7/5/44 together so well that possibly the President might invite him to be his running mate if the opposition made it too hat for Wallace, There followed a few days later a visit to Senator Wheeler at the Capitol by Judge Rosenman, presidential advisor. In fact, they had luncheon together. The picture, however, was rudely shattered when shortly after the White House ’’kiss and make up” session and the luncheon with Judge Rosenman, Senator ITheeler again broke loose with his old battle-cry ’’that there should not be a Fourth Term for any man”. Following this, when a storm of criticism was aroused by his inclu¬ sion of the nonsponsorship of news in the WhiteWheeler Radio Bill, Instead of putting up a fight for that particular point, he tossed the whole bill into the ash-can. That was about the last heard from him until, on his way home while stopping for a day in Chicago Just before the Republican Convention, he once more sounded off on the ”no Fourth Terra for FDR or anybody else” theme and announced that he was not even going to attend the Democratic Convention, Nevertheless, now in the face of the growing opposition to Vice President Wallace, the name of Senator Wheeler is once more heard. The argument is (a) labor would be friendly to him, (b) he could soothe the Southern Senators (being popular in the Senate on both sides of the aisle) and his nomination would not further inflame the negros, and (c) being a Westerner would be a good man to help carry California and maybe some of the other doubtful Western States. Senator ^itieeler said in Chicago, as he has many times before, that President Roosevelt would be re-elected. He has repeat¬ edly denied the rumor that his hat was in the ring for Vice-President but in view of latest reports, wise ones on the Hill say: "Where there is smoke there must be some fire. " If President Roosevelt in the last minute should decide not to mn. Senator Wheeler would very likely be a strong contender for first place.

NAB’s conclusion is not concerned with either cutbacks or contemplated cutbacks in the backlog of military tubes. It was arriv¬ ed at after a consideration of manufacturing facilities, the needs of civilians and the vast stocks of military tubes already produced, XXXXXXXX 2
