The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-04

4NGCVAOA4 VI 1AAC WAAAUC 14Qu against the Administration.
 The CIO issued statement. charging that the Administration had completely ignored the pro- tection of labor's life and rights during the steel strike; follow ing which White House Marvin Mcintyre telephoned several senators asking them to answer the CIO and defend the Presi- dent. Mcintyre made 1t quite clear that he was speaking for the President.
 How many senators he talked to Is not known, but two of them, SchweIlenbach of Wash ingt0n and ,LaFOllette of Wis consin, turned him down. They are ardent supporters of the President, but they both have n high regard for John L. Lewis, and also feel that probably the CIO was right in it's charges against the New Deal.
 Finally Mcintyre found one senator, Minton of Indiana, who agreed to come to the Presidents rescue. Subsequently Minton made a mild defense of the ad- ministrations' policy.
 Kansas Politics
 Wheat is not the only product that is thriving in Kansas these days. Politics also has begun to boil over. Republican scouts re- port that despite Roosevelt's vic- tory in Landon's home state, the republican name has a lot of safe mileage left in 1t in Kansas, if not in. the nation. E
 Present development Is a move to groom Clyde M. Reed as the republican nominee to Oust Kansas lone democratic Sena- tor, George McGill.
 Ali Landon was Reeds canl- paign manager when Reed was elected governor in 1929, but the two quarreled later, and Clyde maintained a disrespectful neu- trality when Ali aspired to the presidency last year.
 Reed is of the same piece or goods as George Norris. He IS strong with the farmers and with organized labor and seems almost sure to get the republican non- nation.
 Because McGill has gone down the line for Roosevelt 100 per cent, the democratic saviours Of
 the Constitution are grooming Randolph Carpenter as his op- ponent. Carpenter was a demo. cratic co-gres5man who retired
 from the lists because of his dislike for the New Deal.
 With this possible spit in the democratic ranks. 1t is not at all unlikely that Kansas will return to the republican column, especial ly with the prospects of bumper wheat and corn crops. which sl- ways turn the farmers toward more conservativ ideas.
 Early Return
 Despite rumors that he had re- turned to Russia to face firing squad, authentic reports state that Alexander Antonovich Troyanov. sky, popular Soviet ambassador. will return to his Washington post early in September.
 Troyanovsky accompanied the first group of transpolsr flyers back to Moccow. Gossip that he would not return arose from the fact that Vlad' mir Romm. Soviet correspondent who was sent 10 Washington on Troyanovsliy'S recommendation. was implicated in the Trotsky conspiracy plot.
 The amba ssador has entered his sof, in Swarthmore college and has made all plans to bring him back in time for the opening of college in September.
 Senator Harrison
 In the old pre-New Deal days ct Coolidge and Hoover the man whom the republicans feared most was Pat Harrison of Mississipi When he rose to speak, his tongue dripped with acid and barbed hu- nor. Newspapermen ate 1t up. It made headlines-both in demo- cratic and republican newspapers.
 But up until hast week. not
 for five years had Pat made such q speech. He sat on the
 sideliney, mute and unhappy.
 His only utterances were In de.
 fense of bills which he was steering. and they were milk ana. water compared with his old tirades. Only those who really knew Pat realized how much he boiled over inwsrdly at some Of his forced votes in favor of the
 Administration! :.
 1t was not until last week that he let his real sentiments escape publicly. All the old vitriol was let loose in his attack against the wages and hours bill, plus the per- sonal pique over his defeat for the party leadership, and the knowledge that Roosevelt had con. trihuted to that defeat.
 Republican members Of the sem ate sat back smiling, hoping
