DEMOCRATS NAME F. D. R. AND TRUMAN
THE STADIUM, CHICAGO--Excitement mounts at the Democratic National Convention as Senator Alben Barkley accredits President Roosevelt with the outstanding virtues of many of our previous presidents, then places his name in nomination. Pandemonium breaks loose.
From a West Coast Naval Station, Mister Roosevelt accepts the nomination. His clear cut speech, citing some of the high spots in his three administrations, rings out over the huge Chicago assembly.
Nominations for the Vice-Presidency are opened. Henry Wallace, Paul McNutt and Scott Lucas jockey into position but--the hand of destiny which has been guiding U. S. Senator Harry S. Truman of Missouri, projects him into the number two spot on the Democratic ticket.

FOUR GREAT AMERICANS
THOMAS E. DEWEY --
At a tremendous rally in Wheeling, West Virginia the G.O.P. Presidential candidate in his best mid-campaign style accuses "his opponent" of bidding for the Communist vote by "pardoning Earl Browder from prison in time to organize the fourth term campaign."
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT --
The President denies that he seeks the Communist party's support in his electioneering for a fourth term. He lands Russia as a fighting Ally.
WENDELL L. WILLKIE --
After too brief a time in the international scene, this vital American crusader dies at the age of 52. Thousands of mourners file into the Fifth Ave. Presbyterian Church for a last look at this man of courage . . . Flashbacks reveal his interesting life.
