French Pledge Freedom
For News Agency
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALGIERS, July 22.-Henry Bon
net, information minister of the
French Committee of National Lib
Grafton, said yesterday that Agence
Francaise de Press. now subsidized
by the committee, would be returned
to the control of French newspapers
as soon as conditions within France
permit.
He said the committees June q
decree designating Agence Fran
caise as the only authorized news
distributing agency in France was
apparently misunderstood abroad y
He insisted the decree was only q
temporary measure.
France will undergo a difficult
period in getting a free press re-
established" he said. THE ulti-
mate aim is to have Agence Fran
caise function on its own without
subsidy of any form. All papers
will be allowed to get information
on an equal basis from Agence
Francaise. Later on other news
agencies naturally will be allowed
to function if they desire.
French newspapers and agen-
cies will be able to make contacts
with any foreign or domestic news
agencies just as soon as the emer-
gency period in re-establishing 9
free press is past"

Virginia Claims Big Role
In Stampede to Truman
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July %. Virginia s
anti-Wallace delegation today
claimed it had a principal role
in the shift of sentiment after the
first roll call which threw the Dem
ocratic vice presidential nomina-
tion to Senator Truman.
| Senator Byrd, a leading New DeaI
critic, engineered the maneuver OF
the Virginians, which at a psyche
logical moment marked the frs,
switch of the solid Southern group
from Senator Bankhead of Alabama
to Mr.. Wallace's chief competitor.
At the conclusion of hours o1
nominating oratory, the Virginians
in a caucus, voted with other rebel
lious Southerners to support Sena-
tor Bankhead. Then, after the FIRST
test of strength. Senator Byrd
passed the word to friendly South
ern delegations and to Senator
Bankhead of Virginia's determina-
ton to throw its strength to Mr.
Wallace's closest runnerup.
When Gov. Colgate Darden an
nounced the Virginia vote on the
second call, Wallace and Truman
supporters appeared tense. That
was the tip-off. and a flood broke
when Senator Bankhead announced
his withdrawal and the release OF
Alabama's votes to Senator Truman

since the fathers fell asleep, all
things continue as they were from
the beginning Of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant
Of, that by the word of God the
heavens were of old, and the earth
standing out Of the water and In
the water.
Whereby the world that then was,
being overflowed with water,
perished.
But the heavens and the earth,
which are now, by the same word
are kept in store. reserved unto
fire against the day Of judgment
and perdition Of ungodly men.
But, beloved. be not ignorant Of
this one thing. that one day Is
with the Lord as . thousand years,
and thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning
his promise. as some men count
slackness, but is long suffering
to uSward, not willing that any
should perish. but that all should
come to repentance.
But the day Of the Lord will come
as thief in the night; in the
which the heavens shall pass away
with a great noise. and the ele-
ments shall melt with fervent heat.
the earth also and the works that
are herein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these thin1s
shall be dissolved, what manner Of
persons ought ye to be In all holy
conversation and Goodness.
Looking for and hastins unto the
coming Of the day Of God, wherein
the heavens being on fire shall be
dissolved, and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat.

manager of the past so years. He is
the man who elected Mckinley in
1896.
AS you come into Chicago or leave
It by train you can get an idea OF
why the man who made William
Mckinley President might find ii
difficult to do the same for Gov
Dewey. No matter in which direc-
ton you travel from or to this city
your train takes you past factories
belching smoke to the skies, evil
dence that within the gates men

women by the thousands. These

like these that enabled Mr.. Hanna
to turn William Jennings Bryan's
seeming sure victory over Mr.. Nc
Kinley into defeat. But Mr.. Hanna
could not repeat his performance

How He Did 1t.
Here's how Mr. Hanna did it in
1896. Nearly all the big Industrial
lists then, as now, favored the Re-
pliDASulA 1llCy 1CdI
Mr.. Bryan as they now fear Mr..
Roosevelt. They co-operated will
tngly with Mr.. Hanna. And so, as
election day grew near, the word
went out that the factories would
close If Mr.. Bryan were elected. The
word wasn't spread by campaign
orators or party workers, it was
spread by factory owners and man.
ayers. 1t was put out as something
official.
Some employers were blunt about
It. Some were slightly subtle. The
latter used the device of posting on
the factory bulletin boards orders
for the factory product with this
clause underlined: This order SUBJ
ject to cancellation If Mr.. Mckinley
Is not elected"
1t is matter of political history
that this turned the trick for Mr.
Mckinley The workers had no way
of knowing whether or not the
owners would close the mills. They
voted to keep the full dinner pail.
Different Story Today.
Imagine the horse laugh that
would belch forth with the factory
smoke If similar notices were tackled
on the bulletin boards today. Or
ders Cancelled by whom. the workers
would say. They know, of course
where the orders come from-the

NEW YORK TIMES-"The selec-

outlook the champion and to utilize

The younger man is the one who is

Apart from nominating a new man
for Vice President the convention
followed conservative If not outright
reactionary lines by adopting a plat
form of time-worn New Deal planks
