Roosevelt Privately Talks Of Anti-New
 Deal Purge Before
 His Power Wanes

Washington, June 5.-The fight for control between Roosevelt and congress has now reached the point where the president speaks privately of a purge" of anti-New Dealers from the democratic party and where his chief opponents in the senate hope to humble him as Woodrow Wilson was humbled in the league of nations fight.
 There is cockiness and grimness on each side.
 The closer you get to the White
 House the more you get the im- pressi0n that the supreme court plan is far from being dead duck
 and that Roosevelt will press it as the issue on which he will stake
 the fight for domination of his party and congressional legisIa- tiOn. His bitterest opponents well come such news and many of his friends do not. Majority opinion in Washington holds that the court plan is licked.
 In essence the prime issue comes close to being a question of whether the people elected members of congress to do what Roosevelt tells them to do or to use their own judgment. An in- creasing number of members has begun to chant: Are we mice or are we men?" Ever since election Roosevelt has felt that his huge majority was a personal victory for him and his principles are ex- pressed in the Madison Square Garden speech, that the people who elected democratic senators and representatives expected them to vote for his measures, that the people continued to stand with him and that as long as he was their voice and instrument, indi- vidual senators could not stand against him.

Even House Resentful

Many representatives feel they have been treated more or less like peons by the administration. Few have any contact with the presi- dent. Most of them complain that patronage in their districts has been given to senators. The occasional congressman who gets sore and barges into the White House is likely to meet up with 15-minute presidential filibuster at the end of which Secretary Mcintyre comes in and says times up.
 Big city congressman. wanted public works money and many southern members had received promises of school houses and other small buildings from PWA. So when lobbyists for the con- tractors, the steel, lumber and building materials interests and the building trades unions came along, the house was ripe to rebel and rampage. Leaders would have had 8 harder time getting it back under control again if mayors hadn't wired angrily to members and persuaded many business men to do likewise by as- suring them that cuts in PWA funds meant boosts in local prop erty staxes.
 It's much too early to say that Roosevelt hasn't a problem in the house as we'll as in the senate. Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, Inc.)

 For you're lacking in vitamin G. Vitamins vitamins oh dear, oh dearI
 About these your grandparents never heard; Yet they struggled along just the same,
 For food values they had another word Now when considering the daily fare

 Have you all steamed up and hot It's cooked food of vitamns composed
 And also plenty of raw; daily nibble at celery stalk
 All come under the eating law Ladies that like lanky lines
 Have to be careful you see; An inch at the waist can come in trice

Party Loyalty" Test

Facing now what is mainly con- servatiye effort to reduce his power Roosevelt tells friends the court fight is good one in which to separate sheep from goats, that the demo- cratic party would be better off with out some of the senators who op- pose him and that he is ready to campaign against some of those sen- ators in the primaries next year.
 At this writing the president
 and his aides plan to force the
 issue by getting a vote on the
 court plan in both house and
 senate before the present session
 ends. They may change their
 minds, but they've been arguing whether to bring out on the house floor the original bill or measure
 modified so as to give the presi-
 dent five supreme court appoint
 ments instead of six. The courts final three decisions favoring
 power companies as against the
 New Deal were signal for re-
 newed administration propaganda
 against the conservative justices.
 Many old-timers believe Roose- velt's self-assrrance before and after launching the court bill with cut consulting any one in congress has been conspicuous in 8 program of tactical blunders. It's too early to tell.

Congressional Annoyance

But the presidents attitude is an- moving large section of congress. The senate has several men who want the president defeated because they are aspiring to succeed him, others who don't like the court plan and believe vote for it is political ly dangerous, some who harbor per- sonal grudges as a result of White House snubs, and others jealous of Roosevelt's prestige as com pared with their own lack of power. With these men Roose- velt's attitude that most of con- gress rode in on his coat-tails is not popular at all. They see F. D. R. as would-be dictator over the democratic party and its future and can think of no reason why they should cooperate. And on the sidelines are many
 who compare RO0sevelt'S self-as-
 Surance with that shown by Will
 son when he returned from
 Europe.
 Rebellion in the house can be somewhat discounted as possible menace to Roosevelt since leaders put out what looked like a dis astrous fire started in earmarking amendments to the relief bill. Causes of the trouble still remain, however.
