Y., June 30 (AP) -Gov ernor Herbert H. Lehman announc ed today he would yield to party pres sure and run for a third term. The chief executive of President Roosevelt’s home State called news paper men to his office and gave them a 200-word statement declaring he could ‘‘no longer resist the pleas of my party, both in the State and in the nation.” The governor’s statement came with surprising suddenness and within a few days after the Demo cratic National Convention had stag ed a wild 17-minute demonstration for him, and the President had in vited him to Hyde Park for the week-end. Governor Lehman had announced earlier this spring that the time had come for him to ask relief from the cares of office. He also yielded to pressure of a Democratic nationwide movement to induce him not to retire. Democrats in 35 states joined in the movement.

Authority Os Labor Board Further Reduced By Court Cincinnati, June 30. — (AP) — The United States Circuit Court of Appeals held today that the National Labor Relations Board lacked authority to issue orders affecting companies whose business “docs not directly af fect any phase of any interstate com merce.” It dismissed a petition of the board Dual Roles For Farley Under Fire Some SayLFe Will Be Furloughed F r o m Postal Service To Manage Campaign Washington, June 30.- (AP) —James A. Farley’s dual role as postmaster general and chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee—and the question whether he may quit the cabinet post—aroused new interest to day as the autumn election campaign hit, its stride. Farley was reported by one source to have sent his resignation to Presi dent Roosevelt, and from another came the suggestion that he might take a leave of absence from the Post Office Department. In Atlantic City, where he went for a rest, Farley said last night: “I have not resigned as postmaster general, and beyond that I have no comment to make.” The New York Times, however, said in a Washington dispatch that Farley had sent his resignation from the cab inet to President Roosevelt in order that he might concentrate on the duties of his political post. The news paper added that the resignation would be accepted and that William W. How.se, first assistant postmaster, would become acting postmaster gen eral. Some Democrats were said by the newspaper to believe that if iMir. Roosevelt is re-elected Farley would be re-appointed to the cabinet post. Opposition to this plan also was re ported, along with indications that the President’s re-election might mean a new postmaster general. Aged Pair Meet Death ByClubbing Ogden, Utah, June 30 (AP)—Adam Snyder, 62, and liis' wife, Mrs. Mabel Scott Snyder, 52, were beaten to death in their beds today as their eight year old deaf mute grand daughter looked on. Mrs. Emma Scott Rose, 80, mother of Mrs. Snyder, was beaten so badly she was not expected to live. A visitor, Mrs. Grace Mortensen, 35, of Salt Lake City, was badly cut and bruised. Police could obtain little help from the child witnes to the brutal crimes, curly-haired Betty Becker. They said they were seeking George Mortensen, 37, husband of Mrs. Grace Mortensen, for questioning. The victims were bludgeoned with a pick handle. Police Sergeant M. L.

Columbus county authorities are trying to ascertain if any of the vic tims were transported across the State line, he added, with a view to bringing in government agents if it develops that the Lindbergh kidnap ing law has been violated. United States District Attorney 3. O. Carr said Federal men would swing into action upon production of any evidence that the nocturnal flogging (parties were interstate in character. The fact that some flog gcrs may have come from another State, however, does not render the alleged criminal activities Federal of fenses, he explained. A promise that “every clue will be ruu down" came from Judge R. Hunt Parker, who ordered a grand jury in vestigation of the reported terroristic rage while he was conducting court at Whiteville, seat of Columbus county, last week. Solicitor Burney said that, although the victims’ fear of reprisals was hin dering the investigation, the identity of several of the terrorists was known and that he would “fight to the bit ter end” to break up the band and bring its members to trial.

His first words were drowned by an an uproar that threw the assemblage of statesmen into confusion. Police went into action in the gal leries and arrested a number of al leged Fascists charged with the cat calling demonstration.

Heat Peak Is 99.5 In Afternoon A high temperature of 99.5 de grees was reported officially here at 3:15 o’clock this afternoon by H. L. Allen, official observer for the Weather Bureau. This was the highest of the year, and followed the hottest night of the summer, with a minimum reading of 77 degrees. Yesterday’s maximum was 96. The thermometer climbed stead ily all during the midday period. Registering 97 at 11:15 a. m., it climbed to 98 by noon, and a little over three hours later had reach ed a peak of 99.5 degrees. There was scarcely a cloud any where in the skies and no sign of immediate relief from the ter rific heat.

Secretary Morgenthau will give the official statement tomorrow night on a nationwide radio hookup in what he characterizes as his “annual” speech, but in the meantime some in dication of the final figures may be gained from the Treasury’s daily statement of conditions, latest of which is through the close of business June 26. For instance, it appears definite that budgetary estimates of receipts will be more than fulfilled, erclud ing the invalidated processing taxes, and that Secretary Morgenthau’s a mended forecast of a deficit of 5,- 966,600,000 on June 30 would not ma terialize. President Roosevelt’s revised bud get last September called for receipts of $4,406,800,000 during the fiscal year, including $529,000,000 of pro cessing taxes, which, in the meantime have been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Through June 26, and despite receipts of only $67,000,000 in processing taxes, the government’s total income has been $4,080,000,000. Expenditures through June 26 a mounted to $8,793,000,000, the largest in any peace-time year, but the de ficit was only $4,712,757,000, which is $1,253,843,000 short of Miorgenthau’S latest estimates, with only four days to run. The gross public debt on June 26 amounted to $33,950,000,000, with a total of $2,931,000,000 remaining in the general fund of the Treasury to meet this indebetedness. REPORT iSEVELT SEEKS THIRD TERM Stories So Prevalent Farley Had to Dignify Them With Denial By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Philadelphia, June 30. —Democratic Chairman James A.

However, the very fact that Farley had to term the reports asinine move® that they ar r - current. They are; quite so. The southern delegates, in particu lar, at the Philadelphia convention, discussed them pretty freely. TWO-THIRDS RULE Most of these delegates from Dixie were resentful of the President’s ad vocacy of the abandonment of the two-thirds rule at Democratic con ventions, and surrendered grudgingly when a voice vote swept the rule out of existence following a recommenda tion by the rules committee (by a vote of 36 to 13) that it be abandoned.
