Pettengill (D.) to retire from politics might give advisers a lead in their search for a solution to the Senatorial problem. Meanwhile it was reported that Samuel Jackson, Ft. Wayne attorney, had the inside track in the race for Administration approval as the Senatorial candidate. An informal poll taken late yesterday among State House employees showed support for Senator VanNuys, Earl Peters, Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson and Mr. Jackson of Ft. Wayne. No formal announcement of a candidate to oppose the senior Senator was expected from the Governor, although advance copies of his speech tomorrow night are being withheld.

AUTO UNION BLOGS RENEW THEIR BATTLE

Dispute Rises Over Proposed New Constitution.

Times Special MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27. — Leftwing strategists were active on both sides today as two factions fought for control of the United Auto Workers’ convention. John L. Lewis, Organization leader, told the delegates that “labor and the world knows that the automobile workers are free and that they will remain free.” He warned members they “must fight to preserve your union.” He attacked William Green, A. F. of L. president, labeling him “a traitor” for “drooling a denunciation of the United Automobile Workers of America and the C. I. O.” in attempting to forestall a contract between General Motors and the union. A new constitution, giving President Homer Martin virtually dictatorial powers was reported today. It was expected to renew the bitter battle between opposing factions. The proposed constitution would: Give Mr. Martin the power to remove or suspend international officers or appointed employees “for insubordination or just and sufficient cause,” subject to review hy the executive board; give him power to appoint successors to international officers he removed; raise the
