uuently been mentioned as one of
the closest men in the entire senate
to the President. Many senators SO
regard him, despite the fact that the
President favored Sen. Alben W.
Barley over Byrnes, and of course
also over Sen. Pat Harrison, as
Democratic leader of the senate.
Yet strongly pro-New Deal and
even more strongly pro-Roosevelt
Senator Byrnes threw every ounce
of influence he could bring to bear
to aid the denomination of Sen. Eli
son d. Smith, whom the President
wanted "purged" No one thinks
that the Kelly-Nash organization in
Chicago, or the Gov Henry Horner
machine in down-state Illinois, is GO
ing to be against the President from
now on, just because they ignored
his wishes in their own cat and dog
fight for control of the Democratic
organization in Illinois. No one
thinks that Sen. George l.. Radcliffe,
close personal friend and a business
associate of President Roosevelt be-
fore he entered politics, who man.
aged Willard E. Tydings' successful
fight for denomination, is going to be
lined up now with the opposition to
the President just because the Pres
ident fought what Radcliffe was try
ing to do in Maryland.
The big question now is whether
the President, goaded by his nom
politically minded inner circle, will
show his resentment against the
men who helped beat him in the pri-
maries, but are actually still for
him. The general opinion is that he
will do nothing of the sort.
Bureau Chiefs Breathe
Signs OF Relief Noio
Lots of important cogs in the adj
ministration were roofing under
their breaths for the senators Presi-
dent Roosevelt tried to retire to pri-
waite life. These bureau chiefs and
assistants are breathing signs of re-
lief now, and their relief has nothing
to do with whether Mr., Roosevelt
wants third term, or whether he
would still like to enlarge the Su-
preme court. What has been both
ering them is the reorganization bill.
1t will be recalled that the reor-
ganization bill, which virtually gave
the President blanket powers to shift
and change any government bu-
reaus and commissions he liked
passed the senate but was defeated
by narrow margin--four votes-in
the house. One government agency
took no chances. The army engi-
neers are old-timers at this sort of

WASHINGTON. - A recent poll
shows that, despite the victory OF
every one of the nine Democratic
senators who opposed President
Roosevelt on the Supreme court IS
sue in their denomination battles,
and the failure of such hundred per-
centers as William G. McAdoo in
California, James P. Pope in Idaho,
William H. Dieterich in Illinois, Her
bert E. Hitchcock in South Dakota,
and George L. Berry in Tennessee,
the Presidents personal strength
with the voters is still high. In fact
the sampling ballots taken indicate
that he has more than so per cent
of the total vote of the two major
parties.
The discouraging point about this,
to opponents of the President, IS
that more than a majority of the
major party voters favor the Presi-
dent as against an ideal opponenti
For example, had they been asked,
instead of if they still favor the
President, whether they favored him
against Herbert c. Hoover, GER
tain number of those who recorded
themselves against the President
would have switched to the Roose-
welt side. Probably very consid-
cradle number.
Or if the voters questioned in this
"sampling' poll had been asked if
they favored Roosevelt or Alfred NJ.
Landon undoubtedly many would
have moved over to the Presidents
side. Not the same group-as would
have moved had the choice been
Hoover-but a different group SIM
ilarly, the President would have
gained had any conceivable oppo-
nent been made the alternative.

Before he went in to pitch bat

bleachers. II love those kids.

outfield, waved toward his bud

and threw one, then the other. In
turn he received q tremendous ova
ton, not only from his "buddies, u
but the adult fans as well.
This morning when the Mats
pulled into the local union station
simultaneously with the Tigers,
Goslin literally stole the show
from the entire Tiger ball club
when 1000 welcomers, rising early
to welcome the Tigers home, sud
denly diverted their affection to
wards Goslin who was actually
as he made his way
through the station concourse.
Men, women and children
shouted themselves hoarse for
their Goose, for Detroit never had
q player quite like him. The
police department band, on hand
for the occasion, played "Auld
Lang Syne" in Goslin's honor.
It was a hastily arranged re.
ception for the Tigers. But as
things turned out, it was a timely
tribute for GoSlin.
His "buddies" won't be seeing
him much longer, this lovable
character who somehow captured
the public's fancy wherever he
went. But maybe the Goose
knows, too. When the band
played "Auld Lang syne," he
elbowed at Simmons in the ribs.
His eyes were flooding.
"Great, amt it2". Goslin said.
