A4 x War Increases Talk Of Third-Term Drive By the New Deal Dewey Supporters Break With Simpson and Lay Plans to Oust Him By G. GOULD LINCOLN. Political campaigning on the American front advanced in sev- eral directions during the last week. First, the war developments abroad, including the invasion by Germany of Scandinavia, increased the New Deal talk of a third-term drive for President Roosevelt. Second, Thomas E. Dewey, racket- busting New York district attorney, cleaned up in the Nebraska presi- dential preferential primary at the expense of Senator Arthur H. Van- denberg of Michigan, his opporent. Third, Mr. Dewey rolled up an impressive vote in the Illinois presi- dential preferential primary, where he was unopposed. Fourth, President Roosevelt's big vote in Illinois—where he was en- tered in the primary against Vice President Garner—again demon- strated the fact that the nomina- tion is his if he will take it. Break With Dewey Faction. Fifth, Mr. Dewey's supporters in New York broke openly with Ken- neth F. Simpson, and laid plans to oust Mr. Simpson from his place as Republican national committee- man for New York. The skids were placed under Mr. Simpson at a meeting of tk‘_xe Re- publican State Committee in Al- bany on Friday, the commmeeI adopting a resolution calling for the | election of New York’s National Committee members by the dele- gates to the Republican National Convention in advance of the meet- ing of the national convention. Mr. Simpson’s effort to have the reso- Jution tabled was defeated, 209 to 39. A date for a meeting of the dele- gates may not be called for sev- eral weeks. But when they do meet, it is expected they will replace Mr. Simpson as national committeeman with J. Russell Sprague, one of the | Dewey campaign managers. As explained to New York mem- bers of Congress favorable to the| nomination of Mr. Dewey, the Dew- | eyites had come to the conclusion it | would be far better to have the open | hostility of Mr. Simpson than mi have it under cover. Mr, Simpson, | while he has said he would go along | with Mr. Dewey for a ballot or two, has made it quite clear Mr. Dewey is not his choice for the presiden-| tial nomination. ! Under those circumstances, the| Dewey supparters figured it would | be better to have Mr. Simpson and | such delegates from New York as| might follow him, vote against Mr. | Dewey on the first ballot than to | have them desert him on the second or third. 75 Votes Seen for Dewey. One New York representative here said last night that notwithstanding anything Mr. Simpson may attempt, Mr. Dewey Wwill Jifive as many 88 751 of New York’s delegation of 92 when the first roll call is taken. In New York, the estimates yesterday were that Mr. Dewey would have from 65 to 75 delegates at the start of the balloting. i How much this split in the New York delegation will affect the Dewey candidacy is still an open question, It was recalled that Mrs. Julius Talmadge, president of the National Officers’ Club of the D. A. R.,, and Mrs. Georgette Ross Howard, are shown at the club’s annual banquet, held last night at the Willard Hotel. Mrs. Howard was guest speaker. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 14, 1940—PART ONE. —Star Staff Photo. ident defeated Mr. Garner 3 to 1 in the Wisconsin primary and 6 to 1 in Illinois. Illinois Vote Analyzed. The vote in the Illinois primary, when it is all counted, will show, it is said, that the vote cast for Mr. Dewey was nearly a miliion, and that his vote plus that of the Gar- ner anti-third term vote will equal or surpass the vote cast in the pri- mary for President Roosevelt. Mr. Dewey had 825209 votes with 1,038 precincts missing—most -all of them “down State.” Mr. Roosevelt had 1,069,344 votes with 628 pre- cincts missing, most of them down State, and Mr. Garner had 175,825 to be counted. The big vote in Chicago was for Mr. Roosevelt, but outside and among the farmers down State, he did not do so well, For example, Mr. Dewey’s vote was 358,875 in Cook County (Chicago) and 466,344 down State with 1,038 precincts still out. The Roosevelt vote was 674234 in Cook County, and 394579 down State, with only 628 precincts missing. In Nebraska, the vote of President Roosevelt in the presidential pri- mary fell approximately 50,000 short ator Vandenberg and Mr. Dewey. posed in Nebraska, Dewey was in Illinois. These results zre not encourag- ing to the thirc-term supporters, despite the fact that they indicate that the President can be renomi- nated with practically no dificulty should he decide to run. European Situation a Factor. just as Mr. existed among Democratic leaders here last night that the President would make no announcement re- garding the third-term question until just before the Democratic ational Convention meets July -5 They may, of course, be mistaken, for the President frequently makes unexpected announcements. The European situation was given as an impelling reason why the President would not speak®at this time. New Dealers here have been in- clined to regard the defeat of Sen- ator Edward R. Burke by Gov. Coch- ran in the Nebraska senatorial pri- votes, also with 628 precincts still | of the combined vote cast for Sen- | The President was running unop- | The strongest kind of impression | District S.

Mrs. Llewellyn N. Edwards will be hostess, assisted by Miss Bessie Porter and Mrs. Horace Corben. Mrs. Almerin Marston, president of the national society; national offi- cers and the State presidents will receive the guests. Among those presiding at the tea table will be the seven organizing presidents of State societies in the process of being established. Mrs. Benjamin F. Buckley, a member of the Virginia society, was appointed yesterday as organizing president of the Kentucky society. Societies for which organizing presidents have been previously named and which expect to receive their char- ters at the next annual meeting in- clude the District, Nebraska, Mis- souri, South Carolina, Texas and Mississippi. A feature of the meeting yester- day was the presentation of char- ters to Arkansas, Indiana, Florida and Virginia societies, which were organized during the past year. Reports from national officers at the annual meeting stressed the in- crease in membership, principal project of Mrs. Marston during the two years she has served as presi- | dent. The State delegations also pledged sufficient funds at the meeting to assure the publication of a lineage book in which 2,000 ancestral lines will be traced. Mrs. Frank Leon Nason of Massachusetts is chairman of the lineage book committee, as- sisted by Mrs. Charles H. Carroll and Mrs. Guy Speare, both of Nef | Hampshire.

Kaufman SPRING SUIT OR Daughters of 1812 Hear Professor Talk On Student 'Radicals’ A Littie Education and Maturity Cure Most, Says Dr. Travis A little education and a little ma- turity are all many students allied with so-called subversive organiza- tions need to cure radical tendencies, a University of Pennsylvania pro- fessor told local Daughters of 1812 at a meeting yesterday at national headquarters, 1461 Rhode Island avenue N.W. Dr. Irvin Travis of the electrical engineering department of the uni- versity said his opinions were based primarily on conditions at Penn- sylvania and that his use of the word subversive was to apply to “trouble-makers” in a broad sense. He is inclined to believe, however, he said that charges, of “isms” honeycombing educational institu- tions today represent “pretty much an alarmist viewpoint.” Conceding there are some students working definitely toward under- mining democratic principles in government, Dr. Travis spoke par- ticularly of the type of student found in demonstration organizations which engage in such activities as picketing the R. O. T. C. in the interest of peace. Of the latter group, he said, some are not well adjusted to society and could be cured by psychiatric methods, while others are perfectly normal and will cure themselves. “It is natural for young people to hold views that more mature persons call radical,” he remarked. “Many university students come in as reds and graduate as conservatives.” The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Lane Schofield, president, after a business session which included discussion of plans for the associate council of the National Society, Daughters of 1812, to convene April 22 for a three-day session at the Wil- liard Hotel. Memorial services next Sunday at the Church of Epiphany | will precede the opening. Plans are being made to direct particular attention to the society’s Face/ 2 TIGKETS TO THE OPENING BALL GAME i A TOPCOAT ngton-Boston headquarters and a reception has been scheduled for the afternoon of April 22 when the house will be open for inspection.

Club Dinner Reminiscenses of past days of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution were coupled with optimistic anecdoates at the annual banquet of the D. A. R. National Officers’ Club at the Willard Hotel last night. The reminiscences were supplied by former presidents general of the D. A. R. and other officers while Mrs. Georgette Ross Howard, guest speaker at the banquet, furnished anecdotes that kept the 145 guests smiling despite her announced sub- Jject—"“The Gravity of Humor.” Sprinkling her talk generously with illustrations of her theme, Mrs. Howard advised the guests to see the bright side of life and told them that the person with a happy turn of mind is unconscious of the passing years. Mrs. Henry M. Robert, jr., pres- ident general of the D. A. R, and three past presiéents general, Mrs. William A. Becker, Mrs. Russell Magna and Mrs. Lowell Hobart, led the reminiscing, speaking of their first impression of the National Offi- cers’ Club and what it has meant to them. Mrs. Julius Talmadge, president of the club, and Mrs. Grace L. H. Brosseau, her predecessor and for- mer president general of the D. A. R, joined in telling incidents about their terms as officers. The club is limited to officers who have served at least one year in the D. A. R. and membership is by invitation. Among the club officers and direc- tors who occupied the head table were the four directors elected at the annual meeting of the club Friday. They are Mrs. Henry Bourne Joy, Mrs. David French, Mrs. Marcia Binford and Mrs. Henry Latimer.

Notwithstanding the split in the delegation of his own State, he was nominated for Presi- dent on the fourth ballot. The President, in the pre-conven- tion campaign of 1932, had made & wide sweep,of delegates outside of New York, and when the conven- - tion opened he was supported by many more than a majority. A two-thirds vote was necessary to nominate, On the final ballot, the | President received only 31 of New York's votes, and 63 stuck to Mr. Smith. Frank E. Gannett, candidate for the G. O. P. presidential nomination, with a few delegates in up-State New ‘York, might make common cause with Mr. Simpson against Mr. Dewey. It would be strange to find Mr. Simpson aligned with Mr. Gan- nett, judging from past perform- ances. But stranger things have happened. Mr. Gannett's friends in the State Committee voted with Mr. Simpson in fighting the move made by the Deweyites. Rift Dates Back to 1938. The rift between Mr. Dewey and Mr. Simpson has been growing ever since the gubernatorial campaign of 1938, Both have strong person- slities. As Mr. Dewey’s friends tell the story, Mr. Simpson wanted to control, and Mr. Dewey would not stand for it. It was Mr. Simpson who brought Mr. Dewey forward in the municipal elections in 1937 nnd‘; backed him for district attorney of New York County on a fusion ticket | with Mayor La Guardia. ‘That Mr. Simpson is opposed to the Dewey candidacy was made abundantly clear by his own state- ment after the action of the State committee. He said he knew that Republican and independent voters of New York did not consider Mr. Dewey the best availabie candidate. Prior to that, however, Mr. Simpson as a principal speaker at a Repub- lican rally in Columbus, Ohio, where Senator Robert A. Taft is a favorite- son candidate, had not only failed to mention Mr. Dewey's name, but had used language which clearly indi- eated Mr. Dewey was not his choice. Senator Vandenberg's supporters have by no means given up hope that the Michigan Senator will finally land the Republican presi- dential nomination, despite his de- feats at the hands of Mr. Dewey in the Wisconsin and Nebraska pri- maries. Nor have the supporters of Vice President Garner given the slightest evidence they intend to draw in their horns because the Pres- To Know Correct Time You Must Know: Your Watchmaker First Adjusted Watches == Edwin: Golden 527 10th St/ N.W. , Betwer n and F Sts.

Senator Burke was opposed by the New Dealers in his own party because he had not gone along with the President in the court bill fight or in the administration’s spending program. He was opposed by the farmers because he voted last year against parity payments. He was opposed by labor because he de- manded amendments to the Na- tional Labor Relations Act, and he was opposed by German-American voters because he supported the President’s demand for repeal of the arms embargo last fall. In a party primary, under such condi- tions, it was surprising he did as well s he did. Silverware, PUBLIC ORIENTAL RUGS ON SALE MONDAY Afternoon Session et 1 P.M. Evening Session at 8 P.M.
