Emergency Requires
Roosevelt al Helm, .
Norris Declares
WiIIkie Disputes Theory
President Alone Can
Hundle Defense Problem
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
With more than a majority Of
Democratic convention delegates
already committed to President
Roosevelt, Senator Norris, inde-
pendent, Of Nebraska said today:
II do not see how the President
can refuse another nomination with
conditions as they are"
Prior to Germany's lightning
smash toward the English Channel
the veteran Nebraskan had doubts
that the Chief Executive wanted a
third nomination. He felt then that
Mr.. Roosevelt was permitting State
after State to pledge delegates to
him in the hope of swinging this
strength to another liberal can
didate."
But now Senator Norris believes
the man he has supported in tl.e
last eight years will almost have
to run" whether he wishes to or
not. The rank and file" of the
party want the President to stay
in the White House, he said.
Running Mates Suggested.
The belief is so widespread at the
Capitol that Mr.. Roosevelt will not
decline another nomination that
talk in recent days has revolved
almost exclusively around the vice
presidential candidate.
Cloakroom conjecture has men,
toned Senators Byrnes of South
Carolina, Wheeler of Montana and
OMahoney of Wyoming for second
place. Even another Roosevelt
Garner ticket is not being dis
counted.
Several friends of the Vice Presi-
dent reported privately a belief
that the Texan would not refuse
third-term bid on the ticket in
order to demonstrate party's unity
in the present emergency.
Republicans, meanwhile, kept up
their insistence that Mr.. Roosevelt
state he is against a third term.
The current challenges call on him
to announce his intentions during
his "freside chat" tomorrow night.
Willkie Speaks.
In Kansas City last night Wen-
dell L. Willkie, potential Republican
presidential nominee, disputed what
he said was the theory of "a few"
that the President is the only man
capable of handling the defense
program"
This theory can mean only one
thing" he said, that we should
permit the New Deal to spend the
billions of dollars for national de-
fense just as it has spent the
$60,0O0,000,0 that has passed
through its hands the last seven
and one-haf years"
Saying four more New Deal years
would be "ruinous," Mr.. Willkie
added, "the Republican party would
become Americas fifth column if it
failed to undertake its vital task of
restoring sound government and
sound industry in our land"
Roosevelt Wins More Votes.
democrats IN Rhode Island yes
terday added eight more to the
Roosevelt delegate total, bringing it
to 55512, with only 548 needed for a
majority of the 1904 convention
votes. The Democrats have yet to
pick 374 delegates.
On the Republican side, Indiana
added %, Vermont 9 and Nevada 6
to the uninstructed group to run
this total to $685. All but SO of the
1000 Republican convention dele
gates have been named. The num-
Der of unchosen will be reduced
further today when Washington
State selects it's 16.
Thomas E. Dewey, New York dis
trict attorney, continues in front,
with $50 pledged and semi-pledged
delegates.

Peace Talk Gains Impetus

It is almost an accepted proposition nowadays that out of the present world war will come federation of states, if not of the world, at least of Europe. The League of Nations grew out of the last war, and, like the early American Fed eration, the league was incapable even of holding the respect of it's member nations, much less maintaining peace among them. It is possible the league will lend itself to complete rehabilitation, permitting use of the facilities which now exist. More likely, however, is the prospect of an entirely new body, formed independ- ently of the league and avoiding the un- pleasant connotationS of that latter group.
 Every day men are talking about peace planning the kind of peace they be- lieve will do the world the most good. Sug- gestions come as freely from the bellig- erent nations as they do from the neu- trals. Inherent in every proposal is the implication of strong central body - an international parliament invested not only with the power of regulating inter- national relations but also with the power to enforce it's decrees.
 One of the specific proposals is that of Clarence Streit in "Union Now" Streit proposes to found union Of democracieS, with dictator nations eligible to join only when they change their governments to meet democratic specifications. The orgaization would be precisely like that of the United States government. The only difference would be that the organiza- tion would be enlarged to include the world, with nations taking the place of states in the American setup. Wide SUD- port has been given the Streit plan. Dr. Hu Shin, Chinese ambassador to the United States, recently urged its applica- ton to the world in general Meanwhile, the Institute for Intellectual Co-opera- tion, an adjunct of the League of Nations, announced in Paris that $l 000 had been offered by Chester D. Pugsley, Peekskill, N. Y., attorney, for research on world federation.
 The tragic irony of all this peace talk is that 1t must be carried on alongside three wars in Europe and the Far East. If peace is possible on permanent basis after the current wars are over, 1t is possible now. Wars are difficult to end, once they have been started. There Is so much "face" to be saved by all parties. Perhaps the junket of UnderSecretary of State Sum. iler Welles will have some effect in hast ening n settlement. According to Wash. ineton Columnist Bruce Cation. foreign diplomats are eager iO find wedge for peace, It's al a lot Of talk now, but it's Important. If we keep talking about it long and often enough, lt may become reality.

More to Come

Mrs. Elinor M Herrick, regional direc- tor of the National Labor Relations Board in.New York, said she was furious when she discovered that the topic of speech she was to deliver under sponsorship of the New York Labor Club had been advertised as Labor and the 1940 Elections" Mrs. Herrick withdrew from the radio program for which she was scheduled, after point ing to the recently adopted Hatch act which forbids political activity on the part of any federal officeholder.
 q happen to take my laws seriously" she Said
 One wonders how many other political job-seekers are going to take the law ser iously when the campaign gets hot. The Hatch act is pretty specific = but the temptation to mingle in politics may be- come pretty strong.

ReOpening Soon

According to reliable reports from Hart ford the Motor Vehicle Department will reopen testing lanes throughout the state on or about the first of April. This date is more or less optional, but it is safe to say that mid April will find the test ing lanes in full operation in the locali- ties selected by authorities It is believed, too, that with resumption of the tests means will be found to make the hours agreeable to all persons owning motor vehicles.
 Coming at this time of the year the first of the semi-annual inspections will cause a great many car owners to take the necessary precautions that they should always after hard winter such as we have just experienced Cars take a terrific amount of pumping during snowy and icy weather Mechanical devices have the habit of not functioning prop erly after such rough driving. Light bulbs are blown or wires looSened and poor connections established.
 All of which calls for a good seasonal check-up which should put ones car in good driving condition for the real danger months of the year. To those who find the tests particularly obnox- ious we can only say that in the inter- ests of our common safety on the high ways they should be willing to make some little concession or sacrifice. Many of the inconveniences of past tests are to be eliminated when the new lanes open. Eventually this business of having cars inspected can be made as easy as the method of securing new registrations or operators licenses, which certainly has been reduced to a minimum of effort.

THINKS THERE ARE TOO MANY HANGING AROUND WELL
 FARE DEPT.
Waterbury, Conn.,,

waterbury, Conn.,,
 March 12, 1940. Editor of the Democrat:
 Well what do you think after me going down to the Welfare Dept. to get my old-age tax cancelled on Feb. 6, 1940, told them I couldn't t pay this year because I am not working. That's about a month ago. So they just got around to sending an investigator up to my house on March 6, 194O.
 They sure are busy down there in the Welfare Dept. It takes about a month just to check up on one per- son. They only have about twenty five people or so working there. About half of them only work about 4 hours a day and get paid for 8 hours. So you see all the money the taxpayers in Waterbury have to pay is unnecessary. That's where the tax collector could use some of these people in the Welfare office for his office. The Tax Collector claims he needs more help in his office. I don't see why they don't get after these people that stole millions of dollars from the poor people of Waterbury. The three dollars that cannot pay this year won't help balance the budget. I wouldn't mind having one of them soft jobs in the Million Dol lars City Hall. But you see my name is not Murphy.
