The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-05

Another story is that upon his brothers death, he wanted to re. turn to his banking firm, especial ly in view of the prospect of heavy corporation re-financing after elections this fall.
 Both stories probably are wide of the mark. Real explanation IS not at all mysterious.
 It 1s cheifly that Lehman is tired, never did want to run for governor in the first place, was never happy in the job, doesn't like to fight, and recently has been worn down by his recalcitrant legislature.
 Lehman never was a politician, doesn't want to be one.

 Representative Robert P. Rich is one of the most militant repub- lican sharpshooters in the House. But recently the gangling Pennsyl- vanian came Q cropper ct the hands of Representative Tilman B. Parks, Arkansas democrat.
 The House was considering the War Department appropriation bill. Rich demanded: "Who made out this budget?"
 PARKS: "The people who brought back prosperity"
 RICH: "Humph, # there is any prosperity would like to know just exactly where it is."
 PARKS: That's easy. Right in the gentleman's own nanu- featuring concern. On the letter. head of the gentleman's 0wl company appeared this state- ment: We have had the best year in many, many years'."

 The failure of Representative George Huddleston to win renom- ination in the recent Alabama pri- mary is considered @ significant indication of public sentiment toward the utilities.
 This is the first time in his 22 years of Congressional service that Huddleston failed to carry his dis- trict on the first ballot. This time he got approximately one-third of the vote, is practically certain to be licked in the run-off.
 Huddlest0n, Q bitter anti-New Deal democrat, was leader of the prO-power forces that fierce- ly opposed the Presidents hold ing company bill Last year. His reelection was, and is, strongly favored by utility interests.
 On the other hand the utiliteis are just as hotly after the scalps of three of Huddleston's cole leagues: Sam Rayburn of Texas; J. Driscoll of Pennsylvania and E. 0. Richer of Iowa.
 REASON: Rayburn is chairman of the Interstate Commerce Com- mittee which reported out the holding company measure, and was floor leader in the protracted fight that put 1t through the House. Richer was author of a report on the measure that scathingly de- nounced the power industry. 'Drls- coll put the senate lobby commit tee on the trail of the faked teIe- grams.
