 Iris Room Label
 Taylor vehemently contended the Baranof hotels Iris room had nothing to do with the bill"
 Before I ever came to Juneau, | had the essential elements of the bill drawn up," he declared.
 He denied having sat in on any Iris room conference for drafting the bill. insisting he dropped in only briefly at a conference of Rivers and Jack Altman, secretary cf the Alaska Retail Liquor Dealers Association. He said he arrived late with his notes and stayed only briefly.
 As the Iris room label gained in interest as Taylor's tirade against his neusman targets continued, Rivers explained how it came to figure in the picture.
 He said he conferred with Altman in the Iris room for the simple reason that the lunch hour was the only free time he had to con- CT with Altman on the bill; and t would have to be at the lunch table If at all.
 Taylor bobbed up from his seat at the rear of the chamber, and asked Rivers: Wasn't I 45 minutes late?"
 Rivers acknowledged that the es~ innate was about right.
 One section of the bill provides that to penalize an operator for selling liquor to an inebriated per son. he must be obviously intoxi- cated.
 Rivers said the obviously was Allmans request. That was his contribution to the Iris room conS ference. We were trying to make enforcement conform to the facts cl life,'
 Rivers said he drew the section proposing city councils could modi- " the 200-foot to school or church provisions at Taylor's request.
 T hold no brief for that proviso," ne declared. Tt was designed to help the Ketchikan Eagles with their problem. We thought it would be a way to let them settle it at a local level
 In defending elimination of the bond provision Rivers said that in ten years as a district attorney he found it usually easy to settle cases with guilty pleas and fines tor minor violations, but after the bond clause was enacted in 1897 ie became "an insurmountable bar rier to convictions"
 He said the forfeiture of the S2,500 bond, plus fine. proved too stringent to get pleas or con- victions in cases of minor infrac- tions.
 He said the mandatory 45 and 90- day suspensions also had made it more difficult to get convictions: that more latitude for the courts was desirable and would work toward better enforcement.

James Roosevelt was Democratic
State chairman year ago, and
! has considerable following among
the California Democrats-as well
as some enemies. He was elected
a delegate to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention as Truman
ldelegate-but he suddenly declared
himself for the nomination of Gen
Dwight D. Eisenhower for Presi-
dent. Those were the days when
the ADA tAmericans for Demo
cratic Action were giving Mr.
Truman a cold shoulder; first, be-
cause they did not like the way
Mr.. Truman had gotten rid Of New
Deal Office holders and. second, be-
cause they did not believe that
Mr.. Truman had a chance. Frank
lin D.. jr.. went right along with
his brother James in his support
of the raft-Eisenhower idea,
When 1t became certain that Gen
Eisenhower could not be drafted
both Roosevelts turned in for Tru-
man - and James was elected
Democratic national committee
man for California. while the con-
vention was In session.
Favored in California
Politicians in California, Demo-
cratic and Republican. believe
that James Roosevelt will defeat
George Luckey. If both are candi-
dates for the nomination for Gov
ernor. The race might become
complicated. however. If other
candidates also entered the con-
test. The Roosevelt name. as well
as the fact that the Democratic
Party in California has turned
more and more to the left Of cen
ter. will help the son Of the late
President. Luckey Is regarded as
a conservative Democrat - and
Roosevelt. decidedly q liberal.
Gov. Warren, Republican. is re-
garded as a probable contender
for a third term. He will be a
tough customer for Roosevelt. In
1946, Gov. Warren won not only
the Republican gubernatorial nom-
ination but also the Democratic, in
the cross-filing system which
candidates employ in California,
Last year. when he ran as Repub-
lican candidate for Vice President
on the Dewey ticket, and failed
to carry his home State, his
prestige suffered.
The Democrats in California
have a great advantage over the
Republicans in registrations. ex-
Iceeding Republican registration by

sGov. Warren won both nomina-
tions for Governor. and Senator
Knowland. Republican. defeated
win Rogers. jr.. Democrat, son of
the humorist. by 100000 votes in
the senatorial election. In the
l948 election. the Truman -Barkley
ticket won over the Dewey Warren
in California by only 1900.
Report has 1t that Mrs. Helen
Gahagan Douglas. a Democratic
member of the House now in her
third term. will seek the Demo-
cratic nomination for Senator
next year-against the incumbent,
Democratic Senator Downey. II
she wins it-and she may-she and
James Roosevelt would make
strong ticket in the general
election.
Across the continent, in New
York. the political picture is con-
fused. 1t is because it is so con-
fused that the possibility OF a
Roosevelt nomination is discussed.
The selection of the Democratic
and Republican State tickets for
next year are very much up in
the air. 1t Is suspected in some
quarters that Gov. Dewey will
make another bid for Governor,
desiring to remain in politics The
aged and ailing Senator Wagner,
Democrat. is not expected to be
a candidate to succeed himself
he has not been able to attend
sessions of the Senate for many
months. If he resigns before the
end of the first week in July. an
election to fill the vacancy will
be held In November.
Senator Wagner's son. Robert
Wagner, wants to run for the
Senate to succeed his father.
and has been out seeking support
of organized labor-which thinks
with pleasure Of the Wagner Labor
Relations Act. 1t has been under
stood that the Senator will resign
in time for a special election to
fill his place this fall. provided the
Democratic leadership will agree
to the nomination of his son.
So Franklin D.. jr.. now enter
ing the House In the place of the
late Representative Sol Bloom. to
which Roosevelt was recently
elected in a smashing victory over
| the regular Democratic. Tammany
nominee. must wait until there
is a clarification of the situation
before he can even begin to plan
in his own mind his future course.
Surprise Angles
Admittedly it would be q sur
prising thing If the Democrats in
New York should pick young
Roosevelt so soon for either a
gubernatorial or senatorial NOM
ination. The name. Franklin D.
Roosevelt. however. would be
worth many votes-and If the
Democrats believed they were in
bad case. they might risk all on
a Roosevelt.
1t would be a coincidence. in
deed. If the Republican national
standard bearers Of 1948. Gov.
Warren in California and Gov.
Dewey in New York. running for
reelection as Governor In their
respective States. should find
themselves confronted by Roose-
lvelts-sons Of the late President.
While two Of President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's sons have gone
into politics in a big way. only
one. Theodore. jr.. Of the sons
of President Theodore Roosevelt
