APPEASEMENT OF
IF TEXAN NAMED
(Continued from rase On.
Roosevelt But he evidently was
determined upon "business
appeasement" candidate (or sec
ond place on the ticket and
has picked Jones, Texas banker
and business leader, as the man.
Increasing DrosDects of a Aunt
over the vice presidency pro
mised to make later sessions or,
the convention more lively. The
sure-thing nature of the Im
pending Roosevelt renomina
tion has made the sessions
rather listless so far. But the
mention of the president's name
t today's session brought a
burst of applause and a few
cheers. The speaker was Mrs.
Thomas F. McAllister, director
of the women's division of the
national committee. She said
Democratic women opposed war
and trusted Mr. Roosevelt's
leadership in foreign affairs.
To Offset Willkie
' Farley's plan to nominate
Jones for vice president was
interpreted as an effort to off
set the business appeal of Wen
dell L. Willkie, the Republican
presidential candidate, who re
signed a $7S,000,0u0-a-year job
as head of Commonwealth &
Southern corporation to make
the race.
Farley's decision to back
Jones might narrow the vice
presidential maneuvering down
to two Texans principally. Sec
retary of Commerce Harry L.
Hopkins, director of, Roosevelt
third-term strategy here, was
mnnrted to be considering Rep.
Mam Ravburn. the Democratic
leader of the house, for the
post.
But many other candidates
still were working hard and
were hopeful of coming out on
top in the scramble.
Secretary of State Cordell
Hull, Mr. Roosevelt's first choice
for vice president, was report
ed to have refused to make the
race. Farley told friends today
that he believed Hull should
continue as secretary of state.
He said he believed that If the
International crisis required a
third term for the president, the
same argument applied with
equal force to the secretary of
state.
- rarley May Delay
If Hopkins, with Mr. Roose
velt's backing, attempts to nom
inate Rayburn and Farley con
tinues to back Jones, the con
vention will have an opportun
ity to give the party chairman
one last vote of confidence be
fore he steps out of politics by
nominating Jones.
It was reported that Farley
may have agreed to a plan to
retain the national committee
chairmanship until September
1, instead of quitting immedi
ately after the convention to
become president of the New
York Yankees baseball club.
Even so. it is likely that the
new chairman will be elected
her on Saturday. He would
serve with Farley during the
ensuing interval to learn the
. committee business.
The morning convention ses
slon was brief.
Mrs. McAllister euloglred the
leadership of Mr. Roosevelt and
mentioned the name of Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt for the
first time In the Democratic
proceedings. Mention of the
first lady drew applause.
Rep. Arthur W. Mitchell of
Illinois, only Negro member of
congress, predicted that eight of
10 Negroes who vote In Novem
ber would vote for Mr. Roose
velt. BRITISllElG

Jamea Roosevelt, the president's
son, has acquired distribution
rights to the British anti-nazi
film, "Pastor Hall," and his
mother, Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt, will narrate a prologue
explaining why the picture is
being shown In America, it was
disclosed today.
Roosevelt acquired the rights
after a private showing of the
film had impressed him. He ar
ranged a screening for Mrs.
Roosevelt, but offered at once
to assist in its presentation,
without compensation.
The film is patterned after
the case of the Rev. Martin
Niemoeller, German pastor,
who was Interned in a concen
tration camp after expressing
from the pulpit of his church
his opposition to certain nazi
policies, particularly the treat
ment of Jews.

with forgery, was sentenced to
serve four years in state prison,

thorities, forged a check on his
father for a small amount here
in 1038. He was arrested in Cali
fornia about a month ago, and
