To said he was proceeding with
tho approval of President Roose-
relt but did not mention any ap-
nroval from the senator's.
Ae a matter of fruitful fact
-. laugh unannounced), he at
9smpted to get the senators to
sion 4 letter to him expressing
s,,ch approval, but found them
unwilling. In parliamentary lam
guage, they are reserving the right
to object. IS
The announcement, however.
CONFIRMED to the timetable OF
peace negotiations set forth in
this column published recently,
namely, that the President con-
sidered the military situation
would be far enough advanced
by July to proceed with political
settlements.
AS to the remainder of the time
table forecast, that Mr.. Roose-
Welt would call and join meet
ing of the United Nations abroad
few months thereafter and thus
avoid direct campaining), MIR. Hull
indicated only that he would con-
suit the nations Individually at
this time, first Britain, Russia
and China, then the other Allied
nations.
Such would be the ordinary adj
vance procedure for the calling of

ference a few months hence.

Senators interested in the inter-

fumingly angry. While they have

either has chosen to disclose.
They think a basis for agree
ment has been reached and fear
they will be confronted eventual
ly with fait accompli, a complete
conclusion, which will leave them
and their views out, as far as
any practical objecting may go.
This is why McCarran without
explanation, split his postwar air
bill into two parts the other day.
Apparently he intends to save the
domestic part of it, even if the
International part is lost.
1t might also partly explain
mis- unusual severity of language in
criticizing the Presidents lack of
power in the Montgomery Ward
seizure. ..
The reports about Governor
Bricker breaking with Governor
DeWey at every opportunity dur
ing the Harrisburg governors con-
ference were not as surprising as
they might seem.
The Bricker people privately
claim to have more than 200
delegates which would be roughly
less than one-fourth of the nomin-
ating convention strength. They
came in here and set up cam
palgn headquarters under the
management of the well-known
Omo newspaper publisher, Roy
y Moore, after Dewey had re-
wed his unexpected success in
fne Wisconsin primary and had
caused the withdrawal of Wallkie.
Inc way they figure, the large
number OF uninstructed delegates
oelng counted for Dewey and the
relatively small number pledged
ior him, makes this even yet an
open campaign for the nomination.
VI course, no one actually

But in this case, none of the
n leaders in the Republican
party mas come out against Dewey
ss.a no anti-Dewey organizational
e eaorts within the party have APP
seared. Opposition is simply not
apparent.
mus, while the bulk is un-
psused, a few authorities con-
Due! the race as open as the
nricker people do.
