The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-10

MEny u6LnOcTdtS eApSCL LoHS and Murray to crash with specta- cular impact on the national dem- ocratic convention next year. Mur- ray already has announced his in- tention of representing Oklahoma on the platform committee. A presidential boom has been started for him. both governors probably will seek to address the conven- tion. They are direct action men and they speak shirtsleeve lan- guage.
 No others as spectacular as Murray and Long have appeared in republican preserves. But there are the Lafollette brothers-Sen- ator Robert M., and Governor Philip-young men with old heads and their fathers fight. The re- publicans also have Senator Smith Wildman (not a nickname) Brook hart, who has all of Alfalafa Bill Murray's instincts, without his flair. They have Clifford Pinchot. disciple of Roosevelt, rich and radical, who is going to the next republican convention with no idea of doing anything that will make President Hoover happy. And most feared of all, there is Sena- tor William E. Borah. He has been toughening up out in Idaho all summer. He will be back here in two or three weeks prepared to wage war on the administrations domestic policies through the con- vention.
 The Hoover group takes solace in the fact that never yet, not even in 1912, has Borah failed to go along with his party provided he was allowed to talk against 1t. But because of his Rooseveltion ;n- sainct for what the average man is thinging, the administration would rather have the whole democratic side of the senate let loose a barrage than to have Borah issue 200 word press statement.
 One possible addition to this group is Senator George W. No-- ris of Nebraska.
 In his fighting moods there is no more effective figure in the senate. than the man who unseated the late Speaker Cannon, but he is older and wearier now. At the progressive conference here last spring, he intimated he feels his work is largely done. Still there may be one more fight in this scared veteran.
 These are the figures who will inject the fireworks into 1882.
 Hoover In Bad.
 Washington, Sept 10-A widen ing rift appears today to be de- veloping between President Hoover and the Federal Farm Board.
 MT Hoover was viewed general ly as acting independently of the board in an effort to find some solution of the surplus wheat and cotton problems. From the welter of conflicting remedies there de- veloped today, under the presi- dents scrutiny, a program of. ex- banding markets and credits to absorb the depressing surpluses.
 This new program was being shaped by Chairman Eugene Meyer of the Federal Reserve board. While still tentative, it contem- plaes banking help to enable cotton growers to get through the period of low prices by selling cot ton on long term credits in the export field.
 The president has been concen- trating on the cotton situation since his return from Camp Rapi- dan Tuesday morning. Among his conferees were: W. G. Clayton, worlds largest export cotton brok- CT; Secretary of Treasury Mellon; Assistant Secretary of Treasury Mills; George R. James, member of the Federal Reserve board; Eu- gene Meyer, governor of the board; Senators Smith, dem., S. C., and Caraway, dem., Ark; and several representatives
 Meanwhile, the Farm Board, through Chairman James c. Stone, is indicating still further successes in it's long search for new wheat and cotton outlets. Stone said several new deals were pending, some of them actually under me- gotiation. He declined to say whether or not a sale of 100000 bushels of wheat to Germany was near but gave the impression that reticence on this subject was caused by a desire not to en- danger any possible proposals.
 In discussing finances, Stone said the board would not have to ask congress for mroe money at the next session. Opponents of the board have looked forward to a plea for further financing as an opportune time to press for its abolition.
