V WALLACE WORKING FOR RENOMINATION Has No Intention Of Ac cepting Verdict Of Par ty’s ‘Inside Men’ By JACK BELL (Head of The Associated Press U. S. Senate Staff) WASHINGTON. Nov. 20— (/P) - Henry A. Wallace is carrying on an unique campaign for renomi nation as vice president on the personal assumption that Presi dent Roosevelt will be a candi date for a fourth term. Although he reputedly has been “scratched” from the race by ad ministration insiders who feel he would be of little vote-getting value in 1944, Wallace has no intention of accepting their verdict. He is out to prove to President Roose velt that he represents labor and liberal elements in the Democra tic party that must be reckoned with at the next national conven tion. Thus far his efforts largely havi; been confined to speeches in which he has proclaimed the century oi the common man, has lambasted “American Fascists,” has attack ed international cartels and hi; called for post war governmen' planning to guide American par ticipation in world rehabilitation These are ideas that Wallac* has been expressing for a Ion? time—as far back as his editor ship of an Iowa farm paper— and they represent what he views as his No. 1 mission in life—tc stir public opinion in support ol liberal policies.

The truce resulted from a consent decree entered in Fed eral court in New York, Nov. 20, 1940. All that remains in effect is machinery for the ar bitration of exhibitors’ com plaints. Under the consent decree, the five intergrated companies greed to discontinue or curtail certain practices which the Anti-Trust division critized, and the division agreed in re turn to take no action under the Anti-Trust laws during the three ears. in a general way what the vice president was going to say. The crowds for most of these speeches have been brought to gether largely through the efforts of CIO and other labor organiza tions. Democratic party leaders have had practically nothing to do with such meetings as those he addressed in recent months at De troit, Chicago and Dallas. -V With almost everything else be ing frozen King Victor Emmanuel no doubt wishes somebody would kindly freeze him to that Italian throne.
