The American Democratic Ma
tional Committee, which has been
opposing fourth term, announced
through its chairman today it is
prepared to support Gov. w. Bricker
of Ohio, If he is the Republican
nominee opposing President Roose-
velt.
In a press statement, DR.. Glea-
son L. Archer, chairman, said the
committee decided that the 'tonly
practical method of preventing the
reelection of President Roosevelt
and purging New Deal influence
from the Democratic party may be
to support a Republican for Presi-
dent" He said this decision was
reached In a series of regional con-
ferences.
While DR.. Archer said there was
high praise" at the regional meet
ng for Gov. Dewey of New York, the
group believed that Gov. Dewey
lacked experience and 4 political
training. He suggested that Gov.
Bricker was older and had gained
more experience in three terms as
Governor of Ohio. . - g..
Our suggestion Is to, withhold
Mr.. Dewey's nomination to 1948,
when he will be better equipped and
qualified" DR.. Archer said. 1--WE
should nominate an older and more
experienced man in 1914"

Billion Capital Asked
For Small Business
Unit as Postwar Aid
BY J. A. oLEARY.

A broad reorganization of the
Smaller War Plants Corp, with It's
capital increased from $50 ZOO, 900
to 81 l,0Oo, ,000, 600, was proposed in a
bill introduced in both branches of
Congress today to insure the sur
vival of small business enterprises
In this country after the war.
Sponsored in the Senate by Sem
ators Murray, Democrat, of Mon
tana, and Wherry, Republican. of
Nebraska, and in the House by Rep
|resentative Robinson, Democrat, of
Utah, the main features Of the
measure are:
To make the Smaller War Plants
Corp. independent of the War Pro-
duction Board, with its own chair
man. When the corporation was
created in June, 1912, its powers
were vested in the WPB.
Enable the corporation to acquire
and resell or lease to small business
the Goyernment-owned war plants
and surplus materials.
To make credit available for the
re-establishment Of small business
concerns after the war, by having
the corporation guarantee or insure
loans made by private banks.
Extend the corporations scope
from that of aiding small manu-.
featuring plants, to small distribu.
ton and service industries, which
have suffered dislocation due to wal
shortages. These would include
such distribution concerns as tires
fuel oil, radios and refrigerators.
Authorizes the granting of non.
exclusive licenses to small concerns
to use the numerous patents thai
have become the property of the
Government during the war.
Empower the corporation to make
research facilities available to small
business, not able to maintain Its
own laboratories for development
and expansion.
Creates an interdepartmenta
committee to work with the cor.
poration on small business problem,
that arise in various Federal agen.
cies, and also to give the corpora
ton representation on other Gov.
ernment boards dealing with post.

Bricker Hits New Dea
'Scarcity-of-0utput'
Farm Philosophy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, May 12.-Gov. John
w. Bricker of Ohio last night con-
demned what he termed the New
Deals farm policy of scarcity of
production and recommended re-
organization of the Department of
Agriculture.
Inc New Deal agricultural pro-
gram Is dominated by the belief that
the American farmer doesn't know
his own business" Gov. Bricker as
serted in a radio address.
The Ohio executive spoke here on
ms first stop in a three day Middle
western swing to further his cam
palgn for the Republican presiden-
tlal nomination. He also is sched-
uleo to speak in Omaha, Lincoln,
Neor', and Milwaukee.
Opposes Destruction of Food.
Gov. Bricker declared this country
raced serious food shortage even
pe1ore Pearl Harbor because "the
new Deal diagnosed the cause of
tne depression as overproduction,
and swivel-chair agriculturists in
washington launched a program of
killing pigs and plowing under corn
and wheat"
L AM opposed, in peace time as
IN war time, to destruction of food
whether by governmental planning
or incompetence" he stated.
Gov. Bricker advocated an agri-
cultural program based on unre-
stricted food production, which he
said would lend forever the New
Deal philosophy of scarcity"
The Ohio Governor declared "the
Department of Agriculture must be
restored to its intended function of
a service agency" and "the true CO.
operative system should be pro-
NOTED, not upon a subsidized basis,
but upon a sound business basis.
The whole question of diversified
ton should be studied so as to make
all sections of the country more
nearly self-supporting."
ITO accomplish these ends, a COM
plete and sweeping reorganization
of the Department of Agriculture is
imperative" he asserted.
Assails Ward Seizure.
At luncheon meeting, Gov.
Bricker referred to the recent seiz-
ure Of the Ward plant.
Removal of the Montgomery
Ward board chairman by force OF
arms and at the point Of bayonet is
un-American. But it becomes most
dangerous when the Attorney Gen.
eral Of the United States says that
no man is free" he declared.
Gov. Bricker was applauded when
he said:
II am more interested in defeat
ing the New Deal and its underlying
philosophy of absolutism-a back
wash Of alien government-than
am in being President myself. I have
dedicated myself to electing the
Republican nominee, and urge you
to give your attention to the same
necessity from now until November. /"

EIIender Says Dewey
Played Politics in
Poll Tax Statement
BY the Associated Press.

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's re-
iteration of his opposition to poll
taxes was denounced as poll
tics" by Southern Democrats
today and dismissed by Repub-
licans as unlikely to have any
effect on pending legislation to
abolish such levies.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana, fourth-term supporter
who is fighting an administration
measure to lift the poll taxes now
required by eight Southern States
in national elections, told reporters
he thought "the politician, rather
than the Governor of New York"
was speaking when Gov. Dewey an
nounced his stand.
Gov. Dewey said in telegram
yesterday to Walter White, head of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, that
Il have always fought against the
poll tax and every other device to
deprive free people of their votes"
BLENDERS Comment.
Senator Ellender said:
Il have always considered Dewey
an upstart and extremely poor tim
Der for the presidency, and his ad-
vocacy of this unconstitutional move
to abolish poll taxes confirms my es-
timation of him"
The New York Governor, who is
the leading prospect in the con-
test for the COP presinsnt4al NOM
ination, did not comply with Mr..
Whites request that he use his
strategic position" to persuade
Republican Senators to support the
repeater legislationsa Coy. Dewey
said merely that his views'son the
subject were well known and stated
them again.
Mr.. White telegraphed back that
Gov. Dewey's statement "is not
enough" and again asked the Gov
ernor to urge upon the Republican
Senators, who virtually hold the
fate of the bill in their hands, that
they vote next Monday for cloture. /"
Senator Wherry OF Nebraska, the
Republican whip, said that, with
all respect to Gov. Dewey, the Gov

Maj. Bong, PacificAce,
Back Home 10 Learn
About Shooting

Blond, snub-nosed Maj. Richard
I. Bong, Americas No. / ace COM
bat pilot in the South Pacific, is
back home ito learn something
about shooting"
Plainly at ease in the big chair
usually occupied by Secretary of
War Stimson at press conferences,
the 23-year-old flyer, who has 27
Japanese planes to his credit, yes
terday told a roomful of reporters
the gunnery training given Ameri-
can fighter pilots is good, but that
they do not get enough of it.
"The only way you can learn to
shoot is through practice" he said,
adding that he considered it "a
very big accident when I hit any
thing"
Plans Mothers Day at Home.
Despite his protestations that he's
a poor shot Maj. Bong will be as
signed as an instructor in aerial
gunnery at some air training field
after brief furlough. But first he
hopes to get home to Poplar, Wis,
in time for Mothers Day" this
Sunday, and also to see "Margie," 4"
whose picture decorated the side of
his plane.
Grinning broadly, the youthful
flyer skillfully parried questions and
tossed off wisecracks with reporters.
At one stage, when Maj. Bongs
responses to the line of questioning
threatened to give the Aviation
Corps gunnery training methods a
black eye, Col. William Westlake of
the public relations Office, inter-
vened to explain that the major
would give flyers in training the
benefit of his battle experiences.
That's what you mean, isn't II"
he asked, turning to Maj. Bong.
"Yes," the flyer replied, "if you
want to put 1t that way"
Mai. Bong said he had lot of
trouble with detection shooting,
which means leading the target, and
that all but two planes credited to
his score were bagged with straight
away blasts. In one fight his gun
barrels got so hot he was firing hot
blobs of metal in all directions in
stead of well-aimed bullets.
Scared Jap to Death"
The flyer, who practically scared
to death" one Japanese fighter,
driving him so close to the water
his wing tip caught and sent him
spinning into crash, said he didn't
think 1t was "a good idea at all" that
he would not see any more combat
flying. He isn't worried about in
creasing his score, but he would like
to fly again.
Referring to his poor" shooting,
he said If he could shoot like Mai.
George WEIGH I'D probably have
about rs planes to my credit" Mai.
WEIGH, who is from Wilmington,
Del, Is one of the first American
aces In the Pacific during the war.
Maj. WEIGH, then second lieu
tenant, drove 10 miles in an auto
mobile to get into action against
the Japanese during their sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor December 7,
1s41, and bagged 10 enemy bombers.
In five air battles he downed II
enemy planes for modern record.
Maj. Bong said he was glad Capt.
Robert S. Johnson, now in England,
had tied his record in combat in the
European theater.
TT ought to take lot of pressure,

Steel Workers Chided
BY Murray on Apathy
To Pay Demands
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 12.-Delegates
to the Clio United Steelworkers
convention adopted a resolution
yesterday supporting their own
wage demands before the War
Labor Board, but the reaction to
the resolution at first was so mega
tive that President Philip Murray
observed that "it is amazingly quiet
on the home front"
Don't you know" asked MFR.
Murray when the delegate arose to
speak, "that this Is the most inn
portant resolution that will be pre-
sented to this convention?"
He exhorted representatives to
greater interest and support, and
later the other officers and staff
members delivered pep talks.
Protests Waste of Time.
One delegate said, I'VE don't
have to be sold" on the demands
and complained that time was be-
ing wasted in "reiteration. He was
applauded when he declared that
If any delegate doesn't know what
We are after, he has no business
here" Another delegate complained
that newspapers were distorting the
steelworkers' case.
Lee Pressman, the unions gen.
eral counsel, told the convention of
"carryback" provision of the 1912
tax law under which corporations
In any two years after the war
could claim rebate, which In the
case of the United States Steel
Corp, he said, would be as high as
sec, ,000, 900 a year.
Mr.. Pressman implied that con-
spiracy Of silence existed to keep
the knowledge of the provision from
the public and that the steelwork-
ers' union discovered 1t.
"You would think" Mr.. Pressman
said, that the newspapers-who by
the way get some of this kick-back
would say something about it."
Delegates booed when he referred
to newspapers.
Labor Board Praised.
He argued that the steel corpora
ton did not need the funds for re-
conversion and that their payment
justified the unions demand for a
guaranteed annual wage. MIR.
Pressman also urged the convention
to sell businessmen and other local
| groups on the annual wage de-
mands.
David ]. Mcdonald, secretary
treasurer, told the delegates that
the steel companies, "if I anticipate
the thing correctly, are also going
to attempt to remove certain things
which we now have" He named
these as maintenance of member
ship and the checkof of union dues.
The convention also adopted q
resolution commencing the War
Labor Board and declaring that
Sewell Avery Of Montgomery. Ward
81 Co. has undertaken to destroy
the board In order, to cause. in
dustrial confusion and disruption
that would thereby result"
