The president is expected to hew out a liberal platform, especially in the case of labor. The whole-hearted support given hm by President John L. Lewis of the United Miners may show definite result in the platform’s j labor provisions. It is believed unlikely that the j president will take up the mass of bills dropped on his desk before con gress adjourned.

This bill permits the gov ernment to reject any bids on gov ernment contracts by firms who fail to observe the 40 hour week. The president's friends in the navy de ' partment are said to be violently op posed to the measure. They argue j that all of the 4.000 trades and in dustries involved in the building of battleships could never be induced to I comply with the Walsh-Healy labor provisions.

Three ring leaders in the plot bared months ago go 10 to 12 months in jail. The others got much shorter terms.

TRANSRADIO PRESS Tribute to Rogers The convention opened with a mo ment of silent tribute to the late hu morist, Will Rogers. Chairman Jim Farley called the delegates to order soon after 1 o'clock. After the invo cation, the vast throng stood for one minute in a complete silence in mem ory of Rogers, who had been a prom inent figure at, conventions for many years. Stretching away from the central platform was a sea of faces. The hall buzzed like a monster bee-hive. The opening session at Philadelphia is little more than a ceremony.

Mayor Wilson of Philadelphia wel comed the visitors and National Chairman Jim Farley answered the mayor. Senator Alben Barkley of Ken tucky was named as temporary char man. Tonight he will deliver the key note speech. That's the real send-off for the convention . The delegates are apt to regard themselves as the actors in a pre arranged drama.

All it had to do would be to renominate Roosevelt and Garber, approve the platform drawn up by the administration and go home. Today finds the delegates fairly aching to jump into the battle which A1 Smith and four other conservative Democrats started by asking the par ty to desert Roosevelt. Every state delegation leader will have a chance to speak from the floor of the con vention, and at least half of them today were planning to conter-attack the five Democrats who challenged the New Deal leadership. Most important was Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York—whom the Democrats are begging to run again and carry the state for Roosevelt. Lehman—who is a close friend of both Roosevelt and Smith—has come out strongly against Smith’s mes sage. That isn’t all. Lehman got such a big demonstration of popu larity that he is almost ready to agree that he will run for governor again. For the women, the convention got underway at 9:30 o’clock this morning A group of civic-minded Pennsylvani ans gave a breakfast to the visiting lady Democrats in order to introduce the famous breakfast dish known as Philadelphia scrapple. After the scrapple breakfast at the Penn Ath lete club, the convention got down to serious business at noon. Two hours later, Jim Farley delivered the first speech.
