~ ACTION OF FRIENDS SEEN AS DRAWBACK TO ROOSEVELT AIMS Democratic Factional Differ- ences Are Worrying Party’s High Command By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press, Washington, D. C.) Administration political leaders, whose first job is to get Mr. Roosevelt renominated in June with the least possible friction, are finding plenty to think about. The most conspicuous of their dif- ficulties arises, of course, from the ac- tivities of the anti-Roosevelt Demo- crats. Expectations of a perfectly harmonious rendmination have about disappeared. A dispute of greater or lesser magnitude over the platform likewise has come to be regarded as inevitable. It is not the dissenters from the Roosevelt policies, however, who are receiving first attention in the pres- ent cogitations of the convention planners. They are faced with a less publicized, but possibly more hazard- ous éituation within their own ranks. In several states very troublesome tangles have arisen between rival factions which are all friendly to the president, but cannot agree among themselves. Usually these schisms go far back into local politics, but they head up nationally in quarrels over the selection of convention delegates and state management of the presi- dential campaign. ** * ‘Localizing the Conflict’ So far as the anti-Roosevelt move- ment is concerned, the effort of the administration leaders is, as they say in diplomacy, to “localize the con- flict.” Skirmishing at some points 1s ex-| pected, but the Roosevelt managers | are predicting that it will be confined to a very few states. They hope that in far more than enough states to! nominate, solid Roosevelt delegations will be chosen without a contest. In four or five places only has there appeared, thus far, any organized at- tempt to send anti-Roosevelt dele- gates to the Philadelphia convention. There is opposition elsewhere, of course, but adverse sentiment and ac- tual pre-convention organization work are two quite different things. In Massachusetts, former Governor Ely has announced he would work for an anti-Roosevelt delegation. Governor Talmadge is definitely seeking a similar delegation from Georgia. Less definite movements are un- der consideration in Wisconsin and one or two other states. In New York it appears that Al Smith and some of his associates will become dele- gates in opposition to a renomina- | tion. Such movements may appear later over a wider territory, notably in the east, but few anti-Roosevelt men predict that the total number of dele- gates against the president will be mote than a small minority. * # # Delicate Job for Fixers One way of keeping this total down is for the national Democratic or- ganization to promote harmony in the various state organizations. Every campaign year many an incipient insurgent has been mollified and quieted by recognition in the state campaign set-up, and a place on the delegation.

(Associated Presa Photo) New Zeppelin to Inaugurate Germany-to-America Airline Berlin, Feb. 26—(#)—The Hinden- burg, Dr. Hugo Eckener’s new air- liner, which is now approaching com- pletion at Friedrichshaven, ‘is sched- uled to leave for the United States May 6, according to an announcement issued by the Zeppelin works. This will be the first of a series of special trips to the United States scheduled between May and October, which will, in: effect, initiate the first \direct airline from Europe to the United States. The giant airship will leave the new airport at Frankfort-am-Main, which has just been completed as the continent’s central airship port, equipped with a huge airship hangac that dominates the entire landscape. The American end of the section wil! be Lakehurst, placed at the disposal of the Germans in the recent negotia- tions at Washington. According to the schedule the air- ship is supposed to complete round trip from Germany to America and back within one week. The west- ward flight is supposed to take ap- proximately three days, with one or two days allotted for the stay at Lake-. hurSt, and the return flight is sup- posed to be completed in two and one-half days. The fare for the first flight from 1,250 marks. All later flights will cost 1,000 marks flat.

Ickes, speaking before a Union League club luncheon, said Wednesday that a “confirmed. state of jitters” seems to possess For- mer President Herbert Hoover. “Some men tremble occasionally for the safety of our institutions, but he has developed a chronic ague about them,” said the cabinet member. “Three years ago, Mr. Hoover's re- train was that ‘prosperity was just around the corner.’ “Now he is just as.certain that ‘col- lapse is just around the corner.’” “The dukes and earls of big busi- ness,” which he identified as the American Liberty league, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., and the Du Ponts, famoys industrialists, shared Secretary Ickes’ fire, Mitchell Resigns as Publisher at Huron Huron, 8. D., Feb. 26.—(?)—Resig- nation of Charles H. J.

D., Feb. 26.—(P)—E. N. Wentworth, head of the livestock bu- reau of Armour & Co., declared pack- ers have a justifiable claim to return of the processing taxes as ordered by the U. 8. supreme court in an address before the Northwest Farm Managers association here Tuesday. Colonel Wentworth referred to the statement by Secretary Henry Wal- lace, that -the order to return $200,- 000,000 in taxes collected by proces- {sors was a “legalized steal.” “The packers were not in any way compensated for the loss of business and the added difficulties which they encountered as a result of the great reduction in hogs brought to slaugh- ter, as the farmer was when his out- put was reduced,” said Wentworth, A large number of the smaller packers were forced to the vergé of bank- ruptcy, many of them actually being forced out of business, Billion Dollars Is Worth of Wild Life Washington, Feb. 26—(#)—Estimat- ing the value of American wild life at more than a billion dollars, the bu- reau of biological survey and the for- est service said Wednesday more War Lord Grim | Wednesday. jtenced in markets throughout the E.S.

Twenty-four hours after he was released from the state penitenti- ary where he served a three-year sentence for conviction at Minot on a grand larceny charge, Ben Braden was arrested for alleged shoplifting in the Montgomery Ward. store. According to Allen, Braden is a man, known in the underworld jargon as a “hookey stiff,” who makes it a practice not to take property valued at more than $20, the maximum for the petty lar- ceny count. Bratien pleaded guilty, but Al- Jen, insisted of imposing the max- imum 30 day jail sentence, fined him $100 and costs. Braden, un- able to pay the fine, will be forced to serve out the fine at $2 a day, which will keep him under lock and key until late in April. He was committed to the coun- ty jail.

Inflation Bloc Passed In this effort the administration has one advantage.- Three-fourths of the states elect governors in 1936, Each rival candidate for governor hopes to be nominated and neither he nor his faction is anxious, in case he is nominated, to be openly at odds with the head of the national ticket. The natural inclination is to “go along” nationally. Nevertheless, serious differences persist. In California the Sinclair EPIC faction and the old McAdoo faction have been battling over the make-up of the delegation to Phila- delpbia, and in Ohio the friends and opponents of Governor Davey are in similar difficulties. There are less open complications in other states among factions all of whom favor a Roosevelt renomination. To have things as harmonious as possible after the convention, the ad- ministration political “fixers” have had to step in. It is probably their most delicate and dangerous duty. They are learning from bitter ex- perience the political aptness of the old adage, “I can take care of my enemies, but God save me from my friends.” Aerial Amputation of Snagged Worker Futile Lowell, Mass., Feb. 26. — (>) — A/ youthful surgeon’s skillful amputation | with a mechanic's hacksaw failed to| save the life of John McCoy, 47-year- old crane operator.
