A RESUME OF GOVERNMENTAL
HAPPENINGS IN THE
NATIONAL. CAPITAL
Washington. April 17?The two
phases ot greatest political uitcres*. .
in Washington at this stage of the ?
presidential campaign might be call- c
ed the "Draft Roosevelt" movement
and tht 'Stop Dcwev" movementi.he
politicians of both parties are J
divided in each case. The draft
Roosevelt movement is focused en- 1
tirely in Washington ana is being j
conducted by administration off:- ;
cials. most of whom stand to lose I
their jobs if any Democrat except I
Air. Rooseveltv or any Republican at !
all. becomes the tenant of the White
House next January.
It is led by the secretary of the in- I
terior. Harold Ickes. who" was a Re - !
publican until President Roosevelt j
made him a member of his cabinet.
This movement has been going on I
for months, and shrewd observers i
here think they see signs that it is I
waning.
The best opinion among Washing- !
ton soothsayers today is that Air. !
Farley and Mr. Garner have succeed- j
ed in demonstrating to the Prcsi- :
dent's satisfaction that it would be j
ruinous to his party for him to run I
for a third te?-m
The same prophets are predicting i
that Mr. Roosevolts influence will j'
be thrown to Secretary of State j
Hull for the presidency and Attorney
General Robert H. Jackson for j second
place on the ticket. Such a j 1
ticket would go far to avert a seri- ; i
ous split in the party, since both Mr. i ?
Hull and Mr. Jackson are \vell liked i;
and respected by almost all factions ,
of Democrats. .
Eligibility Increased j ,
Mr. Hull's eligibility is regarded as I
having been increased by his vie- j |
torv in congress in obtaining a ma- ;
jority vote in both houses for the ;
extension for three years of exec a !
live authority to continue to nego- ,

It s Open Season
On Garden Planting
Gardens can be planted now i
almost every section of the sta;
without fear of late frost damagi
says L. P. Watson, extension, nort
cullurist of State College. *Tfc
only danger now." he state,
' would be to some of the tend*
plants, such as beans, cucumbers, tc
ir.aioes. com and sweet potatoes, i
the mountain section. These may t
planted safely in the west after Ma
1 to 15."
Watson said there is little excus
for any farm family1 failing to plai
a garden now. It is almost irr
perative that we grow something t
eat this year to Offset an mevitabi
decline in income from tobacco/' h
declared.
"The vegetable garden will b
worth far more to the farm famii
than an acre of tobacco given up i
the control program. The vegetable
which can be grown on an acre ?
garden land would cost the house
wife $450 if bought at retail price.
This compares with tne average acr
value of tobacco of about $135, an
an acre value for cotton of $35, an
corn $20.
Watson pointed cut that the agri
coucaRn cofiservaii|ffl program is ol
fering this year a payment of $1.5
for each home garden of at leas
lone-tenth acre for each member o
the family. Details of this AAJ
practice, and other valuable infor
mation on home gardens, are con
taincd in extension folder No. 45
which is free upon request to th<
agricultural editor at State College
Raleigh.
Late reciprocal trade agreement
with other nations without bavin;
in submit them t.o the senate fo
:orifirmation. It had a close squeeze
n the senate, several Democrat^
senators from the agricultural state:
noting against it.
The belief here is that the Rcpub
iicans will make these trade agree
mcnts a major campaign issue in th*
agricultural regions of the Missis
sippi valley. The farm vote ma:
easily decide next fall's election. an<
there is a strong element ol farm
cts who believe that Mr. Hull's tradi
agreements opened the door to for
cign competition with Anierieai
farm products
District Attorney Thos. E. Dewe;
or New York, made himself man;
iriends in tin agricultural states o
the middle west bv his speeches 01
the farm situation, in which he tool
exception fo the Hull policies. Bu
Mr. Dewey did more than that. H
gave the leaders of his party th
surprise of their lives by his sue
cess in the primary elections o
delegates to the Republican nations
convention.
Everybod> in Washington alnuv
was certain that Senator Vaudcr
berg would get at least two-third
ui the Wisconsin voters. But M
Do why cot the whole 24 of then
This clean sweep was the most con
vincing demonstration Washingto
has had yet of young Mr. Dewey1
pi pularity with the voters of hi
own party. Added to his other pri
mary victories, it lias given his part
leaders something to think about sc
riously.
Regarded as Outsider
In Washington whore Senator
Yandonbcrg and Taft are familin
figures the tendency has been to rc
gard Mr. Dewey as an outsider \vh
might be good enough for sect in
place but whose youth?ho is 311and
alleged inexperience in the ad
ministration of public affairs rule
him out as the nominee for the hea
of the ticket.
So the Republican leaders are bf
ginning to study Mr. Dewey's othe
qualifications much more seriously
In international affairs he recent I
talked Jike nri isolationist, but h
still believes that congress wa
right in repealing the arms einbargi
in agricultural matters he has sat
isfied the Republican spokesman <
the farm group. Senator McNarj
that he is the friend of the farmc
and understands farm problems.
Mr. Dewey's friends are vigorous

ivhen it comes to administrative ex
pcrience, neither Mr. T.aft nor Ml
ParCHenberg has any record to com
pare with that of Mr. Dewey in ad
ministering tile office of district at
torncy in the nation's largest an
most corrupt city and winning hi
uar against politically protect e
crime.
Democrats Active
It is significant that some prom
inent Democrats, as well as Rcpu'c
si can backers of other candidate!
are taking a more or less active par
in the effort to stop Dewev. Wheth
L-r he is regarded as the most dan
Serous opponent, from the Dorno
cratic view, is not quite clear.
There arc some who say that i
VIr. Roosevelt should decide, at th
ast minute to seek a third term
Torn Dewey is the only Ropubhcai
vith a strong enough personal ap
ic-al to have a chance against him
3ut the conventions are still mori
ban two months away, and Senato
l'aft is believed to have a very largi
lumber of delegates already safel;
pledged to himself.

L
^ Washington. April 15.?President
Roosevelt told the rest of the world
, today that the American republics.

relations among themselves, would j
stand together to repulse any as- !
sisauit. direct or indirect, from over-J

Addressing the governing board

\ President declared that "whoever

^ Then, observing that it was necessary
to be prepared to "meet force
v'ith force if challenge is ever
made." he said:
\Ve have adopted procedures
that enable us to meet any eventu- j
~ ahty. ... I pray God that we shall
I not have to do more than that; but
it it should be necessary. I am con^
vinced that we shall be wholly suc~
cessful. The inner strength of a j
