.ill r vi~ 'aMarch i93 Washington, March 23.—Poli tics is always in ths air in Wasli- H ington, where political considera tions determine most of the activ ities of Government, year in and year out. But after a Presiden tial election there is usually a breathing * spell of a couple of years In party politics, before the forces of the opposing parties be gin to form their lines for the next Presidential contest. The partisan breathing spell has been rery brief this time, however. Mr. Roosevelt's second term is hardly two months old, but already the lines are farming for the election of 1940, with the possibility that the line-up in that -|g year may be totally different from T anything in the past. Two developments since the Farm Land-Quick Sale 51*4 acres of excellent farm land in Roar ing River, Wilkes County, formerly owned by Will L. Harris. Other farm properties for sale. A. L.

Dolly '-E . . . B WBT 10:45 A. M., Mon.-Wod.-ik to investigate electric cookery. _ first of the year have started shifts of political opinion and point toward a realignment of po litical leaders. These are the President's proposal to bring the Judicial department of the Fed eral Government under the con trol of the Legislative and Exec utive departments, and the spec tacular rise to power and promi nence of John L. Lewis and his C. I. O. or industrial union pro gram for Labor organization. The President's proposal has had the Immediate effect of split ting the Democratic party wide open." Old line Demcoratic lead ers, who have been willing to go along with Mr. Roosevelt in the name of party regularity, even though many of his New Deal pol icies ran contrary to their own judgments and to the party's tra ditions, are coming out in the open and declaring that they cannot follow him on any propo sal designed to Impair the position of the Supreme Court as an equal and coordinate branch of the Federal Government. The Senate split is not along established party lines. Although the 16 Republican senators are naturally opposed to the President's plan, they are keeping quiet and letting the Democrats do the public protest ing. The most active public lead er of the opposition is Senator Wheeler of Montana, a Democra tic wheelhorse whose party regu larity has never been questioned. Following Senator Wheeler's lead ership are at least 25 senators of his own party, mostly from the traditional Democratic stronghold of the "Solid South." They are earnestly, even bitter- rm ELKYN TP"!?J MB. ELKIN, NORTH CAROUNA ly determined to fight j the Su preme Court proposal t£ the last ditch. At present morei than 40 Senators are avowedly ih opposi tion to the Court plan. That is not a majority of the Senate, but it Is a large enough group to block the Court proposal, or at least to force a compromise, even *t ten or a down yield under Administra tion pressure. And since this "bloc" contains many of the most powerful party leaders, with enor mous influence in their home states, who are risking their po litical futures as a matter of prin ciple, observers here regard the situation as pointing directly to ward a split in the whole Demo cratic party between "Old Line" Democrats and "New Dealers." That might result in some sort of a coalition of conservative and anti-New Deal forces for the 1940 campaign. The proposal has been made and is seriously being con sidered in Republican circles that it would be good strategy for the Republicans to let it be known that their party will put no can didates in the field in the Con gressional elections -of 1938 Democratic Senators and Representatives who vote against the Administration on the Su preme Court issue. Labor Party for 1940 Further complicating the poli tical outlook is the apparent cer tainty that there will be a new and powerful Labor Party in the field in 1940, with possibly 10 to 15 million votes which it will control. It will be a Third Party, but it may indorse the Adminis tration's candidates, as its nu cleus, as Mr. Lewis's American Labor Party did in the 1936 elec tions. John stands out to day as the strongest labor leader since the late Samuel Gompers. The breach between his industrial union organization and the craft union set-up of the American Federation of Labor grows wider every day. The outlook from here is for practically complete domi nation of the labor situation by Air. Lewis, in the long run, al though until that is demonstrated the Administration will not openly take sides against William Green and his Federation. The Federa tion is not,, however, an aggres sive political unit, while the Lewis C. I. O. is. Therefore, great con sideration may be expected to be shown toward the C. I. O. and its activities, and political plans look ing to 1940 will be shaped with him and his followers in mind. It is not generally believed here that Mr. Lewis is personally am bitious for the Presidency, but it is held certain that he will have a great deal of influence in de termining the President's selec tion of the man he wants as a candidate to succeed himself. Mr. Roosevelt, In recent speeches and press statements, has more than once referred to the next Inaugu ration of a President, in terms which indicate that he is already thinking about his successor. New "Blue Eagle" The idea that the Supreme Court issue can be permanently settled only by the submission to the states of a proposal for aj Constitutional amendment seems to be gaining ground, in spite of, the President's insistence that that process takes too long. Most of the demand for immediate ac tion arises from the belief In Ad- ministration circles that a new "Blue Eagle" is necessary, to avert the imminent danger of an infla tionary boom which might end ix\ a wtnrae depression than the last one. It is an open secret that the rising spiral of commodity prices, which are going up faster than the purchasing power of consum ers is rising, is giving Govern ment economists serious concern.
