Washington, July 25.
The New Deals widely advertised purge of oppositionists in Congress narrowed to two or three Senators and possibly a few Representatives ioday after most of the nine Demo-trafic Senators generally believed to have been placed on the Administration's "black list" a few months ago appeared to have been granted "re-brieves,"
The latest Senator to be forgiven by the Administration was Senator Alva B. Adams, Democrat of Colorado, who was endorsed for re-election by the Colorado Democratic Assembly today by an almost unanimous vote, The Administration evidently has decided against any real effort to defeat Senator Adams, despite. his opposition in the last session of Congress-to many of the President's most favoured programmes.
Likewise it appeared that organized opposition to the re-election of Senator Augustine Lonergan, Democrat of Connecticut, was not likely because the Attorney-General, Mr. Homer Cummings, today endorsed him for renomination.
"War" on Three Senators Observers believed it was possible, however, that the President would "declare war" on Senators Walter F. George, Democrat of Georgia, Ellison Smith, Democrat of South Carolina, and Millard E. Tydings, Democrat of Maryland.—United Press.
After completing his fishing trip in the southern Pacific, President Roosevelt will invade Georgia on August 11 and later will visit South Carolina while en route to Washington. It was believed possible that the President might advise Georgia and South Carolina voters to send a strictly "Administration man" to the Senate in the next session instead of returning Senators George and Smith.
Informed circles predicted the President also would intervene in the Maryland campaign after his return to Washington.—United Press,
