figure in the party, whom it did
not identify by name but "who
has f1rSt-hand knowledge OF the
views OF former President Harry
s. Truman, Adlai E. Stevenson,
the party's hierarchy in the
United States Senate, and its
regional leaders"
This opposition to young
Roosevelt, the Herald Tribune
said. has been passed along to
New York City Democratic
leaders. who will control a large
bloc OF delegates to the State
party's nominating convention
here next month.

source as saying it is unlikely
that any national party leaders
will take a public stand against

ference in an intra-State contest
can boomerang"
