TestDue in Convention
As Texas Party Chiefs
Support johnson
BY the Assoeioted Press

FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. IA
The see-saw battle between Repre-
sentative Lyndon B. johnson and
Coke r. Stevenson for Senator
moved today to the floor of the
Texas State Democratic Conven-
tion.
Representative johnson was or
top by an extremely narrow mar
gin. The party Executive Commit
tee certified him to the convention
as the winner by 81 votes last night.
The vote in the Executive Commit
tee, like everything else in the un-
precedented race for the nomina-
ton, was close: 20 to %.
Attorneys for both candidates
heatedly exchanged charges and
countercharges. The committee
then voted to adopt minority sub
committee report saying Represent
ative johnson had received the votes
necessary to become the nominee,
and recommending the convention
so certify his name to the Secretary
Of State.
hHVIHEI NVuhu NV Jt' u4 So
Announcement that minority
report of the Executive Committee
would be taken to the convention
gave assurance the committees ac-
ton was just another round in the
bitter struggle for the nomination.
Speeches by attorneys represent
ing johnson and Mr.. Stevenson,
centered on the validity Of the vote
In precinct 13 in Jim Wells County.
Mr.. Stevenson refused to concede
defeat. Asked what he considered
the last authority in his contest, he
said:
Il am thinking about the United
States Senate.
Representative johnson, sur
rounded by a pushing throng OF
cheering well-Wishers, said he would
stand on his statement that he had
confidence that the committee and
the convention would be fair.
That's all ! ask, he said.
Before the vote was announced,
one member withdrew and asked
to be noted as present and not vot-
ing. That tied the result. Then a
member who had been absent on
the first roll call showed up and
cast an aye vote that decided the
issue for Representative johnson.
Prospect of Delegate Purge.
Today's convention is directed by
statute to approve or disapprove
of the Executive Committees rec
ommendation.
The convention also faced the
prospect of a purge of delegates and
electors who will not support Presi-
dent Truman as the National party's
nominee for President.
Representative Rayburn told a
preconvention rally of pro-Truman
delegates a vote for the Thurmond-
Wright presidential ticket in No.
vember will amount to vote for
four years OF Republican rule. Mr..
Rayburn called Gov. J. Strom Thur

Washington to be available for any
consultations Government ofi1cials
might want to have with him.
The last time administrations
changed in 1892 the country was in
the midst of a depression, which
gave rise to many urgent problems.
Nevertheless, under the Constitu-
ton, about four months had to
elapse before the reins passed into
President Rooseyelt's hands.
The Norris amendment to the
Constitution, abolishing lame-duck
sessions OF an outgoing Congress,
and paving the way for January
inaugural date, did not take effect
until 1897, the beginning of Mr..
Roosevelt's second term.
Budget One Big Problem.
One of the first big problems that
would confront a new President
would be next years Federal budget,
and there are reliable indications
that Dewey aides are familiarizing
themselves with 1t. Even If Mr..
Truman should be defeated he would
still be President for more than two
weeks after the new Congress meets
on January 8. and could present the
estimates on which Government
bureaus are now at work. But there
would be nothing to prevent a new
President from submitting revised
recommendations after he takes the
oath Of Office, for little would have
been done on appropriation bills
during the interim.
In the important field of foreign
affairs. Gov. Dewey's two top advis-
Ex-senator Vandenberg and John
Foster Dulles-have kept abreast OF
all happenings in the trouble spots
of the world, and the bipartisan
approach to foreign policy which has
been maintained since the close OF
the war should simplify the transi-
tion in State Department control If
administrations change.
Talks With Farm Leaders.
Gov. Dewey had q long talk yes
terday afternoon will Allen B. Kline
Of Vinton, Iowa. president OF the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
about farm price and production
problems, which presents both major
parties with one of the most diff
cult campaign issues.
Because the federation Is COM
posed of both Republicans and Dem
ocrats, Mr.. Kline told reporters he
had no statement to volunteer, but
would answer questions. Asked
about his own State of Iowa, how
ever, he said, I'VE only vote for
Democrats in hard times"
Mr.. Kline told newsmen the de-
clining price of corn will make meat t
scarce for a while, because it will
encourage producers of hogs and
cattle to build up heavier animals
which takes time. BY next year,
however, it should result in a more
plentiful supply of meat, he said.
The Farm Bureau Federation
head said he suggested to Gov.
Dewey that joint congressional
commission be set up to study all of
the factors which affect the general
price level--such as money credit,
Federal expenditures and control of
the public debt. He indicated that
what he had in mind was an effort
to stabilize the value of the dollar.
He said Gov. Dewey was interested
in the suggestion. but did not; COM
NIT himself.
