John W; Bricker of Ohio and Senator Har ry F, Byrd Virginia democrat .S: In voting against such a recess mendation, the committee heeded arguments of former -Rep. John J. ; O'Connor of New York and others that it would be better to exert efforts against a fourth terra at the democratic convention. ; ' Winding up a two-day. meeting the troop voted to call a. ceoven , tion of "all anti-new deal organ , izations" if the democrats renom inate President Roosevelt. The committee's caucus got no official recognition from republi cans already on hand for the par . . ty's national convention beginning Monday. ' . .; '. GOP Chairman Harrison Span gler, . expressing belief: there would be no- deadlocked ballot ing, predicted to reporters that the convention 'will nominate a presidential candidate on its third - day and wind up on its fourth aft er selection of a vice presidential nominee, f '. The resolutions committee gets down to wofk ; today on a pro posed platform. Subcommittees already have done much prelim inary work. In Texas, the state -supreme court is ' expected to rule today on a move by a pro-Roosevelt democratic faction to have demo cratic presidential electors chosen in the July 22 primary. ' Enemy Engage Navy (Continued from page 1) unhappy, even with our plane production. Nimitz, whose announcements and observations were made at a press conference, expressed con viction that the enemy so far has been able to replace plane losses in the war to date. In operations of fleet against fleet, he pointed out the Japs have the advantage of Laad based . air reconnaissance west f the Marianas and the Ameri ca fleet has as Its first abllga tlon the protection of the Sai pan Invasion troops. ...,, With -their reconnaissance ad vantage, the Japanese decided Sunday they had enough Informa tion to launch carrier-based plane strikes on the fleet, the admiral noted. "They have made a very strong bid but took a very severe beat ing in losing 300 carrier type ' planes," he said. I Such carrier planes are most valuable to the Japs because of the long pilot training required fori carrier operations. Concerning the strength of the American fleet off the Marianas, Nimitz remarked: "I can safely say that there was enough power to be favorable to us in a decisive engagement "We hope the Jap fleet will stay in that area. As long as they stay, we have a chance to get at them." Because of. the Marianas' Im portance in a ker defense line for Japan, the China coast and the Philippines. the enein Is snaking tremendous effort to hold Salpan. Nimlts explained. - He said the Japanese lacked ; the sea strength to use the Mari anas as a springboard for any strike east at the American force "but the Japs need to hold them to keep us from penetrating west of their island defense line." Tm not ; optimistic enough to say we will finish Saipan in two or three days (it was invaded June H and the southern end now has been boxed off by a drive from west to east) but we've made good start ' . . "Once we've taken the Marianas It will be like money in the bank and we can project our sea mvw hundreds of miles to the west of there." i" Evenson New Curate For Portland Church PORTLAND, June 20-CD-Ap-pointment of the Rev.
