Probably not. Japan appears to

Construction of a complete plant

here today when bids for equi(i

estimates to provide funds needed
for Installation of a secondary

The council has authorized
ail addition to the plans to provide

installation will reduce operating
costs by providing complete treat

purification which otherwise would
be required.

2 SENS VOW
3RD TERM SUPPORT
Smathers, Logan Ready to
Back Roosevelt if He
Dealt to Property.
WASHINGTON, June 21. (AP)
Despite White House silence on
the 1H-40 presidential race, two sen
ate democrats today spoke for a
third term for President Roose
velt if he wants It.
Senator Smathers, New Jersey
democrat, predicted his state's 32
delegates to the party convention
next year would back the president
again. Senator l-ogan UX, Ky.( said
while he hoped Mr. Roosevelt
would not seek anolher term. Lo
gan would support him should he
do so.
From the White House there was
no inkling of what the president
has in mind about lit 10, however,
and indications were that there
would be none at least until Mr.
R(Ksevelt makes his west coast
trip after congress adjourns.
Smathers said "every democrat
in the slate believes that Roose
velt, who carried New Jersey the
last time by approximately a half
million majority, can again sweep
the Mate in lillci."
"They all believe," he declared
In a statement, "that he will be
drafted by the party to lead it to
victory again next year.
"President Roosevelt fa the one
democrat In the nation who can
carry New York state In 1940, be
cause he Is the one democrat in the
country that the progressive mayor
of New York, ia Guardia, will sup
port against Dewey or any other re
actionary republican."
IjOgan asserted "if the president
does seek the democratic nomina
tion, he will get It and be elected."
