I \ UI.I A OPENS CONVENTION H nllthllH'lt I'roni On«*> this roof to (he re-nomination of President Franklin I). Roosevelt and Vice-President John N. Garner. Hotel doors swung outward in midmorning to start (lie parade which will end Saturday night in Franklin Field where the 19.T6 nominees will formally accept the renondnations of their party. Swept, dusted an.l scrubbed, this boom-haby convention hail was glistenlng and fresh. It is a relic of the good old days, begun before the market ci.-iMii and completed In ItKtO at cost of $6,000,000. An on anist beneath the platform tuned up with "Dixie,” and made the pipes uiort a few bars of “Three Fong Years,” a Republican theme song being parodied by Democrats tor campaign purposes. Women were everywhere. Democrats claim there are mo^e of them at this convention than at any previous political gathering. At 11:12 a. m. the organist a woman—ceased coddling the keys and let the hall have it with all stops out on as full throated a music machine as ever wrecked the ears of veteran convention goers. The first whoop of the convention was by an unnamed Wyoming delegate who shinnied to the top of his anchored chair to brandish a cow country Stetson. Senator Joseph T. jRoblnson strolled in and the Wyoming cow’boy whooped some more. Sloganeers nave blazed the corririors with theme thoughts for Democrats and counters to such Republican jibs ns "Off the Rocks With Fnndon and Knox.” Samples: "The Fanner Remembers Longer Than the Elephant.” “Roosevelt or Reaction!” "I Want Roosevelt Again.” "Families Together, Men at Work.” "In 193.1 Business Begged For Help.” PHILADELPHIA, June 23 iITPl— Hew Deal strategists entered the Democratic platform battle today to demand a stronger bid for the sup-! port of "left wing" voters. Revision of several planks, including farm relief and monopoly, appeared likely before the suggestions of President Roosevelt are placed before the resolutions committee this afternoon as a foundation on which the party’s platform will be constructed. The committee will be organized under championship of Sen. Robert F Wagner of New York, immediately after Die opening of the conentioM at noon. It will get down to work without delay, starting off with open hearings and then spliting up into several groups to consider specific planks. Central and most silent of the platform builders was Wagner, who hud the President’s tentative platform outline in his pocket The draft, however was still open to revision. Av ilting the President’s leprescntativi in the convention corridors and the crowded hotels or following him here were half a dozen new deal capf.dns with emphatic opinions on the nece : it y for specific declarations of policy to take the wind out of the sails of the Lemke third party movement. They included: 1 Secretary of Agriculture Henry A Wallace, reportedly secluded in a hotel suite, w’ho renewed his insistence upon inclusion of federal crop insurance in the platform. The generalized language of the tentative plank failed to satisfy Wallace or former AAA administrator, Chester I'avis partly due to concern over whether the third party proposals and the liberal farm plank in the Republiesn platform would attract votes from the vast agricultural area where they believe the election next Novernber may be won or lost. In addition to endorsement of the administration policies on soil conervation and protection of the dome,she market, there were insistent demands for a federal guarantee, pos* :ably through increased bounty payments, against losses due to hail, drought, flood, etc. 2 Secretary of Interior Harold L. I ekes who hopes to include in the platform a permanent public works set-up along the present lines and including a blue-print of a program, fully approved, which could be put into operation to offset future depressions. 3 Thomas Corcoran and Benjamin V Cohen the "Brain Trust" drafters

of the original holding company death sentence legislation, circulated in the hotel lobbies where proposals for a drastic anti-monopoly plant were current Whether the platform would specifically refer to abolition of holding companies beyond the second degree remained uncertain, with >ppon--trv!s arguing that it was cot necessary to include a definite d*-ciaration •n view of legislation already in effect. At tlie same time, there was agitation to go on record in the platform and the recent tax legislation was cited a.s an example of administration tendency. In the original tax bill, there was a clause which corporation representatives asserted would be a death sentence” for all holding companies. This was eliminated. but m one draft of the final senate-house compromise tax bill there again appeared a sentence which partly restored tire restrictions. Again it was knocked out in the final drafting of the bill. J Vincent Miles, of the security ind exchange commission, arrived with a proposed plank understood to denounce the Republican platform proposals for speculative restrictions ami to endorse the New Deal program for the strict repulation of the nation’s exchanges as carried out by the Sec. One of the most interesting angles on the platform building centered on slight, aggressive Davit 'I. Wilentz. attorney general of New Jersey, a member of the resolutions committee and the man who prosecuted Bruno Richard Hauptman. executed for the kidnap-murder of the Lindbergh baby. Wilentz brought to Philadelphia a proposed plank on law enforcement. It recited that, when the Hoover administration went out of power, the country was over-run by racketeers and criminals, including bands of kidnapers and extortioners. Under the Roosevelt administration, the plank says, these criminals were slain or sent to prison for long terms, including such public enemies as the Barker Brothers, John Dillinger, George 1 Machine Gun > Kelly, Charles ' Pretty Boyi Floyd and Alvin Karpis. The plank would pledge the party to continuance of the present federal program as directed by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the federal bureau of investigation. to the end that the United States should never again permit the growth of criminal bands. Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York, also arranged to confer with Wagner, although he declined to discuss the planks in which he was interested. It was believed they might concern the St. Lawrence Waterway and the proposals for a constitutional amendment on minimum wages and maximum

hours.

The exact status of the constitutional amendment proposals appeared still in doubt, it was learned that a group of congressional Democratic leaders recently went over all such suggestions and discussed a tentative olank which had been drawn up. Pheir conclusions as described by me participant, were that the governnent should intervene in protection >f underprivileged workers only vhere such action could not be achieved by the states. In other words an amendment to the 14th unendment to the constitution might retrieve that purpose by permitting .he federal government to act along he lines it assumed in enforcing the Iry lawd/iThere did not appear, how•ver, to be any strong insistence on i plank calling for a constitutional unendment in view of the president’s lesire to achieve the goal within the constitution if possible. * One avenue of conflict over the currency plank was removed when Sen. Carter Glass ot Virginia, asserted that the would not be a member of the resolutions committee. Glass had been expected to fight the conservatives battle on the sound money plank It appeared however, that dispute over the currency program was fairly well ironed out, with the party likely to declare for a sound currency and to defend the new deal’s devaluation of the dollar as necessary and economically sound. In regard to international stabilization. it was considered significant that secretary of treasury Henry Mcrgenthau. Jr., recently said the government was prepared to cooperate with other money nations in that connection although there was no indication of any immediate action. The approval which John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers. gave the labor plank in Washington yesterday indicated there would be little or no controversy over that Issue I/wvis, it was recalled, did not
