not form Judgments and act In. telligently In a given situation unless supplied with all the facta. At least three distinct meetings now appear likely or certain: 1. A conference lyetween the Vailed State* and Biitaln looking toward elimination of preferential rate* to British commonwealth telegraphic communication*. A well.fnformed official t*dd the United Press 'hat while the V. S. has made no formal ap. proaches to Britain, there have been Informal discussions between official* «f the two nations and it is hoped a conference may be arranged thl* year. 2 An inter. American radio conference, to be held in Bio De Janeiro probably early next year, which might also consider estab, lishment of a hemisphere tele, graphic communications union. Maj. Landry Sale* Goncalves. Brasilian minister of post* and telegraph. Is expected here soon to discuss hemisphere communications problems and to begin ar. rangemen:* for the conference. 3. A United Nation* conference at which a "freedom of transit” agre< meat on telegraph messages would be sought together with a flat, world.wide rate for press and commercial messages. U. S. officials are hoping to pro. mote such a conference should the one with Britain materialize and prove successful. The United States' chief pur. pose In the talks with Britain would be to assure ‘hat this country's news services and other commercial enterprise* receive equal treatment a* to rates and transmission with similar British group* throughout the empire. VICE PRESIDENT tContluvwt ►'« raee It -...1 I——.. —— — • I—"’ 1 —»*► in 1932 anti 1938. also is here and may permit hi* name to be placed In nomination for president. But in either case it will be merely a gestun to give a scattering of anli.fourth term delegates a chance to cast a protest vote. Mr Roosevelt has drafted a rather Innocuous letter praising Wallace and expressing hl* own personal preference for him as a running mate, but significantly not insisting that he be on the ticket again. That letter probably will be made public today or to. morrow, well In advance of 'he first convention meeting. Bending a toll call record of It* effect on the delegates the vice presidential race I* wide open with Wallace the man to treat. Wallace's repudia’ion by this convention would be accomplished immediately if the antl.Wallace

force* could get together on a single candidate or If Mr. Roosevelt would indicate an alternate preference of hi* own. which he Is expected *o d<> after Wallace ha* bad his fling. The president Is a master of the technique of political surprise If Wallace fail* to win a first ballot majority, be may startle ’he con. vent ion with a couple of name* which have not figured In pre. convention speculation regarding the vice presidential nomination. The president would no' public, ly propose anyone. But chairman Robert E. Hannegan of the Democratic national committee will be in touch with Mr. Roosevelt, and war mobilizatoin director James F. Byrnes also I* here in a dual role as potential vice presidential nominee as well a* personal rep. resentative of the president on other matters. To put the White House choice over- assuming that h. were a man of fairly regular parly record -Il merely would be necessary to pass the word to the floor and the delegates would do the rest. Governor of Oregon may not serve more than two term* In a 12 year period.
