WASHINGTON. Nov. Ia Much
Of the New Deals idealism. sin
cere enough in its time, is wearing
OF in the face of practical political
realities.
Anyone here car feel the federal
machine bracing itself for the cleo
ton campaign. Old : line civil SER
vice employees aren't so concerned,
but those in the emergency agen-
cies-many of whom never cared
a 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 fat cats"
this year.
Someone must pay the bills. It's
all right TO talk about the worA-
relief billions as a campaign
fund.- but you can't divert any OF
that money TO operation Of CAM
pa!gn 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.

Brain TruSters No Help


But the big thing you notice here
IS the number Of boys and girls
who once considered themselves

litics and who are now willing to

government servants and jump
INTO politics u TO the neck.
That goes for quite a few of the
brain-trusterS However, insofar
a. any public activities go. they
are more OF a liability than an as
set in any campaign. Many voters
suspect 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 except
keep quiet while the political oper-
ators try TO repair the damage.
A couple OF brain-trusters in adj

to play pro-Roosevelt politics in

Politicians Get Busy

Many officials with political back
ground are spending most or much
of their time and thought on poll
tics, 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 its "non-po-
litical" cabinet members and al
ministrators-were once unable TO
stomach will be treated more be-
nignly. Reconciliation with Tam
many, for instance, seems fairly
sure.
1t becomes increasingly uncer-
tain whether Roosevelt can carry
New York state next year without
Tammany's aid. There are some
states. however, where the admin
istration has favored the "cleanest"
political element with good politi-
cal results.

Since before the first OF the year
Maj. John B. Gordon. director of sani-

his force constantly, so that today
but 85 laborers are on the Sewer De-
partment payroll while 2l5 relief
workers are engaged on sewerage
projects. During the height OF the
construction season last Summer the
regular force numbered over 800 men.
The explanation lies in the made
ouacy of the last appropriation. AS
District funds near exhaustion the
availability of relief labor. paid by the
Federal Government has permitted
sewer work to continue.
Funds Soon Exhausted.
Last January / all of the sl25,000

officials were held to find ways and
means of continuing sewer construc-
ton In new real estate developments.
1t was felt that local efforts of the
Federal Housing Administration to en-
courage building would be largely
blocked II sewers could not be fur
,iebal for nnu residences
Several sources of revenue were con-
sidered, but legal restrictions stood in
the way. Finally it was found pos
sible to apply $4,000. which had been
appropriated for other sewerage pur-
poses but not earmarked to the build
ing of sewers.
This amount was far short Of that
necessary to meet the demand OF
Washingtons booming construction
industry. 1t was found possible. how

receives revenue through assessment

pay to the Relief Administration
fair proportion of the fund it receives
from property owners.
While these arrangements were
being worked out, five persons. un-
willing to wait longer to have sewers
laid. agreed TO the entire cost for

made in advance and the sewers were
installed. Maj. Gordon said no re-

trial had been continued.
Cooper, former president of the

understand why his trial had been
continued three or four times.
Il came here today anxious to go
to trial." he told the judge. and found
that the Pennsylvania Railroad. which
doesn't care about an early trial, was
on the calendar ahead of me. I sup
pose nothing can be done about it
now. but I ask the court at this time
to fix definite date for my hearing. ="
Justice Adkins then asked Cooper if
he had an attorney. and the former
banker said he was represented by

Justice Adkins asked.
"Yes, I've heard about that" Col.
