Fight For Democratic Party Control Growing In Congress Begins Second Month Os Session With Lines Sharp er Than Ever Before. Washington Congress has be gun the second month of the ses sion amid indications that Dem ocratic factionalism is develop ing rapidly into a fight for party control. Some politicians predicted ev ents of the next few weeks would sharpen the lines of this struggle, with President Roosevelt carry ing on his battle for new deal “liberalism”, Vice President Gar ner working quietly as chieftain of “conservative” forces, and both sides thinking of the presidential nomination in 1940 as the prize to be captured. There were some signs that the Democratic split had placed the balance of power in both senate •and house in the hands of the “conservatives,” a situation made possible chiefly by Republican in the November elections. Repitbtiqan members, keenly aware of their own possibilities in 1940, have become more active than in any other congress of the Roosevelt administration, but it is only through the support of revolting Democrats that they may upset President Roosevelt’s proposals on specific issues. The twin issues of foreign pol icy and national defense are over shadowing all other questions be fore congress, but the nature and extent of the Democratic split may be reflected more quickly in congressional action on other questions. Two nominations made by the president already have occasion ed bitter protests by some sena tors. One administration leader has predicted that at least one of the nominations would be turn ed down by the senate. That is Me. Roosevelt’s selec tion of Judge Floyd H. Robert’s of Bristol to be a federal district judge in Virginia. The appoint ment has been opposed vigorous ly by Virginia Senators Glass and Byrd, both anti-administration Democrats, and the judiciary com mittee voted overwhelmingly this week against confirmation.
