were not counting out either Byrnes
or Senate Majority Leader Alben
Barkley OF Kentucky as alterna-
tive choices to wallace.
There was q feeling that before
the day Is over some indirect word
would come from the President as
TO his second choice. Mr.. Roosevelt
was widely quoted as having said
that Mondays letter Of endorse
ment for Wallace would be his last
word on the vice presidential situa-
ton. But politicians we're reluctant
to believe that.
Senator Francis Maloney OF Con-
necticut epitomised this viewpoint,
asserting that: Everything is up
In the air and President Roosevelt
ought to say now who he wants.
There remained little doubt that
IL Mr.. Roosevelt should raise an
eyebrow in the direction OF any
other particular candidate the reac-
ton would be swift and decisive.
Senator Harley Kilgore OF West
Virginia put It in words with the
declaration: I'm for anybody the
President is for"
