Third Term Race Would Kill
Party, Says Senator Lewis
But Sn,athers Has One
An'bitior, to Elect.
President Again.

The third term issue had bobbed
back in the spotlight again today de-.
spite the fact that 1T still Is two
years until the American people turn
again to the election Of president.
In an interview. Senator. Lewis,
Democrat of Illinois, . friend Of the
Administration, declared that IN at
tempt by President Roosevelt to OBJ
tain . third term would destroy the
Democratic Party" He added, how.
ever, he knew the President is mot
such . man as to present himself for
. third term"
To the contrary, Senator Smathers,
Democrat Of New Jersey, said In At
lantic City that he had but ,one po-
litical ambition left. Ito help elect
President Roosevelt for q third term. ~
After that, he continued. he will re-
main in the Senate until his term
expires in four years, and then re.
tire to private life"
Radical Party Might Cause It.
As the issue again was being raised
it was recalled that just II years ago
today Calvin Coolidge. sojourning in
the Black Hills, issued the celebrated
Il do not choose to run for President
in 1928" statement that held the head
lines until Herbert Hoover was nomi-
mated to head the Republican ticket
II months later.
Senator Lewis said Mr.. Roosevelt
could be nominated only If . party of
extreme radicalism" sprang up,
threatening Government ownership Of
all enterprises and reputation Of all
Government securities, and business
men urged that the President be re-
nominated to run against 1t.
Such party might arise, the Sen
ator said, adding:
In such prospects the business in
terests will demand Roosevelt remain
in power on the constitutional basis
of his administration rather than
risk the destruction and chaos that
will follow party in power which
would put doctrines of Communism
or Fascism In control in the United
States"
Convinced President Won't Try.
From his acquaintance with Mr..
Roosevelt since he was Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy. Senator Lewis
continued, he knew" that he would
not try to be elected to the presidency
for the third time in . row "as that
would bring on his party . charge that
it was attempting to do what George
Washington refused to do and was
violating q cardinal principle for
Franklin Roosevelt, which violation
the party had denounced when
threatened for Theodore Roosevelt"
II Mr.. Roosevelt were presented by
the Democratic convention as . third
term candidate, Senator Lewis said,
the issue would split the Democratic
party into two parts In the South
and New England, and would drive the
new Western Democrats to the Social
ist or Labor party-or create . new

he said, the scientists had distin-

In1nitesimal quantities Of an ele-

quantities could be hoped for.
Further laboratory experiments are
being made, he said.
There are % known chemical ele-

range from hydrogen. the lishtest. to
