After selecting Chicago as the National convention and
installing youthful Robert E. Hannegan, hailed as a “second
Jim Farley," as new National Chairman, the committee mem-
bers roared approval for a resolution declaring the “liberal

American and British troops by the thousands landed prac-

completely surprised the Germans and deeply outflanked the
powerful “Gustav"'and “Adolf Hitler" defense lines.
The Germans placed the scene 16 to 28 milea aouth of

Madgeburg Once
More Ablaze j
After RAF Raid.
LONDON, Jan 22—<AP)—The
central German industrial city of
Madgeburg. twice destroyed by
fire centuries ago, once more was
ablaze tonight after a terrific ham-
mering by the RAF which brought
to a climax a mighty 26-hour aerial
battle involving perhaps 3.000 Al-
lied planes.
Large sections of the city, a rail
junction harboring a wide variety
of war industries, were left in
flames by a deluge of more than
2,000 long tons of explosives and
incendiaries dropped with satur-
ating effect in 34 minutes by
planes which flew more than 300
mile* to reach their targets.
The assault brought to at least
g.3000 tons the total weight of
bomb* hurled on Europe by Allied
air armadas in two nights and a
day. An RAF assault on Berlin
Thursday night and an American
heavy bomber pounding of the
"Rocket gun coast" of France Fri-
day were the other principal
raids.
While the RAF was pulverizing
Madgeburg. 33 miles southwest
of Berlin, smaller fleets of four-
engined Lancaster* and Plywood
Moequitos again viaited bomb-
scarred Berlin, and the Germans
unwrapped a new type of night
raider to make their heaviest as-
sault la a year afslnst London
The widespread night operations
eoet the Brftlih 33 bombers, one
of the heaviest losses suffered by
the RAF, although a tots! of
around 1,000 planes were believed
to have been involved so that the

that our Allies are praying with us
for the continuation of his services

lution concluded, "do now earnest-
ly solicit him to continue as the
great world humanitarian leader."
Thus, the resolution stopped
short of calling for a fourth term
in so many words but there was
no mistaking that the committee
members regarded it as a plea for
the'President tp run again.
The Democratic committee left
the date of the convention up to
Hannega, 40-year-old Missouri
Irishman who succeeds Postmaster
General Frank C. Walker as na-
tional chairman. He is expected to
select a date in July.
With their business out of the
way, the committee members set-
