Washington December 61 F1 The parliamentarian of the last four Democratic national conventions Representative Clarence Cannon of Missouri believes there is a strong likelihood the two thirds rule for presidential nomination will be abrogated at the Democratic national committee meeting in January. He notes Roosevelt's nomination is virtually assured, making the rule change plausible.
