StopTnunan Fight Continues Despite Eisenhower's Stand I By The Associated Press A las ditch stop-Truman . movement drove grimly ahead last night In the hope that General Dwight D. Eisenhower can be drafted for the democratic, presidential nomination despite his refusal to take it. New attention was thrown on the name of Supreme Court Justice William 0- Douglas as a possible nominee with the same aim of side-tracking the president's ambitions for election. Douglas Supported In Massachusetts, all delegates to next Greek's- nominating con vention' were urged to support Douglas. (Letters were sent them by a committee headed by former U. S. Rep. Thomas H. Eliot. Eliot said Douglas had not authorized the action. Douglas name will be put be fore the convention, asserted Leon C. Henderson,' chairman of Amer icans for Demorcratic Action. Henderson said in a statement, however, j; that ADA still hopes Eisenhower can be persuaded to run. h In Illinois, an unofficial survey among members of the 60-vote f delegation indicated Mr. Truman bad gained strength after the lat est Eisenhower disavowal of po litical ambitions, while some pro Eisenhower delegates indicated a leaning to Douglas. Pro-Truman Illinois lie a d e r s ' discounted the Douglas talk then. O'Mshoney Proposed - One stop-Truman leader, Wil liam Ritchie, Nebraska state dem ocratic chairman, said he will sug .gest Senator CXMahoney of Wyo ming for. the presidential nom ination. p'Mahoney is a candidate for vice j presidential nomination and a friend of Mr. Truman. Although pre-convention cau cuses still were scheduled by anti- Truman .leaders, the president s backers exultantly viewed the Eisenhower statement as the clincher for Mr. Truman' nom ination on tne Ilrrt bauot. Eisenhower's "Nof was sub jected to a close between-the-lines study by those who seek ot draft him, looking for loopholes. Strategists Meet Mr. Tiiuman, returning to Wash ington from , Bolivar, Mo., had "no comment" on Eisenhower's state ment. But aides said the president felt that the only formidable threat to a first ballot Truman nomination had been removed. He headed back to the White House to help plan the moves to head oft any renewed Elsenhower threat t next week s convention. . Momentarily slowed, the Eisen hower bandwagon got going ahead in this J a m e s Roosevelt, California state chairman and son of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, declaredj democrats- should nominate Eisenhower as a "nation al candidate." He renewed the call for cau cus Saturday fat Philadelphia of democratic delegates to settle on candidate. He. got quick "ayes" back frotn Eisenhower draft lead ers. ! ! , Roosevelt reasoned that Eisen hower "jsill not serve as a parti san president but will answer a call to national duty."

By Max Half PHILADELPHIA, July Democrat platform writers faced this headache as they arrived here today: Whether to pledge re neal of . the Taft-Hartley labor law. , The labor plank of the 1948 platform will stir up some argu ments in the party's resolutions committee which starts hearings tomorrow. The CIO, represented by Secre tary James Carey, and the AFL, represented by President William Green, will ask the committee later in the week to go on rec ord for the wiping out of the labor, law. Democrats who want to pledge repeal say: That President Truman vetoed the Taft-Hartley bill and strongly condemned it a year ago. That it became law only after the republican-dominated congress overrode his veto. That the law bears the names of two republicans and has become known as a republican measure. A democrat pledge to repeal It would not only please labor lead ers but It would fit in with Mr. Truman's strategy of blasting the record of the 80th congress. On the other hand, many other democrats say there : would be political disadvantages In pledg ing repeal. The democrats, who are at tneir strongest in the big cities and among industrial workers, want to capture as large a proportion of the farm, rural and small city vote a spossible. Maybe a pledge of repeal would displease some non-labor groups. Harry! Ends Tenirht!
