 Government ]

CHICAGO, Ill, June 27.-Repre- sentative Joseph w. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts, took up the gavel as permanent Chairman of the Re- publican National Convention with the declaration his party will save the constitutional government at home and build an enduring peace,p
 Martin, minority leader of the House, told the delegates the day of reckoning" is at hand for the New Deal because the people are tired of bungling, fumbling, waste, extravaganza, arrogance, and btt- reaucratic dictatorship"

 The Chairman also said I've have seen the head of the Communist political party in this country. Earl Browder, merge his party with Sid- ney Hillman's CIO Political Action Committee in a drive for a fourth term for President Roosevelt and electing a Congress that will be subservient to the will of those orr ganizations."

GOV. WARREN BEING URGED, DEWEY MATE
New York Governor May Fly to Chiedgo-Foreign
 Plank Approved

CHICAGO STADIUM, June 27.- Gov Earl Warren of California, who as keynoter of the Republican Ma tional Convention last night de- clared the country is tired of "bu- reaucracy" and a change is certain to come next November, is being pushed toward decision for the Vice-Presidential choice.
 In Albany, Gov Thomas F. Dewey assured of the Presidential nomina- tion, is reported making preparations to come here on short notice, pos sibly tomorrow, to accept. Many more votes than required, 529, are already assured
 The Platform Committee has ap- proved of the foreign plank re- taining the pledge criticized by Willkie and Is Republican Govern ors, to enforce world security by an international organization employ ing peace forces" The criticism of the Governors was that the lan- guage is mot sufficiently plain
 A promise the Republicans will bend all efforts to bring home mem- bers of the armed forces lat the earliest possible time after cessa- ton of hostilities,g is also inserted in the platform as a plank.
 Gov. Warren's own California delegation is urging him to accept the nomination for the Vice-Presi- dency, if offered.
 Forces of Gov John w. Bricker of Ohio are still fighting for him and contend that the "steamroller tactics by the Dewey camp" are reacting in a form of expressions of interest for support to the Ohioan

WILLkIE |S 0pp05ED TO
 COP POLICY
Says All United Nations Must Have Share in
 Shaping Future

NEW YORK, June Wendell L. Willkie expressed his opposition to the proposed foerign policy plank formed at the Republican conven- tion in Chicago.
 The 1940 presidential nominee declared, "The net result will be nc international organization no ef- fective force for the suppression of aggression, no. peaceful world, an- other world war fought in vain, and the youth of America once more betrayed"
 Willkie demanded the immediate creation of council of the United Nations as the first step in the formation of a general interna- tional organization in order that all peoples of the United Nations have a voice in the decisions which will shape the future world.
 These decisions should not and must not be made by the three or four great powers alone" said Will kie.

 Merry Co., Round
--- 7-- 7-l71 . --T- By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert s. Allen now on activ
 service with the Army)

CHICAGO-In many ways this convention seems out of place, un- real. Here are hotels along Michl- gan Boulevard which, just few months ago, were leased by the Army and crammed with soldiers; now they are crammed with poli- tical delegates.
 Across one ocean, men are bat tling on the Cherbourg Peninsula after a landing that seemed almost impossible. Across the other, the U. s. Navy is edging closer to Japan than anyone dreamed would be pos sible at this time News Of the war pushes news of the convention to one side, makes the clash of personalities, the ebb and flow of political rivalry seem petty in the face of death.
 Some delegates whisper half-jok- ingly that perhaps Franklin D. Roosevelt scheduled the second front and the Pacific battles pur- posely to push the COP conven- ton out of the headlines, though actually they rejoice at the victor ies and know that weather, our allies, and military factors-not politics-shape the decisions.
 But though this convention seems incongruous, in reality it is a trib- ute to the strength of American democracy. Perhaps no other coun- try would dare try to weather a wartime election. Britain has ad- journed politics, so has Latin Am erica. Canada has held only pro- vincial elections. Four years ago, certain newspapers predicted that Roosevelt would never permit an- other election until the war was over. But now the first hop in electing a President has begun.
 Furthermore, what this conven- tion does, no matter how incongru- ous on the surface, actually will help to shape the destinies of the nation. The Republican platform how far it goes regarding inter national cooperation, to say noth- ing of the candidate selected, will help to shape not only the na- tion's next four years, but prob- ably the peace of the next genera tion.

CHICAGO, June 27.-Arriving to address the Republican national convention, Herbert Hoover said he would participate vigorously in the election campaign.
 I'm going to stay in this fight until die," the only living former President told newspapermen as he stepped off the train, lin the fight for everything precious to the Am erican people" A8
 Hoover would not say whether he expected to barnstorm on the Republican ticket, but left no doubt he will contribute all his energies to the Republican campaign.
 Asked about Wendell Willkie's criticism of the foreign. affairs plank in the preliminary draft of the platform, the former President commented: "The platform as far as I have seen, is in the right d- rection, and that includes the for eign plank"

they were on plane that dropped parachutists south of Cherbourg on D-Day. On the return journey they were caught by heavy flax and were forced down. The airmen set fire to their plane and most of the equipment and hid in a ditch until the next morning when they ac- costed a French maid and told here they were Americans. The girl, Wills related, immediately left for help and brought wine and food and found hiding place in haystack where they remained for few days. Members of the French underground took the Americans to their homes and kept them hid.

By JACK sTINNETT

DENVER, June 27.-The way my history book reads. states rights haven't been worth fioot politic- ally since just after the Civil War As a political issue they haven't even been a good red herring.
 I'm not sure that they are now but after swing around the coun- try from Washington, D. C., to the west coast and this far back can't believe that there has been any time since the reconstruction era when both politicians and for ward looking citizens have beer more wrought up over the rights of the states as opposed to the power taken over by the Federal Government than they are today.
 In the grass roots, the farmers
 especially the large scale opera tors-are grumbling over price con- trols, labor shortages, farm ma chinery shortages, the federal tax program, and the endless reports and investigations to which they are subjected.
 In the industrial areas around Ithe Great Lakes and east and west, industry is bucking the War Labor Board, priorities, the War Man power Commission, federal taxes, endless reports, and several other Government wartime controls.
 In California there's storm over the acreage limitation on farms in the central valley which are to participate in the federal irrigation projects and more particularly re- gently over Bureau of Reclama- tion questionnaire that went to all farmers in the area, asking five solid pages of questions, dealing with everything from previous ser vitude to present "ethnics."
 Here in Colorado and in many other states whose little rivers feed the navigable waterways of the na- tion there's great anger over con- trol of water rights. Republican Gov. John c. Vivian took the mat ter to the annual conference of governors in Hershey, Pa; it was his big speech, and according to reports here, well applauded. His theme was simply "if the Federal Government can control the waters of the nation, affecting property rights long recognized as state functions, it can take over every activity within our states and thus render impotent and useless our state constitutions, bills of rights, and our court decrees."
 Those are strong words, but for the first time in many years, they are making political hay.
