WASHINGTON, June 11.-()-
Legislation to establish preferential
©presidential primary elections in all
states may be laid before the sen-
ate as a companion measure to a
- resolution limiting future presidents
to two terms.
o Senator Wheeler (D-Mont), a
supporter of the projected eight-
year limitation, announced he is
considering introducing the pri-
mary proposal in an effort to thwart
what he termed “horse trading” by
(which he said political conventions
M some times have chosen party nom-
Linees.
“I may offer a constitutional
amendment which would bring
the direct primary, into opera-
tion in every state in the presi-
O dential race,” Wheeler said in
an interview. “I believe it would
be a good thing for the country
to force all presidential candi-
dates out into the open, where
the people can see who is run-
o ning and have a chance to ex-
* press themselves.”
Wheeler said he had in mind the
establishment of preferential pri-
maries in which voters could regis-
ter their choice. Delegates to the
party conventions, chosen as they
Onow are and with the present ratio
between states maintained, then
would be morally bound to support
their state’s choice as long as he
had a chance to win.
“Of course,” the Montaina sena-
ctor said, “the delegates could not
“be bound irrevocably in case of a
deadlock but I believe such a sys-
tem would put an end to the old
custom of a few men sitting around
in a smoke-filled room and picking
a party nominee. It also would pre-
Ovent a candidate from stampeding
a convention as was done at Phila-
delphia last time.”
NOT FOR 1944
Wheeler said it obviously would
be impossible to obtain two-thirds

He declared, however, that the
proposal ought to be considered
along with the resolution of Sena-
tor Bailey (D-NC) which calls for
a constitutional amendment to pre-
vent any president, after its adop-
tion, from holding office for more
than two terms. The Bailey pro-
posal would not be operative against

WASHINGTON, June 11—(P)-
Back to the house went a com-
promise anti-strike bill today, just
one week after its passage there
over strong labor opposition.
One hour of debate was set
aside to dispose of the measure,
handiwork of a senate-house
conference committee that ad-
justed differences between the
two legislative branches, and
it was expected to be shuttled
over to the senate by nightfall.
Only one major provision on
which the house had insisted ear-
lier, a requirement that labor
unions file annual financial and
membership statements, was delet-
ed by the conferees, but its remov-
al was not expected to cause a row
of any consequence.
Still intact were provisions out-
lawing strikes in government-oper-
ated industries, such as the coal
mines, and providing penalties of
one year imprisonment and a $5,-
000 fine for anyone instigating or
directing such a strike or using
union funds to finance it. This
section, its backers said, was aim- I
ed directly at John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers.
While giving legal sanction to
strikes in non-government-operated
war industries, provided a major-
ity of the workers vote for a walk-
out in a secret election and 30 days
notice is given, the revised legis- |
lation strengthens the president’s
power to take over industries whose
operation is threatened by labor
trouble.
fourth term. -*
A preferential primary such as
Wheeler is talking about would be
a novelty in most states, since only
15 had provided for such an elec-
tion in the last presidential race in
1940. In several of these, the hold-
ing of such a primary was made
dependent on the decision of state
party committees.

The bill also establishes the
War Labor board as a statutory
agency and gives it power to
subpoena witnesses and settle
disputes in all war industries,
with the authority to main-
tain labor conditions at the sta-
tus quo while it deliberates.
Written into the measure by the
conferees was a requirement that
the WLB confine its decisions to
the scope of the labor relations act,
a requirement sponsors said would
prevent the issuance of closed shop
or maintenance of union member-
ship orders.
The measure returned to the
house less than 48 hours after the
American Federation of Labor dis-
tributed to its locals throughout the
country a “roll-call of labor’s en-
emies,” based on the house vote by
which the bill was passed last
week.

man, in fact he once threatened her

Hanna Williams Dempsey.
The titian-haired Hannah, on
the stand for the first time Thurs-
day in the divorce action brought
by her husband, said the Manassa
mauler once “picked me up by the
throat” and had “thrown me around
a bit.”
The day’s session ended abruptly
when Hannah, clutching a red
pocketbook in white-gloved hands,
broke into tears after saying she

Dempsey, she said. greeted
her by saying, “Where have you
been, you bum?” Afir
ing her of being out with men,
she added, he walked to a dres-
ser and “pulled out a very tiny
run" and he “held the gun to
my head and said, ‘you’re going
to be my wife or—‘"
She said she replied, "Well, I
wish you’d take one good shot and
put me out of my misery."
On another occasion she told the
court, Dempsey, who had been
away, asked her about a telephone
call she had made to her sister
in Florida, and became angry.
Several minutes later, she said, |
