Halsey, Senate secretary, who will be secretary of the convention. Philadelphia (JP) Philadelphia welcomed an advance guard of Democrats today while speculation over the platform to be adopted by the party's national convention next week intensified. Leaders of the New Deal were closeted in Washington, drawing up suggested statements of policy on such controversial issues as farm aid, money, and relief. There was no authoritative indication as to the planks to be submitted on some of these issues, but word from the Capital said Secretary Wallace may seek to have the convention's resolutions committee approve a farm plank embracing four features.

The plank would endorse: The present AAA soil conservation program with subsidy payments to farmers. The principle of crop production control within constitutional limits. The present reciprocal trade agreement policy. Some plan for commodity loans to farmers. The question in the minds of some administration leaders, it was reported, is whether the resolutions committee will approve the suggestions advanced by Wallace and his aid3.

This question was raised, it was said, because some leading Democratic members of Congress have Fall Precautions Taken For Swim Class at 'Y "Do first things first," the Rev. Harry L. Everett, D. urged Plainfield High School graduates last night. Minister of the First Congregational Church of Jersey City, Doctor Everett addressed the 297 seniors, the largest class ever to be graduated from the city school.

These two principles, he declared, are fundamental to the culture of any man or woman going out into the world today. The man who comes through finally is he who thinks in principles and remembers first things first, he said. Doctor Everett warned that the world in which the graduates are going out into is one in which culture is going to call for them to see the other man's and the other woman's point of view. "Be able to sit where the other man sits," he advised. 1,300 Are Present William Dixon, president of the senior class, extended greetings to the 1,300 parents, relatives and friends who crowded the auditorium to capacity and on behalf of the graduates expressed appreciation for the education made possible by the city.

To the strains of the last number the graduates marched up the center aisle and took their seats on the stage. Invocation was offered by the Rev. Leonard A.
