LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 22—A subcommittee of the State Democratic Committee met today in an atmosphere charged with bitterness to recommend procedure for nominating a successor to the late Senator Joseph T. Robin- son The subcommittee will report to the State committee tomorrow afternoon. The State committee can choose a Democratic nominee itself or call & party primary. In the past, Demo- eratic nomination to any major State office has been tantamount to election The State committee also has a third alternative—to take no action and let the special general election, now tentatively set for September 14, be a “wide open” affair in which candi- dates would run without party labels Opponents of this procedure warned that a field of several Democrats might 8 split the vote that a Republican would win, The prim manded by a was being loudly de- three-day-old “We ‘Want a Primary” Committee and by various individuals and groups.

C, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1937. ROOSEVELT AIDES PUSH HIS PROGRAM Senate Campaign Is' Begun for Completion at This Session. B7 the Associatea Press. A group of the Senate’s most ardent champions of the administration or- ganized a campaign today for comple- tion of ,the President's legislative pro- gram at this session of Congress. Senator Bone, Democrat, of Wash- ington, said the members would try to combat & growing sentiment to ad- Jjourn immediately after settlement of the court reorganization controversy. ‘The group will insist .that Con- gress stay in session, he said, until it pass at least three major measures— the housing, wage-hour and farm bills. “Since the opponents of the Presi- dent’s court program have been largely responsible for prolonging the session far into the Summer,” Bone said, “they can hardly use that delay as an excuse for adjourning while much 4 mportant work is still unfinished.” Major Legislation Opposed. Senator McNary, Republican, Oregon, the minority leader, however, he would oppose action on any major legislation. “The time has come to quit and go home,” McNary said. “We should study these other things and consider them next session.” Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho, at Dedication of du_rmg the dedication of the new N.
