WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 (U. P). ~Its still sometime until the 1945 presidential inauguration but — come Roosevelt or Dewey—Washington hotels already are receiving the vanguard of inaugural reservations

One hotel reported: receipt of more than 100 room requests for the Jan. ' ceremony and two of the other iihree prominent line-of-march establishments also had some reservations for street-side rooms. Some hotel officials said reservations were lagging behind those for peace-time inaugurations. The war and the possibility of having the same principal in the leading role were described as most probable reasons for the lag. The Mayflower, one of the town’s leading hotels, said that more-than 100 reservations had come in, “mostly from politicians"—parties

Hotels near the Capitol, where the ceremonies ordinarily are held. reported that “only a few” reservations had been made but said they were not concerned because of. existing housing conditions.

FOR-HILLMAN

Hannegan Says No Truth In Statement Made By Bricker. -

CHICAGO: Sept. 12 (U. P)— Chairman Robert E. Hannegan of the Democratic national committee

instructed him to “clear everything with Sidney” (Hillman) at the Democratic national convention last July. “The President did not say thaf, nor did he say anything else that could have been tortured to convey that meaning,” Hannegan de~ clared yesterday, adding that Governor John Bricker of Ohio, Republican vice presidential candidate,

“That story is absolutely untrue,” Hannegan continued. “I don’t know who invented it. I presume that Republican orators will keep re-

electon day in the forlorn hope that some people will believe it is true and identify this one as {fabricated out of whole cloth.”

Favored Senator Truman

... Asked whether Hillman, chairman of the C. I. O. Political Action Committee, had influenced! Democratic convention palicies, Hannegan said: “If he was a delegate, then he had a vote.” : Hannegan said that although he favored Senator Harry 8. Truman for vice president, he did not sidetrack Vice President Henry A. Wallace for the renomination. Hillman said he favored Wallace in Hannegan's only meeting with him during the convention, according to Hannegan.

Raps GOP Campaign

“Instead of straightforward discussions that go to the heart of peace and post-war employment the Republicans have engaged in repeated attacks against a leader of organized labor,” Hannegan said. “The Republican high command deplores the efforts of the working man to make his political views effective by making a small contribution to an organization establishéd for’ the purpose of supporting the administration which has defended his rights.” Hannegan arrived in Chicago yesterday for a conference with Democratic leaders from 22 midwestern and southern states on campaign finances and strategy,

DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 12 (U, PJ). — Pro-Administration - Democrats played for high stakes today, with possibly the November election in the balance, as they carried the fight for a complete slate of electors pledged to President Roose-

velt and Senator Harry 8. Truman to the floor of the Texas state convention. The schism between the two factions widened as the convention opened, following rejection of a compromise plan to list two sets of electors on the national ticket. The compromise, which was advanced by Gov. Coke R. Stevenson, reportedly had been approved by President Roosevelt. As the situation stands, 15 of the state’s 23 electors have announced they will follow instructions at the May convention and vote for some other Democrat, probably Senator Harry 8. Byrd, of Virginia, if Texas goes Democratic in November, as it usually does. Loss of the 15 electoral votes in a close election might swing it in favor of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, or throw it into the house of representatives for & decision.

MRS. NORRIS LISTS 3 GOALS OF WOMEN

Times Special GREENSBURG, Sept. 12—In a speech here yesterday before the Decatur County Republican Women’s club, Mrs. Fern Norris of Indianapolis enumerated “three demands uppermost in the minds of American women.” American women, she said, generally are asking for: 1. Immediate return of as many servicemen as possible upon cessation of hostilities. 2. A job for every veteran. 3. Formulation of a “realistic and everlasting peace.” Mrs. Norris is the G. O. P. candidate for reporter of the supreme and appellate courts.

[SUPRENE COURT G CRITICISM FLED

{Bar Group Gets Resolution | Intimating Influence of

Administration.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12 (U. P.) ~The annual conference of the American Bar association today had under consideration a resolution charging that supreme court decisions “reflect the governmental philosophy and political purpose of the administration by which its judges were appointed and of which many of them recently were a part.” The resolution, presented last night by J. Cleo Thompson, Dallas attorney, charged that the court “has repeatedly overruled decisions, precedents and ignores landmarks of the law of long standing.” “By disregarding these principles,” the resolution declared, “the supreme court has created such a state of uncertainty as to what the law is that it has rendered it impossible for even the practicing lawyer to advise his clients as to what the law is today or even to offer a guess as to what it will be tomorrow.” Manley O. Hudson, judge of the World Court, told the association that there are no insurmountable difficulties that will prevent realizition of the aims of the Dumbarton Oaks conference, and its proposals do not threaten any nation with loss of its sovereignty. Hudson said there is “every guarantee that before the stage of commitment is reached our public will have ample opportunity to appraise and if necessary to criticize” the conference recommendations. Apprehension about fanciful dangers, rather than difficulties arising from “avowed opposition,” will imperil post-war international unity, he said.

LOUISIANA VOTERS AT POLLS TODAY

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 12 (U.P.). —Louisiana voters were treking to the polls today to pick the Democratic nominees for U., S. senator and eight congressmen. Less than 350,000 ballots were expected to be cast in the state primary. Numerous judgeships, state posts and parish offices also were slated for nomination. The fourth district, where Incumbent Rep. Paul H. Maloney is opposed by four candidates, was expected to see the most lively voting. Senator John H. Overton of Alexandria, the incumbent, is opposed by Charles 8. Gerth and E. A. Stephens, both of New Orleans, and

Hale and Smtih had been bitterly opposed by the CI.O:P.AC. in the campaigning. Pettis, president of the shipbuilders union in Portland and a Republican turned Democrat, had been expected to give Hale more of a race.

Republicans long have claimed"

that when the September Maine vote was 60 per cent or more in their favor, they won the presidential election. This held true from the Civil war until the second Roosevelt term in 1936. That year the Republicans won in Maine by approximately 60 per cent. Again in 1940, the barometer failed when Maine wenf 65 per cent Republican. Yesterday's balloting fell approximately 100,00 votes short of the 252,000 cast four years ago. Hildreth will succeed Republican Gov. Sewall who is retiring.
