New Deal's left wing is split over receivership for Associated Gas... John L. Lewis' latest blow at Roosevelt shrewdly aimed. WASHINGTON .-Developments in Massachusetts and Ohio, following those in Illinois, remove what little doubt there was that Franklin D. Roosevelt can have a renomination by the Democratic national convention at Chicago if he wants it. Up until very recently there was always the possibility that he might be deBe 3 PN feated by a group John N. Garner of ‘‘allies."' Roosevelt's strength has lain chiefly in the fact that there weren't any ‘‘allies.'"' The only candidate who dared to come out with the idea of being in the race, whether Roosevelt wanted a third term or not was John Nance Garner. In the beginning there was a real hope that there would be half a dozen, each of whom would gather delegates here and there, until the total of all the "allied" delegates would be in excess of a majority. In short, a ‘"‘stop Roosevelt"? bloc would have been in operation. That has not materialized for very human reasons. Each of the other candidates, except Garner, has been guided by wishful thinking. This was that Roosevelt would not choose to run, and just might decide to choose ‘ne.' That has been the thinking of Sen. Burton K. Wheeler of Montana who goes about opposing the idea of a third term, but saying he is sure Roosevelt does not want it. He isn't sure of any such thing, never has been. Yet now he says he will not oppose Roosevelt in any primary. He doesn't want to split the ‘‘progressive' vote, for the nomination' of a conservative Democrat would throw the country into the hands of the Republicans! McNutt Has Handicap in Farley's Personal Animosity Paul V. McNutt was the first candidate to pick that particular line. But there was: more political sagacity in McNutt's course than there has been in Wheeler's. McNutt had a handicap which Wheeler did not have, and which had to be offset to give him a Chinaman's chance. This was the personal animosity of Jim Farley. When he first started on this "‘I am for Roosevelt if he wants it, but if he doesn't then I am after the nomination'"' strategy, McNutt did not know how bitterly the left wingers in the New Deal were against him. But even if he had known, there was no other course open to him. Obviously Farley plus Roosevelt could beat any candidate at the convention, and, not having Farley, McNutt had to have Roosevelt to be in the running. He seems to have failed, but not through any stupidity unless one goes back to his original alienation of Farley. Farley himself could have been a potent member of a ‘‘Stop Roosevelt'"" bloc. But the Massachusetts situation made that pretty nearly impossible. Due to a complicated situation inside the Bay state, Farley found it out of the questiorf to buck a _ pro-Roosevelt delegation. Especially as he could have the delegation on a platter providing Roosevelt didn't want it. It was a clear case of half a loaf being better than no bread, but it did not play in with the ‘Stop Roosevelt'? movement at all. But while Mr. Roosevelt can apparently have the nomination if he wants it, there is still little evidence that his approval for any other candidate is worth very much. It still appears that he must take it himself or see it go to somebody for whom he has no enthusiasm. Left Wing Split Over Associated Gas Receivership Outside the gas and electric industries, there perhaps is very little interest in who is receiver for the Associated Gas & Electric company, but in the fight which developed inside the New Deal on that question there is enormous political and economic interest. In the first place, there is one of the most spectacular divisions inside the left wingers which has occurred since the New Deal came into power seven years ago. It is far more important than the one which resulted in Ray Moley's being exiled. Moley was almost alone in that affair, and besides, it was generally accepted that his exit resulted because Cordell Hull demanaed it, on issues which had little to do with main New Deal objectives. But this time we have Jerome N. Frank, chairman of the Securities and Exchange commission, Leon Henderson, another member of the TIMES-INL NDEPENDENT, AUT yy Eee es commission, aoe Wal men two who as the extreme regarded been ve a have left New Deal, end of the left wing of the H.

The amazing thing about all this to Washington observers is that Corashad always and Cohen coran sumed they had the SEC in their pockets-especially after William O. Douglas, who had proved a bit untrustworthy from their standpoint, had been replaced by Jerome Frank, whom they regarded as a tried and true radical. Just why Jackson, Cohen, Corcoran and Norris were so anxious to have the SEC take over the receivership of Associated Gas seems very clear to anti-public ownership men. Lewis' Latest Blow at Roosevelt Shrewdly Aimed The struck blow that John L. Lewis at President Roosevelt in his speech before the American Youth Congress was much nore shrewdly aimed than the : more outspoken attack before the United Mine Workers' gathering at Columbus. Not the attack direct by Lewis in his Youth Congress speech, but the sensationai John L. Lewis labor peace offer, plus his own proposal to step down from any union labor office once peace was effected. Ever since the Columbus speech the whole New Deal, from the President himself down, has been seeking to undermine Lewis. Just look at the history of the whole thing for a moment. Lewis has probably been one of the most aggressive labor leaders in the United States for a good many years. But he never bothered enough to placate and cajole, when it came to dealing with some of his seniors in the American Federation of Labor hierarchy. Also, they resented his appeal to the rank and file-we are now thinking of the period a few years back before the formation of the: Ci. 1. 0. So when the late Sam Gompers, undisputed czar of the A. F. of L., which virtually meant the union labor movement in America, was gathered to his fathers it was not Lewis who was chosen to succeed him. The elder statesmen of the Federation distrusted as well as disliked him, while recognizing his ability. So they chose William Green, a man who would take counsel with the old-line leaders and could be counted on not to go off half-cocked. Lewis Became Rebellious And This Led to the C. 1. O. This naturally led to such a conservative administration of what was then the labor movement that rebellion was seething everywhere. Most rebellious of all was Lewis, not so much because of the conservatism of the new leadership as because he was not as important a part of that directing authority as he knew he ought to be. Hence the C. I. O. There has been much talk of Communism in the C. I. O. The talk is true. Lewis is not a Communist. Far from it. At heart he is as conservative as Calvin Coolidge ever was, so far as maintaining the profit system and being against anything socialistic is concerned. Except, of course, as to his views on hours and wages. But the Communists, with their usual sabotaging intentions, saw a chance to raise cain through the labor troubles which the C. I. O. promised-especially in the jurisdictional disputes, which would harry the capitalists and tend to wreck the capitalistic system regardless of how those particular capitalists might be willing to deal with labor. And for the time being Lewis was not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. All of which tends to show how vulnerable Lewis is to the suggestion that it is his personal ambition which is the cause of most of the trouble. {Bell Syndicate-WNU Service.)

ASHINGTON.-On March 15, if the civil perauthority aeronautics mits, a new air service will be inaugurated between New York and Rome under sponsorship of American Export airlines. Competing with Pan-American clippers which went into service last spring, the new airline will be but the precursor to an even faster service which American Export lines will start early in 1941. Patterned After Navy Plane. For the time being it is planned to carry only mail and express in a two-motor Consolidated flying boat which will run from New York to the Azores, to Lisbon and thence to Rome. But the new airships now being built by Vought-Sikorsky are expected to usher in a new era of trans-oceanic aviation. flying nonstop from New York to Rome. These giant ships are called "dreadnaughts,"' for they are nothing less than a coramercial version of the American navy's newest longrange flying dreadnaught. The ships will have no trouble carrying a full pay load 4,600 miles non-stop, flying at a maximum rate of 230 miles an hour, and at a cruising speed of 175 miles. Slightly smaller than the PanAmerican clippers, which carry 21 passengers, the Vought-Sikorsky ships will accommodate 16 paying guests plus a crew of 11 and a substantial load of mail and express. They will provide every modern improvement with palatial sleeping accommodations, an __ attractive lounge and separate dressing rooms for men and women. American Export lines believe the non-stop schedule embodies many advantages, providing greater reliability of service and eliminating the hazards of landing in unprotected harbors.

Three separate tanks concealed in the wings will carry 3,900 gallons of fuel, making the non-stop flight across the Atlantic entirely feasible. The ship will be powered with four engines producing 1,200 horsepower each.

People reduced to one-fifth their normal size are the main characters in ‘‘Dr. Cyclops," an exciting film which takes place in a scientist's jungle camp at the headwaters of the Amazon. It is Schoedsack's major cinema since he excited the world several years ago with ‘‘King Kong,"' the giant ape. Aided by a newly developed color process which gives special impact to the shadowy but colorful jungle, the movie tells the story of a malevolent scientist and five people who had come to help him but were repaid by being dwarfed to less than one-fifth their original size, Process Is a Secret. How Schoedsack accomplishes this feat is a secret he has attempted to keep within a small circle of trusted assistants. For four months, during production of the picture, not a soul was allowed inside the sets unless directly connected with the film. Thus the ‘Dr. Cyclops'? charac- Platina, New Fox Fur, Resulted From Freak A freak fox born on a farm in Norway in 1933 has given the industry something new to think about and a new kind of fur to sell.

Chickens, cats and dogs have become monsters capable of dealing death. An alligator they encounter assumes the dimensions of a nightmarish giant reptile out of a prehistoric era. The simplest little tasks-when they were normal-now become stupendously difficult. For example, it is almost impossible to lift a plate or open a door. Uses Slide Rule. Uncanny therefore, are the scenes where "Dr. Cyclops' hunts his dwarfed victims with a bird net, where he catches one and holds him securely in the grip of one hand, and where one of the ‘"‘little people' is cornered and faces the enemy with a table knife for defense. A large slide rule was one of Schoedsack's most valuable assistants in making the picture, Certain sets showed the "‘little people" in a room of ordinary furniture which loomed far above their heads. A chair, to them, had the dimensions of a tall building, and a door seemed larger than a cliff. How did Schoedsack do it? Certainly he couldn't really reduce the cast to one-fifth their normal dimensions. Painstakingly, giant sets were created. Every article was enlarged five times its normal size. Even this was only a part of Scho- edsack's wizardry. Giant sets do not explain how ‘Dr. Cyclop s" could hold another human in the palm of his hand or catch two or three people with the Swoop of a butterfly net. Used X-ray in One Scene, Schoedsack refuses to divulge much of his camera magic. Those are the trade secrets he has worked out laboriously over many years But some details have leaked out. For example, a scene was photographed in which an actor actu all decayed before the camera. . and guarded 24 hours a day.

His tracks usually lead in the direction of the next German lunge, and, controlling the army, he makes as well as executes decisions. General Von Brauchitsch is a member of an old east Prussian feudal family, a conservative by instinct, education and tradition, but politically malleable. A distinguished officer in the World war, he hated the republic, but went along with it, alienating his stiff-necked Junker colleagues, and became head of its armed forces. From 1922 to 1932, he delivered many scholarly denunciations of bolshevism, but, perhaps more than any ‘other one man, put through the interchange of officers, technicians, fabricated goods, munitions and raw material s between Germany and Russia during this decade. Weighty opinion from the other side is that General Von Brauchitsch, rather than Hitler, Goering or Rosenberg, scheme d the Russo-German deal and forced it to a conclusion through his unquestioned hold on the army. To him is also attributed the plan, the decision, the timing and the start of the drive into Poland .
