"THIRD TERM" TALK
REVIVED IN CAPITAL
.
ROOSEVELT GENERALLY
EXPECTED TO RUN AGAIN
POLITICIANS DON'T THINK
r. B. WILL DISCUSS TOPIC
GARNER FAILS TO TAKE
OWN BOOM SEKIOUSI.V
WASHINGTON, Oct. IB Nlnetccn-
forty Is casting Its shadow over
Washington again.
As the capital otla up Its ma
chinery for the special session and
th. president toasts his shins Be
fore a crackling fire at Hyde Part,
third term" talk la heard again
along tbo Potomac.
Perhaps It atarted with a wind
that blew up trom Texas, bringing
news of a Garner - for - president
boom. Tessa always has been ready
to boom lt most favored son since
the days of 8am Houston. But "Cac
tua Jack" doesn't take It too ser
iously. When he notllled mends
hare that he'd be back on the Job.
albeit reluctantly, by, but not be
fore, November 10, no
mention of national politics..
What la worrying him much more
than November, 1940, Is the afore
mentioned November. 1931. when ne
will have to leave his beloved Uvalde
and take up the gsvel In tho sen
ate again.
Those who know -him best say
that he would far rather be right
back in the speaker's chair of the
house than president.
The significance of a Garner boom
la what It might foreshadow in
terms of the vice-president's influ
ence at the next national Demo
cratic convention not for his own
nomination, but for Franklin Roose
velt,. It will be recalled that it
was the Texas delegation, which,
after the third ballot In Chicago,
swung the nomination to FU R.
Until the convention speaks, Pres
ident Roosevelt won't, the smart
politicians say, regardless of the
fact that Mr. Farley recently de
clared that "only the president can
answer" the question whether he ll
run again.
But It It a little atartllng to find
with what frequency that question
u being answered up and down
Pennsylvania avenue: "Ho will."
Remarks like those drop from 11P
which couldn't conceivably have ut
tered them a year ago:
From an ex-new dealer, once close
to the whirring wheels of the politi
cal machine, now less enthusiastic
and proportionately less biased:
"President Roosevelt doesn't know
It himself yet, but he Is going to
be persuaded to accept the nom
ination." From a Republican, before Mr.
Farley expressed the same Idea in
Spokane last week:
"He could carry Vermont."
Thla reflection of the Washington
mood may not be In any degree a

Air Searchers See
No Signs of Life in
Mountain Crackup
SALT LAKE CITY, Ort. 18. AP) Fears deepened today that the
giant airliner which trashed high In the Uinta mountain! carried 1ft
persons to death. Air searchers flying low over the wreckage could see
no sign of life,
Should all aboard have perished,
the crash would be the worst In
American airplane history.
Previous to this, the largest num
ber killed In the crash of a heavier-then-air
craft occurred Jan. 14, 1936,
at Goodwin. Ark., when 17 died.
Carl Reynolds, staff photographer
of the Salt Lake Telegram, after fly
ing over the scene of the accident,
said, "It doesn't seem possible that
anyone survived the crash.
"We flew as close above the wreck
age as we dared, and could see not
a sign of the 19 people It had car
ried. Front Smashed In
"The front of the plane la all
smashed In, and the wings are
sheared off. The front part of the
fuselage, however, Is Intact."
The Ogden, Utah, Standard-Examiner
In a copyrighted story from
Evanston, Wyo., said that Pilot Bob
Bergesen of United Alrllnea end Wil
liam Myers, mountain guide, flew
over the wreckage and reported no
sign of life.
The big "Malnllner" hed been lost
more than 14 hours before It was
sighted. It was en route here from
Cheyenne, Wyo., and was due In last
night.
Indications were that ground par
ties would not reach the scene for
many hours possibly not until to
morrow.
Arthur Wllloughby of San Fran
cisco, postal Inspector who flew here
today, said he "understood" the plane
waa "burned or badly cracked up."
,. lilt Mountain Side
R, W. schroeder, vice president and
former chief of federal air line In
spection, announced the mighty
transcontinental transport was sight
ed by Bob Bergensen. United Air
Lines pilot, and Observor Bill Wil
liams, who then radioed they would
land a.t the Knight. Wyo., field, near
the Utah border. '
The plane definitely has been
wrecked," Schroeder said later.
"ft cracked up on the side of Chalk
mountain, about 26 miles south of
Knlgbt, at an altitude of 10.000
feet."
In Rough Country
In rough, broken country, the
scene of the apparent crash can be
reached only by a difficult wagon
road, Schroeder said. Rain and snow
may make access even more dltllcult.
Searching parties set out for Knight
from Bslt Lake City and from Evans
ton, planning to go Into the remote
region by horseback from that small
town. Knight Is about 75 miles
northwest of Utah's capital, on the
eastern edge of the mighty Wasatch
range.
Pilot Earl D. Woodgerd last re
ported from his plane over Rock
Springs, Wyo.. at 8:16 p. m. (moun
tain standard time) last night, saying
"slightly rough. All O. K."
Later Sheriff Frank L. Narramore
of Evanston. Wyo.. said the scene
of the crash Is 8S miles from the
Knight government airport, nearest
landing field and new base for the
search.
Long Trek To Scene
He said he believed wagons and
horsea could force their way to within
five or six miles of the crash scene.
but beyond that point not even a
trail exists.
"I doubt If we'll be able to reach
the plane before nightfall." he said.
"We had a miniature cloudburst In
this region lost night. That will make
things worse."
Postal Inspector M. O. Wenger an
nounced at Salt Lake City a detach
ment of soldiers from Fort Douglss
had been ordered out to guard the
plane.
"Our first duty will be to recover
mail and express, and the scene of
the accident will be closed to the
public until' this has been done,"
he added.
VISITED BY THIEVES
Two parked automobiles were the
object of tneak thieves Saturday
night, according to city police.
Mr a. C. W. Barnum of 328 North

Insurgent General Could Re
fuse To Order Foreign
Troops From Spain
Withdrawal Plan, Stickler
By the Associated Press
Insurgent Generalissimo Francisco
Franco was advanced today as hold
ing the final say-so In any non-1
Intervention set-up to get foreign
volunteers out of the Spanish civil
war.
Some observers said that Germany
and Italy might agree to demands
of France and England for with
drawal of volunteers but. It was
pointed out, Franco could throw a
monkey wrench Into the proceedings
by refusing to order the foreign
troops to leave Spain.
Although Franco has agreed to
withdrawal It was pointed out
he stipulated that foreigners be
withdrawn equally from both the
Insurgent and government forces, as
Italy has proposed.
England Drafts Basis
England, however, will want the
withdrawals on a basis of five men
from the Insurgent side to every one
removed from government ranks.
British diplomatic quarters said. The
ratio was worked out on the Brlttsn
belief that 100,000 foreigners are
with the Insurgents; 20,000 with the
government.
An official (Stefanl) news agency
bulletin In Rome today estimated
Italian volunteers In Spain at about
40.000, Including combatants 1 and
non-combatants.
"This Is the truth which fears
no denial from any source verified
and unverified." tho bulletin said
It added "Valencia's volunteers are
much more numerous."
Indication from Informed London
sources wore that If Franco refuses
the removal of foreign fighters,
Britain and Franco will resume "fun
Liberty of action" and permit arms
shipments to Spain.
