Roosevelt Releases Delegates

Mr. Roosevelt released his delegates last night. There were around 800 of them more or less committed to renomination and another hundred or so on his bandwagon, He formally advised this convention that he had neither desire nor purto be renominated or reelected. But his statement had no braking power, The third-term Juggernaut is still rolling. Permanent Convention Chairman Alben W, Barkley, the senior Senator from Kentucky, tripped the trigger on the Roosevelt show last nigl by reading a statement ot these Presidential views. Twice he hout his glasses off his nose as he called the roll of New Deal accomplishments and had great praise for the man he knew would become convention's man who.

New Dealers Fear Slip

New Dealers, uneasy lest this convention, with little to do, begins to Hore itself waiting to renominate Mr. Roosevelt until it for a fight and welcome a shift which might endanger the renomination. They fear something might slip. So Mr. Hopkins from his Blackstone Hotel headquarters gave the word last night about the time some thousands of delegates and spectators out at the stadium were yelling themselves hoarse with the battle cry of the gathering: “We want Roosevelt.” “When the President is nominated tomorrow night, he will accept,” Mr. Hopkins told questioning reporters, “Tomorrow night?” “Tomorrow night,” he replied. He has no wish to be a candidate again Mr. Barkley told the convention last night “In no wav whatsoever exerted anv influence in tion of delegates The President has never had, and has not todav, anv desire or purpose to continue in the office of President, te he a candidate for that office, or ta be nominated by the convention for that office,

gates than any other Vice Presidential candidate.” The MeNutt manager said there will be no "go sign” given to any candidate by President Roosevelt, “The contest will be wide open among 10 or 12 candidates and we are going to win,” he said. But other White House sources report that Mr. McNutt definitely has been crossed off the acceptable list, which was reported to be the case some weeks ago, shortly after his deficit income tax payment was Imade public.

Labor Record Cited While both C. 1. O. and A. F. of L. forces in Indiana have commended favorably on the labor record Mr. McNutt made as Governor, other high C. I. O. leaders, including John L. Lewis and others, have served notice that he should never be put on the ticket. Peak of the McNutt-for-Presi-dent boom came when he returned to Washington from his post as High Commissioner of the Philippines. Then came a bad slump accompanied byg,the Two Per Cent Club tax scandals. As a result, the nation-wide campaign tour came to naught and this took so much time from his latest position of Federal Security Administrator that no great administrative record was made to recommend him in Washington Mr. McNutt likely will leave that post, perhaps before the end of the second term, although he said todav he was undecided, except that he expected to go from here to Indianapolis. Some Backers Count 160 Votes The Hoosier leaders indicated strongly that Mr. McNutt would withdraw quickly if Roosevelt managers should pick another candidate. McNutt headquarters earlier was pepped up to a new high by word from Minnesota and Oklahoma delegations that they had decided to support Mr. McNutt. Minnesota and Oklahoma each have 22 votes. These along with Indiana's 28 and 88 claimed irom North Carolina, Maine, Delaware, Rhode Island and Michigan would make a total of at least 160 for McNutt on the first ballot, Also the Indiana headquarters was enthusiastic over reports trom several southern states that scattered delegations from the cotton belt would take their cue from the McNutt leaders, Meanwhile, a committee of In{diana delegates was organized by Mr. McHale to take a state-by-state poll of all delegates at the convention, Each man on the committee was assigned to poll three or four states and make detailed reports to the Indiana headquarters. The results of the poll will be used to determine

That the Axis powers are about ready to make their climactic bid for victory over Britain appeared certain, but the Aurry of threats from Rome and Berlin gave no definite clue to how or when.

| Konove New Premier

As the showdown approached in Europe, the Japanese moved to take advantage of Britain's position by a stronger drive for a dictated peace with China and for the spread of Japanese influence throughout Asia and to the South Seas. Prince Fumimaro Konove, former Premier, accepted the mandate of Emperor Hirohito to form a new Cabinet which would be expected to promote the idea of a one-party political system in Japan, to back an expansionist program and to move for speedy conclusion of the war with China on Japan's terms. The Japanese effort to end the Chinese war was emphasized by the landing of Japanese marines at Shenfuwan, north of Amoy, to close the last important route of supplies for China. The three Baltic states now under the “protection” of Russia have ceased to exist as independent republics.

Expected the Dramatic They expected something dramatic, a rallying call from the President for a great crusade. Restlessly, resentfully, they had been through the motions here, weary finally of all the faked mystery and the whispering. And it came: President Roosevelt—not a candidate! The great “draft Roosevelt” hoax of 1940 had come to its anticlimax. For they knew it meant nothing, They are going to nominate President Roosevelt for a third term. They know that. much—this “not a candidate” stuff. when they had seen his lieutenants busy as bees about the business for months, seen the President a sphinx in the White House while the New

Finally, after they had watched the parade below for some time they began to join in, clapping their hands in unison. But not all. Some just watched, still confused. They did not know what the delegates down below knew—that this was just a part of the new “draft” technique. The New Dealers in the boxes behind the platform watched in triumph. This was the end of the conquest of the Democratic Party which began with the 1938 “purge.” Their faces were a study. They

Tydings Holds to Banner

Mr. Tydings clutched the Maryland banner and refused to permit it to go in the parade. He glowered defiantly upon the uproar. But there was another Maryland banner, at the other end of the row of Maryland seats. Assistant Secretary of State Sumner Welles took that, and holding it primly before him he allowed himself to be swept, for the first time in his life, into the hurlyburly of politics. His face was solemn. He wants to be Secretary of State in another Roosevelt Administration, Jim Farley sat on a table back of the speakers’ platform, his long legs dangling, and watched the New Deal triumph. He has seen so much of this, directed so much of this—and so much better, He smiled knowingly,

URGES U. S. TO SEND 1000 PILOTS TO ISLE

MORRISTOWN, N. J, July 17 (U, P.).—Col. Henry Breckenridge, Assistant Secretary of War from 1913 to 1916, believes the United States should send 1000 of its finest airplane pilots to the British Isles to “turn the tide of war.” In a speech last night he said the American pilots would “knock Hitler's bombers out of the air, like vultures struck by iightning.” “I would rather fight Hitler from the air over Berlin than over New | York,” he said.
