Washington, Feb. 28 What
will come out of the efforts of the
majority party leaders in Con
gress to heal the breach between
the old-line Democrats and the
New Dealers is still a Speculative
. question to which there is no ap-
K parent answer.
In the party caucus where the
-4»ffort was made to get the entire
F majority membership to agree to
\cooperate for the salvation of the
party in the 1940 elections, not
much headway was made.

united party is the first essential
to success at election time.
There is little doubt that the
undercover movement to take
control of the Democratic Na
tional Convention of 1940 away
from Mr. Roosevelt and his
clique, and nominate a candidate
representing the conservative
wing of the party, on a platform
of economy, tax reduction and ef
ficiency in government, is assum
ing formidable shape.
Nobody talks very much about
it in public, especially the Vice-
President. "Cactus Jack" Garn
er is too shrewd and experienced
a politician to talk about what he
is doing or trying to do until he
is sure that he has the necessary
backing to put it over.
But the growing belief on Cap
itol Hill is that he is manipulat
ing the strings to bring the can
didate of his choice to the front,
and that candidate is believed to
be Senator Bennett Champ Clark
of Missouri.
If Vice-President Garner comes
out in the open for Senator Clark
more than five minutes before
the 1940 Convention opens, ev
erybody who knows his ways of
working will be surprised.
Republicans Organized
On the opposite seats in both
houses something much more like
a workable party organization is
being developed, especially in the
House.
The shrewd policy has been
adopted of not taking the lead as
Republicans on such questions as
divide the Democrats, but instead
signifying to the anti-New Deal
leaders that the Republicans are
ready to go along with them.
This relieves southern anti-ad
ministration Democrats of the
stigma which might attach to
them back home that they are
tagging along behind the Repub
licans.
More curiosity and speculation
is going around as to the nom
inee of the President to fill the

of Justice Louis D. Brandeis just
before Mr. Roosevelt sailed for
the Caribbean, than there was as
to the successor of Justice Car
dozo.
Those in the know anticipated
that Professor Felix Frankfurter
would get the Cardozo seat, but
the wiseacres are at sea as to the
present vacancy, the fifth which
Mr. Rooseveit will have had to fill
since he became President.
The retirement of Justice
Brandeis, on full pay for the rest
of his life—he is almost 83 now
and in poor health—was not en
tirely unexpected, but it is believ
ed that the President himself had
no intimation that it would come
so soon.
Jerome Frank Suggested
In New Deal circles the pres
sure is being put on Mr. Roose
velt to appoint Jerome Frank, of
the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Mr. Frank is very
highly regarded by everyone In
Washington as an able lawyer,
and is in a sense a protege of
Justice Brandeis. The objections
being urged against him are that
he is an Easterner and a Jew.
The President is said to feel
it would be poor policy for him
to name another Jew to the Su
preme Bench so soon after ap
pointing Justice Frankfurter, even
though he would replace another
Jew. And the Senators and Con
gressmen from the West are be
coming insistent that the region
West of, the Mississippi should be
represented on the High Court,
The theory is that there are
problems peculiar to the West
which only a Westerner could
properly pass opon.
The candidate most strongly
urged is Judge Sam Gilbert Brat
ton of the Federal Circuit Court
of New Mexico. Judge Bratton is
a native of Texas, a former
United States Senator from New
Mexico, and has an excellent rec
ord and reputation as a jurist. He
resigned from the Senate after
being re-elected in 1930, to ac
cept the appointment to the Cir
iuit Court of Appeals. It is known
that the President likes him very
much personally, and there is lit
tle doubt that he would be con
firmed if nominated to the Su
preme Court.

Emma Hampton Thursday even
ing. The meeting was opened
with the mission song for the
year, "I Love to Tell the Story."*
The Scripture lesson was read by
the president. Miss Elizabeth Nor
man, and opening prayer was led

leader, Mrs. D. T. Sparger, an
nounced the subject of the month
"The Great Commission

The tea table was covered with
being put forward, among them
former Senator Lewis B. Schwel
lenbach of Washington, a native
of Wisconsin, who was defeated
for re-election last Fall. He is
an able lawyer but never held a
judicial post.
Too Much Economy
Some of the Senators and Rep
resentatives are wondering whe
ther they have let their sudden
spurt of economy go too far. They
cut out of the Public Buildings
appropriation bill & round half
million dollars to put new roofs
on the two wings of the Capitol.
The old roofs have been in
place since 1853, and the archi
tect of the Capitol warned com
mittee members the other day
that if there should be an un
usually heavy snowfall in Wash
ington, Congress had better ad
journ.
In 1922 a heavy snow crushed
the roof of a Washington movie
theater and several hundred per
sons were killed. The thought of
their roofs crashing down on
their heads is giving members the
jttters and there is talk of restor
ing the item for a new roof.
The old roof beams are of
wood, for it was built long before
structural steel came into use.
There is no danger, however, of
the great Dome of the Capitol
falling down. It is made of cast
iron in sections bolted together,
and has stood since 1865.
