The Roosevelt dominated platform subcommittee was agreed on a pro- posal to submit a repeal amendment to the states, but a stubborn contest impends, both in the whole resolution committee and on the floor. for a dec- laration recording the party for re- peal and for immediate modification of the Volstead act. More than two score other planks— carefuly trimmed to one paragraph each to keep the platform if possible, within the record breaking goal of 1,000 words, have been tentatively ac- cepted. Farm relief. unemployment and war debt planks alone remain for com- pletion ahead of the tail-end prohibi- tion one when the committee re- sumed deliberations Monday morning Since the membership was divided on the agricultural declaration, it was arranged to have an open hearing on this question late in the day.

Roosevelt Monday ordered his sup- porters at the Democratic National Convention here to cease their ef- forts to abrogate the long-establish- ed two-thirds rule and thereby end- ed what was rapidly becoming a bit- terly-contested battle. In his statement, issued at Albany and sent to James A. Farley, his convention manager, Roosevelt said he was confident of nomination with- out abrogating the rule. He said the action was taken in the interest of party harmony and not because he had swerved from his opinion that the rule is “undemocratic.” Farley promptly accepted the order, saying “this telegram speaks for it- self.” Until Roosevelt acted, indications were that the rule would be abro- gated but at the expense of great bitterness and hard feelings.

Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, an Al Smith supporter, said he would take to the convention itself a plank committing the party to repeal, not merely submission. Decision on the prohibition issue was deferred by the resolutions sub- committee until late in the day, but there was every evidence that domin- ant Roosevelt forces would approve a plank calling for submission of a re- peal amendment without committing the party to repeal.
