New Deal Foes
Face Dem Fight

WASHINGTON, July 5 tINS)
Growing sentiment to seat anti
New Deal Texas and Mississippi
delegations at the Chicago Demo-
cratic national convention was re-
ported in high Democratic circles
today.
Some party leaders are known
to have advised Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Robert K. Hanne-
gan that strong-arm methods TO
bar the delegations would fan
the flames of Southern revolt.
Whether the attempts to avoid
a bitter fight at the Democratic
conclave will succeed has not,
however. been definitely deter
mined.
Senator Claude Pepper CD of
Floriday, staunch New Dealer, has
proposed that the Democratic
convention reject delegates from
any state which does not regard
the election of Democratic cleo
tors as a mandate to support the
party nominee.
The movement launched by Pep
per may also find strong backing
among Go supporters Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt
