He conferred in private with ad- herents of the various. rival camps, | but seems to have done nothing and said nothing to offend any of them. i During all of this time talk off his availability < compromise candidate has persisted. In some respects, the prevalence of _ this talk has gone against precedent, in view of, h twn continued failure to ask for delegates or even declare himself receptive. The innermost thoughts of Sen ator Vandenberg’s Michigan ad. mirers are not available, but it would seem that only one or two! explanations are possible. Perhaps they felt this style of campaign really was getting no- where, and that the nomination was about to be foreclosed for someone else: or ps they de- cided that reg of the wis- dom of the appre es, the time had come for bolder strategy. Now A Candidate? At any rate, the Michigan Re-| publicans have done what they; could to put the Vandenberg hat! into the ring, and he has express-j ed gratification at the act. Future! calculations of the delegate situa-} tion must go on from that point.! The development, furthermore, | has come at a time when it ap-) pears certain the national conven- tion will contain a very large number of uninstructed dele-' gates. Mbny of these are pledged} to one candidate or another, but the nature and binding quality of such pledges vary widely. Many are not openly pledged to any- one. ents. only that} The entirely himsel? his 0. a | a ;not stop there, {sides also indic: | ‘NEW DEAL GIRDS FOR BIG BATTLE IN UTILITY SUIT ACTION BROUGHT BY FOUR UTILITY COMPANIES CHAL-; LENGING CONSTITUTIONAL. | ITY OF PWA By HERBERT PLUMMER (By Associated Pressy WASHINGTON, May ca ! thoug. the case is darcomnded | | with a mass of technicalities not; easily understandable to the lay- administration leaders are | watching every move being made! in a suit before the District su-! to rival the Schechter decision in- | validating NRA in importance. ‘js an ill wind that blows no good,| o’clock yesterday morning from ' maintained, It is the action brought by four utilities companies ciallenging the particular, to block more than $2,- municipally- | | the construction of owned power plants.
