You, the customer, will decide whether or not they

Natually, then, you can trust the advertisements in this

to do so.

Texans Delay e
Charting Course
for Convention
9 —2 " n >
PHILADELPHIA June 23.—(-
Exuberant Texas Democrats, off to
a false but uvely start at organiza-
tion, assembled again today before
opening of their party's national
convention to select committee
members and chart their course for
the week.
A caucus called last night ended
in disorder when, after atonal an
hpur of argument, a motion for ad-
journment until today finahy was
passed.
The adjournment motion was
made, amended and the vote was
about to be ordered when another
moalon to sidetrack it was proposed,
Pbints of order were raised in rapid
suocesslon and at one'point Sen-
ator Tom Connally, the delegation
chairman, shouted: "There can be
no points of order, because there is
no order!"
Argue Delay
State Senator Tom Pollard of Ty-
ler and Fred Upchurch of Austin
originally suggested the ovemight
delay because some of the dede-
gates had not had time to “get

Glass Not on
Platform Body
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.—i—
Governor George C. Peery today
succeeded Senator Carter Glass as
the Virginia representative on the
1936 Democratic national platform
committee.
Glass' name, at his own request,
was not presented to the Virginia
delegation's initial caucus today
Peery was placed In nomination by
Senator Harry F Byrd, the Virginia
national committeaman: The gov-
ernor's election was unanimous.
The veteran Glass, who last night
said that he was "tooworn out by
congressional duties" to do any work
at this convention, sat silently with
his secretary at the caucus as his
40 years of continual service as na-
tional platform builder te.minated.
Painted by an enrollee at the
camp, a large road-sign recently
erected at the Denton CCC eamp
has for the past several days at-
tracted much attention from mo-
torists passing by, many halting
their cars to inspect the work more
closely.

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.—(——
Talk of possible surprises in the ।
Democratic platform was stirred to-
day by an unexplained delay in the'
arrival of a White House draft of I
the party program.
Senator Robert F. Wagner of New
York, prospective chairman of the
resolutions committee, who had been
expected all day long yesterday with
the Rooseveltian platform, did not
turn up until today.
No word as to what the draft con-
tains was obtainable from him im-
mediately. but his delayed journey
gave rise to speculation that it might
have been drastically revised by
President Roosevelt in view of re-
cent political developments.
It was recalled that the New York
senator had planned to come to
Philadelphia last Friday. Then his
trip was postponed to Sunday. Ap-
parently authentic word was pass-
ed out almost every hour yesterday
that he was due "in a few minutes."
Many time during the intervening
period he has been reported at the
white House conferring with the
preeident. Expectant platform mak-
ers here have disclatmed meanwhile
any knowledge of what changes, If
any, were being made in the plat-
form. • *
Speculation has centered on pos-
sible changes in the labor. monopoly
and constitutiopa planks There has
been talk of a last minute change
to include a constitutional amend-
ment plank, but it has been dis-
counted by informed leaders.
Whatever the White House sug-
gestions turn out to be. they were
almost assured a friendly reception
by the make up of the platform
committee.
Glass Out

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.—UP)—
Dixie die hards opposing abroga-
tion of the two-thirds rule at Dem-
ocratic conventions declared today
that if it is scrapped the unit rule
should be discarded, too.
Otherwise, they said, the day
may come when a man will be
nominated for president by a mere
minority or the delegates.
The two-thirds rule requires that
a candidate must receive the votes
of two-thirds of the convention
delegates before he, can pe nomi-
nated for president or vice-presi-
dent. The other regulation, which
is in effect in some state delega-
tions, says that a delegation must
vote as a unit, according to the
dictates of the majority within
it. •
Administration leaders express in-
creasing confidence that the two-
thirds rule will go hy the boards. In
that case Senator Harry F Byrd
said he would demand that the
convention disapprove the unit
rule.
Would Favor Change
Under the unit rule, he foresaw
a possibility that a bare majority
of delegates in a group of big states
might bottle up for their favored
candidate the entire' vote of suca
states, and thus give him a ma-
jority. But the helpless dissenters
in these big states, plus the dis-
senters in other states, might con-
stitute an actual majority of the
convention.
The senator conceded there prob-
ably was little the convention could
do about the unit rule except rec-
ommend that states discourage its
adoption. He said he believed some
states had imposad this rule by
statute.
Chief opposition to repeal of the
two thirds rule came from the "Old
South."
There were some defections, how-
ever. For instance, Senator Rob-
inson of. Arkansas, majority floor
leader of the senate, said:
■ “I think I’ll support abroga-
tion."
monetary plank reinserted." Glass
said, "although I would like to see
it. I rather expect to see something
about silver i the 1938 platform."
Glass said Wagner was carrying
the patform in his pocket. Asked
if it contained any of his views, the
Virginian replied with an emphatic
"No."
This lent weight to the belief in
some quarters that the platform
would make few concessions to Uie
"conservative” .wing or the party. |
but would be designed to hold the i
"liberals" in line.
The make-up of the platform com-
mittee also added strength to this
view. Among the senators already
chosen to serve were such New
Deal supporters as Byrnes, of South
Carolina; Wheeler of Montana;
Thomas of Oklahoma; Murphy of
Iowa; O'Mahoney of Wyoming:
Black of Alabama; and Pope, of
Idaho, as well as Wagner.
Other senators on the committee
included George of Georgia, and
BaUey of North Carolina, who have
been more critically inclined.
Employment Proposal
Senator Thomas said he would
offer a plank proposed by Governor
E W Marland of Oklahoma, de-
claring it the “duty of the govern-
ment" to provide "employment at
fair wages in useful public work to
all able-bodied men who are not
needed in productive occupations."
Several labor union spokesmen
wanted a declaration for a consti-
tutional amendment to permit min-
imum wage legislation for women; a
shorter work week, and a require-
ment that a two-thirds vote of the
Supreme Court would be necessary
to invalidate legislation.
Some farm organizations were
asking for crop control and a varie-
ty of other agricultural ads in ad-
dition to managed currency.
