GARNER NOT YET
 ACTIVE IN RACE.
Garner, Farley COmbina- ton Is Strongly Tinted;
 Roosevelt Might Bolt
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, April 3.--(UP)-Vice President John N. Garner is not yet an active candidate for President but would accept the 1940 Democratic nomination. it is known here today on the basis of well authenticated information.
 It is believed that Garner would prefer postmaster general James A. Farley as his vice presidential run- ming mate. A complication there is that Farley also is presidential possibility and rather good one.
 Political observers believe Gar ner-Farley ticket would be polite ally sound barring a left wing new deal rebellion against returning party control to comparatively con- servative men. Some new deal brigade commanders probably would bolt. The final test of it's political strength would depend largely on President Roosevelt's attitude.
 Roosevelt Might Bolt
 MT. Roosevelt might bolt but some persons believe he would convict himself of ingratitude if he did so. It was Farley's spadework and stretegy plus Gamers personal re- lease of the California and Texas delegations to MT. Roosevelt that permitted his first nomination in 1882.
 Washington does not know what MT. Roosevelt intends to do. A thoughtful analysis of his position is that the President today is not a candidate but would be receptive to nomination if his reelection ap- peared to be reasonably likely.
 MT. Roosevelt probably would not have to obtain the Democratic nom- ination to prevent a conservative Democratic administration succeed ing his new deal. If the 1940 Demo- cratic National convention became so conservative that the President could not support the ticket it nom- mated, he practically could assure Democratic defeat by opposing the nominee.
 Would Elect Republican
 That would permit election of a 1OCpuDAlCc1l CoAQCAlU cklQ, DlOUdUly, ", Republican House of Representa- tives although Democrats would be expected to retain Senate control. A serious new deal objection to that strategy would be that the losing Democratic ticket would have gained control of the party organization.
 Garner Boom Increases
 The conviction that Garner is a receptive if not yet an active candi- date was increased last week when he permitted Sen Tom Connally, D., Tex, to insert in the congressional record a Texas state legislature re- solution endorsing him for the nom- nation.
 Garner has been consistently cri- tical of new deal policies since the sit-down strike, supreme court and spending disputes became acute after the 1886 presidential election. He has taken forceful but behind- the-scenes part in maneuvers which have checked the new deal or de- feated it on various issues. But there is no open break between the Pres ident and the Vice President. They meet twice weekly at cabinet gath erings and it still is "Jack" and Captain"

 Anti-semitic literature is distri- buted in camps established by the Bund youth organization and lon numerous occasions inflamatory speeches are made against the Jews blaming them for Communism"
 The camps are at Grafton, Wis, St. Louis, Yaphank, Long Island, Southbufy, Conn.,, Andover, N, J., Croydon, Pa., and Tanglewood Park, Buffalo, N. Y. Others are planned at Bridgman, Mich, Cleveland and South Bend, Ind.

 Leaders of the Bund insist, the report said, that no oath is required for membership. Several statements and pledges" were found to have been used, however. In one, used in the youth movement, the member promises to be faithful to the Ger

 Loyalists Must Report
 The thousands of Republicans who are returning to their homes all over the country must report to civil guards there to "give an account of their war activities" Men released will be enrolled in labor battalions, to repair war damage, or be assigned jobs. Experts sent by the National ists are engaged in examining re- cords of civil servants who remained in Madrid during the war. Julian Besteiro, moderate Republican 1ead- CT who volunteered to remain here and surrender Madrid to the Na- tionalists, is held a prisoner. He was to have been court martialed yester- day. But it was decided to investi- gate his entire political record, dat ing back to the world war.
 Formal courts martial were ex- pected to start early this week. Agents of the secret police have been busy for days preparing for them. It was announced yesterday that a Socialist leader named Sal vatierra had been shot here because he barricaded himself and refused to surrender" Authorities sought to get industry going as from today. Coin- cidently labor battalions began clear ing up war debris and defense works in the Madrid area.

 Asylums For Guilty
 The newspaper informaciones as- serted in an editorial that some for eign embassies were asylums for Persons who should be in prison" !"
 During the civil war the Repub- licans complained bitterly that some embassies were sheltering Nation alists.
 Informaciones, commenting on this, argued that the Nationalist refugees were justified in seeking asylum because they were unjustly persecuted by savage mobs." But it was added that the right of asy- lum, which is widely recognized in Spanish speaking countries of the western hemisphere, "can not serve for an assassin who escapes from justice"
 The Chilean embassy was men, tioned as one which was violating the asylum law by sheltering Re- publicans.

Adjourns Indefinitely
 Providence, R. l., April 3-(P)- With tri-state conferences adjourned indefinitely, efforts to settle the Southern New England truck strike, now in its third week, turned to Boston today.
 Massachusetts employers and un- ion officials were scheduled to meet with the state arbitration board at 10 a. m. in the state house at Boston.
 The conference was called as ces- sation of delivery service began to force industrial plants to curtail op- erations or shut down altogether because of inability to obtain ma terials or ship finished products.
 In Providence, union representa- tives and furniture movers were to meet to discuss a truce to permit movement of furniture of families whose leases expired April 1.
 Fifty members of the Rhode Is- land truck owners negotiating con- mittee met last night and voted to resist "as long as necessary efforts of certain labor leaders to force upon the trucking industry wage scales and conditions it can little afford to absorb"
 The strike was called by the h. ternational Brotherhood of Team sters, chauffeurs, stablemen and helpers, an American Federation of Labor affiliate, in an effort to win 8 uniform 75-cent maximum hourly wage in place of the present maxi mum hourly wage averaging 60 cents but varying with locality. Some 5000 drivers either are on strike or allegedly have been look ed out by employers in retaliatory move.
 Hartford, Conn. April 3.--(UP)- Connecticut's strike of more than 2,000 truck drivers remained unset- tied today as peace negotiations went into their third week to draft contract agreeable to the union and operators throughout Southern New England.
 Indications were the strike would continue in this state until a pact acceptable to owners of the trans portation lines had been drawn They have refused to back down from an original offer to increase wages beginning in 1940.
 Though union contracts with Springfield, Mass, truck owners ex- pired Saturday, labor leaders said there would be no strike at present Benjamin E. Naylor, Springfield business agent, said owners had ex- pressed willingness to enter con- ference.

 The strategy worked perfectly. Abramsohn had bid two sutis, and West knew that the side suit could not be run without loss. The dou- bIe came as matter of course, and the contract was made without dif- ficulty, South giving up two dia- nlond tricks.
