Congress Democrats
Who Fought New Deal
To GET Party Support
By the Associated Press

With White House approval
Democratic National Chairman Rob-
ert E. Hannegan has arranged to
provide financial and other party
assistance for many of the anti
administration Democrats In Con-
gress who are running for re-elec-
tion this year, including some who
were marked as intended victims
of the Inflated purge OF 1898.
Preaching that the Democrats
must patch up their differences anc
face the Republicans as a united
party, Mr.. Hannegan has taken up
where former Chairman Frank C
Walker left off in attempts to bring
back into the fold some of the Sen
ators and Representatives who have
been openly critical at times OF
President Roosevelt's policies.
This move, initiated by Mr.
Walker before he turned the chair
manship over to Mr. Hannegan, has
extended in some instances to SEN
ators who are not up for reelection
this year, such as Senator Wheeler
of Montana. Senator Wheeler, how
ever, reputedly has repulsed all over
lures, including broad hints that
some party leaders might find him
an acceptable vice presidential can
didate.
But more headway apparently has
been made with several others to
whom the olive branch has been ex-
tended. Senator Tydings of Mary
land, against whose denomination
Mr.. Roosevelt personally cam
paigned in 1888, is expected to re-
ceive national committee assistance
this year, with the Presidents
knowledge and approval.
Others repeatedly include Senators
Clark of Missouri, who faces a pri-
mary fight for denomination; Nc
Carran of Nevada. Clark of Idaho
and Gillette of Iowa, as we'll as q
number of House members. Sen
ator Gillette has said, however, that
he does not plan to seek reelection.
Although Mr.. Hannegan and Mr.
Walker are said to have attached no
strings to their offers of committee
support, most observers thought that
If this assistance were accepted the
natural thing would be to expect the
senatorial or congressional candi-
date involved to back the party's
presidential nominee.
Most politicians here think Presi-
dent Roosevelt can have a fourth
term nomination if he desires one
Whether that happens or not, the
party leaders know the Democrats
have fight ahead of them to carry
such States as Iowa, Missouri, Ne
vada, Idaho and Maryland.

GripshoIm Returning
Some Of 1917 Yanks
Who Stayed Behind
Ey the Associated Press.


LISBON, Mar. 6.-The Swedish
exchange liner Gripsholm headed
across the Atlantic today with I'll
North and South Americans bound
for home after long period of In
ternment in Germany and enemy
occupied countries.
Most of those aboard the ship
were deliriously happy as she started
her voyage at midnight last night,
but for some-who have lived in
Europe for many years and have
family ties on this side of the At
lantic-it was a sad occasion.
Among these were several dozen
American World War veterans, REM
nants of the 1917 AEF who had re-
NAMED In France, married, raised
families and were interned by the
Germans when the present war
broke out.
Torn From Families.
AS the train bringing these men
from internment camps in France
arrived at the dockside yesterday in
drizzling rain, some leaned from
the windows of the cars and
shouted:
I'VE don't want to go. The Ger
mans are driving us from France" :"
For them embarkation on the
Gripsholm meant being torn from
their wives and children and sent
thousands of miles overseas.
I'VE have been interned 26
months" said one middle-aged re-
patriate, who said he had served on
the Mexican border and then in the
AEF. "All that time we have not
seen our families" His voice broke
as he held out snapshot of his
wife and children.
Not one of these old AEF repatri-
ates, dressed in nondescript civilian
clothes, haggard and weary after
six-day journey in crowded train,
had good word to say for the in
ternment camp. One of their num-
Der was reported left behind because
he was accidentally shot in the leg
by a German guard.
Can't Stay in Portugal.
But those protesting departure
argued that even an internment
camp was somewhere within a days
journey of their wives and children,
leaving hope they could join them
quickly as soon as the war ended.
Some asked Portuguese customs
authorities If they could not remain
in Portugal so that they could be
nearer their families, but the Por-
tuguese police quickly squelched this
idea. They explained the Ameri-
cans must proceed to the United
States in accordance with the in
structions of their Government.
Each man was taken separately to
the ship by policeman and sep
arately checked out.
1t is possible that some of the un-
willing repatriates may find their
families among future groups of re-
patriates due in the United States
later. Another large group is sched-
uled to pass through here March %.
