Butler Schedules Talk
With Jesse Jones I odoy

SEGUIN, Tex, June 20 (R.-I
Democratic National Chairman
Paul Butler seeks to nail down a
weeks campaigning to get Texas
back into the party traces with
two more topflight conferences
today.
He conferS here with Mrs.
H. H. Weinert. member Of the
national committee. then flies to-
Houston for a talk with Jesse
Jones, capitalist and Secretary
of Commerce under President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Butler yesterday went to
Uvalde, where he spent more
than an hour visiting with John
Nance Garner. 86. former Vice
President and now sage Of Texas
Democrats.
Mr.. Butler and MIR. Garner in
sisted the occasion held no po-
litical significance, but their talk
kept getting back to such topics
as shooting elephants and what
kind of Republicans were most
vulnerable in Texas.
State Went Republican
One of the things that brought
Mr.. Butler to Texas for his bor-
der-to-border political tour was
the fact that the State went Re-
publican for Dwight D. Eisen-
hover in 1852 under the leader
ship of Democratic Gov. Allan
Shivers.
Gov. Shivers' actions under
lined a State party split that
Mr.. Butler was also seeking to
heal in advance Of the 1856 elec-
ton, Mr.. Butler will leave Texas
this afternoon, probably without
having seen the Governor.
Mr.. Butler said his tight
schedule would prevent him
from accepting a luncheon date
with Gov. Shivers. Neither Gov.
Shivers nor Mrs. Weinert had
appeared at any Of the Butler
gatherings.
The Shivers faction-after
having given some signs Of want
ing to renew connections with
the national organization-be-
came miffed when the Butler
tour was arranged by the States
Democratic advisory council. The
council handles many national
committee affairs in Texas.
Warm Greeting
Mr.. Butler had never met Mr..
Garner, who since 1941 has
emerged once to help the party
by plugging Adlai Stevenson in
1852. The warmth Of his greet
ings to Mr.. Butler also could be
taken as a political gesture.
Mr.. Garner told the national
committee chairman he was "de-
lighted to do anything" he could
for the party.
Then, after a Commute pri-
vate talk and some public con-
versation before approximately
200 persons gathered on the oak
shaded lawn, Mr.. Butler left
after asking Mr.. Garner:
do you have any advice for
me?"

"Just go on doing as you have

piled.

Auto Dealers Seek
Laws 70 Regulate
Sales Of New Cars

Faced with record auto pro-
duction. the National Automobile
Dealers Association will seek
laws giving exclusive sales areas
to new-car dealers and to fight
"bootlegging" of cars.
Frederick j. Bell, retired rear
admiral and executive vice presi-
dent of the association. told a
luncheon-news conference here
yesterday that the group will
fight for such legislation in
Congress-.
The association represents
81, 1000 of the estimated 10000
new car dealers in the country.
Admiral Bell said that before
1949, informal agreements ex-
listed between manufacturers and
new car dealers, covering terri
torial security and forbidding re-
sale of new cars to used car
dealers.
Both agreements were dropped
that year. What NADIA wants
now is a legal return of both
clauses.
Under the exclusive sales area
plan, each dealer would be as
signed sales district by the
manufacturer and a penalty
would be assessed any dealer
who enticed customers from out
side his territory.
The anti-bootlegging cam
paign isn't new. The House
passed such measure during
the last session, but it died in the
Senate. Congressional approval
would reinstate the 1949 agree
ment which says that the new
car dealer is a retailer-not a
wholesaler-and must sell to
customers.

Building Group Hits
Planners Haste on
Southwest Mall Plan

The National Capital Planning
Commissions haste in "tenta-
lively" approving controversial
plan for Southwest redevelop-
ment has been attacked by the
Washington Building Congress.
In an editorial in the current
issue Of its monthly publication
the building group raped the
planners for acting without CIV
ing official agencies a chance
"for study or discussion"
Two Mall Plans at Issue.
At issue is an alternate traffic
plan, which conflicts directly
with the Zeckendorf proposal for
a 300-foot-wide Tenth street
mall in the Southwest, free from
major traffic volumes.
The planners, asked by the
Zeckendorf firm, Webb & Knapp,
to concur in the Tenth street
mall idea, came up instead with
a plan which uses Tenth street
as a major traffic artery. The
planners suggested that the
Zeckendorf mali be moved east
ward to Ninth street S.W.
The building congress editorial
said the planners idea mo doubt
has many worthwhile features,
since it was developed by COM
petent Federal officials" 1t
added:
But to pull it out of a hat
and say, This is it, without
giving Webb & Knapp, the Re-
development Land Agency or the
District Government any say in
the matter, appears to the citi-
zens of the District of Columbia
to be highhanded, to put it
mildly"
Fears Loss to City.
The editorial said the city
would lose considerably if the
Zeckendorf firm loses interest
in the redevelopment, and as
serted:
mo doubt it will also be diff
cult to find other organizations
willing to spend the money which
will be required when they can
not count on cooperation from
the planning commission.
THE Washington Building
Congress has long believed that
greater public participation
would create more interest in
plans for the renewal of our city
and would tend to reduce arbi-
trary actions such as tlpat taken
by the planning commission"
