CAPITAL AGAIN DEBATES
THIRD TERM POSSIBILITY
PRESIDENT'S INTENTIONS
STILL ARE A MYSTERY
HOPE TO PRESERVE NEW
DEAL MAY FORCE CANDIDACY
...
PARLEYS' GARNERS WANT
MIDDLE-OF-ROAD MAN
WASHINGTON, July 20. Will the
president run for a third term? Six
months ego every responsible New
Dealer would hava answered "No,"
but now It must be reported that
even the men closest to the presi
dent are not eo sure. Prom the din
ner table topic of the Roosevelt
hating rich, the third term question
has suddenly grown to be one of
the most seriously discussed In the
New Deal's Inner circle.
The president's own attitude on
the subject ,was nicely summed up
In a London Interview given by Sec
retary of Labor Prances Perkins.
Miss Perkins was asked whether the
president would run again. She re
plied that she' had made the same
Inquiry to the president himself,
and that. Instead of answering, he
had merely looked out the window.
True, the president haa told such
casual visitors as H., Q, Wells that
1941 would find him reading the
history of the Hudson River valley,
in his new hermitage on Dutchess
Hill above Hyde Park. But he has
also given more than one friend the
Impression that. In case of such na
tional emergency as a world war,
he would think it his duty to carry
on at the White House. And, of late,
some men around him have thought
that a conservative attempt to cap
ture the Democratic party .might be
classified as a national emergency.
The manner of the president's tri
umphal progress across the conti
nent Is the Immediate occasion for
the outburst of third term talk here.
Naturally such an Interim report
as this cannot be positive.
The truth Is that no one knows
what the president's Intentions are.
But It may be said that behind the
transcontinental progress and the
third term talk there is the same
basic set of facts.
These facts, which have been
pointed out here, are simple enough.
By his personal strength, the presi
dent has given a new and more lib
eral direction to the Democratic
party. He has rallied a vast popu
lar following to his standard. But
he has not carried along the party
organizations, which will choose the
delegates to the 1040 convention.
The organizations give their alle
giance to the Garners and the Far
leys, who are already planning to
nominate a mlddle-of-the-roader In
1940.
To circumvent this plan to liquid
ate the New Deal, the president has
three alternatives. He can capture

Maritime Commission Plans

Flight Yet to Be Set
WASHINGTON. July 20. (AP)
The maritime commission plans to
bring Douglas corrlgan and his $900
trans-Atlantic flying "crate" back
homo on one of its ships all free,
J. Monroe Johnson, acting secre
tary of commerce, disclosed this to
day. He said the steamship Lehigh,
operated by the commission, would
dock at Dublin and pick up the ad
venturous youth. The Lehigh is big
enough to transport Corrlgan 'a plane
without dismantling,
Johnson, who haa final aay on
what Corrlgan 's punishment will be
for flying the Atlantic without a
permit, declined to talk to reporters
about penalties.
"The boy has made a hero of him
self and we are tickled he got across,'
he said. "We are not going to be
guilty of chilling the exploit by talk
ing about the punishment."
He said nothing would be done
until Corrlgan 's return July 20 and
said he would confer with members
of the new civil aeronautics author
ity before acting.

He bought two suite of sober hue
and a bright sports coat and flannel
trousers in preparation for his return
by steamer to tho United States.
Here's how the situation shaped up
today for the 31-year old Callfomlan,
aviator extraordinary and master of
understatement who still Insists a

Atlantic Instead of to California:
He'd like to "go places," London
first and then Paris If it woren't for

something to talk about."
He won't accept any contracts un

The Irish government released his
