Roosevelt's Name
May Be Only One
More Convention
Senator Harrison Urges
Mississippi to Indorse
Third Term
•JUi-ibe Associated Press.
Signs increased today that Presi
dent Roosevelt's name might be the
ttlly one presented to the Demo
cratic National Convention for top
place on tire 1940 ticket.
Following the statement of Sena
tor Harrison, Democrat, of Missis
sippi, urging Mississippi Democrats
to indorse the President for a third
term, prominent party members ex
pressed the opinion that his renom
ination might come about without a
tingle challenge.
Friends of Speaker Bankhead,
Democrat, of Alabama said the lat
ter s name would not be proposed
if it appeared that the President
would accept another candidacy.
Alabama will be the first State
called when nominations are in or
der. Although pledged to Mr, Bank
head. associates of the House pre
siding officer said the State prob
ably would pass when the roll was
begun.
Course Is in Doubt.
No one would predict definitely
whether Vice President Garner and
Postmaster General Farley would
actually withdraw their candidacies
before the convention meets.
Rumors that Mr. Farley might di
rect his pledged delegates from Mas
sachusetts to support Mr. Roosevelt
on the first ballot could not be con
firmed here, although Representa
tive McCormack, Democrat, of Mas
sachusetts. a convention delegate,
said that he had reserved the right
to vote for the President "if he is
a candidate or if he is drafted."
Gamer managers here would not
comment on Senator Harrison's
statement. The Senator has been
a close friend of Mr. Garner for
years, and until yesterday he had
not expressed himself on the third
term question. He has differed with
the White House at times on taxa
tion and spending questions.
Telegraphed Indorsement.
Senator Harrison's indorsement
was given in a telegram to Herbert
Holmes, Mississippi Democratic
chairman. He said that his tax bill
duties would prevent him from at
tending the State party convention
next Tuesday, and he asked Mr
Holmes to express to the meeting
his hope that it would “unanimous
ly indorse President Roosevelt for
renomination."
"The Nation is now confronted
with grave international and do
mestic programs," Senator Harrison 1
said. "In times of such great emer
gency precedents can be broken;
and because of his thorough grasp
of the international situation, his
masterful handling of our foreign
affairs from the beginning of the
present world crisis, and the accom
plishments of his administration, I
believe it imperative that the Presi
dent be re-elected."
Comments From Senators.
Senator Minton. Democrat, of In
diana. Democratic whip, said Sen
ator Harrison's action "indicates
that all shades of opinion in the
Democratic party will be heartily
behind the President for a third
term."
“It looks like a landslide," com
mented Senator McKellar, Demo
crat, of Tennessee.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida said it meant that "liberals,
conservatives and middle-of-the
roaders are coming together for the j
safety of our country." He suggested
that, the Republicans nominate Mr.
Roosevelt for President and that
the Democrats pick a Republican for
vice presidential candidate.

LONDOtf, June 6.—Minister of
Agriculture Robert S. Hudson told
British farmers today ‘‘we are faced
with a peril much greater than we
faced in any period in the last war,"

ence of the Council of Agriculture,
Mr. Hudson warned:

Hamilton Calls Upon
President to Replace
Some of Cabinet
Republican Leader Also
Urges Amendment of
Several New Deal Laws
By the Associf ted Press.
WATERBURY, Conn., June 6.—
John Hamilton, chairman of the
Republican National Committee,
last night called on President
Roosevelt to replace some of his
cabinet and seek amendment of
some New Deal legislation in order
to render the work of the National
Tefense Commission more effective.
“It is quite all right for the Presi
dent to set up a board or group of
men to make for efficiency in the
carrying out of the rearmament
program, but after all this board is
not free from the laws of the United
States, nor is it free from the ef
fects of those laws upon both indus
try and labor,” Mr. Hamilton said
in an address before the Italian
Republican League.
Question for President.
“Do you not think that you would
gain a greater co-operation from
industry as a whole if those men
in your cabinet who, time after
time, have attacked the business of
this country were replaced by men
in whom business and the public
would have confidence?” was one
of the questions he addressed to the
President.
He asked also:
"Would it not, Mr. President, aid
the very program which you advo
cate if you were to request of the
Congress amendments to the Se
curities Exchange Act which would
make it easier to obtain capital for
the expansion of those industries
which are to be called upon to man
ufacture and produce much of the
needed arms and munitions?
Cites N. L. R. B. Inquiry.
“Do you not believe that you
should take notice of the hearings
which were held in connection with
the investigation of the National
Labor Relations Board and move
promptly by legislation or otherwise
to see that the board is so consti
tuted that it will be an agency, not
for the advancement of the interests
of any single labor group, but for
all labor and for employers as well?
"Inasmuch as your program looks
toward the establishment of an air
force second to none, would it not
be well to revoke your recent order
placing the Civil Aeronautics Au
thority under a political agency and
let it operate as it did in the past,
