Democratic Leaders
Eye Indiana Lawyer
To Succeed Mitchell
By Allen Drury

The name Of Paul Butler,
Democratic national committee
man from Indiana. is being dis
cussed by some congressional
Democrats as a possible choice
to succeed National Chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell when he
steps down to return to private
law practice.
Some Democrats. doing their
.chairman-shopping early. think
Mr.. Butler might be an ideal
choice for the job-even though,
like Mr.. Mitchell. he is generally
regarded as belonging to the
A. A., or ,Adlai Again, wing of
the party.
This may precip!tate a fight
when the National Committee
meets probably soon after the
November elections, to select Mr..
Mitchell'S successor.
Stevens0n's Choice.
Mr.. Mitchell himself has
always been regarded with sus-
picion by Southern party lead
ers because of his close friend
ship for Adlai E. Stevenson, the
party's 1852 presidential NOM
inee. He was Mr.. Stevenson's
personal choice for the job, and
the former Illinois Governors
opponents have long considered
his continuous travels around
the country meeting local party
workers as fence-building for
another try by Mr.. Stevenson.
This. Mr.. Mitchell has denied,
but such denials, however genu-
inc, don't convince party leaders
who are determined to believe
the contrary.
Mr.. Butler, from the neigh
boring pro-Stevenson Democratic
organization of Indiana, might
run into the same criticism.
In the main. however. his
Capitol Hill hackers believe, he
fits the traditional Democratic
pattern: a lawyer, a Catholic,
and a Midwesterner without any
particular regional bias. A family
man with five children, he has
been practicing law in South
Bend since he received his degree
from Notre Dame in 1927. He is
a member of the St. Joseph's
County, Ind. and American Bar
Associations. He has been active
in party affairs since 1927 and
has been a member of the State
central committee since 1948.
Party Storm Center.
Mr.. Mitchell has already an
nounced his intention of leaving
the Craftsmanship after the
November congressional elec-
tions. At the moment he is a
party stormcenter because of a
recent statement refusing Ma
tional Committee support to
James Roosevelt. candidate for
Congress in California. a n d
Representative Condor, Demo-
crat, of California. Mr.. Condor
was denied admission to an
atomic test in Nevada on security
grounds, and Mr.. Roosevelt has
admitted to a number of marital
inf1delities in a signed letter.
Mr. Mitchell said the commit
tee could not give official sup
port to either candidate. a move
which has brought blame from
some Democrats but praise from
others who feel he has removed
two party liabilities.

American Trailing
In French Golf Final
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, June 4.-Henri De La
Maze, four time French Amateur
champion, held a one-hole lead
today at the halfway point of
his 36-hole match with Clarke
Hardwicke ofAos Angeles for the
French international Amateur
golf championship.
The 36-year-old Californian
took a Cup lead early in the
match, but later dropped behind
when his putter began to get
erratic.
The final 10 holes were to be
played this afternoon.
Hardwicke, who never has won
a major tournament, surprised
even himself in reaching the
finals.
The 35-year-old businessman's
chief claim to fame before this
was that he has been knocked
out OF the United States Anna
teur championship four times by
players who went on to win it
Hardwicke came to Europe foI
the British Amateur in which he
lasted until the fourth round.
Yesterday he moved into the

Detroit Lions Agree
On Collegiate Rules
For AII-Sfar Game
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, June 4.-The COM
plete set of collegiate football
rules, providing for limited sub
stitution rather than the two
platoon system. will be followed
at the All-Star Game in Soldier
Field August 13.
Agreement on the matter was
reached yesterday when Edwin
j. Anderson, president Of the
Detroit Lions, National Foot
ball League champions, said:
"As world champions for the
second straight year we now feel
we can serve the best interests
of football by adhering to the
1853 collegiate rule book for this
years game"
The statement followed by "a
hours plans to end a stalemate
between the Lions, the NFL and
the sponsoring Chicago Tribune
over the substitution rules by
a board Of arbitration.
Arch Ward, Chicago Tribune
sports editor, said he was pleased
by the decision of the Lions.
IT had expected the Lions and
the National Football League to
live up to the All-Star Game
agreement" he said. But I did
not ask for concession on all
points"
He added that as a COM
promise in the dispute over
whether the collegiate one-pla-
toon (preferred by the coaching
staff of the collegianS) or pro-
feSSional two-platoon substitu-
ton should prevail, he offered to
permit free shifting of quarter
backs.
II am happy that the Lions
elected to abide by our contract
with the league and thus paved
the way for both groups to de-
vote fall planning for the game" 4"
Ward said.
Coach Buddy Parker said that
under the single platoon his ace
quarterback, Bobby Layne, will
see limited action. He said he
probably would abandon the
Lions customary T formation
and use a single wing with Doak
Walker playing the key tailback
position.
