UNLIKELY TO Get
in ND. BATTLE
Pro-LeWis Talk Might
Cause Party Breach
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt may not
carry his purge" into Maryland,
where Senator Millard Tydings is
battling against Representative
David j. Lewis pro-New Deal con-
testant for the Senate.
This became known today in
Washington following the return
Of several members Of the Presi-
dents transcontinental party.
Although the President is def
nitely hopeful for the nomina-
ton Of Lewis over Tydings, it may
be unnecessary for the President
to enter Maryland with speech
or even to give the Cumberland
Congress member one of those sly
but effective public "nudges"
which would mark Lewis definitely
as a White House white hope.
DANGER OF PARTY SPLITS
Reason for this apparently is
that the Presidents advisers do
not want him to make too many
enemies among the conservatives
by too many open and public
o. KS of New Dealers. The po-
litical advisers say that when the
President puts his approval on
one of several Democrats running
for the nomination anywhere, he
does as good a job Of party split
ting as anyone could do with a
broadaxe, a buzz saw, and a
butcher knife.
In the case of Maryland, the
White House advisers believe at
the moment Lewis has enough of
an advantage to win anyhow.
Maryland observers, on the other
hand, say that Lewis does not have
sure thing by any means.
MAY SPEAK IN GEORGIA
The President, it is learned to-
day, wants to get the last-minute
accurate dope" on the Demo
cratic situation in Maryland be-
fore he goes out on the end of a
limb for Lewis, who was not pickec
by the White House for this at
tempt to defeat Tydings, but who
volunteered to run and told the
White House after he had made
his decision.
President Roosevelt is expected
back in Washington about August
IL. He will land at a Southern
port and at some time is expected
to make a speech in Georgia,
Senator George Of Georgia, not
100 per cent pro-New Dealer in
his voting record, is being pushed
for denomination by a man named
Camp. What the President will
nave to say, If he speaks in
Georgia. will be listened to with

Bar Speaker Fears
Drift to Despotisn1
A. T. Vanderbilt
Warns u. S. on
Wrong Road

CLEVELAND, July Is QN.S)
While acknowledging that admin.
istrative tribunals are here to stay
and that they can be made to
serve a useful purpose, Arthur T.
Vanderbilt, president of the Ameri.
can Bar Association, nevertheless
reported to the annual convention
of the bar today a drift to
despotism, which "too few have
SenSed."
Everyone realizes that to
commit all executive, legislative
and judicial powers to one man
or one body of men would spell
despotism, but too few have
sensed the drift in that direc-
tion from an increasing number
of administrative bodies, work
ing together or under a common
leadership" he said.
OBJECTIONABLE TREND
Many of the controversies
these commissions decide tran
scend in Importance the work
of our traditional courts, yet
how lacking are many of these
administrative tribunals in the
characteristics and working con.
ditionS which the experience Of
centuries has shown to be in
diSpensable for judges"
Vanderbilt cited independence
from outside control, freedom
from political influence, security
in tenure of office, educational and
professional qualifications; a ira.
dition for public trials, with deci.
SionS based on opinions so all may
judge their validity, and a review
on both law and facts by an ap.
pellate tribunal.
I'm a period of transition, of
shifting standards, how are we
to prevent an abdication of the
legislature as a coordinate branch
of government to the executive
arm?
"The tendency in this direc-
tion," he reported, has been
progressing, particularly in the
national government, at an
alarming pace.
''If unabated, it is not impos-
sible to imagine the time when
the Chief Executive will be
primarily engaged in formulat-
ing legislative policy and the
legislature in attending to mat
terS of patronage"

available to attorneys, the Amer
ican Bar Association medal, was
