O. political ‘action committee leaders, Philip {Murray and Sidney Hillman, and Mr. Edson with two cabinet | members, Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle ‘and Interior Secretary Harold | Ickes. | Trailing Wallace to this lair was another heat in the hare and ‘hounds race which Wallace played {with reporters. His train was two [hours late, and he dodged the wel{coming committee by getting off at 183d st. Driven to the Sherman | hotel, he held a brief conference at I o w a delegation headquarters, ducked into an elevator to go to {the 22d floor, ducked down to the {room of his manager, Jake More of (Harlan, Ia. on the ninth floor. | There he was announced that Mr. Wallace would rest until his press | conference at 3:30.

| Reporters Give Up

Most of the reporters gave up the chase. A few stuck around. Fifteen minutes later, just before 1 o'clock, Mr. Wallace left the hotel in comny with Dave McDonald, secretary |of the United Steelworkers of Amerfica; James G. Patton, president of | the Farmers’ Union, and C. B. Bald|win, former farm security adminis- | trator and now assistant to Sidney | Hillman, chairman of the C. I O. { political action committee. Hat in hand, with Patton at his |side and Baldwin and McDonald {bringing up the rear, Wallace strode [up Clark st. at a near trot, but in the noon hour rush, few recognized nim, There was an elevator waiting to {shoot the quartet right up to the penthouse on the 42d floor. The four reporters followed in the next car. It was a cul de sac. There were doors to the two tower passenger elevators and a service elevator, and a big door leading into the bungalow apartment. It was locked. A buzzer brought to the barely opened door James B. Carey, C. I. O. secretary, who with McDonald served as guard. They wouldn't let anybody in, and they wouldn't tell who was in.

the reporters stayed on watch while two others took the elevator down to the 40th floor to case fhe joint. They found one fire stairs leading to the bungalow, and caught Dave McDonald sneaking out.

Ickes, Biddle Arrive

A short time later Carey went down to the lobby, met Secretaries Ickes and Biddle, escorted them to the 39th floor, then up three flights of stairs to the back door of the bungalow. As they climbed the stairs, the Honorable Francis Biddle was heard to remark, “I didn’t think I'd ever do this for anybody.” Lunch came up for Biddle and Ickes. When a bus boy—who was all of 50—came out later he said, “Yes, Mr. Wallace there but I no get see. He around corner in other room. I want shake his hand. He been in my country—Russia. I want shake his hand.” It was now ahout 2:30. The plot was getting thick. What was happening was that the leaders of the C. I. O. Political Action committee were sitting up in this ritzy penthouse on the roof of one.of Chi cago's best hotels, summoning into their presence not only the vice president of the United States but two members of the President's cabinet, both arch New Dealers.

At this time, under these circumstances, there could be only one purpose of this meeting—to map strategy to secure the renomination of Henry Wallace for the vice presidency, though when the meeting broke up in mid-afternoon, none of those present would comment,

ORDER SAFEGUARDS AT CHILDREN'S HOME

Immediate construction of two {fire escapes at the overcrowded Marion county children’s guardians’ home, 5751 University ave., was to be ordered today by the state fire marshal’s office. Delbert A. Tafinger, chief in|spector of the fire marshal's office {said an order will be given the county commissioners to have the escapes installed within 30 days or | face legal proceedings: i The fire escapes were ordered hv the marshal’s office two years ago and money was appropriated for them more than a year ago but commissioners reported thev couldn't get materials for the work because of war priorities. and the money for them was withdrawn. Addison J; Parry, gounty council president, said the money wij be reappropriated for the work immediately along with any other extra funds needed for the guardians’ home. ) Arthur E. Wooden, county welfare

improvements is all that is needed for the institution now. He said the council's offer of money to increase wages for personnel is not needed now because there is sufficient balance in the

“What we need is experienced personnel,” Mr. Wooden said.

nine months. The boy was scheduled to be removed from thes home today or tomorrow to the Pt Wavne state school for the feeble-minded. :
