SWEETWATER REPORTER, SWEETWATER, TEXAS
Leaders Accept
Vroposed Terms
For Armistice
^ Two Congressmen Had
Urjred Blalock and
Wirt/, to Cease Firing
flY liVLE c. WILSON
WASHINGTON — (UP) *—
Garner and Roosevelt political
spokesmen in Texas have agreed
fliat the state shall send a Gar-
ncT-for president delegation to
the Democratic National conven-
tion. it was announced Tuesday
in a telegram received by House
^iajority Leader Sam Rayburn.
The announcement apparent-
ly effected a political armistice
in Texas, where a bitter third
term battle was in prospect. The
telegram, sent to Rayburn by
Alyron G Blalock, manager for
Vice-President .John N. Garner
in Texas, said agreement had
been reached on a basis of a
.delegation instructed for Garner
but not designed to serve as a
stop-Roosevelt faction.
Warning Wired Leaders
Blalock's message was in re-
sponse to two telegrams sent
from here Monday warning that
democrats, "cannot beat the re-
publican party in November if
we concentrate on beating each
other now." This warning and
plea for unity was shown to
President Roosevelt before it
was sent yesterday. It was dis-
patched in practically identical
language to Blalock and to Wirtz
by Rayburn and Rep. Lyndon B.
(Johnson, 1).. Tex.
Although a truce appears to
have been agreed upon in Texas,
there is small prospect of it
spreading to other states.
Rayburn and Johnson made
jV;e telegrams public in the
White House executive office
lobby. Asked what the president |
had said about them, they re-
plied:
"No comment."
* If a Texas armistice were ar-
ranged on the basis of the tele-
grams it would leail to a delega-
tion pledged to Garner but se-
lected by a state convention
which had endorsed the Roos"?-
vHt administration and avoided
an anti-third term resolution.
That would prevent embarrass-
ijient of either side.

A rendezvous for both visitors
and homefolk, "The House of
Friendship'' was symbolic of
the southern hospitality which
the name implies and was the
scene of festive and elaborate

ternational. Saying "adois", the
visitors were leaving for their
homes Tuesday afternoon.

Spanish patio with an atmos-
phere of Old Mexico in the trail-
ing vines, fountains, birds, Mex-
ican murals and the entrareim>
music of Rosita, internationally
famous radio and vaudeville star

Spanish Troubadors in colorful
costumes of scintillating sequins,
sombreros, and strumming guit-
ars, the "hacienda" was a restful
spot for convention visitors and
was also overflowing with spec-
tators and an atmosphere of
gaiety during the -three-day con-
vention

chairman of Rotaryann activi-
ties, was assisted by competent

"Barn Dance" at the Elks club
with Earl Harris and his string
orchestra, were the mecca for
hundreds of couples from West
Texas who tripped the light fan-
tastic until the midnight hour.
In keeping with the Pan Am-
erican theme featured through-
out the convention, the Blue
Bonnet ballroom was overhung
with Spanish moss, while simu-
lated palm trees and bamboo
reaching to the ceiling gav • a
tropical setting for the large
group of dancers. The Elks club

a barn dance.
