PHILADELPHIA.-The whole story of the
fight in the committee which framed the G.. o.
P. platform may never be told outside OF the
inner party councils. But one of the biggest
battles-which the committeemen called "a
misunderstanding after they had Gained
down-came over the burning question of put
ting into the plank on national defense a half
dozen words to the general effect that the
mothers of America don't want their sons to
die on the battlefields of Europe.

~ignation of ex-senator George Wharton Pepper
of Pennsylvania, when C. Wayland Curly)
Brooks of Illinois threatened to take ia the con-
vention floor his fight for inclusion of the sons
and-mothers phrase.
Actual drafting of the plank was mainly the
work of Senator Pepper, veteran of many of
the G. o. P.'s inner wars.
STRONGER PLANK
NEARLY WON
Judge King Swope of Kentucky declared
that the projected plank was altogether too
short and simple, and demanded inclusion of
a ringing phrase dealing with the mothers.
their sons and the battlefields.
The argument in the subcommittee dr.a,a
this plank went on for hours. The full platform
committee, headed by Herbert K. HYDE Of Ok
lahoma, was debating other things in its spa-
clous quarters on the roof of the Bellevue

Brooks took up the fight for it-threatened to
take the issue to the convention floor.
What to do?
PARTY'S ELDERS =
PREVAIL
The convention, waiting for a platform it
could adopt before it should pick a candidate,
Cancelled its morning session. Pepper, tired
from the long siege, walked out of the commit
tee room and threatened to resign.
When word of this deadlock got to the ears of
the elder statesmen, important telephones be-
gan to ring. People like Joe Pew of Pennsyl-
vanla were called into quell the disturbers,
persuade Pepper not to resign, and talk Brooks
out of taking the fight to the convention floor.
Having Cancelled it's morning session. the
convention had to be adjourned again when it's
afternoon session met. This was over the wish
es of the delegates themselves, who wanted to
get on with picking a candidate. But-no plat
form, no session.
1t finally ended happily, of course. The par
tvs elders prevailed, and the defense plank
didn't mention the mothers and SONS.

The deadlock left the loop stand

Friday nights game brought to-
gether pair of evenly matched
teams with CaleXico outgaining the
Wildcats 1913 yards to 126 yards
from the line of scrimmage. Braw-
ley, however, had the edge in first
downs, to 4.
Calexico dominated the first half
play, twice threatening to score
and Brawley took over in the sec
ond half, moving into the shadows
of the Calexico goal posts on two
occasions.
The game developed into duel
between Lauro Andrade, Calexico
backfield ace. and Johnny Williams
Negro speedster from Barwley-and
neither was able to gain an ad-

Turnac said it would be neces-
sary to SOW additional rye in most
of the green's.
Meanwhile, there was no doubt
but that the Barbara Worth course
was in the best condition in many
years. Irrigation was completed
this week during which the entire
course was flooded. Turnac pointed
out that the inconvenience of clos
ing part of the course once month
for flooding should be far out
weighed by the advantage of hav-
ing a deep fairway mat. He esti-
mated that flooding once a month
should not interfere with play more
than a day or two.

Williams intercepted Rivera's toss

Johnny Williams of Brawley was
the outstanding running back of
the ball game and Lauro Andrade,
still nursing a bruised shoulder,
was close second. Burnett, Minter

creditable performances and White,

Holtville and Imperial eac n
