Mi;- a. to whether the new Federal
work relief set-up was being politi

ronage for politicians, or merely a
move on the part of the government
to make its relief work more efficient
has -erved to bring nut into the open
a controversy that has been going on
beneath the service in political cir
cle- for several weeks here. The fact
that Governor J C. B Ehringhaus
was one of those who expressed the
opinion that the government's relief
agencies were being broken up into
different units in order to provide
more patronage, is also regarded as
significant For when Aubrey L. Wil
liams. PWA spokesman at the con

relieving human suffaring" was going
to be placed on the same basis as
post offices and become a matter of
patronage. Governor Ehringhaus in

Dietrich of Illinois and
Adams of Colorado
Fought Utility Bill
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer
New York, June 15.—The Roosevelt
administration certainly is putting
one name down in its book for 1938
attention.
That name is William H. Dietrich,
junior U. S. senator from Illinois.
Dietrich is one of the chief jettison
ers of New Deal measures, although
a Democrat.
No man tried more to emasculate
the Wheeler-Raylb-urn utility holding
company bill, Dietrich comes from
Beardstown, in the southern part of
Illinois, where utilities and coal op
erators have heavy investments.
Another anti-New Deal Democrat
who is likely to receive earnest at
tention in 1938 is Senator Alva R.
Adams of Colorado.
The same Is true, for that year, of
Senator Millard E. Tydings. of Mary,
land.

Washington, June 15.—There have

Now Executive. Secretary Earl Ven
able. of the National Republican Con
gressional Committee, tentatively sug
gests that it may foe auadrangular.
Among lawmakers (of various po

fin a considerable scattering who in
cline to think that Secretary Ven
able's guess is not a very wild one.
Such an alignment apparently
would be about like this:
1. A Rooseveltian New Deal Demo
cratic ticket.
2. A conservative Democratic tick
et. similar to the Palmer and Buck,
er ticket, named in 1896 more to help
McKinley against Bryan (without ad
mitting it) than with any hope of
victory.
3. An orthodox Republican ticket.

whom the New Deal is insufficiently
to the leftward.
