Republican Ticket
Is More Uncertain
Than Democrats
Even Third-1erm Foes
Concede Nomination
To Roosevelt
BY the Associated Press.

~
The. last month Of delegate
choosing for the presidential nont-
mating conventions opened today
with tire Republican ticket, in the
minds Of most politicians, much
more uncertain than that Of the
party In power.
Even opponents Of a third term
for President Roosevelt are be-
ginning to announce openly their
conviction that the Chief Execu-
tives denomination is inevitable
unless he stops It,
With more than a majority OF
the Democratic delegates already in
the Presidents column, congress
sional Democrats are talking-when
not about defense-of who might
get the vice presidential nomination,
assuming Mr.. Roosevelt agrees to
run.
Dewey Has Most Pledges.
In Republican ranks, however, the
consensus is that anything may
happen at the party's convention,
particularly in view of the large
block of delegates already chosen
who have announced allegiance to
no candidate.
Thomas E. Dewey, New York dis
tr1ct attorney, leads in pledged and
semipledged delegates with $50,
excluding upwards of 10 his man
ayers have claimed for him in the
disputed New York delegation Of 90.
Despite the Dewey lead, Senator
TAFT OF Ohio, who has Sc delegates
openly in his camp, continues to
assert he will have greater strength
than Mr.. Dewey at the start Of the
convention, because uninstructed
delegates will flock to his banner.
Others who have delegate support
Tor the Republican nomination are
Senators Vandenberg of Michigan,
McNary Of Oregon and Capper of
Kansas, and Hanford MacNider of
Iowa, former American Legion COM
mander Wendell L. Willkie, util-
ltles executive, also is gaining some
hackers, but as yet has no definitely
pledged f1rst-ballot votes.
See Vice Presidential Bid.
Much of the Democratic vice
presidential talk continues to cen.
ter around Senator Byrnes of South
Carolina. Many Senators inter-
preted Paul v. McNutt's statement
that the President should be renom-
mated as a vice presidential bid BY
the Federal Security administrator.
Senator Cotton Ed" Smith. DEM
ocrat, Of South Carolina, vigorous
opponent of third term, told re-
porters yesterday: "It now seems
inevitable" that President Roose-
velt will be renominated.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, supporter of Senator
Wheeler for the presidential nomi-
nation, said in another interview
that "only two men now can prevent
Roosevelt's renomination-the Pres
1dent by withdrawing and Hitler by
stopping the war"
The Republicans will complete
their convention roster Of 1000 this
week with the selection of eight del
egates at large from Illinois.
The Democrats have 322 more to
name. Next week will see 16 chosen
IN Connecticut. 20 in Louisiana and
six in the District of Columbia.
Their convention total will be 1904.

ANSONIA, Conn, June L.
The spadefoot toad chorus from
Ansonia, once as famous here
abouts as the anvil chorus from
I'll Trovatore" (but SO differenD.
returned last night to plague
anew this city. Sleepless and
unnerved, Ansonia spent $4,000
several years ago on a drainage
project in a desperate effort to
silence the raucous discord for
ever, at least.
Recent heavy rains re-filled
the pond basin which had served
as the breeding place. Scores
of battrachians, known to
science as scaphiopus holbrookii,
quickly found out about it. So

Barnes Killed in Bomber Crash
After Drawing Lot for Trip
u. S. News Writer
Victim of Wreck
In Greek War
BY LELAND STOWE.

Chicago Daily News War Correspondent.
ATHENS, Nov. 20.-Ralph w.
Barnes of the New York Herald
Tribune, for 10 years one OF the
ablest foreign correspondents in Eu-
rope and the first American news
paperman to lose his life since the
European conflict began, was cited
in an official British air force CON-
munique at noon today as killed III
action while carrying out his duties
as war correspondent"
Mr.. Barnes died with the entire
crew Of Royal Air Force bomber
when 1t crashed near the Yugoslav-
Albanian border some time before
daybreak Monday. In common with
other accredited correspondents who
arrived from the Near East with the
British forces and applied to go on
night raid, Barnes turn was de-
cided by lot and he left on the last
flight on Sunday night. He was AZ
years old.
These brief facts cannot begin to
intimate the position which Ralph
Barnes had earned among cabinet
ministers, diplomats and journalists
of all nationalities in Europe, nor
can anything that his friends and
colleagues write adequately express
the loss to American journalism
which his death represents.
Went to Paris in 1926.
1t would be easier for me to 60
on a bombing raid tonight than
to write this dispatch. Barnes had
| been one of my closest and most
loyal friends ever since we began
newspaper work abroad together in
Paris, in 1926.
Barnes was an Oregonian, tall aSpd
big, and contagiously Western in
his outspokenness. His earnestness
and high intelligence always i'm
pressed people, while his boyish
spontaneity and good nature always
won him friends with amazing ra-
pidity. In whatever post he served,
he was Immediately respected,
whether by Fascist officials, by So
Wet bureaucrats, by Nazi generals.
or by statesmen in Britain and
other countries of Europe. He was
relentlessly hard fighter to get
where there was news, and get it
out. Once, years agoIh completely

He was always like that, building

that army orders had closed it to
