PRICE SEES POLITICIANS GETTING THE BEST OF
FAMED BRAIN-TRUST IN WASHINGTON FIGHT
By Byron Price
From surface indications, at least, it appears that the poli
ticians have been getting the best of it in their rivalry with
the brain-trusters at Washington. The college professors
and the young liberal lawyers not only are becoming scarc
er, but those remaining are far less vocal in public.
Less legislation is going into Capitol Hill bearing the
stamp of the brain trust on the outside of the package. When
big fellows get together on any specific problem, the assem
bled company is likely to include fewer professors, more
politicians.
Of course these outward appearances may not be conclu
sive. Ray Moley, original dean of the administration fac
ulty. continues to slip in and out of the White House with
great frequency. Many of his old colleagues remain scat
tered here and there through the government service. It
is hard to tell whether the brain-sters really are dying out,
or merely ducking.
In some quarters the departure of Jerome Frank, whose
economic ideas had been berated so often by some of the
old-liners, caused almost as much commotion as did the ear
lier exit of Moley himself.
Frank had been credited with having a great deal to
do with the writing of agricultural legislation, especially.
He was supposed to be very solid with Dr. Rex Tugwell. on
whom the title of dean was conferred by many commenta
tors after Moley left.
The job Frank had simply was abolished. Appeals to
Dr. Tugwell availed nothing. Washington asked what this
might mean as to Dr. Tugwell’s own future.
The Tugwell drug bill, which the last congress failed
to pass, has been succeeded by the Copeland drug bill—and
a much different bill it is.
So far anyone is able to see, Mr. Roosevelt is talking
money and fiscal problems now with bankers and business
men whom he brought to important posts more or less re
cently. The economists who, in the role of experts, advis
ed the President to manipulate the dollar, are seldom heard
of today.
It remains an impenetrable secret of what, if anything,
was done with Dr. Hutchins, the eminent president of Chic
ago University, whose supposed summons to responsibility

in Washington stirred up so much publicity a few months
ago. So far as the eye could discern he never was put to
work at all.
Just what will be left for Harry Hopkins to do when
the present relief appropriations are exhausted is causing
much capital speculation.
There remains one really vocal survivor of the origin
al band of devotees to “the new economics”, but just now his
elegibility is very much under debate within the camp.
His name is Donald Richberg. He made his reputation
as a lawyer for labor unions and two years ago was looked
upon by many big business interests as a dangerous radical.
He has advanced in the favor of the White House fast
er and further than any other brain-truster. Along the way
he has broken with organized labor, however, made friends
with many of the conservatives, and acquired a reputation
of orthodox thinking that few would have believed possible.
It would be easy from the outward evidence alone to
conclude that the brain-trust, as originally set up, has vanish
ed. But conclusions like that about the present administra
tion never are safe. The pendulum might swing the other
way tomorrow.
American Indians
Said Have Come
Bv Way Siberia
(Rv The Associated Press)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 30—
From Siberia, across the Bering
Strait and then down the coast of
Alaska, the progenitors of the In
dian traveled in their migration
from Asia to America.
Came From Tibet
From Southeastern Tibet, the
progenitors of the American Indian
originally started their travels, mak
ing their way from there to Siberia,
Gordon T. Bawles anthropologist of
Harvard University, declares in a
report issued late yesterday by the
university.
Dr. Bowles declares that in his
researches in Southeastern Tibet he
found a remarkable resemblance be
tween the characteristic profile of
the Tibetan race and the profile of
the American Indian on the Buffalo
nickle.
Northward and Eastward
Ho believes that part of this Tib
etan race spread northward and east
ward through Siberia, thence across
the Bering Strjiit down to the plains
of the American continent.
Dr. Bowles further believes that
the Tibetan race originated from a
mixture of the White race and the
Mongolian race following an invas
ion of Mongolia by Europeans.
