Willkie flash in pan blamed by Maverick at Democratic platform
San Antonio Mayor Maury Maverick denounced Wendell Willkie as a flash in the pan and urged a four point defense plank including universal military service, ROTC in colleges, CCC militarization, and mobilization of the national guard. He warned of revolution and called for a highly mechanized army with superior radio gear, saying the party must recover a bold, forefather spirit. The platform committee also heard Farm Bureau head Edward A. O'Neal press for parity payments and farm credit reform, and Emma Guffey Miller demand a women's rights amendment as the convention nears.
