Schrlcker, Townsend’s choice for the senate until this ambiguity arose over Van Nuys, will not be unhappy to withdraw in favor of any candidate since he has been openly displeased about his proposed senatorial candidacy. He wants to be governor in 1940, so he does not present any problem at the moment although there are some Democrats who do not favor his 1940 aspirations. A decision may be forthcoming on Van Nuys the middle of next week after Hie July 4th holiday and its possibilities for quiet conferences. o Mr. and Mrs. L. C.
