YONAI DFOUM NEW
 CABINET

Emperor Hirohito today commissioned General Kuni- aka KoisO and former Pre- mier Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai. both known to be friendly toward the United States before Pearl Harbor, to form a new Japanese cab inet in succession to that of General Hideki Tojo, which resigned en bloc after con- fessing it could not win the war.
 Announcement by the off, ficial Japanese Domei News Agency that two political ''moderateS" had been en- trusted with the organization of a new government con- firmed that the extremist military clique which put TOjO in power and engineered the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor had lost control Of Japan.
 The move was regarded as the first step toward an ultimate Jap- anese attempt to win a negotiated peace, though no immediate peace bid was anticipated.
 Sources familiar with the Jap- anese political situation suggested the new cabinet would attempt 10 intensity the Japanese war effort. then give way to another govern ment within the next few months as American successes in the Pacific mount. Only when a wholly civilian government comes into power, these sources believed, will Japan make real effort to withdraw from the waF.

 Chicago Stadium. July 20-UP) The Democratic National cOnven- ti0n nenominateS President Roose- welt today for a fourth term amid bitter party disputes on the vice presidency and charges of boss control.
 Mr. Roosevelt Will accept tlaa nomination in a radio address to' aight. His voice may calm the storm which threatens to weaken the Nez Deal Democratic coalition of 1886 and i0a0 in this campaign year
 Some of the presidents closest political associates here have fallen out and are beginning to call each other names. Southern leaders met in rebellious conferences last night and broke up. apparently frustrated both as to their objectives and methods of achieving them. Prinei- pally they wanted to scuttle vice president Henry A. Wallace and put up 8 southerner for his el5,O00-a- year job.
 Wallace still is likely to be scut- tied in his contest with Sen. Harry s. Truman Of Missouri, who has some kind of White House accept ance and the support of some Of the big party bosses here. But putting a s0utherner on the ticket this year does not seem likely at the momept.
