The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-05
President Ready To Muade Primary Field
Precise Strategy Is Not Known as Yet-Poltical
 Observers Are Certain That They Know

ing renomination and the opportu- nity his journey will offer to re-state to the voters some of the issues upon which he and Congress have differed. Insofar as he undertakes to particularize issues for this cam paign MT. Roosevelt may again em- phasize to those who hear him:
 Issues in View
 His determination to raise again the issue of reorganization of the executive departments of govern ment which was voted down by the House in the session which ended last month.
 2. New Deal plans to deal with monopoly, monopolistic practices and high prices.
 3. The administration desire for regional planning legislation for bet ter use of land and water resources.
 4. And possibly his determination to raise the corporation surplus and capital gains tax questions again in an effort to restore the drastic pro- visions which Congress this year eliminated from the revenue act.
 Personal Plans
 MT. Roosevelt roughly sketched the outline of his personal plans for the 1888 campaign in a fireside chat last month in which he said he could not intervene in primary or election contests in his capacity as President of the United States, but felt free and duty-bound to take a position in some instances in his role as leader of the Democratic party. In that chat the President called on voters of all parties to support liberal candidates against conservatives who were tagged with new definition-copperheads.
 Colored By Politics
 His statement generally was inter preted to mean that the trip across the country would be heavily col ored by politics and possibly become notable as a part of what some ad verse critics of the administration term the purge" of conservative Democrats. The purge" so far has not amounted to much. Works Prog ress Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins undertook to oppose Sen. Guy M. Gillette, tD) Ia, for renomination. Gillette was among senators op- posing MT. Roosevelt's 1887 judiciary reorganization bill. But Iowa Demo- crats endorsed Gillette overwhelm- ingly.
 It had been expected that Sen Frederick Van Nuys, (DD Ind, who bolted the New Deal on judiciary reorganization and other measures, would be No. 2 on the purge list. But last night Gov. M. Clifford Townsend apparently ended his feud with Van Nuys by inviting the lat ter to become candidate for re- nomination at the state Democratic convention next week.
 Strife Threat Removed
 The invitation, 1t was believed, removed the threat of party strife in the Indiana organization which has existed ever since Townsend virtually read Van Nuys out of the ! StatehouSe organization at a rally at French Lick, Ind, early this year | Forgiveness of Van Nuys turns in- terest immediately to administrs- tion intentions towards Sens. Walter F. George, DD Ga; Ellison CD.J (Cotton Ed Smith DJ s. C.; and Willard E. Tydings, (DJ Md. All of them opposed judiciary reorganiza- tion but have offended far beyond that by their coolneSs to other New Deal legislation. Of the three Tydings is judged to be the most certain to have effective administra- tion opposition In his campaign for renomination.
