America has gone to war as in 1917,
to enforce her contentious, the fact
remains that in many international

been honored In arbitration awards

rated by G.. o. P. insiders as the
best pre-convention bet.
This observers information, de-
rived in a quarter close to the
throne, Is that Roosevelt will accept
a third term nomination "only If he
has to-" The inference is that he
will maintain an utterly open mind
up to convention time, but that If

Barkis will be willing.
Few Neutrality Fireworks.

Striking evidence Of the broad

number Of his political weekly at

editor, William T. Evjue, not only
contributes a signed editorial COM
mending "The Presidents Firm

his regular column the following
thrust at the anti-embargo Senate
group:
Doesn't it seem silly and un-
wise for the United States to deny
munitions to the nations that are
fighting Hitler and his totalitar-
ian concept of government and
then to spend billions of dollars

BOARDS TO NAME |CI1Y OFFICIALS
Newly Elected Mayor to Make Formal Recon.
 mendatiOns

Mayor-elect Vincent A. scully said today that he would make rec concentrations to city boards In re- gard to appointments but that the final decision would be up to the board members. He said that the makeup of the boards has not yet been decided.
 Building Inspector Patrick Carlin, rumored aS facing retirement, de- clared today that he had received no notice that he would not be reap- pointed. MT. Scully said yesterday that reasonable notice" would be given joh-holders whose appoiHlt- ments rest with him directly and who will not be renamed. The building inspector is one of the few posts over which the mayor has di- rect power of appointment.
 The new boards will almost cer- tainly follow the recommendations of the mayor-elect in regard to ap- pointment. It is indicated that Mir. Scully is giving thorough considera- ton to every possible appointee, and that his mind Is not yet fully made up in regard to certain boards.
 The general expectation Is that a majority of present appointive boards will have their personnel drastically changed by the new city administration. MT. Scully has main- tained silence about his appoint ments, and any talk about his choices Is purely speculation.
