Iowa Democratic leaders say the state convention urged delegates to vote for President Truman on the first ballot but not permanently binding them. The 32 national delegates have 29 votes total with eight at large and four from districts each carrying half votes. If Philadelphia seats only 20 full votes, alternates may sit with spectators as 1,000 delegates weigh options.
