South to gain bigger voice in Democratic nominating system
W. B. Ragsdale reports that post 1940 the Democratic Party plans to reward the solid South with more delegates and a stronger voice at the presidential nominating convention. A Farley appointed committee will draft a new apportionment, possibly a bonus system favoring states with large Democratic majorities. The proposal targets the ten solid South states where Republicans are not holding high office.

Neutrality Debate Shapes July Adjournment Outlook
Democratic and Republican leaders agreed neutrality legislation stands in the way of adjournment by July 15. They outlined a four point program including corporate tax revision relief for next year amendments to liberalize the social security act and railroad aid while fearing a possible filibuster on arms embargo repeal and neutrality powers.
