 Elimination" Ciuen First
 Setback m Ioua Campaign
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Skilled politicians matched their talents against the White House amateurs in the Iowa campaign and won one of the tipsiest political battles of the season.
 It is noised about in these parts that a cluster of political young sters led by 36-year-old Tommy Corcoran have put their noggins together to purge" the Senate, and perhaps the House, of members who have not been too joyous in support of the New Deal program.
 Notable among the so-called "eli- imitation committee" besides Cor coran are Harry Hopkins, WPA ad- ministrator; Joseph B. Keenan, as sistant attorney general; Ben Cohen, associate of Corcoran in White House advising, and Jimmy Roose- welt. Sometimes Secretary Ickes is included because he put his foot successfully in the Oregon primary, although he is hardly a political 'youngster."

IN FULL CRY

Yet of this cluster not one has whetted his horns in active battle for elective political office. Never theless they boldly entered the Iowa primary Hopkins and Jimmy Roose- welt expressed friendliness toward Rep. Otha Wearin as a candidate for the Senate. Wearin had boasted that he had supported and would support more New Deal legislation than anyone else in the primary Against him was Senator Gillette who, like Wearin, had floated into Congress in 1892 atop the Roosevelt wave. But he had taken time out to express his independence and to vote against the court bill
 Barely had Hopkins voiced his simple words of encouragement to Wearin than the professionals i'll Congress took after him. Probably if Hopkins could have met them blow for blow on the Senate floor he would have come off bit better because he is no Singer midget when it comes to exchanging verbs and adjectives.
 But he couldn't and by the time such an expert as Senator Wheeler of Montana had finished with him, , Hopkins was publicized the country round as one who had prostituted relief for politics.
 Only very recently Hopkins had sent circulars far and wide ad- vising WPA workers that they didn't have to listen to anybody when voting time came around. When he, at the top of the WPA organization, spoke a word in favor of candidate the expert politicians

No man can be certain of the inten-

The same rule applies to nations. The

of the peaceful intentions of other powers
In fact, in the light of recent events, it can
