Sufferers Now Cured
By Initiating Themselves
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. July 15.-A psyche
logical method of curing sturrerers,
mainly by teaching them to initiate
themselves, was reported here today
by DR.. Harry M. Case of the Uni
versity of California.
Ten persons who completed a
full eight-month course Of treat
ment were discharged as COM
pletely cured" .a.. ......-
The treatment consists of giving
the patient negative practice" and
of eliminating from his sphere OF
consciousness any social or voca-
tional EMBELLISHMENTS that might
have fostered the speech impedi-
ment.
Negative practice is the training
Of a person to do voluntarily some
thing that he ordinarily does only
involuntarily. The patients, DR..
Case said. were taught to stutter
voluntarily.
That gave them the faculty for
initiating themselves. and at the
same time the power to refrain
from initiating themselves, wnion
meant the ability to avoid the for
mer habit"
Evening star., 1940-07-15

there ought to be something to make
a fuss about-but it is difficult to see
any resemblance between this and
any other convention that used to be
held by the Democratic party or any
other party.
Nearly all the members of the
cabinet are here-that is, the Demo-
cratic members and the former Re-
publicans like Wallace and Ickes.
Besides the cabinet number OF the
Assistant Secretaries are conspicuous
as are also plenty of administration
Senators and Representatives from
Capitol Hill and-believe it or not
a couple utility holding company
executives. Yes, and neither one OF
them has on Willkie button. In
fact one of them is part of the board
of strategy conducting the Presi-
dents affairs here. Names will be
furnished only to the Senate Investi-
eating Committee.
But what is the convention about?
Strangely enough, one hears very
little about the third term. 1t seems
to have vanished from the minds OF
the delegates. It has been oblit-
Grated by elf-hypnotism or some
thing. 1t simply isn't there and
about the only mention of it comes
from an occasional wag who wants
to know what the convention Is
going to do about a fourth term.
Third Term Still Worries.
Yet it would be q mistake to give
the impression that the third term
isn't a bit of worry. This comes
out when delegates, converSing with
newspaper folks, ask opinions about
the outcome. Will the third-term
issue cut into the Democratic vote?
Is Willkie losing ground because he
is wise cracking too much? Is the
country really interested in making
q change in government?
Questions like these are popped
about in the hotel corridors as the
politicians gather for the quadren-
nial conclave. And fundamentally
these queries are answered by the
New Dealers with feeling of con-
fidence. They are somewhat con-
cerned about the outcome, but they
honestly believe nobody can beat
Roosevelt. Otherwise they never
would be nominating him.
MIR. Roosevelt is popular not as
the gallant figure of eight years ago,
but as a party chief who has COM
manded certain things even though
these are against the better judg-
ment of the practical political lead
ers. If a secret ballot of the dele
gates we're taken, they would admit
the third-term issue is dangerous
one and they would prefer to nomi-
nate some one else.
Must Define DELEGATE"
Such a statement, however, re-
quires that the word delegate" be
defined. The hand-picked admins
tration delegates are for Roosevelt
for q third term or a fourth term
They want him continued in power
because it means they themselves
will be continued in power directly
or indirectly. But the older dele
gates, the independent delegates,
those who are involuntarily a part of
the administration-con units
but who really would like to break
loose and cast an independent vote
they wonder If this kind of a con-
vention will keep the Democratic
party intact very long or split it of
into factions.
The hx-it-up spirit, of course, is

in the air. Talk is heard of making
Jack Garner the vice presidential
nominee and thus persuading Jim
Farley to remain as national chair
man to manage the campaign. 1t
wouldn't be at all surprising to the
sponsors of such harmony idea
to have it materialize, for they be-
lieve neither Mr.. Garner nor Mr..
Farley will stand by their principles
or convictions, but will reverse their
stand of these last few months in
grand flourish of statements
about the war having created q
new emergency. But in and around
the town here are many observers
who have a feeling that Messrs.
Jack Garner and Farley didn't take
a position on principle and endure
the contemptuous comments of the
New Dealers these last few months

Mexican Roll Workers
To Get Wage Reduction
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. July 15.-The
$4,000 employees of Mexico's National
Railways must accept general wage
reduction totaling 100000 pesos
($360.00O a month to save the lines

told yesterday by their General
Executive Committee.
: The committee asserted the rail-
ways had accumulated a debt of

President Cardenas appropriated

But anything may happen in this

imponderables will weigh heavily In
the decision. Invincible in Novem-
! Der as Roosevelt's supporters believe
him to be, they are concerned to
bulwark the ticket in every possible
way. Viewing Willkie as the strong
est man the Republicans could have
nominated, and a very genuine
threat, the Presidents friends realize
the necessity Of matching every vote
pulling element personified by the
G. o. P. ticket. From a strictly
party standpoint, Rooseveltians rec
ognize, first of all. the need Of a
| vice presidential candidate who will
conciliate the old-line Democratic
stalWarts who burn no New Deal
incense. This consideration elimi-
| mates Supreme Court Justice Doug
las, said now to be definitely out
of the picture. Conversely, it turns
the limelight on eligibles like Sem
ators Jimmie Byrnes and Alben
Barkley. Secretary Hull would ad-
mirably fill the bill, but he's ada
mant in refusing to consider either
place. though ardent hackers believe
the Tennessean could be drafted.
The Business Angle.
Second only to the urgency OF
balancing a Roosevelt-headed ticket
so as to mollify Democratic non
New Dealers is the Importance OF
salving the wounds of business,
which has taken it on the chin at
Washington during the past seven
years. WILKES nomination is an
outright bid for the support Of
finance, commerce and industry. AS
CAPITAL officialdom during the week
end trekked Chicagoward in serried
ranks, the feeling mounted that a
Democrat who Is both an old-line
party man and businessman would
make an ideal Roosevelt tail-ender.
Jesse Jones name was on many
lips in this connection, along with
that OF Gov. Stark of Missouri. Yet
another to-beat- Willkie factor with
the Democrats Is the veterans vote.
Three "availables" for second place
are ex-service men, like Willkie,
besides having geographical eligi-
bility - Stark, Senator Lucas and
Paul McNutt. Lucas Is past 1lli-
nois department commander Of the
American Legion, and four-term
past national judge advocate, Nc
Mutt an ex-national commander.
President himself, anxious for party
unity in the campaign and for party
success in November, is believed to
have adjured the third-term high
command at Chicago to bear all Of
these exigencies in mind.

Ship On April 2

LONDON, Dec. 1.-R-The sub
marine Triad is overdue and must
be considered lost, the admiralty
announced tonight.
The Triad, one of Britain's Triton
class, displaced 1,090 tons on the
surface and carried a normal COM
plement of So men. Officially de-
scribed as a patrol type for gen.
eral service, the Triad was a Sis
tership of the Thetis, which foun-
dered on a trial dive June l, 1889.
The communicate gave no de-
tails of the submarines loss.
The Triad penetrated Oslo Fjord
and torpedoed and sank a 4,0O0-ton
supply ship on April 2.
Nine days later she attacked a
convoy of supply ships and two tor
pedoes found their mark.
