Rodney Dutcher Not Major Issue I Alice’s Hand An Old Promise ;nnewHor‘lld Washington Cor respondent WASHINGTON—Don't make any mistake about it. Professor Tug well is all washed up as a major jesue in the fall campaigns, In retrospect, it seems a' little ¢lly that this bright young man threatened to becoms just that. put he definitely faded out as a frebrand of political contention when Senator Charles McNary, Republican leader in the senate, voted to report favorably his nomi mation as undersecretary for agri culture, only one Republican on the Agricultural committ2e voted against Tugwell, and but one ‘Democrat— of 18 voting. Now, when anyone seeks votes by roasting Tugwell, the obvious and effective answer will be that the G. O. P. leadership gave him its okay. The Wirt and Tugwell sensa tions turned into fiascoes princi pally because those who promoted them were incompetent and ignor ant. The New Deal ranks her 2 contain many who hope for drastic revision of the profit system and a greater or lesser 2xtension of gov gnment control and ownership. And many who would like to re turn to pre-New Deal days, And itill others who cling to the Brand ¢is theory that Big Business should be broken up into smaller units. . An honest symposium of private beliefs among New Dealers would be of great interest. But not ter= Mbly important, because Roosevelt has shown he can make his own decisions and keep close to the middle of the road. . The most spectacular attacks have come from special interests seeking to preserve large profits in the stock market, in processing and distributing foods, in public utilities. Since such profits are unpoup lar when the issue is directly pre gented, they are forced into wild accusations of plots to thwart re covery or holshevize the country. Such charges are easily knocked down—and thes attackers retire discomfited. Nevertheless, it's too bad no senator was sufficiently willing or adroit to draw from Tugwell his real views as to regulations of pro fits and protection of consumers. He has quite a few, The fine hand of A’lce Long worth appeared visibly at the lat tst Tugwell attack. She conferred for nearly half an hour with Sena tor Josiah Bailey, of North Caro lina before he began his long ques tining of the professor, And then she sometimes seemed to be whis- Pering to him between questions. On of Mrs. Longworth’'s closest lurnalistic friends is a persistent Tugwell foe, He was guest of hon o at a party to which she invited Tugwell. The professor came, but didn't go near either hostess or guest of honor after the first salu tations. And he wasn't invited again. When Senator Dill of Washing ln blocked unanimous consent to immediate consideration of the Tugwell nomination, he was keep ing an old promise to ‘“‘oppose erything = that concerns Tug- Well.” Tugwell came here with the no tion that consumers shouldn't be Moisoned.
