1940 Fights Will Feel Slap Effect
Washington Aug. 20 The Roosevelt administration faces a tough political path as it fights to preserve party control in the 1940 elections. Analysts see potential shifts in the Senate and House balance following attacks on Georgia Senator H. Z. Taft and Maryland Senator Tydings. A conservative Democrat faction seeks a rival presidential nominee, while the Roosevelts may push for a long term influence in choosing the party platform. The outcome hinges on primaries and future alignments as strategists anticipate possible realignments or new party entries. In a related note, a Q A clarifies Everglades cultivation estimates: only about 100 000 to 125 000 acres are under cultivation.
