political conventions of sunny June
seemed a long way of today, but
preparations for them went on at an
accelerated pace.
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho
broadened his campaign for the Re-
publican presidential nomination. indi-

the Northwest in his drive for conven-
ton delegates.
He declared at a press conference
that he is seriously considering" en-
tering the Oregon primary May Is.
Borah had lunch with President
Roosevelt yesterday and afterward
said I'VE didn't omit any subject.
Current legislation, including neutral

White House had nothing to say
about it.

President Roosevelt and Vice Presi-
dent Garner were said by Senator
Buckley, Democrat, of Ohio to be
planning to comply with the formali-
ties necessary to enter slate of New

considered a potential rival of Borah
and others for the Republican NOM

the Government is the greatest bust
ness in the country" he told members

ting to know that under this New Deal
administration it is one of the most
mismanaged businesses, big or little,
In the Nation"
"Vassals of Dictator"
He declared tl.at before election
time the people must decide whether
they will become "vaSSals of a dictator
in the guise of Democratic President
or remain free citizens of free Re-

The Supreme Court action on the
N R. A. and the A. A. A, he said,

thraShed out tomorrow.
Mark L. Requa, national commit
teeman and friend of Herbert Hoover,
and Earl Warren, atSte chairman, are
urging an uninstructed delegation.

Knox will jump into Ohio to do bat
tie with Borah remained to be seen.
