MONTREUX. Switzerland. June
33 —(— Sarcasm and criticism
hung over an international confer-
ence today on Turkey's request to
refortity the Dardanelles.
A Turkish program, aimed toward
revision of the Lausanne pact of
1933. evoked objections from sever-
al delegations at the sessions.
Critical comment followed what
were considered to be Turkish con-
cessions to Russia, together with
what were described as deliberate in-
equalities to other nations over
use of the straits including the Bos-
phorus, the Sea of Marmora and Wie
Dardanelles.
The Turkish program - discussed
in a secret session today—some of
the conferees and particularly the
British thought, would give Russia
virtually unlimited freedom to send
warships from the Black Sea to the
Mediterranean.
To the contrary, the rights of
other nations to dispatch fighting
vessels to the Black Sea were sharp-
ly curtailed or denied altogether.
All who filed applications for
places on the July 35 primary bal-
lot in Denton County paid the as-
sessments. and their names will be
included on the ticket, according
to W L. McCormick, chairman of
the county Democratic Executive
Committee.
The time for paying the assess-
ments ended Saturday night, and
the county sub-committee met Mon-
day to prepare the copy for the pri-
mary ballots, contract for the
printing of which probably will be
awarded this week, McCormick said.
The ticket contains 101 names
this year, including state, district,
county and precinct offices. Two
years ago th ticket had 130 names

said. "We may hold a conference

CONVENTION HALL,
PHILADELPHIA, June 23-
,AP)—At peace within, the
Democratic convention as-
sumed a warlike, unyielding
attitude toward conservative
and liberal opposition alike
today in a fleeting but vi-
brant opening session. The
standards of all 43 states
were waved in a tumultuous,
parading demonstration for
President Roosevelt which
lasted 30 minutes.
An unsmiling James A. Farley,
himself always expressing confi-
dence. warned the party cohorts
against over-confidence while cas-
tigating the Republican ticket and
platform as one the electorate
would reject in November.
After hearing him praise the New
Deal, the platform workers un-
der Senator Bob Wagner of New
York repaired again to their con-
ference room* to discuss the poli-
cies upon whlcth the party this
week-end will ask re-election of

dent from private comments, no
dissenters on hand showed the
least inclination to join Al Smith
in his "Walk.”
Not naming Smith, Farley refer-
red to him only obliquely by ar-
raigning the American liberty
League He repeated that the
league, which Includes Smith and
some former Democratic leaders,
is a "DuPont" creature and backs
the Republican ticket.
"Give ’em hell, Jim," cried one
of the hundreds who stood up wav-
ing flags to make the vast audi-
torium floor a shifting brilliant
panorama. -
Parade for Roosevelt
With Farley’s climactic praise
of the President as “capable and
courageous," a rollicking, pellmell
procession got going around the
aisles. Among the fikst standards
hoisted were those or Rhode Is-
land and other Eastern States
which stayed with Smith against
Roosevelt to the last in Chicago.
Farley smiled broadly.
One veteran convention figure
was missing when the time for pa-
rading came. Senator Carter Glass
of Virginia, who fears he won't
like the monetary plank, had left
in the middle of the Farley ad-
dress, saying nothing.
