 News in All Channels

Philadelphia, June A. (UP)- Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley said today that the rules committee. which meets this afternoon, probably will recommend abrogation of the two-thirds rule, but there will be a minority report.

Farley was asked about the prominence" in the convention of former members of the national committee who re- signed two years ago on President Roosevelt's order that they must give up their national committee membership or their positions with the government. He replied that he did not think they were particu- larly prominent in the gathering.
 "There will be new national committee in 4S hours anyway" Farley added.

Passed Away Last Night in COrnWaII-Left Here
 on May 30

Nicholas Combellack, 73, affec- tionately known to several genera tons of Waterburians as Pop" and a man who made probably the greatest contribution to boy guid- ance in the city's history, died at 5:30 p. m. last night at Cornwall, England, where he was visiting friends while engaged in one of his frequent trips to Britain. Word of the death of the director of the Waterbury Boys Club was received by cable here today by Frederick 8. Chase, a friend and associate for many years. Death came to Pop" as he was visiting again the scenes of his boyhood. He was born in Cornwall, February 24, 1863, and spent his early life against the rugged background of that seacoast district, and 1t was to that atmos- phere of his boyhood that close friends ascribe his utter simplicity, his complete lack of pretense and his sincere enjoyment in the per- formance of tasks that to other men were difficult.
 Left Here May 90
 MT. Combellack had left for Eng land May 30th. He had visited sev- eral parts of the "old country" and had been In his native district for but @ few days when he was strick- en. Pop" had been in poor health for the past several years, but his remarkable recuperative powers

 Convention 1all, Philadelphia June 24.--(UP) .--New Deal leaders turned qstodayafFonA a jubilant con. vention hall scene to the task oi closing a split between powerful democratic leaders over iiberalisa- ton of the platform on which President Roosevelt will seek re- election. There were indications that a message from the White House had reached Gov. Herbert II. Leh- man of New York, following failure of a preliminary effort to smooth out differences over a labor plank. The message would be designed to aid the resolutions committee in ending a controversy on whether to propose a constitutional amendment, if necessary to achieve the New Deal objective.
 Lehman Presents Views
 Lehman had presented his views on wages and hours to Committee Chairman Robert F. Wagner and reportedly had proposed stronger plank than had been approved ten- tatively by the president. Lehman was understood to have suggested either a specific recommendation for an amendment, if necessary. or declaration that the administra- ton would achieve its social objec- tives through whatever channel proved necessary.
 With an accord not yet achieved,
