The move to oust Jean West-woo- d started immediately after the sound defeat of the Democratic candidate on the grounds that the Democratic party lacked the unity among themselves to elect a president. After the first call for the ouster, Mrs. Westwood said that she would not resign the post. The final result would come at the National Committee meeting held this month in Washington.
