Wallace Forces arses Claim They "Have Power to Swing
Nomination. (Continued From Page One)
- from Senator Joseph Guffey, Penn‘sylvania, one of Wallace’s most ardent backers. Many believe Wallace ‘1s still likely to be scuttled in his contest with Senator Harry 8. Tru- * man of Missouri, who has some kind of White House acceptance and the support of some of the big party bosses here. Balloting Time Uncertain The vice presidential balloting may be held tonight or may be de-
ferred until tomorrow. Senator Alben W. Barkley of
Kentucky, who feels along with|purple
some others here that he has been maneuvered out of his chance at the vice presidential nomination, ‘Jarred convention managers with a surprise request that they hold up release of his speech placing Mx. Roosevelt in fourth term renomina "tion. That was a bald threat run out on the assignment to propose the President's name, but it lasted only a few hours. Toward 2 a. m, today one of Barkley's aids said the senator had sent “a note to national committee publicity headquarters authorizing release of the speech on schedule today. Meanwhile, it was learned that Wallace will deliver a speech seconding Mr. Roosevelt's nomination| for the presidency. .
Scheduled for Mid-afternoon
The presidential nomination was scheduled for mid-afternoon, following the address of Permanent Chairman Samuel Jackson of Indiana, disposition of credentials and rules disputes, and adoption of the platform. The rules committee today voted
down a resolution calling for restoration of the two-thirds ma-! jority rule but recommended that! reapportionment of delegates be! * made within two years. The reapportionment stand was! the compromise that quelled a threat of the mincrity, led by Rep. J. Y. Sanders, of Louisiana, to carry the fight to the convention floor. Sanders threatened to carry the! fight to the conyention floor. Por- | mer Attorney General Homer Cummings, delegate from Connecticut,’ then made a plea that the sugges-!
tion not be carried out to “furnish | It said he was William Lynch Bates, son of Mrs. Florence D.
the Republican press a fine opportunity.” George Butler, Houston, Tex. asked for the compromise on re-. apportionment.
Based on Vote
A resolution drawn up iffimedi- | ately after the session called for; reapportionment based on Democratic vote rather. than on popula‘tion. Southerners still are resentful ‘over certain methods of the conven- | tion. Barkley evidently was disgruntled by the smooth operations of the big four — National Commiliee Chairman Robert E. Hannegan, who was handpicked last winter 10] handle Mr. Roosevelt's re-eleciion campaign; Mayor Edward J. Kelly of Chicago, who bosses the Demo~ cratic party in Illinois; Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, who rules the organization in New Jersey, and Edward J. Flynn, leader of the Democratic party in the. Bronx and the manager of the; President's successful third term eampaign, The center ring battle is over the i vice presidential nomination for; which Mr. Roosevelt personally in_dorsed Wallace, but for which Han- | negan now says -the President would be happy to have Truman.
Both Are Missourians
The fact that Truman and Hannhegan are fellow Missourians and that Hannegan owes some of his rise to political heights to Truman makes the Wallace men more. than a little suspicious that something-is wrong. But there is supporting evidence that Hannegan does have a go-ahead for Truman and directly from the President. Persuasive reports persisted that) he had received a letter to that) effect. Hannegan denied it. Others said that it was received afid that it suggested either Truman or Associate Justice William O. Douglas if Wallace were not acceptable to the convention. Senator Guffey shouted what other Wallace supporters had been ‘whispering when he said: . “I doubt very much if Mr. Hannegan quoted all of the letter the President is supposed to have written. It is time that Mr. Hannegan remembers that he was elected chairman of the national committee to serve all the members of our party, to give some of his time to « the party and not all of it entirely to the candidate (Truman) of Hannegan, Kelly, Hague and Flynn.”
C.L O. Seconds Guffey
C.I1.O. spokesmen echogd Guffey’s charge that these four men who are bulwarks of the New’ DealDemocratic coalition are unfairly bossing the convention. R. J. Thomas, president of the United Automobile Workers (C.1.0.), told reporters after a caucus of 125 C.1.0. delegates that he thought Wallace was gaining strength. “The people back of Truman are the biggest opposition to Wallace,” he said. “They are the big bosscontrolled groups.” C.1.0. spokesmen said they. had no second choice after Wallace. Southern delegates protestdd C. LO. influence in the selection of a nominee and particuarly resented the fact that Sidney Hillman, C.I1.0. ‘spokesman, . blackballed War Mo-

bilization Director James F. Byrnes of South Carolina for the vice presidential nomination. Byrnes withdrew yesterday “in deference to. the wishes of the President.” The bitter nature of the WallaceTruman contest revived dying hope among other aspirants. It was understood that one of the arguments used to persuade the 67-year-old Barkley to lift the ban against distribution of his presidential nominating speech was that Wallace and Truman might yet knock each other out and give someone else a chance ~maybe Barkley.
Drama or Comic Opera?
Observers were unable to determine whether the Barkley speech incident was stark drama or comic opera. Max Truitt, Barkley's son-in- law, said: “Senator Barkley called up Hannegan and told him that if the advance on the speech hadn't gone out to hold it pending consideration of the whole situation.” Asked whether that meant Barkley would not place Mr. Roose-
could say no more. Discovered in a hotel lobby conversation with Senator A, Chandler of Kentucky, Hannegan was asked whether he still expected Barkley to propose the Presi dent's renomination. “Sure, so far as I know, there is no change in the schedule,” he replied. Chandler broke in to inquire whether Hannegan anticipated any trouble in getting Mr. Roosevelt's name before the convention. | “1 imagine-I could find somebody who would get up and say ‘I ion nate Praga D.

In U.S. on Job
GILLESPIE, Ili, July 20 (U, P.), —What is said to be the country’s first women coal miners were on
the job at nearby mines here todag. They are Mrs, Helen P. Daniels and Mrs. Cleora E. Campbell, employed at nearby Sawyerville and Mt. Clare, respectively, diggings. The mines are those owned by the Chicago & Northwestern railroad’s Superior Coal Co. Mine officials sald the women are believed to" be the first ever employed in the history of the coal industry in the actual mining of ‘coal. The two went to work, as “weighmen.” The work, too strenuous for women years ago, has, with the installation of modern machinery, become a job which mine officials now believe a wom« an can perform efficiently. The two went to work yesterday.

The anti-fourth<term Tegular Texas delegates, however, sat un-| moved in their seats and refused to join the parade. An enthusiastic pro-Roosevelt man from another delegation tore down half of the Texas placard in passing, and, rushing down front, handed it to Kerr, who waved it to the crowd. George Charlton of Tom Ball, Tex., retrieved one face of the piacard, -however, and Delegate L. L. James of Tyler, Tex. replaced it at the top of the staff while Charles E. Simons of Austin, secretary of the Texas state executive committee, held the pole erect. Members of the pro-Roosevelt “rump delegation” from Texas crowded around the regulars, waving signs reading “Throw the Judases out,” “Help us clean up Texas” and “We .want Roosevelt.”
Others Sit Tight
James angrily held on to the salvaged half of the Texas placard, However, and announced: “I'm holding the banner up here where it belongs because I don't want it in that parade.” Louisiana, which like Texas has declared for Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia for President, stayed out of the parade until the excitement proved too much for one of the delegates. He grabbed the standard and it, too, was soon among Kerr's collection. . Virginia, Tennessee and Mississippi sat tight. Kerr finally resumed his speech and ended it by saying: “Under our great commander-in-chief we will not now retreat. We will not falter in mid-passage. We will win!” Kerr's speech, prepared after he had conferred with Mr. Roosevelt at the White House, carried an implied invitation to Wendell L.

He added that Mr. Roosevelt's experij enced leadership must be retained to assure complete and speedy victory, a just and abiding peace and American responsibility and cooperation in maintaining world peace. Furthermore, he said, Mr. Roosevelt's re-election also would assure a post-war American government responsive to the needs and hopes of all citizens however humble, and a government “which will not shrink or fail, but will fulfill with gratitude and fidelity our sacred obligation to our returning service men and women.” Pointedly, he did not refer once in his 5000-word speech to the New Deal—a designation used in the first three Roosevelt campaigns but since discarded by Mr. Roosevelt personally. Instead, Kerr referred to the “Democratic administration,” the “Democratic President” and the “commander-in-chief.”
