COP Siraiegisis May Have inspired Junkel
 Tour of Coy. Brilker
By JACK sTINNETT ,

WASHINGTON. April 29. Al- though the speechmaking junket of Governor John w. Bricker of Ohio to Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Ala bama and Florida. on his quest for the Republican presidential nomin- ation may seem, at first glance, pretty much of waste of time. political observers here think diff ferently.
 All those States have a total of only 100 out of 1.O59 delegates to the COP convention and observers feel certain that Governor Bricker and his advisers are certainly astute enough as politicians to realize that they won't count for much when ballots start flying at Chicago.
 And four of the Southern States in which Bricker made his latest campaign bid are solidly Democratic and the other, Oklahoma, is pre- dominantly so.
 The question has been raised here. why then has Bricker chosen to waste valuable time and campaign funds making the rounds there?
 The answer, observers believe, is that the governor is just doing what may be a little valuable missionary work for the Republican Party--a lick that must be gotten in before the primaries since in all but few congressional districts in those five States, nomination in the primaries is taptamount to election.
 In other words, the Republicans see possibility of giving the New Deal good flogging in these States (and some others), not with Re- publicans, but with anti-New Deal Democrats.
 Reports are that Sen. Lister Hill, Democratic whip in the Senate, the man who nominated the President for the third term, and for the most part an arden New Deal supporter, is expected tough opposition from anti-administration opponents in Alabama.
 There's also talk that Sen. Claude Pepper. who has never swerved from the New Deal line, has a powerful opponent in Florida on an anti Roosevelt platform. w. Lee "Pappy' ODaniel of Texas won his ticket to the Senate by lambasting the New Deal. The same is true of Sen. E. H. Moore of Oklahoma, Democrat turned Republican
 What is true for the Senators must be true for good many of the House members. It's hard to tell from here just how fair an appraisal of the situa- tion this is, but do know that some administration political leaders aren't very happy about it.

 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON uk. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army0

wASHINGTON-P oliticos arc still arguing as to whether Wilkes Wisconsin defeat was a real mdl- cation of growing U. s. isolation. whether it was or not, another test is just around the corner which may be more significant.
 It will accur in the Florida pri- maries in May, and will involve the renomination of the foremost cham pion of intervention in the entire U. s. Senate-Claude Pepper.
 Pepper is running in a state normally not isolationist. And for that reason, politicos consider the test more significant than that in Wisconsin. For if Florida turns against the man who was out even ahead of President Roosevelt in advocating aid to Britain, then 1t will be considered a very definite sign of growing U. s. isolation. Furthermore, it will affect the A. lied attitude toward the United States. A#
 Most people outside Florida do not remember the way in which Pepper stood out alone in the en- tire Senate to demand aid for the Allies-even before France had fal- len. However, it is indelibly stamp ed on the minds of those who run the Foreign Offices in London and Moscow.
 At that time, May. 1940, before the world even dreamed France would fall, Pepper introduced a resolution authorizing the President to aid the Allies by supplying them with air equipment. Isolationist newspapers scoffed. He got abso- lutely no support from Senatorial colleagues.
 when the resolution came up in the Senate Foreign Relations Con- mittee, the vote was twelve opposed, one in favor. The one lone vote was Peppers.
 Yet, only few months later. the entire Congress approved the de- stroyer deal and, early the follow ing year, put its OK on lend-lease-
 Pepper at first, however, had got nowhere. After his first defeat on air equipment, he introduced sec ond resolution authorizing all aid to the Allies short of war. AL though getting no support from the Administration, he proceeded to make five speeches for this earliest of all lend-lease proposals.
