R HOLDS ANSWER TO THIRD-TERM (

‘FOR POPULARITY
To an Isolationist Candidate.
By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—The
* big question mark in the Presidential | - - campaign is public opinion on the
war, More than anything else that
' will determine whether Mr. Roose-
‘velt runs again, and if so whether he is re-elected. On the war, largely, hangs the
fate of other}
convention candidates In both parties. And it probably will determine whether the election goss
Democratic or|
Republican.

Mr. Denny : ¥ developme n t s

been put up for Przsidential primary consideration.
Doesn't Know a Thing About It
He did not know a thing about it, he told press conference questioners yesterday when asked whether he would withdraw his name from the ballot in Illinois and Wisconsin: In Illinois he has until Feb. 24 to requestion that his name be stricken. So far, the war has given the President his chance of renomination. Seven months ago his popularity was steeply downgrade with public and politicians. The last regular session of Congress kicked him and was cheered. He rode back to favor on the wave of foreign war and American “national emergency.” He dictated at the special session. And, thanks to the war and his foreign policy, he is more popular
‘today than any candidate. But will
he be in July or November? Public. sentiment and the Roosevelt policy today are vigorously proAlly, on the theory that America can help the Allies without violating “neutrality” and without involvement in war. If that is true when the Allies are strong, what will happen to public and official sentiment if and when -the Allies are losing? The future answer is unknown

Politicians Are Uneasy
Republican politicians, like their Democratic opponents, are very un-
easy. To save their hides they must|
be able to ride public sentiment. But public sentiment in this world crisis doesn’t stand still long enough
for. the politician to get astride.
Of course f the war showdown comes this spring, and American opinion goes definitely inone direction or the other on the isolation issue, ‘the presidential campaign will become less confused. If the country swung anti-isola-tionist, and President Roosevelt decided not to run, Secretary of State Cordell Hull probably would be the next strongest Democratic candidate. On the Republican side, Thomas Dewey probably would be ruled out by the convention as “too young and
- inexperienced in a crisis,” and Sen-
ator Arthur Vandenberg (R. Mich.) would be stopped as an isolationist, leaving Senatdr Robert Taft (R. O.). But if the country turned isolationist, the Vandenberg popularity would go up on the Republican side. And among the Democrats, Roosevelt, Hull and Paul McNutt candidacies would suffer, while Senator Burton Wheeler (D. Mont.) Would pick up.

PASTOR EMPHASIZES SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE
“Life has a far deeper meaning if one possesses the spirit of ‘adventure,” the Rev. R: Everett Carr, Rector of St. Peter's Church, Chicago, said today in the second of a series of Lenten noonday addresses in Christ Church on the Circle. The Rev. Mr. Carr called Abraham “the first and one of the greatest adventurers. He was searching not for wealth or for fame, but for God. His discovery of Jehovah resulted, directly or indirectly, in*the development, of three world religions.” The Rev. Mr. Carr will speak at 7:45 p.m. today at Advent Episcopal Church, 23d and Meridian Sts. His subject will be “The Law of the
Remnant.”

The marriage of the band leader, who gave up a, lucrative baton-

But it was a comic valgntine to at least three interested parties.
1. Greg Bauizer, Hollywood attorney, to whom Miss Turner was engaged until her elopment yesterday to Las Vegas. He was a good sport about the whole thing. He said, with just the slightest sort of grimace, “I hope they'll be very happy.” - 2. Blond Betty Grable, former wife of Jackie Coogan. Mr. Shaw had been escorting her around New York and she said she couldnt understand the marriage. 3. Miss Turner's studio.

Miss Turner.and Mr. Shaw costarred in a movie here last fall; Lana said Artie was the most egotistical man she ever met; he didn’t even speak to her.

LOANS ACTION MAY INTENSIFY JAPAN'S WRATH
senate Passes Bill Paving|
Way for Financial Aid to China and Finland.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (U.P).—
| The Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee deferred action today on a proposed embargo against Japan, + Administration officials
proval of $20,000,000 loans to China and Finland would increase the strain of American relations in the Orient. Chairman Key Pittman said, however, that the delay did not mean that action on the legislation at this session is unlikely, although polls have shown a majority of the committee at present opposes such an embargo. The Senate passed and sent to the House the bill authorizing a $100,-
stock and indirectly approving new
!|loans -up to. $20,000,000 each to the
hard-pressed Chinese and Finnish Governments. Officials - expect the bill to provoke Japanese Government and military spokesmen :{o: new antiAmerican statements.. Tokyo Government spokesmen already have
_ |announced that such an authorization would have “unfortunate” re-
actions in Japan. The Senate-approved bill was referred to the House Banking ‘and Currency Committee, House leaders predicted quick action when it reaches the floor in a few days. The Senate vote on the ExportImport Bank Bill, 49 for passage and 27 against, saw a division between Indiana's two Democratic Senators. : Senator Sherman Minton voted “aye” and Senator Frederick VanNuys “nay.” State Department officials here have declined to take formal “warnings” by Japanese spokesmen, just as they have ignored the nearthreats by other Japanese spokesmen that Japan would take “appropriate measures” unless “American pressure” upon Japan is eased. Secretary of State Cordell Hull and his advisers are determined to hew to the line of American vested and treaty rights in China. They consider that this Government is now practicing a total absence of “pressure” upon Japan.

‘the House Naval Affairs Committee which unanimously reported to the House a bill to boost the Navy's strength by 10 per cent. This would provide 21 new warships. The committee urged that all of them be started within two years. The. Expansion -Bill—carrying no funds—was submitted to the House in the midst of debate on a recordbreaking $966,772,878 Naval appropriation bill.. If the expansion is voted, another appropriation will have to be passed later to start the ships. The Naval Affairs = Committee warned that the increased tonnage authorization was imperative if the Navy was to meet properly its defense commitments in a world where the “unthinkable - today is an accomplished fact tomorrow.™ “Just what these contingencies will be,” the committee reported, “no man can predict.” The committee limited the Navy to a two-year expansion program after considering an orginial proposal for a 25 per cent, six-year increase.

merits \ of the manager form of government, some speakers voiced opposition, Vincent Youkey, Indiana Municipal League secretary, argued that people of any city can pick a man from their own ranks better qualified to run the city than any hired manager from another city or from another state. “If we must have city managers then I'm in favor of having a state manager instead of a . governor, too,” he said. Harry Miesse, head of the Indiana Taxpayers Association, said that he was not “opposed to the manager form of government but that “we now have the best home rule system of government.” William H.

STEVENS RESIGNS T0 TAKE RAIL JOB
Hubert Stevens, deputy sheriff for five years under Otto Ray and Al Feeney, and winner of a national award in 1938 for outstanding police work, resigned today to take a job with the B. & O. Railroad as a locomotive fireman. In August of 1933, Deputy Stevens, who lives at 5011 W. Vermont St., and two other deputies, Robert Harritt and John Talley, were sent to investigate two suspicious men in a taxicab. They spotted the men at English and Emerson Aves. and ordered them to halt. Deputies Harritt and Talley got out one side of the car and approached the taxi, and. Deputy Stevens got out the other side and covered the approach with a rifle. As one of the too men opened fire on Deputies Harritt and Talley, Deputy Stevens opened fire and is credited with having killed both gunmen, The gunmen were identified as escaped life prisoners from Huntsville, Tex., who had, since their escape, wounded ‘a Missouri state policeman in a gun battle. The three deputies subsequently were given the Philips Lord Gang Busters Award for the outstanding police work in the nation during the year. Both of the other deputies, Taney and Harritt, also have resigned to take railroad jobs.

Nazis Claim Right To. Sink U. S. Ships
BERLIN, Feb. 14 (U. P.).—German submarines have a “theoretical right” to torpedo United States ships en route to Allied ports or contraband control bases. either voluntarily or by compulsion, an authorized Nazi source said today. Whether such torpedoings would occur, the source said, would depend on individual circumstances. The new German attitude threatened to involve the United States,
already aroused over British inspec-
tion of United States mails to neutral countries, in a new dispute over the rules of warfare in the high seas. The Germans said that under their interpretation, any ship, even if carrying cargo intended for Germany, could lose its neutrality and be regarded as hostile if voluntarily or by compulsion it should put into an Allied harbor or contraband control’ base. German quarters charged . that British warships “without any right or justification whatsover” are compeling neutral ships to enter British harbors thstead of searching them on the high seas, “thereby creating a new British right for themselves.” An authorized source said that Britain alone should be held responsible for any damage which neutral ships may suffer as result of German attacks on them while they are en route to Allied harbors or contraband control bases.
U. S. Officials Silent
On German Warning
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (U. P).— State Department officials declined comment today on reports that Germany maintained ‘a “theoretical right” to torpedo American vessels that proceed toward Allied ports or contraband control bases Diplomatic quarters indicated belief that the German statement was issued in connection with attempts to minimize the importance of the
sinking of the Dutch liner Burger-|
dijk, torpedoed off the English Channel. Experts on international law noted that belligerents may stop and search neutral vessels and take them as prizes when their cargo is more oly 50 per cent contraband. In cases where it is impossible to take the prize to any port, international law permits such a neutral vessel to be sunk if provision is made for the safety of crews and passengers.

Air Transport Leaders Vote to Ask Full ather Observation by U.S.
The Civil Aeronautics Authority no doubt will approve the light for nation-wide adoption. Used with the radio instrument approach system, CAA officials believe it .will amount to a “foolproof” system for making airline schedules in bad weather,
The light is based on the basic principle that the rays of one lamp “cut out” or blind the observer to a lamp of equal intensity behind it. « Through an intricate system of prism design the lamp distributes the brightness of each lamp so that the intensity of the nearest lights decrease as the more distant lights are approached, . At certain angles of approach, the prisms “cut off” stray light which otherwise would cause a diffusion and glar va

That is why we need help of all kinds—men, guns and planes, The Finnish Army today has been able to hold its own. But we rely on the civilized world to help us.” Tanner, in his note to foreign nations, said that the Soviet Union had recklessly offended the cardinal. rule that warfare should be waged against military forces-and military objectives, sparing civilians, open towns, churches, hospitals, and other humanitarian institutions. He said that Finland had refrained from reprisals,
