Brain Trusters No Help

But the big thing you notice here is the number of boys and girls who once considered themselves above and aloof from party politics and who are now willing to forget they were going to be "pure government servants" and jump into politics up to the neck.
 That goes for quite few of the brain -trusters. However, insofar as any public activities go, they are more of 8 liability than an asset in any campaign. Many voters sus- pect them and few follow them.
 Several brain-trusters have stirred up bad" political situations by their refusals to play politics and their suspicious of politicians. There isn't much they can do now except keep quiet while the political op- orators try to repair the damage.
 A couple of brain-trusters in ad- ministrative jobs recently have tried to play pro-Roosevelt politics in certain states and only succeeded in making matters worse.

Politicians Get Busy

UAItICA0AtS uSt busy
 Many officials with political background are spending most or much of their time and thought on politics, making occasional trips back home and keeping in constant touch through correspondence.
 An increasing number of minor employees plan to join the Young Democrats and vote for the first time in their lives.
 The high command, meanwhile, will devote itself to practical" smoothings of factional party rows in various states which threaten the national ticket.
 Political groups which the New Deal-and especially it's "non-po- litical" cabinet members and ad- ministrators-were once unable to stomach will be treated more be- highly. Reconciliation with Tam many, for instance, seems fairly sure.
 It becomes increasingly uncertain whether Roosevelt can carry New York state next year without Tam many's aid. There are some states, however, where the administration has favored the "cleanest" political element with good political results.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington
 COrreSpOndent.)


 Washington, Nov. 15.--Much of the New Deals idealism, sincere enough in its time, is wearing 0f in the face of practical political re- alitieS.
 Anyone here can feel the federal machine bracing itself for the elec- tion campaign. Old-line civil ser- vice employees aren't so concerned, but those in the nergency agencies many of whom never cared 8 whoop about politics before -are beginning to take active interest as a result of fear for their jobs, for an administration they admire, or both.
 Federal employees will be asked, quietly enough, to dig down and contribute to campaign funds. With most wealthy men opposed to the New Deal, the Democratic party will have relatively few fiat cats'' this year.
 Someone must pay the bills. It's all right to talk about the work relief billions as a campaign fund.-" but you can't divert any of that money to operation of cam- paign machinery which will take several millions-and there's a heavy party deficit right now. How much coercion will be used to make jobholders kick in remains to be seen.

APPROVE PROPOSAL

LOS ANGELES, Dec. Il. UP
Metropolitan Water District Off
cials informally expressed hearty
approval today of plan for finan-
cial reorganization of the Colorado
river projects proposed by Con-
gresham Thomas Ford.
Fords plan for federal financ-
ing set-up for Boulder Dam area
similar TO that of the Tennessee
Valley authority has not been
placed before the districts board of
directors. Until this is done, they
cannot comment further, officials
said.
It was explained that Boulder
Dam and the Colorado aqueduct
plans were drawn and launched in
the pre-depression days and their
federal financing was still largely
on a pre- depression basis. The

for that reason We must prepare to
supply this demand
In proof of this statement. HeWeS
referred to a speech by Marshall
N. Dana. president of the National
Reclamation association, at Salt
Lake City.
Dana said.
The people of America must be
disSuaded from the mistaken i'm
preston that 10 irrigate western
land creates a food surplus by
greedy grabs from a political pork
barrel. Twelve million people in
the west are dependent upon irri-
cation as a method of agriculture
enforced by natural conditions, and
not only is it true that western
agriculture stops if reclamation
ends, but these people would be
compelled to move elsewhere were
irrigation discontinued.
Population increase
The statement that reclamation
is not proceeding at a rate dictated
by national policy is provable by
figures ana promised upon broad
necessity to enunciate such a pol
icy. The National Resources board
estimates that provision must be
made for a population increase Of
100000 to 100000 in the Unit
ed States during the neXt 25 years.
There are 3,000.000000 more per-
sens on farms than at the begin
ming of the depression. The farm
population is increasing at the rate
of about 100000 a year"
In the next 25 years it is shown
that 27,000,000 new acres must be
added to the harvested area to care
for national growth. But there
must also be retired some 25,000,000
acres of Improbable sub-marginal
land, for which replacement must
bep rovided, making a total as re-
be provided, making a total as re-
Board as 55,000000 acres"
