TRENDS OF TODAY
Challenge of Machine Age
Flung at Youth by Sher-
wood Anderson.

The challenge of machine age which
is DESTROYING mans individuality and
threatening his very existence was flung
into the teeth of the younger generation
last night by Sherwood Anderson, man
of letters, in an address at the Jewish
Community Center. In the same
breath, he pictured America as a
matriarchy in which the dominant
characteristics of the male are slowly
diminishing, and country in which, due
to the depredations of the machine, no
poor man can hold an important public
office.
1.-THE machine, at first mans willing
servant, has now grown larger than its
master" Anderson said, "and the sense
Of well-being and power it once in
spired has changed to one OF terror.

ROOSEVELT ACT
PLUNCES CAMP
into CONFUSION
DiSavOWS Responsibility for
New Attempt to Re-
wise Rules.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times stan Writer

CHICAGO, June 28.-Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt plunged his
partisans into confusion again today
when he disavowed responsibility
for the second attempt of his con-
vention manager to revise the rules
to permit nomination by a major
ity instead of two-thirdS of the
delegates.
Following the New York Cover
nor'S surrender of the original pro-
posal to kill the two-thirdS rule be-
fore the first ballot was taken, his
supporters on the rules committee
agreed on provision whereby a
majority could nominate after the
sixth ballot.
Upsets Farley Plans
The new strategy created as much
resentment as the first one, but the
Roosevelt spokesman here declared
they would go through with this
fight.
1t was after a stirring and excit-
ing day that Roosevelt'S second ap-
parent reputation of his managers
was made public by James A. Far
ley, RooSevelt'S chief lieutenant.
Roosevelt, besides upsetting Far
ley's plans. virtually has repudi-
ated the rules committee, controlled
by his faction.
However, they again obeyed the
behest of the man at Albany and
acted to withdraw their report pro-
viding nomination by majority.
Report Prestige Lost
A loss of Roosevelt prestige was
conceded on all sides as result OF
the apparent vacillation.
Unofficial polls had indicated the
six proposition would be de-
feated by about 100 votes, anc
this attempt to escape responsibility
has only increased the strength OF
the opposition.
The allies clearly are heartenec
by Roosevelt'S surrender, and his
friends discouraged.

BAKER REFUSES

Convention Is BaffIed by

By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 28.-The Demo-

today with the novel spectacle of a
man with much potential nominal
ton strength, who refuses to take
any part in convention activities.
The man is Newton D. Baker of
Ohio.
He did not come to the conven-
ton, although he is receiving sup
port from many states. No one is
able to bargain with him for votes.
Office seekers can not poster him
because they do not know where he
is. There is no throng of appli-
cants for postmasterships forming
in front of his headquarters be-
cause he has none.
Bakers tactics are unique in
Democratic politics, in that he was
one of the field" with a following
still to be recruited to winning
strength. Efforts of his friends to
get him to make statement of posi-
ton or to aid their campaign would
have been unavailing.
