Members of Congress expressed di vergent opinions. Mr. Roosevelt has made no public comment since Earle’s statement. Senator Wagner, Democrat, New York, said that Mr. Roosevelt told him he would not seek another term. The conversation took place after Earle spoke. Legislators listed several argu ments which opposing sides might raise. These contentions, they said, could be advanced against a third term: 1. The precedent against a third term has existed since George Wash ington’s time. 2. Both houses of Congress in the past have condemned third terms. 3. Another candidacy might bring a renewal of “dictatorship” charges by Mr. Roosevelt’s foes. 4. Few men could stand the phy sical strain of a third term. Congressman said these arguments could be raised for a third term: 1. Mr. Roosevelt likes to break pre cedents. 2. If the Democratic party should fail to develop an outstanding can didate, the rank and file might try to draft the President to run again. 3. If the party should develop two strong potential candidates or two factions, Mr. Roosevelt might ibe draft ed to forestall a split. 4. A war in Europe or another eco nomic crisis might make a change in national leadership inadvisable. prices Tor cotton CHANGE BUT LITTLE Market Closing About Same as Pre viously, With Spot Middling Selling at 12.75 New York, June C6.—(AP) —Cotton futures opened quiet, one to four points lower on favorable weather re ports and moderate liquidation.

Informed sources said the program provided for placing Italian observers on French ships and German repre sentatives on British vessels to main tain supervision of any movement of arms or foreign fighters to Spain. That scheme was an amplification of the Franco_British proposal that their ships fill the gaps in the neutra lity cordon created by withdrawal of Italian and German ships. Authoritative Rome sources declar ed, however, Italy would oppose main tenance of the patrol by British and French alone. In some Italian quart ers it was said there was no need of closing the holes because Italian and G* rman (ships were continuing an independent watch.

The article said that the Spanish capital would fall as soon as Insurg ent General Francisco Franco could finish cleaning out the Basque pro vinces along the northern frontier.

These sources agreed that Italy and Germany would not welcome any sepa rate action by France and Britain to fill the gap in the naval patrol. The editorial, in a general discus sion of the Spanish war, said: "The crisis will definitely be re solved upon the day on which Gene ral Franco is freed of the last resist ance of the Basque and may throw against the central front all the weight of his well-tempered forces, galvanized by a spirit of victory.
