, WELRORD 10 LAUNCH ENDORSEMENT FIGHT IN RADIO ADDRESS Governor to Promise Clean Government and State Pensions System By B. E. ANDERSON (Associated Press Staff Writer) North Dakota politics, more or less when the coming fight for guberna- torial indorsement may be brought cut into the open in the Nonpartisan League. Acting Governor Walter Welford will probably fire the opening shot for gubernatorial indorsement in an ad- dress he is now preparing for release through the press and radio. ‘The address, to be delivered soon in a broadcast, is expected to contain a resume of his accomplishments while in office and his future program, if elected. The program, it was learned, will adhere to the principles of the Teague, and will be based on promises of “continuing clean government,” pensions for the aged, blind and crip- pled, “protection” for the farmers and laboring man, and aid to those need- ing relief. it Looms Factional Fight Although a three faction fight in the Nonpartisan League convention to convene March 3 at Bismarck has ‘been indicated by organization among supporters of former acting Governor Ole H, Olson and T. H. H. Thoresen, the fight may rest between the camps of Welford and former governor Wil- liam Langer. ‘With that forecast prevalent in political circles the balance of power may be held by the Olsen-Thoresen group. Olson recently indicated he would not change in his opposition to Langer and his lieutenants. Langer has remained silent as to his political plans but his supporters have ‘been working throughout the state in an attempt to control the Nonparti- san League convention. Precinct meet- ings of the league will be held Feb. 15 and county conventions Feb. 25. Clubs boosting Langer for guberna- torial indorsement are being formed. ‘William Crockett, speaker of the house and head of the “committee of the gallant sixty-two,” has been open- ly working against Welford and is friendly to Langer. Seeks ‘Recognition’ Langer is now in New York and also visited Washington to “confer” with Republican leaders. His trip is signif- icant in view of claims by Langer tenants he will be given “recogni- tion” by the Republican National committee. “Regular” Republican leaders, however, have bitterly opposed ‘any support of Langer by the national committee and may be successful in halting any such move. Except for the attempt of his sup- porters to control the league conven- tion, Langer may withhold any public announcement of his political wishes, some Welford supporters believe, wait- ing to be “drafted.” They claim Langer may await the convention and if his supporters should fail to carry the required strength his indorsement would not be pressed for any office, leaving him “undefeated” for a race for the sen- ate against Senator Gerald P. Nye two years from now. Some Langer supporters, however, say the faction leader will make clear his political plans before the conven- tion convenes, Welford administration leaders pre- dict some indorsements will be forth- coming soon from prominent Nonpar- tisan League leaders, including a num- ber of former staunch Langerites. Mulloy Lambasts Hopton No little comment has been arous- ed by open hostility between Harold Hopton, state insurance commission- er, long a friend of Langer’s, and James Mulloy, a lieutenant of Langer, and former secretary of the state in- dustrial commission, Mulloy has op- enly attacked Hopton since he was ousted by the latter from the insur- ‘ance department. Hopton declined to comment on reports that his ardor toward Langer has also cooled. Capitol reports also claim W. J. (Pat) Flannigan, former Langer en- thusiast, is preparing to throw his support as highway commissioner and a league leader, to the Welford camp and will soon come out openly for the Pembina county farmer. Flanni- gan has refused to comment on the report so far. Democrats have named their fi- nance committee in preparation for the campaign but have selected no date yet for the state convention which will be held prior to the nation- al party convention. It is possible an indorsement meeting may be held {nm conjunction with the party con- vention of which delegates will be named to the national session, a com- mitteeman and committeewoman se- lected.

NIGHTMARE} iWhat Will Happen to Billion Dollars Depends on Future Court Rulings Washington, Jan. 14—()—The tax tangle that confronted the govern- ment Tuesday amid AAA’s wreckage seemed like a lawyer’s nightmare. It all goes back to 1933, when con- gress enacted the AAA farm program and levied taxes on millers, packers and other “processors” to finance it. Roughly, @ billion dollars was col- lected. But last June processors be- gan to balk. They brought suits, chal- lenging AAA as invalid, and fighting the taxes. Impounded 200 Million ‘The lower courts impounded $200,- 000,000 the government had tried to collect from these processors, Other processors, making no fight, continued to pay. Their payments totaled $69,- 427,000 since last June. Last year congress passed a law. It said processors could not press suit to get their money back unless they showed they had not put the burden off onto consumers or farmers. The court did strike down AAA, & week ago Monday. Then it proceed- ed Monday to say that the impound- ed $200,000,000 would have to go back to the processors. But it has not pass- ed yet on the validity of the-amend- ment saying that, if processors hope to get back money already in the trea- sury, they must first prove they bore the burden, i Cannot Prove This i . | It is i many processors can- not prove this.

There is a very good reason why more of this talk does not come into, the open. This is a campaign year, and the political ramifications of the “constitutional” issue are many and devious. Political Dangers From the standpoint of practical | Politics, the rub about advocating an amendment does not lie in the stip- | ulation that three-quarters of the states are required to ratify a consti- | tutional change. | The immediate objective of the} Democrats is to win the election. For} that purpose, only a simple majority other words, if the party advocates an amendment, and such advocacy is approved by enough states to make | up a mere electoral majority, then the party can win. Should it win in that manner and on that issue, it could turn after- ward to the question of completing | redemption of its campaign pledge. | This may sound strange, but it is the way party politics works. There is another rub, however, which would be real and immediate | if the party declared for an amend- ment. Before any amendment can/ be submitted to the states, it must) be approved by a two-thirds major- ity in both senate and house. In view of the overwhelming Dem- ocratic control in congress, a test hardly could be escaped there in! advance of the campaign, and cer- tainly there is room to doubt wheth- er the necessary two-thirds major- ities would be forthcoming. There Hes the real trouble. Only Hints from F. D. R. It is entirely conceivable that this is not fully realized by some who are asking that the administration commit itself immediately to a con- stitutional amendment, f That Mr. Roosevelt himself real- izes it is indicated by the caution with which he is approaching the subject, Many hints of a predisposi- tion to constitutional charge can be read into his utterances, but there has been nothing resembling a di- rect declaration. ‘The question of congressional ap- proval is sufficiently large to merit caution and careful thought. What about a popular majority thereafter, in the campaign, if the congressional hurdle cin be overcome? That may depend on developments yet to come. Invalidation of NRA started certain groups, including notably organized labor, preparing for an amendment. -Certain other groups seem to be preparing to fall in line since AAA was invalidated. If still more “New Deal” policies fall similarly, there are those who be- eve the combined strength of the dissenters might be hard to defeat at the polls.
