The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-03-18

SSs~@N " AASAS~ VI - SANOASASA9 cluding the President. = w
 The decision pertained to a large group of are-croppers, evicted from cotton plantations and camping. out in tents and churches in Arkansas. Organized into the Southern Tenant Farm CTS Union, feeling has become bite ter between them and the 1and- owners, and there have been shootings and near riots.
 Appeals to relieve the tenseness of this situation have swamped the White House and the Labor and Agriculture Departments rec gently. Reports stated that the Tenant Farmers Union $. included both negroes and whites, who were largely disfranchised, had been warned by landowners 1. to move on into another state on penalty of violence.
 Finally the question came up at Cabinet meeting. Secretary of Labor Perkins proposed sending an arbitrator to Arkansas to smooth out differences between landlords and tenants. Other members of the cabinet agreed, including the President.
 But Vice President Garner objected.
 'It would ambarrass Joe Robinson" he said. We ought not to do anything without talk ing it up with him. He's up for reelection this fall, and that's a very delicate situation in Ar- kansas r, v
 So the Cabinet - including
 the President = yielded.
 Johnny and Franklin
 John and Franklin Roosevelt, two youngest sons of the Presi- dent, seldom go out together.
 When John, a Harvard sopho- more, knocks off from his studies for ail evening of relaxation, he always wears evening clothes. Franklin, Harvard junior, prefers lounge attire, usually a blue or gray suit, with conspicuous white breast-pocket handkerchief.
 John usually goes to the Towne club; Franklin to the Theatrical club. Franklin is known as the much better dancer. Borak vs Landori :;.
 Campaign advisers of Senator Borah have been urging him to turn his guns on Governor Ali Landon. t.; E. #gf Borah opens his fight for Ohio delegates this week, and his coyn- selors are telling him that now is then time for effective strafing of his Kansas opponent, who ducked a test of strength in the Buckeye State. -
 Landon's apparent strategy of avoiding contests with other
 candidates is hotly rssentel in
 the Borah camp. They charge
 him with drying to sneak up on
 the nominatoin."
 The elusiveness is not the only thing that Borah personally holds against Landon. He considers him the stalking horse for Wall Street." says that powerful busi- ness and financial groups are supporting Landon's candidacy. Two, Grudges
 Borah has crystalized two defin- ite conclusions regarding Landon:
 One, that Landon is his chief contender for the nomination; two, that Landon is as distaste- full to him as Hoover. .,
 Senate colleagues of Borah, who are in his confidence, say that if Landon is nominated the Ida hoal1 will not support him. In his long career, Borah has never bolted the 6. o. D. traces. When this is pointed out to his friends they reply significantly: But Borah never before has been an active presidential candidate"
 o So far Borah has avoided per-
 sonalities in his campaigning.
 Whether he will turn on Landon
 remains to be seen. ',1 Embarrassing Boast
 An old political hand like ex- Governor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania should have known better. 1''
 On his way to Washington re- gently he stepped out on the Pullman platform for @ smoke. There he found a brakeman and a young man who was a stranger to Pinchot. .I Pinchot was soon embroiled in a hot political argument with the brakeman, who was pro-New Deal. e.. ".. ..., L Severest Critic ,3u <
 Pinchot, who up to last year was Q Roosevelt acclaimer and fre- quent White House guest, is now severe critic of the administration. He insisted that the railroadman was all wrong in his support of the democratic regime.
 Look at the mismanagement
 and mistakes of the administra-
 tion," he argued. 'Tt's scan-
 6alous. Conditions are terrible
 and the people are bent on
 cleaning house. It will be dif- 5 ferent when the republicans are
 back in power. And we. are go-
 ing to help the good work along.
