enough hereto G. Gould Lincoln.
fore for Democratic Presidents of
the United States, from Jefferson
and jackson on down the line.
Paul McNutt, former Governor of
Indiana, who is just about to get
out of his job as High Commissioner
to the Philippines. is the latest can
didate to admit that his hat is in
the presidential ring And his last
word is that, If the President runs
again, he will withdraw and sup
port him. Mr.. McNutt, however,
is still in the race, according to his
own statement after he had spent
two hours with the President on
Thursday. 1t would seem that the
President has not yet declared him.
self in. If he told Mr.. McNutt, on
the other hand, that he, the Presi-
dent, would not be candidate, Mr..
McNutt has kept it very much to
himself.
Indiana Democrats already have
spent good bit of money to ad-
vance the interests of Mr.. McNutt
for the presidential nomination.
Presumably they will spend a good
deal more-for they are reported to
have large war chest. Just how
they will benefit if Mr.. McNutt
eventually withdraws in the inter-
est of the President is not clear.
What they hope, of course, is that
Mr.. Roosevelt will content himself
with two terms in the White House
and that their candidate will really
give them race for their money.
Running Under Cover Easy.
Presumably the Indiana delega-
ton, now expected to be a McNutt
delegation, will be turned over to the
President in the event he becomes
a candidate for third term. The
same will be true of the Iowa dele
cation, which is now being lined up
for Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace, and of the New York delega-
ton which conceivably might be a
Farley delegation, of the Missouri
delegation if it is a Gov. Stark
delegation, of the Tennessee dele
cation if it is Hull delegation, OF
the Michigan delegation if it is a
Murphy delegation, and of a Ken
lucky delegation if that delegation
is committed to Barkley, the ma
jority leader of the Senate.
Under such circumstances, it looks
like an easy matter for the Presi-
dent to run under cover for a
third term nomination, right up to
the start of the Democratic Nationa.
Convention next year, if he wishes
to do so. All he would have to dc
would be to send word to the con-
vention he would like to run again
and all these delegations presum-
ably would come tumbling over
themselves to join the Roosevelt
! bandwagon.
There are, it is true, some posi-
BILE events between now and the
Democratic National Convention
which would change the picture very
greatly. If, for example, times get
worse instead of better in this coun-
try. Or if the country gives very
definite evidence that it will not
stand for breaking the anti-third
term tradition. Under such cir
cumstances, the President might de-
clare himself out of the picture, OF

Britain Will Stage
'BIackout' Tonight
Over $1,000 So. Miles
Air Roid Test to Lost
Six Hours; London
Plans Exercises
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 8-Arrangements
for a "blackout" over strategic
densely-settled 5000 square miles Of
Southern England reminded Great
Britain today of her peril from the
air
The six-hour test of extensive all
raid precautions, organized jointly by
civil defense forces and the Roya
Air Force, was planned to begin al
II pm and cover all of Southern
England except London and Devon
shire and Cornwall in the extreme
Southwest.
London prepared for a separate
test, but vitality important one. The
Port of London Authority arranged
to test the whole A. r. P. (Air Raid
Precaution organization along 4C
miles of the Thames.
Both because of the importance o1
London's docks and because of the
ease with which enemy airmen could
spot the river, these tests were con-
sidered to be particularly vital.
Bigger "Black Out" Later.
The key area of the exercises out
side London was in Kent and Sus-
sex in the Southeast-tWo counties
nearest the continent, with a large
number of vulnerable coast towns
and extensive, neWly-developed in
dustrial sections.
The remaining counties agreed
to cooperate as rehearsal for an
even larger, 26-county "blackout'
in which all are scheduled to parti-
cipate next month.
The tests called for r. A. F. bomb
ers and fighter squadrons to roar
over darkened towns as small, high
explosive and incendiary bombs ex-
plode in vacant lots to give realistic
touch. Other planes were to carry
observers.
In London about 300 river craft
flreboats, water ambulances and
others-were ready to help make the
mimic defense. Incidents" such as
bomb damage to docks and fires on
ships and wharves were to be staged

The river tests were to cover IL
hours, including darkness and day.
light, from pm. to 3 am. tomor-
row.
During the southern area exer-
cises A. R. P. observers hoped to get
practical experience in unsnarling
traffic jams that might occur under
war conditions.
The "blackout" was to begin at a
time when thousands of weekend
motorists normally would be return
ing to London from the coast.
Although there is no law to COM
pei drivers to do without headlights,
thousands of police, special con-
stables and A. R. P. workers were
mobilized to halt cars and ask
drivers to cooperate. Neither can
householders be compelled to extin-
guish their lights or darken their
windows, but authorities had issued
thousands of notices asking cooper

few hours after a new pope had
