F.D.R. May Stall Elm On Third Term But There Is
 HeadacIle in Situation
By BYRON PRICE Chief Of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Among the politicians there are three schools of thought on the much-discussed subject of third term for President Roosevelt.
 A surprisingly large number are reasoning that MT. Roosevelt, with his flair for precedent smashing would welcome a third nomination, and will silently look forward to such an event in 1940.
 Others believe he has no inten- ton whatever of being candidate again, and will be forced by the pressure of circumstances to say so definitely before his second admin istration is far advanced
 Still others are of the opinion that, not intending to run in 1940, he nevertheless will refrain from making any statement, thus using his silence as a lever to maintain his party control during the. next four years.
 Of course none can possibly know the answer except the President himself. It is not the sort of thing he would discuss at this stage with his friends. If he made any decis- ion now it would be because of the public situation, and in that case his statement would be addressed to the public.
 So again he has the politicians guessing No one loves such an ad- vantage better than he and the logic of the case argues that he will keep things as they are for long time to come.

Bio ody Career Ended Man Goes to Death Ab-
 solutely Friendless

MICHIGAN, Indiana, Dec. 26.- The flip of a switch on the electric chair in the Indiana State prison, shortly after midnight, finished the bloody career of Harry Singer, 25 year old farm handyman, who con- fessed to four murders.
 Singer spent Christmas day grum- bling, playing checkers and eating a fried chicken dinner.
 Singer died without friends. None visited him in jail after his arrest and none visited him in prison.
 Singer was sentenced to deati. for the murders of MT and Mrs. John Kaufman, their daughter Margorie, aged 12, last July, and he also con- fessed later to the killing of Joseph Bryant, aged 20, a few weeks pre- viously.

Partial Paralysis of Left Side Reported Un-
 able to Move Legs

VATICAN CITY, Italy, Dec. 26.- Extension of partial paralysis over the Pope's entire left side caused grave concern tonight among the Prelates.
 Reliable Vatican sources said the Holy Father is entirely unable to move his legs.
 Persistent hopes of the Pope's recovery tonight gave way to pes- simism as word spread that many Prelates have already abandoned all expectation he will emerge from his present illness, some ac- knowledging that sadly critical turn within the next few days will not be surprising.
 All church officials have been barred from the sick room.
 The Pope passed very restless night and twice yesterday Dr. Amanti Milani gace him injections after noting physical depressions.

LONDON, Dec. 26. Europe watched Adolph Hitler today for a decision on whether he will send Nazi troops to aid Spanish Fascists, possibly provoking a general war. Hope that Germany would avoid en- dangering peace mounted when it was reported that Hitler was study ing the Spanish insurgents demands. Gen. William Faupel, the German Charge de Affaires, is reported to have suggested to Hitler that he give the Spanish Fascists 60000 ad- ditional troops.
 German newspapers said today that Europe was unduly alarmed while informed circles predicted that Hitler would call a conference of his chief political and military aides, but there was no evidence that they had been summoned to his Bavar- ian villa.
