DEMOCRATS WANT
AUG. CONVENTION
Seek to Avoid Long Cam
paign; City to Be Named
Monday

Washington, Feb. 3-(UP)-Prom
inent senate Democrats urged their
party today to hold its national con-
vention early in August to avoid a
long, expensive campaign.
The Democratic national COM
mittee, which meets here Monday,
was said to be ready to choose a
convention city-San Francisco, Chi
cago and Philadelphia have entered
bidS-but not a convention date. A
subcommittee probably will be ap-
pointed to recommend one, which
Democrats hope will follow the Re-
publican convention.
Meanwhile, ce-PreSident John N.
Garner sought to force new dealers
to consent to preferential primary
in Georgia by announcing that he
would enter such a contest If it is
held.
Garner, in an exchange of letters
with Sen. Walter F. George, D., Ga,
whom President Roosevelt unsuc-
cessfully sought to displace in the
1898 election purge of conserva-
tive Democrats, said that the pre-
ferential primary sis the Democratic
procedure"
GAS you know" he wrote George,
IT have heretofore announced that
I will accept the nomination for
president but that I will make no
effort to control any delegates. The
people should decide and the can
didates should be selected at prim-
aries and conventions as provided
by law. I am glad that Georgia
Democrats follow this plan and I
desire at the proper time to enter
my name in the Georgia primary"
Gamers bid was interpreted as a
move to force a primary in Georgia,
which new dealers we're understood
to be opposing.
AS the Democratic national COM
mittee prepared to meet, 1t was
learned that San Francisco has Of
fered the Democrats $l50,000 to hold
their convention in that city. Phil
adelphia has offered the same
amount and Chicago, it was under
stood, has bid an unannounced
figure. Philadelphia, however, has
notified party leaders that 1t would
boost its bid to $4,000 II guar
antee is given that the convention
will last five days or longer.

British May Send Troops
to Dardanelles to Aid
Turkey

Belgrade, Jugos1avia, Feb. supp
-Unconfirmed reports were cir
culated today that Great Britain
might send troops to the Turkish
Dardanelles to tighten up its block
ade and aid Turkey in protecting
the vital strait.
No substantiation could be found
in official quarters for the reports,
but they intensified an atmosphere
Of nervousness among delegates to
and observers at the little entente
conference.
It was suggested in diplomatic
gossip that any allied and Turkish
troop activity in the DardanelleS
region might cause some Balkan
nations to increase their armies
and thus cut down to an appre-
ciable extent the export Of food
stuffs and perhaps other goods from
southeastern Europe to Germany.
Rumania was the diplomatic GEN.
ter of the conference.
Reports were denied that Ruma-
MIA had threatened to swing into
the German-RuSsian protective Or
bit unless the other little entente
nations, Jugoslavia, Turkey and
Greece, supported her against claims
by Hungary and Bulgaria for ter
ritorial concessions.
But there were reports still that
Rumania had made substantial eco
nomic concessions to Germany In
return for German aid in relaxing
Russian pressure. 1t was known,
that Rumania had contracted t
I provide Germany with large quaint.
ties Of oil, and there was some sug.
gestion that Rumania was using The
German situation to offset in ad.
vance any proposals that, in the in.
terest Of Balkan solidarity, she
make concessions to Hungary and
Bulgaria.
Allied quarters discounted all re-
ports Of a possible Rumanian swing
toward Germany. King Carol was
unlikely to put his country under
the full protection of Germany,
They said, because that would be
about the same as converting it
into a protectorate.

Virtually all ships which the

Many of them were tied up long

Agents Of British and French ship

BATTLE DUE ON
Low FARM BILL
House Ignores Roosevelt
Warning Cuts Appro-
priation for Farmers
BY FRANK McNAUGHTON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


Washington, Feb. 3.-(UP)-The
house sent q $722, 001 ,0S4 agriculture
department. appropriation bill to
the senate today where a battle Is
expected between the farm bloc and
economy advocates over its $67, 000,-
600 reduction in President Roose-
velt's 1941 farm budget.
The house stayed in session until
HOS p. m, last night and finally
defied the president by passing the
bill on q voice vote after cutting
sec, 928, 434 from the amount he had
recommended.
Mr.. Roosevelt made a last minute
attempt to persuade the house to
restore the cuts. At his Hyde Park,
N. H., home, where he is spending
the weekend, he refused to accept
the responsibility for the damage to
agricultural economy II the farm
fund was cut under his recommen-
dations.
The presidents budget proposed
farm appropriations for 1941 Of
$788, 929, $40, almost half Of the ST.
30l ,34O,315 appropriation for the
current year. But that was slashed
in committee to $634,00O 900. A week
Of battling on the house floor by
the farm bloc restored $87, 626,828.

to avoid an increase in the national
debt limit.
Farm senators already have an
nounced that they would seek to in
crease the bill, and threatened to
demand drastic economies in relief
and national defense bills II they
fail.
Sens. Robert M. La Toilette, Prog,
wis, George w. Norris, Ind, Neb.,
and Claude Pepper, D., Fla, all an
nounced that they would fight for
both parity payments and the sur
plus commodities money.
House Republicans voted almost
solidly for every economy proposal,

Gated that If the senate increases
the bill, the house will wage q ro-
