picks WiI|kie Men
And 7 Dewey Backers
BY the Associated Press.


MANCHESTER. N. H., Mar. Is
National Committeeman
Robert p. Burroughs today claimed
for Wendell Willkie q significant
victory on the basis of final re-
turns in the New Hampshire State
primary.
Four of the elected delegates to
the national convention, although
actually unpledged, were known to
be favorable to Mr.. Willkie. while
only two pledged outright to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey gained seats on
the 11-man delegation.
The other two delegates at large
and the other three district dele
gates wer unpldged and have not
publicly expressed their preference.
The Dmocrats voted, too, choosing
delegates from field pledged to a
fourth term for President Roosevelt.
The two Republican delegates
pledged to Gov. Dewey were Prof.
Charles A. Holden of Dartmouth
College, who stood seventh and last
among the winners of places on the
delegate at large list, and Thomas j.
Manning Of Manchester, who won a
seat as delegate from the 1st con-
gressional district.
Former Representative Arthur B.
jerks, unpledged, also won In the
1st district.
In the I'd district, Sherman Adams
and Grace F. Batchelder, both un-
pledged, won election.
Besides Mr.. Burroughs, who was
elected delegate at large, the other
three delegates favorable to Mr..
Willkie were Gov. Robert o. Blood,
Robert w. Upton and Frank j. Sui
loway.
Mr.. Burroughs explained that
under New Hampshires primary
law delegates pledged to any given
candidate must continue to vote for
that candidate even after he has re-
lieved them, so long as the candi-
dates name Is kept before the con-
vention.
For that reason Mr.. Willkie agreed
not to put formally pledged slate
in the field, but rather urged his
supporters to run unpledged, Mr..
Burroughs said.

AFL Tells Roosevelt
Clio Can't Share Seat
Al World Labor ParIey
By the Associated Press.

bS Iile ASSOClAteO PreSS.
The American Federation O.
Labor says it will 60 to the In.
ternational Labor Conference a.
the sole representative of labor
in the United States, as it always
has done, or it won't go at all.
That was the answer President
Roosevelt had today to his propose
that the labor representation be
shared equally by the AF'L and the
CIO. The conference of the Inter
national Labor Office, an offshoot
of the League of Nations, will con-
vene in Philadelphia April 20 tc
recommend present and postwar
social policy" to the United Nations
Approximately 80 nations will par
ticipate.
Each participating nation has one
labor vote, one employer vote and
two government votes All four
delegates are appointed by the chief
executives of the respective govern
ments.
Claims Right Was Earned.
"Mr. President" said letter from
AFL President William Green, "the
American Federation of Labor can
not agree to share representation
with any other labor organization
at meetings of the ILO if such a
change of representation is forced
or insisted upon.
The American Federation of La
Dor maintains that it has
earned the right to representation
in international labor organization
conferences.
THE American Federation of
Labor vigorously contends that the
traditional policy which originated
at the Versailles conference, and
which has been followed without
change ever since, shall continue"
The AFL's representative in ILO
affairs for the last seven years has
been Robert j. Watt. Mr.. Watt is
a member Of the Hos governing
group, which he persuaded to choose
Philadelphia for its 1914 meeting.
Executive Council Polled.
Mr.. Roosevelt called in Mr..
Green about week ago and made
the proposal that the AFL share its
seat with the CIO. The President
did not indicate what he would
do if the AF'L turned him down.
Mr.. Green polled the AFL Execu-
tive Council and advised the Presi-
dent that "it is the inclination and
desire Of each and all of them to
respond favorably to any request
you make" and therefore they
deeply regretted that they could not
agree in this instance.
He said the basis of representa-
ton at such meetings is that the
labor vote shall be cast by "the
most representative labor organiza-
ton" To divide that vote, he said,
might mean conflict and disagree
ment. The one group might cast
one-half vote in favor of and the
other group one-half vote in oppo-
sition to some vital proposal sub
mitted for determination. Such an
outcome would cause disunity and
discord. = 80

Allies Near Accord
On Postwar Fund 10
Stabilize EXCHANGE
BY the Associated Press.

Early and complete agreement
among Russian, British, American
and Canadian monetary experts on
Ia multibillion-dollar, gold based
fund to stabilize postwar foreign
exchange was believed imminent
today.
That belief grew following the
disclosure that parallel conversa-
tions have been in progress here
with British authorities, while a
Russian delegation was being ac-
|quainted with the so-called White
currency stabilization plan.
An official who told of the new
nglo-American talks said one more
meeting was expected to eliminate
the final point at issue, described as
a minor one and unrelated to the
question of gold.
Gold Was Point at Issue.
Heretofore the White (American)
and Keynes (British) plans have
been at wide variance as to whether
gold should play leading or sub
ordinate role in balancing interna-
tional trade and credit transactions
Harry D. White, Treasury none
tary expert, proposed an $4,000, ,O00,-
900 fund to be made up of gold and
local currency contributions of par
ticipating nations. Lord Keynes,
Bank of England director, suggested
instead clearing house arrange
ment without original assets and
using a quota system based on for
eign trade volume.
Russia Favors White Plan.
There was no indication that any
of the recent talks brought repre-
sentatives of the three powers to-
gether at the same time. However
1t was known to the British as we'll
as to the Americans that Russia,
as a major gold holder, regarded the
White plan as the more acceptable.
This Russian attitude was believed
to have caused British capitulation
to American views.
Canada already has drafted its
own plan. strikingly similar to the
latest White proposal
A Treasury official said he expect
ed at least couple more Russo
American conversations, last on the
agenda before the State Depart
ment issues formal invitations to
an international monetary confer
ence to consider currency stabiliza-
tion as well as world bank for
reconstruction and development.

Allies Slowed Drive
Inland From Netiuno
To Build Up Strength
BY the Associated Press.

oS lac AssOCi&teQ fIeSS.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers, Jan. 29-In the week since
landing south of Rome, the Allies
have elected not to make a spec
tacular thrust inland, as they might
have done, because they preferred
to build up reinforcements and
heavy equipment on the beachhead
to support a slower but less risky
advance, a military spokesman ex-
planned today.
The Allies had anticipated much
quicker and sharper reaction from
the Germans, even after the almost
unopposed success of the initial
landings.
Don Whitehead, Associated Press
correspondent who went in on the
first landing, reported today that
'in seven days the Germans have
been unable to shift their forces
fast enough to contain the sur
prise move of 1t. Gen. Mark w.
Clark's troops =. The greatest
surprise of this weeks operations
has been the failure of Marshal
Albert Kesselring to move forces
with the speed and precision for
which the Germans have been
famous"
Heavy Equipment.
An Allied headquarters spokes-
man said there had been no rapid
advance in the beachhead but I'VE
now have pushed forward enough
to allow the landing of reinforce
ments and heavy equipment. This
takes time, as harbor and beach
facilities are restricted.
"Once the landing was made, the
element of surprise no longer existed
and it was necessary to divert the
attention Of the enemy by other
means, such as attacking in strength
on the 5th Army front and batter
ing his communication lines from
the air.
"It would be unwise to push too
far inland before having the neces-
sary weight to support the drive.
Spectacular advances could have
been made but there would have
been attendlng rfSKS.
This is not a hit-and-run raid.
But a full-scale operation. The
process is like winding spring be-
ing set to go off at full strength,
instead of going off half cooked.
The enemy is bound to resist with
his full strength, therefore We must
have something with which to meet
him.
Two Schools Of Thought.
Some military minds have pointed
out that a quick drive inland might
have so disrupted German COM
munications as to cause wholesale
confusion on the western flank Of
the German 10th Army. This school
of thought feels that such gains
would have been worth the risks Of
heavy losses.
The other school Of military tac-
tics, which is apparently predomi-
nant in the Allied command, felt
that such risk was unjustified,
as it might have permitted the Ger
mans to push the Allies into the
sea by cutting the landing force
into isolated units. Such victory
for the German command would
be tremendous boost for German
home morale, particularly in view
of the impending invasion from the
West.
AS for the limited information
put out by Allied headquarters about
the landing operation, the spokes-
man declared "one of the enemy's
best means Of getting information
is by reconnaissance planes. We
have such complete air superiority
we have been shooting his planes
out of the sky to such an extent that
it is doubtful If he knows much.
There is no point in handing him
information on a platter. That's
why we are so cagey"
