Pennsylvania delegates may bolt at Dewey open
Harrisburg June 13 The threat of two Pennsylvania delegates to bolt the Republican national convention in Chicago opens a test of organization strength. W Clyde Harer and James Rutherford pledged support to Dewey after the state delegation failed to endorse a nominee. A desertion could trigger further shifts among Dewey supporters and reveal intra party dissension. The State Liquor Control Board’s enforcement campaign drew editorial praise for curbing tavern violations and accepting compromise offers. Dr. J Hollister reports about 1500 Pennsylvania dentists have joined the armed forces and notes dental programs aid youths entering service. The defense council cannot curb black markets due to lack of cooperation from OPA and the omnibus bill. The Pennsylvania Threshermen and Farmers Protective Association backs a Nebraska plan to educate rural children in city schools, urging study by Gov Martin’s school panel.
