Senator Walsh expressed himself
as entirely satisfied. feel the
platform meets the requirements Of
myself and every group in the
United States interested in keeping
us out of war"
Senator Wheeler spoke similarly
OF his full satisfaction" with a
'very good" pronouncement on for
eign relations.
A strongly worded Endorsement
Of the Tennessee Valley Authority
and OF public ownership of utilities
Is among the other major provisions
OF the platform. Included, too, is a
reaffirmation Of the principles of

they were informed that the final
answer was mo-" Led by Repre-
sentative Ryan of Minnesota, they
had been button-holing members
before the committee met. Re-
buffed, they. too, indicate a fight
on the floor.
The deepest feeling yet observed
at this relatively lethargic conven-
ton was being displayed by the
rebel group outside the committee
room. Serving as spokesman, at
first was Representative Ryan, a
former law partner of Minnesota s
Republican Governor, Harold E.
Stassen.
A delegate from his State, Mr..
Ryan assailed last nights state
ment by President Roosevelt as a
confession of error in strategy and
went on:
Delegates who came here in
structed to support a third term
cannot now be expected to reverse
the whole course of events of the
last year as directed by the Ickes-
Corcoran Cohen Hopkins clique.
Democratic principles have been
denied the Democratic party.
This convention has been taken
out of the hands of Jim Farley and
railroaded from the start. The dele
gates have had no part in the de-
examinations of the convention. The
Kelly-Nash machine engineered a
bogus demonstration to further in
timidate the delegates last night.
Let no one be deceived, the real
sentiment here is anti-third term If
the delegates were allowed to speak
the thoughts in their hearts"
Kirby Vidrine, Arizona alternate
declared a third term would be ''the

beginning of the end. Wendell Will
kie would be elected"
r. H. Anderson, Florida delegate,
warned that a third term nomina-
ton will cost many votes in Flor
Ida"
Mrs. Arthur D. Condor Of the Dis
trict of Columbia delegation took
her place on the Platform Commit
tee today as women from all the
States and territories assumed their
new convention privilege.
Although no official advance an
nouncement has been made of the
content of the platform, it is under
stood that the important foreign
affairs plank contains a pledge that
no American armed forces of any
classification shall be sent across the
seas, declares for aiding the demo-
cratic victims of totalitarian agrees
sion. but strictly within our neu-
trality statutes, and pledges defense
Of the Monroe Doctrine. The latter
pledge, incidentally, would qualify
the first one to the extent of per-
mitting the use of United States
forces outside the country's own linn

sphere.
Wallace Rebuffed on Britain.
A much more extreme plank In
the direction of national defense

drafting group by Secretary of Ag-

but on each occasion was rejected
convincingly.
The second attempt was made
after the cabinet officer had been IN
touch with Washington by the con-
venient telephone switchboard in
the Blackstone Hotel suite of Sec
retary of Commerce Hopkins, two
floors above quarters used by the
committee.
A somewhat lesser victory for the
nOn-intervention group headed by
Senators McCarran, Wheeler and
Walsh was the omission of a plank
indorsing peacetime military con-
scription.
In the light of President Roose-
velt's deep personal convictions of
this entire issue of foreign policy
and national defense, his renom-
ination for a third term might be
followed by qualified rejection OF
this whole section of the platform.

the Bay State standard, which
finally was carried triumphantly
aloft in the parade.
Texans Stand Firm.
The Texas delegation was made
of sterner stuff. The delegates have
been pledged to Mr.. Garner and a
majority of them take the pledge
seriously. So when a Texas stand
ard was seized and it's holders started
in the parade, other Texans jumped
on the bearers and pulled the stand
ard down and tore the Texas"
name away.
Robert E. Cunningham, a delegate
from Ell Paso. was particularly effec-
tive. Three times, as Texans favor
able to the Roosevelt nomination
passed the bloody corner" where he
was standing, he jumped into the air
and dragged the standard down. In
the final instance the fighting was
fierce, and 1t took four policemen to
stop it, most of them attempting
to take Mr.. Cunningham out of the
conflict. Not a Texas standard,
however, escaped him.
The Missouri banner, guarded by
Senator Clark, remained unmovable
as the parade proceeded. Nor did
the Montana delegation join in the
parade. 1t is instructed to vote for
Senator Wheeler.
Melvyn Douglas on Hand.

Finally Senator Barkley announced
from the platform that woman
had been seriously injured and
called for a doctor. That brought
an end to the demonstration. In
quiry developed, however, that the
injured woman did not go to the
first aid room and apparently had
vanished.
There were reports that Mayor
Kelly Of Chicago had something
to do with staging these demonstra-
tions. But whether he did or not
it was perfectly clear that the great
mass of delegates are here to vote
for the denomination of President
Roosevelt.

Draft Invitation Seen.
Despite the strong terms of the
Presidents message last night, it was
interpreted here as a draft invi-
tation. Had the President deter
mined not to accept a nomination
at the hands of the convention and
not to run, it would have been a
simple matter for him to have sent
that message to the convention. He
did not do so. And the delegates
are confident he will accept.
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins
followed Senator Barkley's an
nouncement quickly with declara-
ton that Il have known for months
that the President did not want to
run again."
Predicting that he will consent
to make the race, however, the
cabinet officer added: "Mr. Roose-

delegates but, what is far more i'm

LYONS Worms OF Attacks
On Rights Of Workers

New York, n. Y.-Thomas J. Lyons,
president of the New York State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, told the conference
on labor and defense at the Rand
School that workers must be on guard
against attempts to deprive them of
their rights and legitimate gains in
the various industrial activities Of the
defense program.
Pointing out that labor is a vital
factor in defense, with success or
failure depending upon the coopera-
tion of labor, Mr.. Lyons said that no
A. F. of L. union had conducted a
strike against defense industries, but
had effected compromises of differ
ences. Labor is ready and eager to
make sacrifices for defense, because
it is thoroughly sold on democracy"
he declared, but he added there were
others who were seeking to sabo-
tage labor's rights and gains"
