NEW YORK, Nov. 6,--Toy dealers face the greatest Christ mas demand in history, and hav en't enough stock, either in varie ty or quantity, to meet much more than half of it I r Thus, the grim prediction: there will not be enough toys to go 'round; store counters may be cleared completely by December 15. Many familiar toys of other years either will be missing or strange in makeup. You can't buy roller skates, electric trains, any metal playthings, for any kind of money, dolls, far from luxurious silk-dressed figures with real hair, .will have painted hair and paint ed eyes, many of them undressed. . Most toy manufacturers are in war'wbrk. Some of thenvlOO per cent. Those still operating are cut down in capacity ' by ' government directive and lack of supplies. Even those plants that could keep going .with wood or even card board have discovered these once ordinary materials now are pre cious and nearly impossible to get. President T. W. Smith, o the toy : manufacturers of America, says the total toy supply this Christmas will be but 60 per cent of normal. On the other hand, a recent survey by the mnaufactur ers showed demand is up as high as 200 to 300 per cent. One' complication does come strictly under the head of war time exigency; more than 2,000, 000 children above the peacetime normal have advanced this year to the "toy age." Plus that, par ents have more money to spend and more toys are needed. ; "Mothers are away at war jobs and need more toys to keep young sters entertained," Smith explains. "The demand is out of all propor tion to the supply. This year's shortage will hit the public right where it likes it least in its big heart." Toymakers recite the history of their , industry since Pearl Harbor as a series of retreats from one GOP Victories Raise Question Fourth Term,! Republican j Nominee Mulled By D. HAROLD OLIVER WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-P)-Will last Tuesday's republican suc cesses in off-year elections help President Roosevelt make up his mind whether to run for a fourth term? : j ' Also, will the GOP jvictories. in New York, New Jersey, Kentucky, and Philadelphia, coming after the upturn of republican fortunes in 1942, make the republican presi dential nomination next year more attractive? ! There are those in both parties who answer these questions in the affirmative. True, they are most ly republicans. But anti-fourth ter democrats are included. Too, there are a few Roosevelt democrats who disagree, privately, with National Chairman Frank C. Walker's contention - that no na tional trend was in evidence in the Tuesday voting because, he said, only state and local issues were involved. One of these democrats observed: : - "That is i dangerous view to take. Instead, the democrats ought to step out and do something about it." Republican National 'Chairman Harrison E. Spangler commented that Walker should see Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the senate majority leader, and ask him whe ther the president was an issue in the elections. It was Barkley who, campaigning for the losing demo cratic candidate for governor in Kentucky, said a vote for the re publican nominee would mean a vote to repudiate President Roose velt's war leadership. New dealers, generally express belief that the president, : pub , llcly at least, will pnt off fourth-term decision until Just before or daring the national convention next summer, as he did a third term In 1940. and that the war's status at that time will be the main consid eration in making that decision. They also contend that if he runs again, his name on the ticket, and the fact that the campaign will be marked by debate on national and international questions rather than state and local issues, will spell another Roosevelt victory against anyone the republicans can - put up. ' Up to now, nearly all republi cans mentioned for the 1944 nom ination have refrained publicly from showing any genuine desire to have Wendell L, Willkie, the 1940 candidate, is the, only excep tion, although Governor John W.
