Drys Pick Candidates
LANSING, July 18.- (p)- The
Michigan Prohibition Party today
nominated the Rev. Seth A. Davey of
Hastings, as its candidate for gover-
nor and Harold A. Lindahl of Iron
River as candidate for Lieutenant-
Governor.
Discussing the importance of the
Democrats' selection of a vice-presi-
dential candidate in the coming con-
vention, Prof. Preston Slosson said
yesterday that if a candidate suit-
able to FDR were chosen, the presi-
dent may retire after the war em-
ergency is over, provided that he is
re-elected.
If President Roosevelt wishes to'
extend his influence in the Demo-
cratic party beyond his term of of-
fice, he will have to find within the
next four years, some outstanding
candidate who will carry over 'his
political and economic program, Pro-
fessor Slosson continued.
His agreement on the selection of
a vice-presidential candidate may
well be based on this view, he added.
"The vice presidential contest will
also be a testing ground of the
strength of the anti New Deal ele-
ment in the party indicating whether
the South will be able to force any
concessions and whether the vice
presidency will be one of them," he
stated.
A number of the men who have
been mentioned for the vice presi-
dential nomination would be both
acceptable to the President and to
the discontented minority of the
party who don't want the re-nomina-
tion of Vice President Wallace,". he
stated. Among these are Samuel
Rayburn, Speaker of the House and
Senators Alben Barkeley and Harry
S. Truman, he added.
"As a bid for the progressive ele-
ment of the Republican party, Am-
bassador John Winant and Wendell
News Analyst
Harry Clark
To Speak Today
"Radio networks demand a college
education of their announcers," Har-
ry Clark, CBS announcer and news
analyst, who will speak in a program
sponsored by the Department of
Speech at 3 p.m. today in Rackham
Amphitheatre, said yesterday.
"Silly as it may seem, practice
reading stories, acting out the parts.
To squeak in the tone of an old lady
or boom like a tough man is the best
technique for lending flexibility and
range to the voice," Clark said.
Envious of a nephew announcer
who seemed to have a good time
earning his living by merely "open-
ing his mouth every fifteen minutes,"
Clark decided to transfer from his
position as engineer in a power plant
to announcing.
During his first week on a Colum-
bia station, Clark was given the op-
portunity to take the place of the
chief announcer on a "Man in the
Street" program.
"I didn't eat two meals, I was so
scared," he said. "In fact I even
considered quitting."
"Unions have done a great deal for
the conditions of workers in radio.
The American Federation of Radio
Artists (AFL) enables radio men to
earn a living, which wasn't possible
for some men on some stations be-
fore," according to Clark. The union
controls programs on all major net-
works.

t,
Wilkie have also been suggested,"
Professor Slosson said.
To circumvent the Nazi threat of
complete devastation of the occu-
pied territories at the onset of their
defeat, alternative peace terms de-
pending on their future atrocities
might be proposed instead of the
terms of unconditional surrender, he
said.
"However, the range of devastation
will be limited because the Nazi gen-
eral staff will not undertake such a
program until they are sure that
they cannot promote a negotiated
peace."

'Fairer' Tax Asked
LANSING, July 18-(AP)-Michi-
gan municipalities set up a cry today
for a "fairer" share of state auto
tax money, arguing that they were
bearing an undue share of the cost
of operating city streets in compari-
son with the expenses laid to rural
residents.
