CHICAGO, July 15 —Wil-

American Federation of Labor, '
asked Democratic convention ,
platform drafters Monday to
safeguard labor standards in the
national defense program.
Demanding that organised labor be
given a voice in the formulation of
defense policies affecting workers.
Green said:
"Minimum wage, maximum hour
and social legislation standards must
not be lowered "

The labor chief also called for
prosecution of subversive *l*m*nte.
In addition Green proposed • plat-

He suggested ala* a permanent pub-
lic work* program, RFC Insurance of

Ledbetter.
Ne Vetaotary ReatgnaUeiM
Their petition* will be forwarded to
the adjutant general* offic* and
weighed by a special board, he said.
"Each case will be considered with
a view to determining whether a
greater hardship will be worked on a
community by leaving dependent* at
home, or whether a greater benefit
will inure to the government by re-
quiring the men to eerve,” said Led-
better.
"It will be worked out along the
humane line. There will be no vol-
untary reaignatton*. It la considered
a reproach on a man’* character to
resign tn an emergency.**
The adjutant general estimated not
more than 5 percent of the guard s

reteaaed for family reason* if th* divi-
sion is called to duty.

"We long have had a policy of

left Oklahoma's guard in the air. Its
officers have been making plana for
th* summer's encampment August 4
to 24 near Pitkin. La., but tegislatton
for a year** training may be passed
before then, forcing cancellation of
the maneuvers or interrupting them
after they have begun.
However. Ledbetter said camp prep-
arations are going forward.
Demands of preparedness have
wrought another change in guard pro-
cedure. In the past, recruiting has
been halted from one to two months
before the summer encampment ep
that all men could have at toast some
basic training before going to camp
This year, on orders received from
Wsihingtoa Monday, recruiting will
be continued right up to camp time
in order to keep all unite at full
strength. £4

has been a lot of speculation on this

the speculatory to the very realistic
stage ”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt emerged
smiling from an airplane at Chicago
airport.
This time he is doc expected to come
here. But keep th* radio turned on.

the voters this week from Washing-
ton—«ay Thursday night after the

Tuesday night. Senator Alben W.
Barkley. Kentucky, becomes perma-
nent chairman and continues the full
dress oratory.
Ptatfem Jeb Harmeniees '
The resolution* committee was
throwing together a platform in a
harmonious atmosphere despite the
insistence of Senator i Burton K
Wheeler. Montana, and other isola-
tionist* for a "peace,” anti-conscnp-
tion plank stronger than some lead-
er* want to go. The platform will be
ready for the convention to adopt
Wednesday night.
As interesting a* th* stadium, but
. not a* accsMtble, was th* two-room
hotel suite where Secretary of Com-
merce Harry L. Hopkins and his exec-
utive assistant, David K Nites, wer*
receiving party big wig* and even the
common variety delegate Hopkins i*
Mr. Roosevelt's liaison man her*—he
is Mid to be expressing the presi-
dent's views on all matters, from th*
platform planks to who should get the
vice-presidential nomination.
Srcond Place Battle Likely
On that last question, the battle, if
there te one. will center. Talk of a
third term renomination for Garner
developed in the Texas delegation
where he apparently is weaker than
Mr Rooeevelt despite the state's af-
fection for the short grass country
lawyer. In a test vote the new deal
element in the delegation named Al-
vin Wirts. Austin, to th* resolutions
committee, defeating Richard W Nor-
ton. Wirts la the Texas draft-Rdose-
velt representative and gets his mall
as undersecretary of th* department
of interior. Norton ia a Oarner-for-
president man
Impressive were reports that the
White House list of vice-presidential
eligible* was beaded by these three
names:
Speaker Bankhead. Alabama.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
Tennessee
Senator James F. Byrne*. South
Carolina
McNatt Open* Headquarters
> There are many other candidate*
and until Mr. Roosevelt's pick be-
came* known, it is futile to attempt
to put one ahead of the other. Fed-
eral Security Administrator Paul V.
McNutt, who would like it now that
h* can't have first place, has opened
magnificent headquarters on th*
Stevens hotel mezzanine Their like
has not been seen at a national con-
vention before
Barring an abrupt and unequivocal
statement from the White House that
he would not accept renomination,
there is nothing for this convention
to do now but to send its champion
jousting at the tradition which say*
no man should aerve more than two
White House terms
Anti-third term die-hards see th*
steam roller coming but they will not
lie down. Estimate*- of th* number of
vote* Garner. Farley and Wheeler
might accumulate on a first ballot roll
call in opposition to Mr. Roosevelt's
renomination range up to 200.
ReeMvelt Waato Hull
But against the draft-Rooaevelt or-
ganization's attempts to persuade this
convention to name a 100 percent
new dealer to run with Mr. Roosevelt
there will be many more than 200
votes, according to conseh-ative
Democrat* who have canvassed the
situation There had been talk of
putting Supreme Court Justice Wil-
liam O Douglas on the third term
ticket Farley and others believe they
could stop him Word from Washms-
ton indicate* that Mr Roosevelt's
choice would be Hull, if th* latter will
consent to run.
But some of the wisest political
heads hereabouts have been insisting
for a week that Bankhead has the
inside rail.
Others, who are being mention for
second place are Wheeler, who ha*
Mid before that he wont take It;
''Chester Davis, federal reserve board
member: Governor Lloyd C. Stark of
Missouri; house Democratic leader
Sam Rayburn; Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace; and Federal
Loan Administrator Jesse JonM.
The United Press was informed
that the resolutions committee would
satisfy the isolationists and turn in a
foreign relations plank which, in the
words of a canny southern statesman
"will out-peace the Republican*.”
