WACO, Tex., May 28.--Mayor Mawy Maverick of San Antonio, ardent advocate of a third term for President Roosevelt, exchanged blows today with Mayor Tom Miller of Austin outside the hall where the Texas Democratic Convention was deciding whether to pledge the State’s 46 delegates to Texas’ own Jolhn Nance Garner or to Mr. Roose- velt. Mayor Miller, the keynote speaker of the convention, is a leader in the “harmony” group which is seeking to have the convention delegates pledged to Vice President Garner, while agreeable to steering clear of any “stop Roosevelt” movement. Fight Versions Differ. Versions of the altercation dif- fered. Mr. Miller said he hit Mr. Maverick in the chest. Mr. Maverick said Mr. Miller struck at him but missed and hit Floyd McGown, Maverick’s exec- utive assistant. “Miller started it,” Mr. Maverick said, declining further comment. Passersby sald the two Mayors pushed each other around. Mr. Miller said Maverick made an insulting remark to him. “So I hit him,” Miller added. “I don’t have anything against Maury.” Mr. Miller was chairman of the original organization of Roosevelt third-termers in Texas, but later agreed to a ‘“peace” settlement aimed to reconcile the Garner- Roosevelt factions. Texas G. O. P. Expected Not to Instruct Delegates By the Associated Press. DALLAS, May 28.—The State Re- publican convention drawing its greatest turnout of delegates in years due to the visit of Presidential Aspirant Thomas E. Dewey of New York today got down to the busi- ness of deciding its course at the national convention. Every indication was that the 46- vote delegation to Philadelphia would go uninstructed. Mr. Dewey, speaking over a Na- tionwide hookup last night, declared America is woefully weak in its armed forces due largely to the “bungling” of the present admin- istration. He advocated a five-point program for national defense, declaring “first, we must decide what we are going to defend.” Rearmament Board .Urged. He sald a nonpartisan board must be named to direct the program of rearmament, the administration “must remove Socialists, Commun- ists and fellow travelers” from of- fice, the administration must aban- don its war on business and “our national morale must be revitalized.” A storm broke in the meeting of the 'Démocratic State Executive Committee yesterday over charges that Mayor Maury Maverick of San Antonio, a former House member, is & Communist, Mr. Maverick, an ardent third- term advocate, is leading an effort to have the convention instruct for President Roosevelt. Assailed As Communist. Committeeman Fred Rucker of San Antonio, in filing a protest against seating the Bexar County delegation headed by Mr. Maverick, said the San Antonio Mayor is the “No. 1 Communist of Texas” and that he had a bagful of proofs. Mr. Rucker has announced a | candidate for United States Senator against Tom Connally. Mr. Maverick was not present at the State Committee meeting, but appeared at a meeting of the Cre- dentials Committee, where he de- nounced any man who charged him with being a Communist as “a cow- ard and a lar.” New Mexico Delegation Pledged to Roosevelt By the Associated Press. SANTA FE, N. Mex., May 28— New Mexico Democrats unanimous- ly instructed their delegation to the national convention to cast its six votes for President Roosevelt for a third term if he wishes one. The delegation will be composed of Gov. John Miles, Senators Hatch and Chavez, Representative Demp- sey and one person each from the State’s nine judiclal districts. Its six votes will be bound by the unit rule, and will go to President Roosevelt so long as his name is be- fore the convention. Florida Democrats Vote In Runoff Primary Today JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 28 (P).—Florida Democrats will nomi- nate a United States senator, a governor, a representative in Con- gress, an attorney general and a State treasurer in a run-off primary today. U. S. Senator Charles O. Andrews of Orlando was opposed for renomi- nation for a six-year term by Rail- road Commissioner Jerry W. Carter of Tallahagsee. State Senator Spessard L. Holland of Bartow and Francis P. Whitehair, Deland attorney, sought the nomina- tion for governor. Mr. Holland led the ticket and Mr. Whitehair was second among 11 candidates in the first primary May 7. Robert Sikes, Crestview newspaper publisher, and Parkhill Mays, for- mer State legislator from Monticello, vied for nomination as representa- tive from the third (Northwest Florida) district to succeed Repre- sentative Millard Caldwell, who did not seek re-election.

C, TUESDAY, FLOWER SHOW ATTRACTIVE—Mrs. Ralph Dewhirst of Country Club Park, Md., admires some of the blossoms on exhibit at Jesup Blair Community Club’s first show yesterday. Wheeler Predicts Democrats Will Name Roosevelt Again Montana Senator, Also Presidential Possibility, Reverses Earlier Belief Reversing his previous belief that President Roosevelt would not ac- cept a third-term nomination, Sen- ator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon- tana, and a presidential possibility himself, returned from a Western trip today to predict that the party will again select Mr. Roosevelt as its standard bearer in November. “Every move made recently would indicate very definitely that the President will not only be nomi- nated at the Chicago convention, but that he will accept the nomina- tion for a third term,” Senator Wheeler said. Tying his prediction in with the crisis in Europe, Senator Wheeler added: “Because of the war hysteria now sweeping the country I find many Republicans who have bitterly op- posed his renomination and election saying they would support him against any Republican who may be named.” Second Place Talk Heard. Reports have bobbed up in po- litical circles here in the past that some of the New Dealers would not be averse to Seenator Wheeler as the vice presidential candidate. In addition to his established record as a progressive, he - stands well with.-other factions* it the ‘patt; because of his independence in op- posing some New Deal ventures, notably the Supreme Court enlarge- ment fight and Government reor- ganization power. Senafor Wheeler indorsed the strengthening of America’s defenses but sounded a warning against stir- ring up war fever or going too far in curbing civil liberties “Many people,” he said, “are be- ginning to see Hitler agents, sa- boteurs and others who want to destroy our Government around every corner, the same as they did after we got into the orld War. It is much easier to work up a war hysteria now than it was from 1914 to 1916, for the reason that the people of this country are over- whelmingly against Hitler, whereas before, up to the time we got into the war, there was not the preju- dice against the German govern- ment that exists now. Fears Uncontrolled Hysteria. “I am wholeheartedly in favor of building airplanes or anything else that may be necessary for the de- fense of this nation, but I think it s a serious mistake to whip this country into an hysteria where no one can control the direction it may take once it gets started. “It should be remembered that Hitler came into power with the idea he would suppress labor and the so-called radicals. Before he got throuw he suppressed and sent to concentration camps many of the men who put him in office. With the object lesson before us of what the dictators in Europe did we should be careful about talking of suppressing ‘free speech or free assemblage, remembering that they are among the most precious liber- tles guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. “Let’s ferret out the spies if they exist, but in doing so let’s not ruin the character of innocent people by calling them Nazi agents because they disagree with us.” Dr. Carrel Back in U. S. NEW YORK, May 28 (#)—Dr. Alexis Carrel, co-inventor with Col. Charles A. Lindberg of the “me- chanical heart,” arrived yesterday in the liner Champlain to do war re~ search work, after a year's absence in Europe. He said he would study treatment of wound infections. —_— ATTENTION Contractors *,® Plumbers o ® Steamfitters YOUR ACCUMULATION WILL BE fml:n"?ul FAIREST CONSID- HETAR “Hl- TR Don't be fooled by higher offers| ~—these are top market prices.

Mexican Oil Workers Economy Order Cardenas Asks Wage Cuts And Fewer Jobs to Pay For Expropriation By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, May 28.—Mexi- co's powerful Petroleum Workers’ Union of 16,000 members was ex- pected today to oppose a sweeping new wage-cutting, job-eliminating economy program announced for the Mexican ofl industry last night by President Lazaro Cardenas. The President mapped a program of complete reorganization of the industry in order to get funds to pay “just” indemnities for the foreign- owned oil properties expropriated in March, 1938. The government ofl administra- tion was ordered to carry out the program “with the greatest possible speed.” It provides for elimination of all unnecessary jobs, reduction of wages of all employes making more than 700 pesos (about $116) a month, elimination of all overtime work and wages except in emerg- ency, and reduction of number of | temporary workers. Furthermore, the administration was ordered to create no new jobs and to cease filling vacanies wher-] ever possible. ‘The President appealed to the’ Petroleum Workers' Union to sup- port his program, but nevertheless sources close to the union predicted it would oppose it. The union is on record with a request for an increase in wages and for transfer of the management of the oil industry to union repre- sentatives.

Brees Senior Officers Criticized, Enlisted Men Proised For Work in Maneuvers - BY the Asscolated Press. CAMP BFAUREGARD, 1a., May 28—In & critical. review of the perfect concentration 1n praising the soldiers who took part in the war games, Gen. Brees said: “Our non-commissioned officers are the backbone of our Army. They acted on their own—intelligently, with initiative, with a keen and com- plete understanding of what it was all about and of what they were trying to do. My hat is off to our enlisted men, be he private, corporal or sergeant. “There should be no question but that maneuvers of this scale, and even larger, should be held yearly.” The general also criticized dis- inclination of the infantry to take the fleld when there were no trucks to ride in, lack of lialson between forces, inadequate use of aviation observation and many other defi- ciencies of the Army at present. “I regret to say there were re- ports of commanders of all grade failing to play the game,” he added. “There was a general striking dis- inclination to move across country. Because of little or no liaison there resulted instances of friendly troops firing into each other. “We should have large increases in our armored vehicles. We need more tanks—light, medium and heavy. There must be a large ex- pansion of our so-called mechanized force. We seem to have forgotten entirely the effects of fire. Our in- fantry seems to have a tendency to forget that marching on foot is still a necessity., You can't fight in a truck.” the panels. fluence. duras mah: Twin Beds.
