Bitter Fight in Party Is Laid to President in Letter. RY DAVID LAWRENCEF. RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has probably =plit the Demqcratic party bevond repair. Out of the split may come a factional fight as bitter as that which broke the Republican party asunder. Then the realignment of parties long ex- pected can ma- terialize. For the mo- ment, however, the implications of what the Pres- fdent has just done in dictating to Congress that it must obey “The Master” is not 30 much po- litical as non-po- litical. Members of both the Presi- dent’s faction and the opposition within his own DPArty are saying that Mr. Roosevelt has committed a blunder of far-reach- ing proportions and that he has taken & leap into the dark. The letter to Senator Barkley is in many respects amazing. First, it is elumsily written, as if dashed off in anger or irritation, and lacks coher- ence or persuasiveness. It is in style | wholly unlike the smooth-flowing sentences of Mr. Roosevelt's carefully prepared radio addresses. Next, the letter is in just about as bad taste as a President of the United E States could possibly display. When he says that advantage is being taken of the mourning period by opposition Senators, it is tantamount to a declar- ation that he thinks when a group of Senators use bad taste, he is justified | in following their lead. The philosophy that two wrongs never make a right | is as vital today as it ever was. | Governor Spilled Beans. But what are the facts? Who really violated the spirit of the mourning | period occasioned by the death o(‘ Senator Robinson? Within a few hours after the news was flashed | throughout the Capitol, that the ma- Jority leader was dead, the Governor of | Indiana, Clifford Townsend, unset the | applecart. He came out of the White House and uttered a death sentence 10 the political career of Senator Van | Nuys of Indiana, Democrat, who has been opposing the President's bill to destroy the independence of the | Supreme Court. The Indiana Gover- nor told the correspondents that the | Democratic organization in his State | wouldn't renominate Mr. Van Nuys. This was like a declaration of war on Capitol Hill. Having been said on | the doorstep of the White House, the utterance was taken to mean that the White House had begun its campaign of revenge and that a candidate would | be entered in the Democratic primaries with White House support in order to defeat Mr. Van Nuvs. | There is only one answer to such & challenge and that is to fight. If| the Democrats in Indiana who be- lieve in constitutional government happen to be outnumbered at the | primaries next year by voters who eall themselves Democrats but who favor one-man government of lhe; fascist type, then the Republicans | of Indiana on the same day will be able to checkmate such tactics by | giving their party nomination to Mr. David Lawrenee.

There has been no official revelation of the seriousness of the news from abroad, but if the situation is as grave as indicated, the shock attack of the pacifists is more than a mere fluttering of wings in the dove-cote. 1t Congress decides to adjourn without & filibuster, the Department of the Interlor, which began st midnig] ht on July 15 to hold its breath, will inhale again—for, of course, its appropriation will be passed eventually. It haz no money to go on and wh en you consider the far-flung activities of the P. W.

One way the program is financed is this: Whenever some one writes m asking how he can help defeat the bill, the Senator's office which receives the letter suggests that money be contributed. The sum is used to purchase copies of the bill which a (Coprright, 1937, by the North American Newspaper Alliance.

There may be men in | Indiana ambitious for the Republican nomination for Senator, but with the eves of the Nation on the Hoosier Btate, it is doubtful if any man's am- | bition should be allowed to stand in | the way of & popular union of voters | against White House dictation to the people in their own party primaries. The principle of home rule and #elf government will be at stake. What may happen in the Indiana primaries mliso may happen elsewhere. The | President wants Senator Barkley to become majority leader. Senator Bvrnes of South Carolina, one of the fablest of the Senators, savs he doesn't want, the leadership “at this time” ‘which in itself is significant. It may mean that he thinks a leader's task n trying to reconcile the opposing factions is hopeless. Certainly the veteran Pat Harrison might help Mr. Roosevelt. out. of a hole, but he, too, & reported reluctant to undertake the Job. If Senator Harrison does become leader, he might possibly succeed in earrying on the truce which Senator Robinson managed with difficulty but nevertheless with some degree of ef- fectiveness. He had hoped to limit the cleavage in the party to the court fight alone, Sign of Weakness. But with Mr. Barkley chosen leader, &he battle will be on without quarter. The determination of the group who oppose the President's effort to control the Supreme Court is so great that they will gain converts if the fight S prolonged. Developments are coming rapidly. The President has been aware of the fact that his lines have been slipping and his letter to Mr. Barkley was a desperate effort to hold his forces in- dact during the mourning period. He found an excuse to issue the letter by ebarging that his opponents were vio- | Iating the mourning truce, but the | reason was regarded as so transparent on Capitol Hill as to be accepted as a sign of weakness. At the moment it looks as if a | #fesolution to adjourn Congress by Au- gust 1 would have the best chance of passage by both houses. ‘This would mean that the court bill would be Jaid aside. It would stay on the eal- endar until next January unless re- {arred back to committee fob further eansideration. There are more votes available in the Senate for an ad- Journment resolution than for a mo- tion to send the ocourt bill back to eommittee.

I Opportunities at Club Banquet. Bxpanding sctivities of the Federal Government are opening up new op- portunities for busineas and profes- sional women, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins told members of the Business and Professional Women's Club last night at their all States’ banquet at the Mayflower Hotel. Speaking before more than 450 members and guests, many of whom have achieved outstanding recogni- tion in the business and professional world, she cited the President’s re- organisation program as one which would open up new fields of en- deavor. Two hundred and fifty thou- sand positions, some of which are not now under merit principles, would be taken under civil service in a year, she said in praising the plan. Woman’s place in the Government service is an important one, she said. More than 162,000 women were work- ing in the executive branches of the Government at the beginning of this year, she stated, constituting not quite one-fifth of the total number employed. In Government service in the District, she pointed out, there are 47,000 women, as compared to 70,000 men. Cites Congressional Field. “Among the moet outstanding wom- en in Federal Government service are those who serve in Congress,” Secre- tary Perkins said. “The total num- ber of women who have served there include two Benators and 20 Represen- tatives. Six women—one Senator and five members of the lower House— are members of Congreas at present. “Now it is obvious that there is an opportunity for sn increased number of women in Congress, women who have a fiair for political activities, women who have the necessary quali- fications for the job of helping to pass the country's laws and have the courage and endurance to perform the duties required of them.” Women have steadily demonstraied their ability in Professiona| and sci- entific flelds, she added. Service Ideals Migh. “Trained women can make valu- able contributions if they are imbued with a desire to render real aervioe in Government positions. The bulk of women In Government work have high ideals as to the kind of service to be given. These ideals should be carefully nurtured and spread so as to attract always the right type of women 1o serve our Government,” the Secretary said. Other speakera on the program in- cluded Miss Nina Kinsella, Ppresident of the local club, and short remarks by honorary guests. Guests intro- duced last night were Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director of the Mint; Mrs. Marion Banister, Assistant Treasurer of the United States; Dr. Bess Goodykoonts, assistant director of education; Representative Virginia Jenckes; Miss Elisabeth Christman, secretary-treasurer of the Women's Natlonal Trade Union League; Miss Rose Greely, Dr. Kdith Cole, Miss Jo Coffin, sssistant public printer; Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, president of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia, and Miss Enid Perkins. REALTORS AREHIT | Forest Service Official Flays Real Estate Operators Who Denude Property. $4.500.000 in the Jast 12 years to set out new trees in various sections of the Nation, C. M. Granger, assistant chief of the Forest Service in charge of national forest adminisiration, said today to emphasize-.the incongruity of the action of private real estate operators in Washington in eutting down trees in the District. Granger made it clear that the Forest Service as such has no primary interest in trees connected with real estate developments, but he voiced his own personal interest and that of his bureau of the Department of Agriculture generally in the intelli- gent preservation of trees. “The Government has gone to great expense to aid people in treeless regions with trees,” said he. “At the seat of the Government, for heaven's sake, let's treat the trees as the important part of the land- scape that they are.” Trees must be dealt with realistical- v, Granger pointed out, for there must be sufficient air space around a home, and the trees must be prop- erly cared for and spaced. He has little patience, however, with real estate developers who ride in rough shod and cut down all the trees, leveling off the landscape bare as & table. He has observed that there is a great Improvemet in Washing- ton in recent years in the viewpoint among resl estate men, for now they point to the trees as tangible assets In purchasing property. Hitherto along Connecticut avenue and else- where real estate operators in former Years have gonie in ruthlessly and de- nuded the landscape, cutting down the natural features and leveling the ground, Granger recalled. Granger cited his own piace in nearby Maryland, where there is a natural growth of trees near. Owing to the trees, the driving atorms and high winds are tempered, he said, and living conditions are made much more Pleasant, both in Summer and Win- ter. Trees not only make a place more attractive but give greater,pro- tection from the elements, he declared.

And It Wil_l“Be_ _Worse President Held Ready to RY MARK SULLIVAN. Yes. it is as bad as it is pictured. Gen. Hugh Johnson's phrase for it, “unbelievable nightmare,” does not exaggerate. It is unbelievable but it exists. About & week ago Mra. Roosevelt, in the column she writes for newspapers, wrote: “When I said good-by to my hus- band last night, I suggested to him that he g spend what time he could on the Potomac River, at least at night, 3 His office is air- cooled, but he ob- serves that the difference be- tween the outer air and the air in his office is too great, for he believes firmly that though it may add to your comfort during the day, it is really better for you to have to endure th'; discomfort that nature brings you for the good of your soul.” It is not merely that Mr. Roosevelt suffers from the Washington heat, as all do; it is not merely that his judg- ment, whatever it be when at its best, is warped by the heat and strain; it is not merely that he tries to do more things than any man could possibly | do well even under the best of con- ditions, weather and otherwise. In | addition to all that, Mr. Roosévelt has that temperament which thinks that | strain and discomfort are good for the soul, which thinks that a thing done under strain is by that fact done | better than if it were done quietly and At ease. | Mr. Roosevelt's traits include one | which is atill less happy for the quiet, reasonable and unemotional conduct of public affairs. Even at his best, in the best of weather and under the best of conditions. Mr. Roosevelt has a | trait of habitual tension. Some months ago Mrs. Roosevelt, in an- other of her articles, wrote: Will Be Worse. “After the President and his party left Sunday’ evening, 1 suddenly real- ined I was very tired—I might as well have been doing a hard day's 'm'k'i It was all the result of a curious sense | of tension which follows the President about. The moment he goes the world around you let down just as though it suddenly said: ‘There iz nobody more to play up to. so let's be | our real selves for a while.'” That trait in Mr. Roosevelt. atrong | within himself, is stirred up and plaved upon by those around him whom Mr. Walter Lippmann ealls “the | little group of bold and reckless men who have been setting the pace for the President in the last few months.” Everybody must see that Mr. Roose- Mark Sultivan, | velt's letter demanding that Congress | pass his court measure and pass it at this session, was written in excite- ment. and anger. ‘That he should re- cede from his position ix now almost impossible. Tt is difficult as a mat- ter of politics and impossible for a deeper reason, the law of Mr. Roose- velt’s own nature, which he cannot escape.

Last vear during the campaign one of the President's closest friends. Mr. Joseph P. Kennedy, wrote s ecam- paign book entitied, “I'm for Roose- velt.” Mr. Kennedy replied to those who feared the President might en- croach upon the courts. The fesr during the campaign did not go so far 85 to suppose Mr. Roosevelt would do what he subsequently did. It was & fear of something much miider. Even so, Mr. Kennedy, close as he was to Mr. Roosevelt, did not sup- pose Mr. Roosevelt would do it. He wrote: “I know that many of these, ardently professing their latter-day faith in States’ rights and their meal for the Constitution, know full well that the President has no designs on that eminent tribunal which ‘inter- prets’ the supreme law of the Jand.” As Mr. Roosevelt, in his court meas- ure, took & step that some of his elos- est intimates a few months before could not anticipate, 30 will there be further steps that we do not now an- ticipate. ‘What io do about it? In proportion ax Mr. Roosevelt grows more excited. 80 should. the country grow more ealm —calm, but determined and active.

In the fight in the Senate the morale is all on their side. Looking at the scene in the Senate as & whole, ene gets an impression like this: That there wes a headlong stampede and that within the stampede a few men suddenly came to their senses. Aa these halted and acted in reason, the stampede emotion of the others began to evapo- Tate. Presently there began to be crystallisation around the eool-headed ones. It is not merely that the eountry ean rely on the Democrats oppased to the court measure with respect to their sanity and their characters; the country can rely on their coolness and sure-footedness. One reason for their superior morale—indeed for their posseasion of all the morale there is— ix that they are proud of what they are doing.

BY JAY FRANKLIN. HNE watimely death of George Gershwin, the modernistia Amer- iean somposer ef super-jase, raises an interesting question: What 4 the function of art in & democracy? Gershwin was & falented craftsman who performed s Luther Burkbank on jass and eisssical music, producing the famous ““Rhapsody in Blue.” “The American in Paris,” “Porgy and Bess,” as well as leaser eontributions to she Hvely art of marrying Tin Pan Alley to the symphony orchestra. Me worked for the musical shows and for Hollywood, as well 48 for fame, snd made an anoual income of about $100,060. The only parallel In sur musical history is Victor Merbert sod, like Merbert's, much of Gershwin's music has begun to go stale, where somehow or other the works of Bsch, Wag- ner, Brahms, Beethoven and Men- delsohn—none of whom ever earned a fortune—remain fresh and fear- Jess down the generations. At the same time when Gersh- win lay dying in Los Angeles, while eminent specialists hurried by plane from the East to operate on a fatal brain-tumor, & group of WPA artists sat idle in the New York Theater to which they had been ordered to report daily in order to draw their pay. 3 These artists had committed a serious erime—they had eomposed, staged and produced a satirioal musical show called, “The Cradle Will Rocl Those who saw the dress rehearsal say that it is a gay, fast-mov- ing. exciting show—one which subjects the social scene 1o radical eriticism and still retains & sense of humor and of proportion. “The Cradle Will Rock” discusses the background which pro- duces steel strikes, and was ready to open in June when at the last moment Harry L. Hopkin swas afraid lest its production might en- danger passage of the Federal relief bill in the Senate. He ordered the opening postponed until July 1, but the invitations were already out, the seats sold, commitments had been made, and o the cast produced the play anyway. though without eostumes, scenery or ap- pearances on the stage. The actors sat in among the audience and. at. the proper cue, rose and delivered their lines or sang their songs. Even o, the piay was moderately successful. Now it has been banned indefinitely, Apparently as & punishment to the poor actors for taking the drama more seriously than politics. * ko W Thus we find the “liberal” New Deal retief administrators not only ordering the waste of a considerable amount of public money but also acting as political censor over the production of a first-rate show. This seems eompletely cockeyed, though, knowing the ealibre of many of the peopie in Hopkins' organization, it is not in the least Surprising to discover stupidity amd wastefulness im the Federal theater project. N, * % x % The point is that it is not the actors’ fault. If shere must be censor- ship of W. P. A. plays, it should be applied before the show is ever put into rehearsal. The actor who finds himself in a good show on the sve of pro- duction i not to be biamed if he rebels against the shabby political expedi- ency and bureaucratic pettiness which dare withhold a finished play from the public, who is paying for it. How, then, are we to produce good art in our democracy? A George Gershwin has little option but to divert his remarkable talents to Hollywood's and Broadway's uitra-commercialized and socially meaningiess leg shows. The Gov- ernment bureau, which gives char- ity jobs to unemployed artists, recoils in horror the moment it is learned that a W. P. A. play packs & punch and combines musical comedy with social criticism. I can understand the fear of senatorisl criticism and of fractured budgets which makes the Hopkins outfit walk softly, but I eannot under- stand how they dare put themselves in a position of supercensorship over theatrical productions. Provided a play violates none of the usual ordi- nances against indecency, blasphemy, sedition, eic., it should be none of the W. P. A’s business what sort of plays are produced, if a competent technical staff regards them as good theatrical entertainment. Thase aocial workers presume too far when they order a group of artista to destroy A work of art because it might annoy a politician or offend the steel operators. The W. P.
