TWO CENTS. ROOSEVELT'S FATE HINGES ON FIGHT ON TWO-THIRD RULE Defeat of Governor Seen in Losing Majority Nomina- tion Battle. BY HAGUE STATEMENT | Jersey City Mayor Declares New| Yorker Has No Chance to | Win if Chosen. ! BY G. GOULD LINCOLM Stair Correspondent of The Star. CHICAGO, T1l, June 24.—The Roose- | velt forces, announcing they will seek | immediate abolishment of the century- | old two-thirds rule of nominating can- didates in the Democratic Naticnal| Convention, have done a bold thing. | With more than a majority of the | delegates lined up for Roosevelt, they | believe they can smash the rule and adopt majority rule. | But whether all the Roosevelt dele- gates will favor such action is still a question. The Roosevelt leaders are relying on the bitterness stirred up in the coming battle over the rule to hold their forces in line. For the plan to abolish the rule will be stoutly and bit- terly contested by the anti-Roosevelt Democrats generaily. | 1If Roosevelt and his delegates win | this fight, the Jig is up. Roosevelt will be nominated and Al Smith and all the | ;nvfrllc son candidates will be out of | uck. { If he loses this contest, Roosevelt's candidacy will have received a blac eye Many of the Democratic leaders hai! | the mcve as courageous. Others declare | it stupid. Fight to Go to Floor, But these results will not be brought | about without a desperate fight. It will be carried to the floor of the con- | veémov, Roosevelt's opponents declared | today. The abrogation of the two-thirds rule is a threat which the Roosevelt leaders have held over the heads of the oppo- sition. In view of the nasty fight which the Roosevelt opposition has indicated it intended to make against the New York Governor, a group of Roosevelt supporters from practically every State in the Union and the Territories and the District of Columbia at a meeting last night adopted the following resolu- tion: “That it be the sense of this gather- ing of the friends of Franklin D. Rocse- velt that we pledge ourselves to do all| within our power to bring about the abolition of the two-thirds rule and the adoption of the majority rule in this Democratic convention.” The RooseVeitians say they have ab- solute control of the Rules Committee of the convention which is to be ap- pointed when the convention meets. They have seen to this, with the dele- gations instructed and favorable to Roosevelt instructed to select, strong Roosevelt men for service on the com- mittee. Bruce Kreme: of Montana, Democratic _national committeeman, | has been picked by the Roosevelt crowd to head the Rules Committee The convention When it meets Mon- day will provide for the appointment of a committee on rules, as well as for committees on resolutions, credentials and permanent organization. The Roosevelt forces expect to dominate all these committees. The Rules Commit- | tee is empowered to report to the con- vention a new set of rules, including a majority rule for nominations, and | these new rules can then be adopted| by a majority vote of the convention. | The decision of the supporters of | Gov. Roosevelt, meeting in the Roose- velt headquarters last night, was made, | it was said, by James M. Farley, Demo- | cratic State chairman of New York and | field marshal of the Roosevelt forces, | without consultation with Gov. Roose- | velt in Albany. It was the action of, the Roosevelt supporters “on their own.” | Early Move to Be Made. Mr. Farley said today that be assumed | the move to abolish the two-thirds rule | would be made at the start of the con- | vention. He said “We are going to follow through on the resolution we adopted last night. | We will move to abrogate immediately." | He said that the opponents of abroga- | tion of the two-thirds rule would un-| doubtedly bring o a minority report from the Rules Committee | The convention,” he said to decide.” He brushed aside the argument o! Roosevelt opponents that it w unfair to sbolish the two-thirds and leave the unit rule in effe sald that only the States themselves can decide the unit rule for tne indi vidual Stetes.

Spontaneous Movement. Inspector L I. H. Edwards said that lice reserves would not be called un- less the situation became definitely threatening and that no exceptional precautions were planned for the pres- ent. ‘The mobilization order sent out this afternoon resulted from an apparently | | spontaneous movement which _started this morning in the camp of the sixth regiment of veterans from the Southern States at Fourth street and vania avenue, which resulted in the unannounced appearance of several hundred men on the steps of the Senate Office Building. The announced intention was to call by twos and threes at the offices of all | the Senators from the States repre- sented and ask them to give thelr re sons for voting agajust the bonus pay ment. Orders we' issued in the 6th Regiment Camp nat nobody would be allowed in the mess line tonight who could not show a card initialed by one of his State Senators as evidence that he had called on him today. Waters was not aware of the move until it was well underway, but indorsed | it heartily when he learned of it. The plan, according to Leslie John- son of South Carolina, assistant in command of the 6th Regiment, who led the delegation this morning, is to a constant flow of veterans through the offices of the Senators and members of the House until Congress adjourns. Move Surprises Waters. “We've got 1800 men in the 6th Regiment lying around and doing nothing while a few have done all the lobbying. We want to put a stop to that,” said Johnscn. “We came here to get the bonus and hereafter every man has got to work to that end or he doesn't eat. These Senators are sure going to know that we're here.” Even the men who voted for the bonus, Johnson said. will be visited con- stantly in order “to keep up their in- terest.” The plan, as o land. leader of ned by Clem Strick- Texas delegation, men at a time to call on a Senator {rom their own State, persist until they granted an audi- ence, and then demand his reasons for | voting agalasi the bonus bill or ask his7 | suggestions for renewing the fight.

The move, from the accounts of the leaders, seems to have arisen spon- taneously in the 6th Regiment camp. It was as much of a surprise to Walter W. Waters, national commander, as to the police and Senate Office Building guards Waters arrived on the scene about two hours after Southern veterans’ gathering on the Senate Office Building steps largely had dissipated. He said the move had not originated at B. E. F. headquarters that he was thor- oughly in accord with it and that it might well be taken up by the rest of the bonus army.

Senators Walcott of Connecti- cut and La Follette of Wisconsiu joined in the protest. “I cannot escape the conclusion,” said Senator Walcott, “that the provision will force the separation of couples who have children to support. 1 know of | three cases in which separation would be necessary.” Vigorous protests also were made against provisions permanently curtail- ing annual leave to 15 days, beginning | with the 1934 fiscal year; the 50 per cent cut in the night pay differential and the section which, Senator Bratton of New Mexico and others believed, would deny District policemen and fire- men and other employes exempted from the compulsory furlough any annual leave with pay in the 1933 fiscal year. Senator Jones of Washington, in charge of the economy bill, explained, | however, that under his latest inter- pretation of the annual leave clause the various classes of employes who get a salary cut instead of a payless fur- lough would not be deprived of leave in the coming fiscal year. Frank admission was made by Sen- | ator Jones that he did not favor all of the changes made in the bill by the Conference Committee or the House. Some 60 or 70 provisions of the bill, he pointed out, had to be settled by com- | promise. | Furloughs May Be Longer. | Senator Jones aiso admitted tnat under the bill in its present form the | projected one-month payless furlough | may be extended to three or even four | months in the case of departments | with sharply curtailed appropriations. | Furlough extensions, he said, could be | made under the provision giving de- partment heads authority to order in- | definite furloughs to keep within ap- propriations. | Senator Logan, Democrat, {tucky, opposed changes in the im- pounding clause returning amounts |saved through pay reductions into the | Pederal Treasury instead of applying them to retain workers in the service He contended that under reductions in appropriation bills and the economy bill, employes are getting a “double cut.” The economy bill, Senator Jones ex- plained, should be considered apart from the appropriation bills. “There may be a cut so far as bureaus are | concerned, but it will not be a cut in | salaries,” Jones added. Senator PBrat- | ton joined him in this view. Senator La Follette was particularly bitter in his denunciation of the alleged “inequities” in the bil. “If the friends \of this bill had approached this prob- lem from a sympathetic point of view and had been wiliing to resist the drive | to-have Congress ‘adjourn in order that they might attend the Democratic con- vention,” he declared, “they could have ironed out many of the inequalities and injustices which they have incorporated in this report.” ‘ The Senate amendment relating to sick leave was attacked by Senator Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, who declared it would work an injustice on | employes of navy yards, arsenals, the Government Printing Office and the Bureau of ving and Printing, who have no sick leave. “ should the Senate have left out these classes of employes I mention?” asked Brookhart. “Under the law they get no sick leave, and will get none under this conference report, whereas all other employes get their sick leave all right.” of Ken-
