how much of it is engineered. But
there is definitely a coalescing party
force behind Barley.
THE Senate fight of last July. when
Barley defeated Pat Harrison for
floor leader, has advanced Barley as
possible reconciler of factional ami
mosities. The party bosses are worried.
They know that the sectional split and
the right and left division are by no
means just surface scratches. and how
to f1ux the conservative South in the
New Deal stew is keeping them awake
nights. A loyal Southern party man
who has New Deal and administration
support, they think might prove 10 be
the great amalgamater.
"A member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee told me he thought
Democratic presidential preferences
wouldn't shape up very definitely
until after the Republican midterm
conference-if they have 1t. Natu-
rally. they are keenly interested in
possible opposition issues and candi-
dates. and any one-man drift is apt
to be just an undertow until they know
which way the Republicans are head
ed. A few weeks ago an angry South
ern Congressman, incensed over the
wages and hours bill, told me Gar
ner could get the nomination II he
wanted it, but rather gloomily ad-
mitted that Barley might be a bet
ter man to pull the party together.
To repeat, there is an inner circle
movement for Barley. but it is too
early to make much out Of it."
Never a radical. Senator Barley
has strung along with the Neal Deal
less reluctantly than did the late
Senator Robinson, whom he replaced
as floor leader.
He fought the Smoot-Hawley tariff
bill and was an early advocate OF
the recognition of Soviet Russia. He
took the New Deal table d'hote as it
came.

to believe anything SO wild. Obviously

There were no top-heavy brokers

credit. Nevertheless, we have at this
moment situation in which stocks
in excellently organized companies are
selling for three times their annual

structure was really and baSically
unsound, action from private groups
and individuals repeatedly checked
the panic. Thus, Mr.. Rockefeller
jumped in and bought publicly, and
hugely, to check the fall. Again, the
banks, under the leadership of Mr..
Morgan, and with the cooperation OF
the Federal Reserve formed a pool Of

of renewing its efforts to increase the

Alaska Railroad Shows Passenger,
 Freight Increase
Harold Shell, Assistan n | Manager, Comments on
 Improvement on Trip

Freight and passenger travel on the Alaska Railroad has experience ed one of the best-if not the best years in the history of the trans portation as result of the combin- ed three-way stimulus of concerted advertising, better business condi- ticns and the rsaH1ation that trav- cling is a better investment than a savings account, Harold Shell, as sistant general manager of the rail- road told a reporter for The Elm pire.
 MT Shell, who spent several hours in Juneau Saturday night, while a passenger on the Mount Mckinley, is on bis first Alaskan visit this season. He will make his headquar- ters in Seward, using that point as a focal center for his inspection ex- cursions on the railroad line. He said he expected to remain in the 4fO4 tl4 kCl bWO OA llllC CC IlOEAbllS.
 While here, he will supervise construction work, amounting to approximately sl,0o0,O00, which in- cludes a new bridge, the new Unit ed States hotel at Mckinley Ma tional Park, and line changes to protect the railroad against snow and rock slides.
 Mir. Shell said he was particularly gratified by the response to the combined Alaskan advertising cam paign His office had received, by the time he left the States, to- tai of 1000 inquiries concerning Alaska. 1000 requests for infor- nation about farming possibilities, and had planned the itinerary and made reservations for 800 personsI going into the Interior.
