t Th Stat man. Saint. Owgoa Wadnaaday, July 23. Eleanor Receives Convention Cheers CHICAGO (iPy-Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, cheered to the echo In the greatest ovation of the Democratic National Convention, stoutly defended the foreign policy of the Truman administration Tuesday night and pleaded for support of the Korean war. To the jam-packed amphitheater she read from an undelivered speech by her late husband, the World War II President. It was a Dlea for Americans to aecucate themselves to making an abiding peace. Mrs. Roosevelt said: 'I would say to you today we must keep the faith, strive to strengthen the U. N. which is the one machine through which we must work for greater under standing and eventually we hope for a peaceful world." The convention gave her a 15 minute demonstration when she came before it. And there was another ovation when she con cluded. Undelivered Speech The undelivered FDR speech from which Mrs. Roosevelt read was one she said he had prepared for a Jefferson Day dinner in Washington, April 13, 1945. He died at Warm Springs, Ga., a few days before that date. This "last -message" as Mrs. Roosevelt termed it concluded with these words: The only limit to our realiza tion of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move for ward with strong and active faith." A nti - Administration CHICAGO (iSVThe Democratic Convention Credentials Committee Tuesday night voted to 6eat anti administration delegations from Texas and Mississippi.

Thus the two "regular" dele gations won another round in their bitter feud with "loyalist" contingents from the two South ern states. Struggle. Ahead Ahead lay" a struggla on the convention floor. The same arguments were ma da substantially in both cases. On the one hand the anti-ad ministration factions dubbed ''Dixiecrats" by their rivals claimed they represented heavy majorities of Democrats in the two states. On the other hand, the "loyal ist" or pro-Truman factions claim ed that while they may be in the minority in their states they were loyal administration followers and did not bolt the party as did the anti-Truman Democrats in the South four years ago.
