governor | Earle, as Democratic organization | candidate for the Senate, and his | running mate, Charles Alvin Jones, | candidate for Governor, scarcely can fail to benefit from Pennsylvania's direct relief expenditures. They pour out of the State Treasury at the rate of $1,000,000 a week. There also are 27,000 persons on

It will be the best primary battle in the nas tion this year.” Democrats and Republicans are combing the State for primary votes, the Republicans hopeful that the Democrats will knock thems selver out of the general election contest during the primary free for all. Mr. Jones, tall, moustached and affable, is having the time of his life at 51 years in a state-wide camepaign. He blew blew, is the word —into the William Penn Hotel grill recom for a snack between speeches and reported that things were looks ing good, although there are other indications that he has a tight race which is not yet won by a considerable margin. Under Jones’ arm was an atomizer for relief of a speech-wracked throat.

Earle Is Not Gay

Governor Earle was in his suite on the 16th floor, a modernistie lay« out of several rooms. Of all the Democratic contestants, he appears

now to have the easiest going but he is not gay. Between spoons of thick onion soup, in his private dine ing room, the Governor marveled at the perfidy of poll tical friends

and found comfort only in the fact that some of them were true blue. Why, he and Charley Margiotti, the Governor will tell you, were old buddies—used to go fishing together. And look at them now.

Governor Earle says that in three |

months’ operation his safety campaign has reduced fatal accidents hy 3§ per eent. fact that among the first to lose licenses were his own son, Herbert, and Charley Margiotti's chauffeur!

the State payroll in addition to thousands of seasonal laborers. That payroll runs close to $50,000,000 a year, The State organization, support. ing the Earle-Jones ticket, has those potential vote-getting resources, although whether and how they are used, of course, is a matter of partisan dispute. But Senator Guffey generally is conceded to have top position with the Federal work relief “payrollers,” as they are called in Pennsvivania. And the number of persons on that Federal relief roll is estimated now at close to 220,000, a tremendous block of voters.

Investigators Arrive

On the day this writer arrived in Pittsburgh two other Washington visitors came to town. They were investigators sent here by Federal Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins, They came in respose to complaints from the Earle-Jones | New Dealers that the Guffey New Dealers were politically coercing Federal relief pavrellers in behalf of the candidacy of Mr. Kennedy, and Mayor S. Davis Wilson of Phil- | adelphia, antiorganization New | Dealers, who seek Democratic nomination for Governor and United States Senator, respectively. The charge was that Senator Guffey was rounding up relief votes in the May 17 primary for the Kennedy-Wilson New Deal ticket sponsored by Lewis and the | CLO As one fascinated and nonpartisan observer of .the Pennsylvania scene put it: “The eggs are scrambled.
