committee members when his name
was reached on the roll call for a
forum. When he was requested by
Chairman Farley to address the
meeting, the Vice President rose and
smilingly bowed to the committee
members who were all on their feet
applauding. He then sat down.
Oliver A. Quayle, jr., acting treas
urer, reported that the committee
debt on December 81, 1899, stood at
S250,000. He said that receipts from
the Jackson Day dinners already
have passed the 100000 mark and

A resolution was proposed provid-

territories and the District of Co.
lumbia in the coming national con-
vention shall be 1,100, the same as
in the convention of 1886. The
District of Columbia will have six
delegates under this apportionment.
The resolution also urged that there
be no fractional votes. in other
words that only one delegate shall
be selected for each place in the
convention. The resolution was re-
ferred to the Committee on Resolu-
tions.
Another resolution, offered by
Charles Sawyer, committeeman from
Ohio, proposed that the Committee
on Platform and Resolutions of the
national convention be composed of
two members from each State, ter
ritory and the District and that one
of them should be a woman. The
resolution was seconded by Mrs.
Thomas F. McAllister, director of
the Women's Division of the Ma
tional Committee. 1t too was re-
ferred to the Committee on Resolu-
tions.
After listening to brief report
by l.. w. Robert, jr., secretary of
the committee, the committee took
a recess.
Mr.. Quayle's report led to an
adoption of resolution authorizing
Chairman Farley to make him
treasurer, instead of acting treas
urer.
Will Bid up to S235, 900.
Mrs Lucretia Grady, California
committeewoman, reported that San
Francisco would bid up to $235 900
for the convention. Philadelphia
interests were ready to offer certi-
fled check for $125 900, and it was
considered likely that this offer
would be increased.
Chicago representatives would only
reiterate that they would make a
reasonable Offer"
Mr.. Farley appointed resolutions
committee composed of David E.
Fitzgerald of Connecticut, Lynn
Brodrick of Kansas and Mrs. Will
liam H. Good of New York.
Third-term sentiment was noted
among many of the national COM
mitteemen and committeewomen
from the 48 States and the Terri
tories, particularly in the Western
groups. No one, however, would say
whether a resolution would be
offered indorsing President Roose-
velt for denomination.
Hotel lobbies buzzed with political
talk, with almost every committee
member asking the same question,
will the President run again?"
Mr.. Roosevelt was at his home

business is over and when individu-

France Adds Protest
On Railway Bombing

TOXIC, Feb. 5 [P)s--France was
reported reliably today to have
added her voice to United States
representations against japanese
bombing of the French-operated
Hanoi i-Kunming railway in South

The French Ambassador, Charles
Arsene Henry, in a meeting with
Vice Foreign Minister Masayuki

the United States Embassy, last
Thursday delivered a note charg-
ing that aerial attacks on the
railway endangered American ship
ments and "inconvenienced" Amer
leans residing at Chungking.
Railway Bombed Several Times.
The railway had been bombed
several times in the past on the
grounds that it serves the central
Chinese government at Chungking
by carrying munitions. The French
have denied this.
Suma said, The American repre-
sentations contain many points
which the government is studying
from a legalistic viewpoint"
He denied reports that undis-
ciplined military authorities were
responsible for the raids. He added
that the Japanese government
fully indorses" the operations and
said they will continue so long as
there is military necessity"
Still undisposed of was a French
protest of January 5 against earlier
raids on the railway AS Suma said,
there had been no satisfactory re-
suits" on this complaint.

question-Japans protest to Great
Britain over the January 20 seizure
Of 81 German seamen from a Japan
ese liner-it was learned the ex-
change of notes was scheduled for

lister of Foreign Affairs Masayuki
TAM conferred Yesterday with T T,
Dodds, counselor of the British en-
bassy, and authoritative sources
said they discussed final details" of
an expected settlement.
The negotiations were believed to
have pivoted on japanese insistence

Balkan Countries

By the Associated Press.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Feb. s.
Rumania, Greece, Turkey and Yugo-
slavia have extended their entente
for seven years, pledging continuance
of their present neutral status $50 as
to preserve this part of Europe from
the trials Of war"
Ending a three-day conference
last night, Balkan entente diplomats
set out for their capitals, each de-
termined to WORK out relations with
larger powers and one another on
an individual basis.
No Guarantees Given.
The conference, called to seek con-
crete ways of barring war from
Southeastern Europe, was believed
by most foreign observers to have
failed to unite the four nations ex-
cept for broadly-worded decisions on
neutrality, independence and promo
ton of trade within the entente.
There were no absolute guar
antees. Rumania, caught in the
allied German trade pincers, was
seen by neutral observers as failing
in her aim to turn the entente into
military alliance to assure assist
ance in case Of German or Soviet
Russian threats to her independence.
The partners, however, declared
their will to remain united within
the entente" and Ito watch in COM
mon over the safeguarding Of the
rights of each of them to independ-
ence and to national territory"
6 Points in Communique.
A communique said the conference
recognized:
Il The common interests Of the
four states in the maintenance Of
peace, order and security in South
eastern Europe.
20. Their firm decision to
maintain strictly their positions in
regard to the present conflict so as
to preserve this part of Europe from
The JTlalS II war.
"3. Their will to remain within
the entente to watch in COM
mon over the safeguarding of the
rights of each of them to inde-
pendence and to national territory.
a Their sincere desire to keep
and develop friendly relations with
neighboring states.
IS. The necessity Of tightening and
perfecting economic and communi-
cation bonds among the Balkan
states in organizing commercial
exchange inside the entente
IS. Prolongation of the Balkan
pact for seven years, beginning Oc-
tober 2, 1941."
To Maintain Close Contact.
The ministers, the communique
said, agreed to keep in close con-
tact" until the next ordinary ses-
sion of the permanent council at
Athens in February, 194l.
Yugoslav Foreign Minister Ak
sander Cincar- -Markovich was ex-
pected to confer with Italy soon to
initiate Rome's role as Intermediary

Good Runoff At

Census Figures
Show Coolidge
Population 1859
Now Larger Than Any
Other Town In
County

Coolidge's unofficial 1910 popu-
lation figure will be 1859 accord
ing to word received from Wash
ington, d. c., by Mr.. J. J. Jones.
Some weeks ago additional data
and information regarding the
census taken here was sent to
Sen. Carl Hayden. Don A. Gustin,
assistant secretary to Senator
Hayden, referred the matter to
Mr.. w. L. Austin, director of the
bureau of the census, who report
ed as follows:
"An inspection of the schedules
for the enumeration districts which
include the unincorporated place
of Coolidge, Ariz., shows as 1910
population of 1859. Because of
the non-existence of corporate
limits, the boundaries of unin-
corporated places are difficult to
determine.
'It is possible that individuals
may have been included In the CEN
sus of Coolidge who have lived be-
yond the boundaries, while others
living within the boundaries may
have been excluded. Therefore
the above figure must be consider
ed unofficial, due to the fact that
the beginning and the ending Of
the enumeration of Coolidge was
not always clearly marked"
This figure makes Coolidge the
largest town in Pinal county, fol-
lowed by Superior, Casa Grande
and Florence, the county seat.
