‘Garner Is Expected To Carry 3d Term

~ Contest

McNutt Hopes for Formal ‘Clean Slate’ in Income Tax Probe. (Continued from Page One)

280 delegate votes if he can stop the third term drive. There will be 1100 delegates to the Democratic National Convention and under the modified rules of procedure adopted four years ago a bare majority of 551 will suffice to nominate. Mr. Roosevelt also has been put in the Nebraska primary for 14 delegates. : Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National Committee formally entered in Massachusetts, where 34 convention votes are to be

had and if h- can control that delegation it must be added to the potential anti-third term bloc. But local political leaders announced, in effect, that th*v were putting Mr. Farley in but really would seek the renomination of Mr. Roosevelt. A similar plan fell apart in Ohio when Senator Vic Donahey refused to play front man for a third term delegation there. That opens the way for Garner supporters to put the Vice President in the race, it being part of their strategy to avoid contests against “favorite son” candidates.

McNutt Faces Battle

Ohio and Massachusetts developments are typical of the political confusion and potential squeezeplays which promise to figure in both the Republican and Democratic pre-convention campaigns. Washington has been entertaining itself over dinner tables for months with talk of the Bureau of Internal Revenue investigation of tax returns of some of Federal Security Administrator Paul V. MeNutt's Presidential © campaign alds. Mr. McNutt is a candidate, but says he will support Mr. Roosevelt for a third term. But the New Deal Wing of the party doesn’t want him and is out to stop him. Mr. Farley also says Mr. McNutt will not do. Because of that it has been suggested that the Bureau of Internal Revenue investigation was undertaken in the hope it would submarine Mr. McNutt’s candidacy and that the story was deliberately and surreptitiously “leaked” here to smear his pre-convention effort. It can be said on excellent aiithority that Mr. Farley had no part in such strategy and there is no bit of proof that New Dealers are responsible. It is a fact that first published word of the investigation- was almost two months ago in a notably anti-New Deal column.

Probe Is Reported Ended

Latest word is that the .investigation has been concluded, that there never was any expectation of finding irregularities in Mr. McNutt’s tax returns and that the re-

turns of his. campaign aids now have been found to be in proper order. But word of the investigation unquestionably hurt Mr. McNutt’s pre-convention campaign and there is reason to believe he would welcome an official Treasury statement clearing all concerned. Another story which has such currency that it scarcely can be doubted and which seems to have been spread with considerable skill is that Kenneth Simpson, ' New York Republican: National Committeeman, will bolt the candidacy of District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey

to off-set the mobilizing of a “Jackson Brigade,” composed mostly of World War veterans, by former

porting Mr. Jones. It was announced that the “Jackson Brigade” men would be armed only with cameras, to photograph election crooks in action as evidence for any subsequent contest or investigation of the voting. The massing of vigilantés and use of strong-arm squads long have been a part of the Louisiana political crises, though only one civilian uprising, that of the Square Deal-or-ganization during a storm . over Huey Long’s dictatorial laws, ever assumed armed proportions in the State’s recent history. Adjutant General Raymond H. Fleming said Governor Long told him “he hopes the Guard will not be necessary today, and I hope so, too, but we are organized and equipped for any eventuality.”

‘FROZEN SLEEP’ USED T0 TREAT LEUKEMIA

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20 (U. P.). —Three patients, one a boy 3% years old, were undergoing the “frozen sleep” treatment at Temple University Hospital today in a medi-

cal-attempt to cure or alleviate dread leukemia. The treatment was devoloped in the battle against cancer by Dr. Temple Fay in collaboration with Dr. Lawrence W. Smith. It was emphasized that the frozen sleep was not a proven cure, and the cases now under observation were experiments. Dr. T. FP. McNair-Scott, director of the pediatrics department of Temple University Medical School, said that it would take nine months to determine whether the freezing was successful in halting the disease in

wild and crowd out the life-giving red ones. In the treatment, the patient is packed in ice for periods of one to four days, and the y’s temperature is reduced as low as 80 degrees, 18 degrees below normal. After studying the treatment last November, an Evanston physician applied it to the two leukemia sufferers, who still are living, it was

compulsory decrees of a Federal bureaucracy.” The Congressman said that on the basis of Republican gains being made in all parts of the country, “our party is well on the way in and the New Deal is well on its way out.” “Seven years of contradictions, of broken promises, of futile economic experimentation, of waste and corruption have had their effect on the people of this nation,” he said.

‘Voters Don’t Want More’

“The voters do not want another four years of the sort of Administration that has torn this country from end to end with sectional and class hatreds, that has doubled the

Féceral debt and that has no plan by which to rescue the nation from the depression except the discredited formula of tax and squander, spend and elect.” He said the 1938 elections resulted in doubling the Republican membership in the House. “Having done that, we have been able to check somewhat the nation’s speed down the road to ruin with the New Deal.” Discussing the importance of control in the House, Rep. Martin said that “without minimizing the need for a Republican President, I do say that I think it is fully as important to control the House as to elect a President. It is in the House

of Representatives that the Repub- w

lican record will be written. | Discusses Indiana Trend

“In the elections of 1938, by a gain of 80 additional Republican members, we restored to this country the two-party system and gave it the benefit of an effective opposition, he said. “I believe it is universally admitted that these Republican gains have been a genuine benefit to the nation.” Discussing Indiana's voting trend, he said: “In the 1936 elections, Republican candidates carried only 27 of the State’s 92 counties. In 1938 the G. 0. P. candidates had majorities in 59 counties. The Republican tide of 1938 is still flowing.” State G. O. P. Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt, who introduced Rep. Martin, described the progrant outlined by the speaker as a “most constructive one” and praised Rep. Martin's record as Republican floor leader of the House,

Congressman Forest Harness (R. Kokomo) after describing the 12point program as a “fine set of party principles” said that if “Rep. Mar-

F. D. R, CAN'T QUENCH THIRD TERM DEBATE

(Continued from Page One) .

an actual candidate is smaller than than it was in November. 2. Side by side with this development, however, there has been an increasing belief that Mr. Roosevelt would be re-elected if he does run, breaking the thirdterm precedent for the first time in history. The Institute asked a cross-sec-tion of the national voting population: “Do you think President Roosevelt will run for a third term? Do you think he will be re-elected if he runs?” The answers of those with definite opinions are:

Will Run .....co0000%000004:52% Won't Run .......ce00v00... 48 Would Be Elected ..........- 60 Would Be Defeated ........ 40

One of the chief reasons for the persisting belief in a third-term race, of course, is the European war and the unsettled condition of American relations with the Orient. Interesting enough, Republicans and Democrats differ slightly on the chances of a third-term race. Fiftyseven per cent of the Democrats with opinions in the survey expect a third-term race, while only 47 per cent of the Republicans do—reflecting a certain amount of wishful thinking in each case, perhaps. The Democrats are highly confident that the President could be reelected if he makes the race, however, 80 per cent saying he would

Chamberlain Raps. Norway _

Throughout the. controversy over the Altmark, the Norwegians have leaned over backward to meet the German viewpoint but at the same time it was the British Navy that came out victorious in the struggle. Nevertheless, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the House of Commons today that it was difficult to resist the conclusion “that Norway in the Altmark incident had been inconsistent in her duty as a neutral” and “displayed complete indifference as to the use that the German fleet might make of Norwegian territorial waters.” “Even if such indifference was due to German pressure,” he continued, “it is nevertheless in the' view of His Majesty's Government inconsistent with active and impartial duty of a neutral toward ourselves as a belligerent.” He indicated that Britain might be inclined to follow suggestions that the British Navy keep closer watch over the sea channel alon§ the Norwegian Coast. : ‘Ship Losses Heavy Meanwhile, Great Britain admitted one of the worst. weeks of the war for Allied and neutral merchant shipping. U-boat attacks accounted, it was announced, for most of the casualties among 20 merchant ships sunk last week.

The Russians are not far from Viipuri, although their exact position is not disclosed by either side. In addition, they have penetrated and probably cut off the strong Finnish forts at Koivisto, on the Gulf Coast. Dispatches reaching Copenhagen said that the Koivisto area—where Moscow said the Red Army was moping up—had beeen isolated from all possible Finnish aid, although the Finns still hold out in thé forts against repeated Russian attacks. Koivisto was the Gulf Coast “anchor” of the Mannerheim Line, which now is moved well back along a line from Viipuri to Lake Ladoga.

Dau said. He admitted there were more than 300 British merchant seamen aboard, but he insisted that the British. were “rescued mariners” rather than prisoners and that “they got exactly the same food as our crew.” He said any reports that the Germans had fired on the Cossack seamen were “sheer lies.” Welcher: then took up the interview, saying that the first sign of trouble came on the afternoon of Feb. 16, when the Altmark was well inside Norwegian waters and was escorted by two Norwegian torpedo boats, and three British bombing planes flew over, diving low so the pilots could see the ship’s name. “Shortly afterward we saw on the horizon a British cruiser of

ithe Aurora class, with five -)

ers which continued to move closer, eventually entering Norwegian waters.” He said the destroyers Ivanhoe and Intrepid moved alongside the Altmark. The Intrepid got between the Altmark and the shore and tried to force it out to sea. The cruiser signalled the. Altmark to steer westward. The Altmark ignored the signal and the Norwegian gunboats warned the British to keep away. Welchert said the Intrepid moved closer and its sailors tried to board the Altmark.

“We saw them wearing steel helmets and gas masks and carrying rifles, revolvers and hand grenades, waiting to board us,” he said. “Pre-

viously the Intrepid had fired a

warning shot at us but we paid no attention to it. Captain Dau finally made into Joessing Fjord. “As we turned sharply to swing in, the Intrepid had to break away to prevent us from crashing her.

EXPECT PRESIDENT’S

SON TOLET WIFE SUE

- LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20 (U. P.)— Friends of James Roosevelt, son of the President, today expected him to step aside and let his wife obtain a divorce on grounds of desertion and mental cruelty. Mrs. Betsey C. Roosevelt late yesterday entered a cross-complaint to the divorce suit the metion picture producer son of the President filed last Thursday. He had charged that his wife deserted him more than 14 months ago. Mrs. Roosevelt denied that she

‘had deserted him, and charged that

.|he had deserted her and they still live apart “against her will and without her consent.” She also charged that he “has treated the defendant in a cruel and inhuman manner and by his conduct and acts has wrongly inflicted on the defendant great and grievous mental suffering.” The cross-complaint was signed in’ Bronx County, New York, and it said that a property settlement had been made, providing support for their iwo children—Sara Delano, 7, and Kate, 4—and herself. The agreement will be submitted to the court for approval. Neither made a plea for the children, but in view of Mrs. Roosevelt’s request that the court approve the property settlement, it was. expected that she would have the custody of the children.

Board members, showed the twoe '

second “change” gives motorists too

little time to stop. or cross before the permanent red signal comes on, and

forces motorists to violate the law. They said checks at several inter sections revealed 84 violations in an

hour at Delaware and Michigan Sts., 96 at Meridian and Michigan Sts., 60 at Meridian and New York Sts. gh 72 at New York and Alabama

No violations were noted in a 15minute period at Pennsylvania and New York Sts. where a longer “change” light is operating, the group reported. “Dallas, Tex., has tried the pledge system we are urging and it has been successful,” Mr. Forsythe said. “When motorists know enforcement officials are show impartiality, they are “going to be more careful not to violate the law.” Under the Council's program, pe destrian warnings would be painted on streets at intersections, and there would be signs in the middle of the block asking pedestrians to. cross only at intersections. The reason for . conducting a. driver licemse campaign, Mr. Fersythe said, is that there are many motorists driving cars today who have never applied for licenses be= cause they know they would be re« jected. “The police could set up ‘block= ades’ in various sections of the city and stop all motorists and ask them to show their licenses,” he explained. “No driver who had a license would object and in that way we could

weed out the unlicensed, dangerous

drivers.” : Kansas City, Mo., has reduced its traffic toll by making, its speed limits at night five miles an hour less than the daylight limits. "ir The pedestrian safetly islands at three-way intersections would give the pedestrians a place to wait in relative safety if the light changed before they could get across.
