FARLEY BACK S
F. D. R. WAR ON
'REACT|ONAR|ES'
Young Democrats Told
NO Revenge Involved
By GEORGE DURNO

Q.N.SO President Roose velt
and Postmaster General Farley
we're biding their time today be-
fore taking a hand in the New
York State situation, where Gov
ernor Lehman has announced his
intention to run for the United
States Senate and Attorney Gen.
eral John j. Bennett, jr., has de-
clared for the Democratic guber-
material nomination.
Both as native New Yorkers and
Farley as national and New York
State Democratic chairman, will
express a preference as to who
should go on the ticket eventually.
The well informed say this word
probably will not come until just
before or during the State con-
vention in September.
Meanwhile, many political OBJ
servers were inclined to read into
one sentence of the Presidents
radio talk last night an implied
approval of Lehman's Senate can
didacy. In that sentence, Mr..
Roosevelt declared he most GER
tainly would not indicate a pref
erence in a State primary merely
because a candidate, otherwise
liberal in outlook, had conscien-
tiously differed with me on any
single ISSUE"
SPLIT OVER COURT
The only issue on which Lehman
ever differed with the President
was the unsuccessful effort to en-
large the Supreme Court. Before
that, the two had seen eye-to-eye,
and the President always referred
to the governor as my good right
arm"
Mr.. Roosevelt already has given
a distinct hint that Senator Robert
Wagner will run to succeed himself
rather than aspire to the governor
ship.
The big question mark hangs
over the governorship, as Wagner
and Lehman are considered win
ners.
Bennett comes from the Nc
Cooey camp in Brooklyn, which
the New Deal has opposed success
fully in the past.
Involved in the whole situation
is the vital matter of who shall
control New York's delegates to
the presidential convention in

COURT TREND CHANGED
SCHOOL PAY ROW
HEARING JULY Il.

BALTIMORE. June 25.-FIear-
tngs on the Cheltenham School
suit against the Maryland EN-
ployment Commission have been
set for July II by Superior Court
Judge Rowland K. Adams here.
The judge previously signed a
mandamus order directing State
Employment Commissioner Harry
C. Jones to show cause, by July l,
why he should not sign the pay
roll for the staff members Of the
colored reformatory.
Two weeks ago, a previous
mandamus suit filed in Prince
Georges county by the board Of
managers of the school was re.
jected in court on the grounds it
should have been filed in Balti
more. The board Immediately
filed a second suit in Baltimore
Superior Court.
The suit is the result Of Jones
refusal to pay salaries of IS en-
ployes whom he ordered the
board to dismiss as unfit for duty
at the time the State took the
Cheltenham School over into the
employment service. The board
of managers refused to make the
dismissalS. contending that the
act which made the school a
State institution had provided
that the employees were to be
taken into the State service with
out the necessity of a merit ex
animation.

PARTY FOES RAP
ROOSEVELT TALK

QN.S.) Democratic ranks were
split wide today by President
RooSevelt's radio announcement!
that he would campaign for elec'
ton of what he termed liberal
candidates.
New Dealers applauded the
Presidents decision to enter the
primaries campaigns. Old line
Democrats we're infuriated.
Senator Burke CD of Nebraska,
anti-New Dealer, made a caustic
statement to International News
Service.
"I was interested in hearing
the President say that he won
the so-called battle over the Su-
preme Court" said Burke. ''It
is true that some of the minor
matters suggested by the Presi-
den were carried out, but these
were mere sugar coating for the
bitter pill of packing the Su-
preme Court"
Senator McKellar Cd of Ten
nessee found "the Presidents
address highly entertaining and
instructive, as his speeches al
ways are"
Senator King, anti-New Deal
Democrat of Utah, said:
The President has a legal
right to interfere in party pri-
marieS but with the great pres
tige of his office and the vast
amount of power he has as well
as great amounts Of money to
spend it gives him an adVan-
tage over Others"
Senator Pepper Cd, Florida:
ut was a clear review of legis-
lation enacted and a straight
forward declaration of attitude
toward the political situation.
It is only natural that the
leader of the party should feel
that he ought to have the sup
port of men who believe as he
does and who believe in the
platform"

JOB PLACEMENT.
CAIN is NOTED

A IL per cent increase in Job
placements in the District from
April to May has been reported by
the Federal employment service.
A 6 per cent gain throughout the
nation was reported for the same
period.
Placements in the District in
May totaled 2,651, with 2,372 in
private employment. For the en-.
tire country placements totaled
238,654, with 159,234 in private
employment.
Applications, it was reported,
were rising to high figures for the
year with the national files con-
tanning 7,520,459 on May 81 and
the District file being 1882.

the far-reaching possibilities for
achieving this goal embodied in

certainly at this stage there
should be a united stand to resist

6uce purchasing power"
Then the President turned to
politics-and the current cam
paign. He disclaimed any partisan
purpose, and expressed the hope
that everyone would vote in the
primary elections, irrespective OF
party.
Generally speaking, he said, the
country is divided between two
schools of thought-along con
servative and liberal lines.
Roughly speaking" he said,
"the liberal school of thought
recognizes that new conditions
throughout the world call for
new remedies. We believe we
can solve our problems.

stead of fascism or communism.
We are opposed to the kind Of a
moratorium on reform which, in
effect, is reaction itself.
DEFINES LIBERALISM
''Be it clearly understood, how
ever, that when I use the word
liberal I mean the believer in
the progressive principles of
representative, democratic gov
ernment, and not the wild man
who, in effect, leans in the di-
rection of communism, for that
is just as dangerous as fascism."

OF one thing, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, he still is profoundly con-
that is in the basic
political liberalism of the Ameri-
can people. In making this OH
servation, he indicated his inten-
ton of hewing to the New Deal
line.
In a conciliatory tone, Mr..
Roosevelt said that during the
past year mistakes have been made
by capital, by labor and by the
government itself-"all three"
The lesson to be drawn from
these mistakes, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
is that capital and labor must
