FDR, Jr. in Town

W. Averell Harriman will receive over 400 votes on the first ballot at the National Democratic convention this June, his campaign manager, Rep. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. '37, predicted in Boston yesterday.

About ten Harvard faculty members, including Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. '38, associate professor of History and Roy F. Gootenberg, teaching fellow in Government, were in the group which greeted Roosevelt at Harriman headquarters in Boston.

Roosevelt, a Democratic congressman from California, said he was basing his estimate on his "close touch with political leaders all over the country."

He was confident Harriman was becoming better known by "the people," even though New York is the only state which will present a virtually solid Harriman delegation at the convention.
