Roosevelt Third Term
 Boom Gets Bigger Push
Rebuffs From Capitol Defeat of Some Pet Measures Seem More Likely to Persuade President to
 Run Again Than Surrender
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent,

Washington, June 19 - UP) = Talk of a third term for President Roosevelt boomed today as the ad- ministration faced the hard facts of legislative reverSes and the list of other available 100 per cent new deal presidential timber shrinked to nothing.
 Rebuffs from the capitol were more likely to persuade MT. Roose- welt to run again than to surrender to the conservative wing of the party which has combined with Re- publicans in congress to vote the new deal down.
 The house hit the administration where it hurt last week when it passed relief bill to curtail pres idential authority and abandon some pet new deal undertakings.
 New Defeat Hits Him
 MT. Roosevelt will have to acknow- ledge personal defeat today when the house passed the 1889 revenue act to eliminate so-called "business irritant" taxes. The bill had the blessing of the presidents official fiscal advisers. But it sacrificed the theory of penalty taxes on undis- tributed corporation surplus funds and, therefore, is offensive to the president and the inmost circle of the new deal.
 In the offing is a mighty senate battle over neutrality, in which the odds are ever or slightly against the administration in its effort to obtair more discretion in making our na. tional resources available to bellig' erents.
 All these factors--and the partia reverse suffered by the administra' ton in last November's genera election-beckon Mfr. Roosevelt t' battle, and belief is spreading tha he will run again next year. A ma tor factor in that belief is the ah solute dearth of an acceptable sub stitute new deal candidate whom Mir. Roosevelt could support witt confdence that his policies woul' be continued.

Movie Executives
Here for Conference
With Hopkins
Invited by Secretary
To Discuss Problems
Confronting Industry
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
-Four Hollywood executives brought
to Secretary of Commerce Hopkins
today a proposed voluntary arbitra-
tion system to iron out many of the
headaches Of the movie business.
The group, headed by Will Hays,
president of the Motion Pictures
Producers and Distributors of Amer
ica, was invited by Secretary Hop
kins for general talk about the in
dustry without any apparent pre-
arranged agenda.
Others in Conference,
The men accompanying Mr.. HAYS
were among the highest salaried in
the country-Nicholas Schenck,
president of Loew's, Inc. which owns
Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures;
Harry NJ Warner of Warner Bros.
and George j. Schaefer, president of
R-KO-Radio
Absent, however, was Samuel
Goldwyn, boss of James Roose-
welt, the Presidents eldest son. Mr..
Goldwyn is head of a Hollywood
film company, of which young
Roosevelt recently became vice presi-
dent.
A Commerce Department spokes-
man said the movie delegation was
selected by Mr. Hays. and indicated
that one reason for Mr.. Goldwyns S
absence might be a desire not to
embarrass James Roosevelt.
Both the film men and Justice
Department officials expressed doubt
that the conference would concern a
long-pending antitrust suit against
the same men. although at the Com
merce Department there were indi-
cations the meeting was at least an
outgroWth Of the charges.
Issues Faced.
The film world is troubled by such
complaints as preferences to theaters
owned by the same companies which
make the pictures, the time lag be-
tween showing films at downtown
and neighborhood theaters. the prac-
tice of requiring theaters 10 con-
tract for years output of studio
in order to get any of its pictures
and the prices to be charged at
"first-run" theaters.
The proposed code brought by the
film group would establish volun-
tary arbitration boards to settle
these and other problems that arise
between the theater owners and the
film producers.
Foreign trade is another subject
the delegation was anxious to talk
about. since about S250,OOO,OOO a
year comes from foreign exhibitors.

uses as its background the recent
trial in New York of foreign spies

the intentions of his government.
Mr.. Hays, here for a film industry

optimism, but also with a warning.
The results of the past year have
confirmed the long established repu-
tation of our industry for relative
stability compared to other lines
OF business and it is therefore en-
couraging to find ourselves no worse
of than We are after six years of
attack by the Government of the
most powerful Nation on earth,
backed by a correspondingly rich
Treasury and correspondingly per-
vasive propaganda"
