Third Term Talk Is Absorbing Topic And Nearly Everybody Is Talking About It Except President Roosevelt Washington—The political to do of the decade—“ Third term talk"—goes into its third big year almost as though the mysti fying “if” were not there. “If’ sits in the President’s of fice, and watches the passing of reporters and statesmen who seek a clue to the year’s enigma: Will he run again? “Third term” will not be an “issue” until the President speaks But the ‘iffy” argument goes lustly on. If barbers feud with men they shave and taxi-drivers talk it up and down, they take their cue from public men. Several inti mates of the President have been heard from—and many have been heard who do not follow him. A year before the die must be cast at the Democratic National Convention, the public knows the views* of Cabinet officers, Sena tors, Congressmen, columnists, Roosevelt relatives, Roosevelt biographers, young Democrats and old Democrats, “Bull Mooses” and straight Republi cans. But Mr. Roosevelt, like Old Man River, he don’t say nothing. People discuss what they think he thinks. When a bold reporter ask him point-blank if he’s going to run, the President tells the scribe to don a dunce cap and go stand in a comer. In the Presi dent’s oval office, there isn’t even a comer to stand in. Why the debate? Politicans be lieve the American public will have much to do with Mr. Roose velt’s decision. Those who wish to see him retire hope to bring forth a popular reaction against the third term. Others hope to convince the President he is free to run or not —or show him a “draft Roosevelt” demand. These weeks —with the ap proaching anniversary of Calvin Coolidge’s much-argued dictium, “I do not choose to run”—debate increases. Sounding Board. Early in June, the three gran ite steps of the executive wing of ihe White House became a sound ing board for third ttrm senti ment. Standing there, politicians delivered their views to reporters seeking news of their chats in side. Big Nelson G. Krashel, the auctioneer who became governor Os lowa, stood there and said he would never be satisfied with any candidate except Roosevelt or someone in harmony with him. Senator James E. Murray, a dignified lawyer from Butte, Mont., confessed he resisted an impulse to mention the third term to the President, for fear of embarrasing him.

The President laughed and then declared, in effect: I can’t be responsible for inter views given on the doorstep of the White House. Less than a month later, tan ned, white-haired Paul V.

Murphy and Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson. None seems to have won the mantle yet. Some persons have said frankly that Roosevelt may be the only “real New Dealer” who can win the Democratic nomination. And there the thing stands. Everyone who has tried to get a hint out of the President seems to echo the experience of Miss Frances Perkins, the Secretary of Labor: “I once asked Mr. Roosevelt himself,” she confessed, “but he said nothing. He just turned and looked out the window as if he hadn’t seen me.” o Work Begins On Pageant For Coming Fete South Boston Va.—With the arrival of Mr. Lehr M. Knowles, widely known scenario writer with the John B. Rogers Com pany, in South Boston, work on “TOBACAROMA” begins in earn est. This outdoor dramatization, staged in an amphitheatre in the corporate limits of South Boston, will trace tobacco from its earli est history, with all its phases of drama, pathos and humor. “To bacaroma” will constitute a ma jor feature of the fifth annual National Tobacco Festival to be held here on September 7 and 8. Mr. Knowles, states that he is enthusiastic about writing this historic drama, and finds in this section rich historic lore from which to draw his material.
