Republicans Study 1940 Platform Drafts In Midst Of Debate
Washington dispatch reports the Republican program committee led by Dr. Glenn Frank has drafted proposals for the 1940 platform. About 200 members circulate drafts, with some leaders seeking to delay filing until the national convention to avoid premature targets for Democrats. The committee formed as a compromise over calls for a mid term convention and could withhold action until the convention to suppress division. In parallel, Democrats plan their Jackson Day dinner January 8 with President Roosevelt likely to speak and fewer administration officials than in prior years.
