Disregard of Wheeler
Cost Roosevelt Plenty


Roosevelt paid a pretty high price
for this disregard OF Wheeler. They
think that II Wheeler had been pro-
vided fatted calf or two at the
patronage table, and his old enemy
had been ignored, Wheeler would
have been unwilling to make such
smashing attack on the Roosevelt
court packing bill, and the Repub-
licans could not have gleefully made
him leader of the fight.
So when Kremer walked I'D to
Wheeler and seemed to be trying to
bury the Ratchet, right under the
nose of the President-Who was the
guest of honor at this Alfalfa dinner
there was considerable buzzing.
'sKremer must think Wheeler has
a real chance" was a comment
made by dozens of the spectators,
many of whom had never figured
themselves that the Montana sena-
tor was in the running.
Remember how John l.. Lewis
dashed Wheeler during that court
fight? And now is inviting him
to speak to a union meetingl
1t isn't Lewis who Is causing the
Wheeler talk, however. 1t is dyed
in-the-wool Roosevelt men--men who
would give anything in reason to
have Roosevelt get third term.
The trouble is they don't know any
more about what Roosevelt is going
to do than Paul McNutt, and they
want to play safe. They do not
want McNutt. That is one point, on
which the left wingers are set. They
realize they can't get Robert II.
Jackson, whom they prefer to any
body, and they are beginning to
think that, if worst comes to worst,
and Roosevelt will not be drafted,
maybe Wheeler would be better than
somebody else that might be foisted
on them. And they want well
come at the White House if Wheeler
should happen TO make It'll
Little Chance for More
Appropriations for TVA
Prospects for more IVA appro-
priations, after this session of con-
gress ends, don't look any too bright
as a result of the closeness Of the
votes on various Would-be Gripping
amendments in the house OF repre-
sentatives this session.
The administration could muster
a majority Of only six-ll0 to lO4-
against an amendment which would
have cut the 40 million dollar IVA
appropriation in halt. And this when
there are 81 more Democrats than
Republicans In the housel Another
amendment, aimed at the same APP
preparation, but directed specifically
at the Coulter Shoals dam. was de-
feated by only liz to l09-a margin
OF three.
Then Representative Andrew j.
May, whose own interest in his coal
miner constituents has gradually
turned him into hater Of hydro
electric power, and who has, been
the spearhead Of the fight this SEES
sion as he was last, proposed that
