Animals Give Impromptu Show
As Circus Trains Pull In

The greatest show on earth," on
its way North after a winter train
ing season in Florida, chugged into
Potomac Yards yesterday and gave
a preview performance to a motley
crowd of trainmen, roustabouts and
soldiers from a haltec troop-train.
The setting was a jungle of tracks,
with swirling smoke and cinders.
Every performer, animal and last
strap of equipment of the Ringing
Bros, Barnum & Bailey Combined
Show was packed onto two trains of
cars painted bright red and yellow.
A hot spring sun beat down on the
drab railroad yards across the Po-
tomac when the first train-carry-
ing the animals and roustabouts-
chugged to stop shortly before 2
pm.
Horses Skittish.
Bearded dungaree-cla lad roustabouts,
studiedly nonchalant in their han
ding of the wild creatures, swarmed
off the train and set to work feeding
and watering the beasts. In furry
OF clicking hooves and tossing
names, the trained horses and ponies
trooped off their trim cars, guided
by prodS and shouts from their
grooms. Bales of hay and tubs of
water were set out on the tracks.
The horses skittered about, nervous
after their long stay in the crowded
stable cars.
The grooms brought out huge
sandwiches of ham and cheese and
munched them contentedly. They
swallowed great draughts of water

Democrats Seek Unity
Al Harmony Party;
Rayburn Is Speaker

A Democratic Harmony" party
first Of scheduled series-today
gave leaders some hope that the
party could repair the breaches in
its ranks and present q united front
In the forthcoming congressional
elections.
A supper at the Mayfower last
night, attended by members Of Con-
gress, cabinet, executive agency off,
cials and Democratic National Com
mittee officers was the occasion Of
the get-together. The meeting was
closed to newspapermen, but par
ticipants came away saying "why
haven't we done this before?"
They said that Speaker Rayburn
made plea for party unity-the
theme emphasized by President Tru-
mans jackson Day speech-and
urged Democrats in all sections to
work together to retain control of
Congress. He also had a few kind
words" to say about President Tru-
man.
House Leader Mccormack made
similar plea, and Senators Hill of
Alabama and Hatch Of New Mexico
spoke briefly.
Five Suppers Planned.
Speaker Rayburn called attention
to the fact that all segments of
the party were represented at the
supper and the general tenor of
the talks, one participant said, was
that the party was big enough for
an-Iberals, conservatives and mid
dle-of-the-roaders.
In all, five of these suppers are
planned, and party officials said
they are designed to let Democrats
in the legislative and executive
branches get better acquainted"
The supper topped day in which
politics was in the forefront as the
result of a White House visit by
New York Democratic leaders who
appeared to have decided to run
Senator Mead of New York for
Governor if he is willing.
See Mead as Governor.
President Truman told a news
conference that Edward j. Flynn,
Democratic national committeeman,
and Paul Fitzpatrick, the party's
New York State chairman, dis
cussed every phrase of the States
political situation with him and
told him Senator Mead could be
elected Governor over Republican
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, should the
latter run again.
The President said he was good
listener during the half-hour con-
ference, took no position on Sena-
tor Mead himself, and did not know
whether the Senator, who has been
in Congress 26 years, would be will
ing to accept gubernatorial nomi-
nation.
He suggested that reporters ask
Senator Mead about that. They
did. The New Yorker would not
commit himself definitely but left
the door open.
II am not candidate at this
time for any political Office" he
said. II am immersed in my work
as chairman of the Senate War In
vestigating Committee, which leaves
me neither the time nor the op-
portunity for political activity.
Therefore, for the time being at
least, am not concerned over this

Mead, Lehman Head Slate
OF New York Liberal Party
BY the A3.oeioted Pres.


NEW YORK, July 12.-The Lib
eral party today opened the ticket
making for New York's 1916 cam
paign, designating slate headed by
two prominent Democra ts-Senator
Mead for Governor and Former
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman for Sena-
tor.
Senator Mead has been mentioned
often as the possible Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, but has not
yet declared formally he would make
the race.
Nor has Mr.. Lehman, until re-
Gently head of UNRRA. indicated he
planned to re-enter politics. He has
been reported as a possible Demo-
cratic nominee for the Senate seat
in the event Senator Mead runs for
Governor.
The slate was decided on last
night by the Executive Committee
of the Liberal party, an offshoot of
the American Labor party and an
independent political group rather
than legal party.
AS such, the Liberals must nomi-
nate their ticket by petitions. A
party must poll at least $4,000 votes
in a gubernatorial election to ap-
pear on the ballot automatically.
The Liberals are free to change
their ticket after the Democrats and
Republicans make their selections in
convention in September.
In 1914 the Liberal party polled
329, ,235 votes for the late Franklin
D. Roosevelt when he defeated
Thomas E. Dewey for President.

British Actor Will Portray
Roosevelt in A-Bomb Film
BY the Associoted Pres,

HOLLYWOOD, July The
much-discussed role of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt in the film, 1.-The
Beginning of the End" will be por-
trayed by Godfrey Tearle, famous
for so years on the British stage
and screen.
Sam Marx, producer of the atomic
bomb picture, announced the choice
today after viewing tests made by
Mr.. Tearle on his arrival from
England last week. Tearle's re-
semblance to the late President was
first noticed in 1888, when he
brought his British troupe to New
York for Broadway production of
The Flashing Stream"
Originally cast in the part was
Lionel Barrymore, but he was with
drawn when the Roosevelt family
objected, MGM officials said. Others
considered were Walter Huston and
James Dunn. Tearle, born in New
York, is brother of the actor,
Conway Tearle, who died in 1910.
