WILSON c United Press Corespondent 0 Washington (U.R) Demo cratic National Chairman Paul jt. Twiot- sid today the party's 1956 conven tion will be gin July 23. in Chicago if no changes are made in cer tain state elec tion laws. Butler said that if certain states dp change their Lyle C Wilson election laws quickly to permit later conven tions the Democratic conclave will open on Aug. 13, 1956. Butler made the , announce ment as President Eisenhower met here with Republican party strategists to discuss the time and place of the 1956 GOP con vention at which it is likely he oWill be nominated for a second term. "Butler suggested to Democrat ic leaders in several states pos ' sible changes in their state elec tion laws to permit later presi dential nominating conventions. State Laws Interfere o An examination of state stat "Q utes, he said, shows that several (J states require certification of the e presidential canddates anywhere 0 from 70 to 8 days before elec ton day. o For instance, Connecticut re quires that candidates be certi fied to election officers as early " as Aug. 15. That would make it impossible to hold conventions after or near that date. 3 He announced that members of the Democratic National Com mittee in a mail poll had voted to hold the 1956 convention in 0 Chicago as unanimously recom mended by the site committee. : Butler said that opening the B Democratic convention on July 3 23 is the "latest possible date" '? in view of the existing laws. The Democratic National Committee prefers a later con- o vention date and a shorter cam paign. Butler noted that the Re- publicans also would prefer a later convention and briefer campaign.

The evecutive committee of New ; York's National Republican club called on the party Saturday to s rally around the draft. Atty. , Gen. Herbert Brown- ell Jr. was principal speaker be fore the club's 1,000 Lincoln Day dinner guests and fell eas ily into the pattern of recent - eulogies of the President which point toward a draft movement. e There was dissent from Chi cago where right' wing Republi cans made Lincoln Day the oc casion for a stop-Eisenhower maneuver. Utah's Republican Governor," J. Bracken Lee, spoke at a lunch related to a series of discussion meetings sponsored bv Chicago Republican groups. . TThe governor challenged Mr. Eisenhower's party loyalty and ,- -suggested that right wing Re- h publicans and Democrats, might w need to get together to form their own party if neither of the older groups can find room" for their , point of view. . , Sen.

(International) On The Side (Distributed by King tove is wonderful. With that claim I am in complete agree ment. I also concede marriage has much to recommend it and that everybody should try it at least once. However, I have grown weary of the domination of the television screen by dram as dealing with love and mar riage. Therefore, I was greatly entertained and refreshed by viewing that television play titled "Patterns." It was a powerful play, pow erfully acted. The love interest was subordinated to a highly dramatic clash of personalities. The performance of Jack Live sley in ."Patterns" was the best I have seen on television so far. Stupidity A New York lawmaker pro poses legalizing off - track horse wagering to be handled by lic ensed bookmakers. All taxes on same ,to go. to the government. There ; are seyeral stupid angles to this proposal but one that stands out like tan shoes on an undertaker is it would so de crease the mutuel machine wag ering at the track that they would be unable to operate. Big bettors would patronize the bookmakers so their wagers would not, affect the mutuel prices. That would deprive the tracks of so much revenue they would soon be far in the red.

Nehru Confident Of Formosa truce London (U.R) Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said today he is still confident diplo macy can win a Formosa truce and prevent the crisis from flar ing into war. - "The main reason for that hope is the success of the Geneva Conference last year which dealt with problems at least as diffi cult, if not more difficult, than the present far eastern problems and yet we found a way out," Nehru said. He made the statement to re porters shortly before his plane took off for New Delhi from the London Conference, of British Commonwealth Prime Ministers. He .planned a brief Paris stop over for talks with former Pre mier. Pierre "Mendes-France.

However, I have one in Paradise, Calif. , Disappointed Too many books announced for publication never reach the bookstalls; Michael Arlen said he was going to write one titled What Fun . Frenchmen' Have." He never did. I was greatly dis appointed. Then - a piano tuner of New York .informed me Jie was going to write a book titled "What I Have Learned About Women While; Tuning Pianos." I certainly looked forward to that. It was never written. I often wonder what the fellow really did "learn about women while tuning pianos. Passing By Mike Todd. Veteran showman.
