Richmond, Va, March 3.-(AP)-
While Virginia cities faced the pros

ROOSEVELT WON'T
SEEK THIRD TERM
But Will Want to Name
Successor and Dictate
His Actions
By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, March 3.-Students of
what's doing at the White House
(mostly newspapermen, well-informed
members of the two houses of Con-
gress, executive officials in the upper
brackets aod miscellaneous politicians
of sufficient prominence to consider
themselves in touch with the inside of
affairs at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue)
have about reached the conclusion
that President Roosevelt, after all,
has no intention of seeking a third
term.
For quite while after his last vic
tory many guesses were heard to the
effect that, breaking every precedent,
he would lie candidate again in 1910.
Now the guessing is the other way.
FASTENING EFFORTS
The up-to-the-minute theory is that
the presidential incumbent would not
be in such haste to get the authority
of his office intrenched if he were
not expecting his influence to end
with his current White House tenancy
In fact, he has intimated if not out
right said, that he believes he can put
his program through before the end
of his present term.
The inference might seem to be
that he does not hope to complete his

Raleigh, March 3-The icy opposi-
ton to the old age pensions and chill
dren's aid bill which enveloped it more
than a week ago when it arrived in
the House from the Senate, and where
it was been frozen tight in the House
appropriations Committee ever since,
is now believed to be melting almost
as rapidly as the snow which covered
the State this past weekend. With
Governor Clyde r. Hoey and his lieu
tenants applying the heat in no I'M
certain manner in an effort to "un-
freeze" this bill and get it before the
House and enacted into law, the be-
lief is that it is likely to come from
the committee and be enacted almost
any day in pretty much the same
form as it was passed by the Senate.
The snag upon which the old age
pensions bill has been and still is
hanging up is the matter of county

pire of Van Sweringens;
All Amendments to Neu-
trality Measure Are Voted
Down In Senate

Washington, March (AP)-Smould
ering opposition to the Pittman neu-
trality bill blazed into soaring criti-
cism today when Senator Johnson,
Republican, California, said the mea-
sure would impose on America a
"scuttle and run" policy.
Urging re-enactment of the present,
neutrality law placing a ban on NUM-
tons exports in time of war, the Cali
fornian asserted the Pittman bill
would fail in its purpose of keeping
Americans out of war.
The bill would ban arms shipments
to warning nations and lay down
drastic restrictions for shipment Of
other American commodities.
Johnson said with enactment of the
bill, Congress would abdicate it's "last
and most important function" the
right to declare war, and place it in
the hands of the President.
Thomas Lamont, senior partner of
]. P. Morgan and Company, assured
Senate investigators relations between
his firm and the railroad-building Van
Sweringen brothers, began without
solicitation"
Representative Johnson, Democrat,
Oklahoma, predicted Congress would
"find the money" to increase the CCC
permanently to $40O,0OOOOO. An extra
$1O0,00O.00O would be required. John
son said it would come from other
appropriations asked in the budget.
Limitation on Debate
Placing of a limitation on debate in
the Senate fastened the Pittman neu-
trality bill toward a vote today, de-
spite two attempts to amend 1t.
The measure would place a ban on
arms shipments to belligerents and
impose drastic restrictions on ship
ment of American goods.
Senator Vandenburg,. Republican,
Michigan, sought to strike out of the
bill discretionary power for the Pres
ident to decide whether vessels of the
United States could carry goods to
fighting nations.
Senator Bone, Democrat, Washing
ton, asked American ships trading
with belligerents be denied the gov
eminent protection in recovering
losses.
