BEHIND THE SCENES
I'M WASHINGTON
nv RODNEY BUTCHER.

If anyone still CllnGS 10 inc
u moth-caten myth that Mr..
Roosevelt was pushed into the
attempted purge" of Democratic
conservatives by left-wing adj
visers, and reluctantly at that, just
listen to this:
Within the week preceding and
the week following the Fourth of
July the President urged two
prominent men to seek nomina-
ton and election to the Senate on
the ground that he wanted to
build up the Democratic pro-
gressivc bloc in that body.
In neither case was his request
known-and at this writing it still
isn't-to the group of New Deal
ers, sometimes called the "elimi-
nation committee" who unofli-
cially are supervising Roosevelts
campaign to help seat liberals in
the place of conservatives. That's
the important point.
There may be similar instances
unknown to this writer One OF
the two men told Roosevelt he
had no chance to beat the in
cumbent Democratic senator fcr
the nomination. The Gther, al
though agreeing with Roosevelt,
that he could be nominated and
elected with administration sup
port, said the Senate would bore
him to tears. Roosevelt is still
pressuring both.

NEA Service StnfI Correspondent

Observation-Disclosures will be
three million heads of families
and single persons on the WPA
rolls by the end of July.
That is nearly twice as many as
a year ago. On July 81, 1887,
there were l,539,OOO y
Last year there was a drop Of
$4,000 WPA workers in the
month of July. when the policy
was to slash the rolls and to
ignore several hundred thousand
persons on relief who were eligi-
BILE applicants for WPA jobs. For
July, 1898, there will be an in
crease of $4,000 on straight WPA
relief rolls plus a portion Of a
group of more than 100000 WPA
workers expected to be employed
by a special congressional alloca-
ton of S60,0O0,O00 for projects
under other federal agencies. .
The. increase is unprecedented
for this time of year: In addition
to change in administration
policy, the new crop control pro-
gram and mechanization of farms
are partly credited by WPA Off
cials-speaking privately-for the
fact that fewer WPA workers can
find farm or other seasonal work.
The biggest July increases are
scheduled for the Great Lakes
subsequently, Illinois, Ohio,
and Michigan-and Missouri.
Average WPA monthly wage is
slightly below SOS. The total roll
is not likely to exceed 3,O50,OOO
unless business gets worse instead
of, as now anticipated, better.
Recovery effects are not reflected

cause those first hired by reviving
industry are persons who have

recently unemployed-plus those
who have been unable to get on

hall and asked that the council repeal the ordi-
nance egaizing Sunday movies. petition signed
by 5000 people presented to the council mem.
bers seeking the repeal of a law enacted last Au-
gust.
Throughout the state the battle RACES between
two groups the one wanting continental Sunday
with commerciallzed entertainment and the other
group camoring for a Sabbath given to rest and
worship. Here and there the open Sunday advo-
Gates have won. This was the in Henderson
Vile They won ground year ago and now after
years experience with Sunday movies, the Chris
tian people are cIamorng for return to the for
mer order.
This laxity and lack of restraint in the matter
of Sunday observance has gained its greatest head
way in cities beside the and in the mountains
where people gather vacation In order to give
guests the fullest latitude in having what they call
good time, these vacation centers are letting
down the bars-commercializing the holy day.
There seems to be a race on between vacation spots
to see which can offer the gaycst entertainment
and the least restraint
Laws don't always make people good. They
ought to be good out of their hearts desire. 1t is
quite alarming that so-called Christian people will
live and act the part at home, but forget all Of
their teachings when they get away from home on
vacation,
Some say the churches are failing in their mis-
sion of teaching Sabbath observance. The churches
arc not failing. The people who constitute the
churches are waverng and faltering by compro-
missing with the other group--Shelby Star.
