The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-27


 The Garner booster is Earle B. Mayfield, Jr., son of former Sena- tor Mayfield of Texas. He was amply supplied with funds, made it known that Richmond was only a way-station for .him on an ex- tensive tour of the country. He is attending every state convention of the Young Democratic Clubs to enlist Garner support.
 All of this is done with Garner approval. When Mayfield came to Washington recently, Garner staged private luncheon for him in the offices of the Secretary of the Senate, Colonel Halsey. McNUTT'S YOUNG MEN
 Even more gilded in the bank roll of the McNutt followers. They had the largest delegation at the Richmond convention, with more money than they could spend. Their objective was to get Young Democratic leaders to promise McNutt a place on the program 
 Pittsburgh August 10.
 They got what they wanted but could have had it with out the effort, for YD officials make a point of giving spot on the program to every presi- dential candidate.
 The McNutt delegation at Richmond made it plain that they are out to make big splurge in Pittsburgh. They intend to send a delegation of 2,000 Hoosiers on a series of special trains, to make the Smoky City rub its eyes at the approach of the Great Mo- Mutt.
 They boast 8 war chest of S1,- 500,00 for the McNutt candidacy, money allegeily raised by a 2 per cent payroll assessment on all state office e-holders in In- diana.
 NOTE-Young Democrats be- lieve that Jim Farley wants just one thing and he wants it bad second place on the Democratic ticket. If Jim can be nominated Vice President, he doesn't much care who the Number One man is Garner, Hull, McNutt, Barkley, Clark, Hopkins-but he prefers 69-year-old Hull.

 Congressman Frank Boykin of Mobile, Alabama, wears his mot to stamped inside his hat: Every thing is made for love-"
 But the other day a New York Negro with two white women was lobbying for the relief appropria- ton in the Capital corridors and strolled into the House restaurant on the side reserved for Members of Congress.
 The head waiter tried to show them out. But they protested that they had as much right there as anyone. Sitting at a nearby table, Boykin heard the dispute, took a penknife from his pocket, opened it and approached the Negro.
 What's all this fuss ab0ut?", said Boykin, toying with the penknife conspicuously. Don't you know you can't eat here?" 'I can't?" said the Negro; "why can't IF
 Because" said Boykin, turn ing the blade about in his hands, with your head in one room and your body in the other, you wouldn't be able to eat. Do you understand?"
 There was no more argument. WPA INVESTIGATOR
 As chief investigator of the Sen- ate Campaign Fund committee, H. Ralph Burton wrote most of the reports blasting the WPA for meddling in politics in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and other states. The other day Burton visited WPA headquarters in search of a job. This time he said:
 I've Iokoed over government agencies and there isn't one Id rather work for than WPA. You have the most efficient and square shooting organization in Washington"
 REORGANIZATION
 It was significant that several Senators who voted for Reorgan- ization last year turned around and voted against the President and for the Wheeler amendment this year. The Wheeler amend ment required congressional ap- proved for reshuffling of gov-
