MINTON CERTAIN NONE KNOWS IF - F.D.R. WILL RUN
Thinks President Would Have - Advised McNutt if Mind Was ‘Made Up. -
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 19.—President Roosevelt never has told anyone whether he will seek a third term; in the opinion of Senator Mintén. : “I am convinced that the President has not made up his own mind in regard fo a third term,”
the. Hoosier Senator declared. “If he had done so he likely would have said something sbout it to Paul V. MeNutt when he gave him the new assignmernt as Federal Security Administrator. TT “But the third term business was never discussed by either of them, according to my information.” Senator Minton is looked ‘upon here as somewhat of a third term authority since he was. the first to put the McNutt forces. on record as ready to support the President should he decide to run again.
Backed Up By McNutt
This position has been backed by Mr. McNutt in‘ several subsequent statements. The junior Senator said today
that he thought President Roose--velt “was exactly right in: scoffing
at the various stories published here yesterday regarding the McNuttRoosevelt relationship.

McNutt Follows Orders:
Under his present plan of following his Chief Executive's orders, it is possible that Mr.. McNutt might take second place on third term ticket, however, it was pointed out. When asked if he would permit Mr. McNutt to make his long scheduled speech to the Young Democrats at Pittsburg, Aug. 11, ‘President Roosevelt declared that, the question should be put to Mr. McNutt, Byt the reporters told the President that Mr. McNutt is out of town, so they had to depend on ‘him. Meanwhile, $100,000 was . allotted tentatively today by the Budget
Security Agency. Issues Special Order
President Roosevelt issued an executive order permitting Mr. MecNutt to hire two private secretaries without regard to Civil Service laws. In addition to Wayne Coy, former Indiana Welfare director, his ad-
sistan{s include Mrs. Edith Keyes, Mrs. Frances Maschmeyer and Miss Mary Jo Keene, all formerly of Indianapolis. Miss Mary Switzer, veteran “Treasury official and one of -the leading

Government, joined the McNutt staff today. Morris Collins was lent by the Budget Bureau to establish the financial setup. Miss . Switzer started with the Treasury -as economist in 1922, shortly after her graduation from Radcliffe. Early in 1929 she was selected to set up a Press Intelligence Service for President Hoover. In 1934 Miss Switzer became assistant to Assistant Treasury Secretary Josephine Roche in charge of public health. Her new assignment again stresses ‘the large part that a public health program is likely to play under Federal Security Administrator McNutt, it was pointed ‘out.
