WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Senator Holt of West Virginia says that at the next session of Congress he will introduce a resolution against a third term for President Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.-Speak- ing from the White House today over long distance telephone, Presi- dent Roosevelt set forth peace aims in addressing the Virginia Military Institute cadets at Lexington.
 The President asserted in his Arm istice Day address that the World War had needed a peace that would cause men ito lay down weapons of hatred and forego the purposeless ambitions" which have only caused international fear.
 Roosevelt said it is fitting to re- member on Armistice Day that the only object in the use of arms Is ito bring about condition in which peace under liberty can prevail"

MOVIE NEWsPAPERMAN

But for all the precautions taken to have it truly reflect the way of life in Washington, it will help to perpetuate a pair of faulty ideas about what goes on here.
 Hollywood seems to have a stylized view of how newspaper men look and act and will go to its grave holding to that view, regardless. The idea evidently per- sists that a news man can snatch story out of thin air about as readily as he can reach in his vest pocket and pull out a quart bottle of bourbdon, with fizz water and glasses.
 However, nobody should be- come perturbed about that. What might be viewed with a more critical eye is the plot in the picture in which whole states newspapers, the radio and 95 members of the Senate combine to preserve the in tegrity of graft and to block the ef- forts of a boyish hero to have the right prevail
 Except to an experienced Wash ingtonian's eye the things looks too darned real. The Senate may be the worlds most exclusive club but the most cynical would be sur prised to see the whole Senate walk out on one of it's members brazen enough to raise the cry of graft,

ALASkANIS URGED FOR
 GOVERNOR
Dimond Asks President fo Wait for Congress-
 Resident Preferred

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond today asked President Roosevelt not to renew the recess appointment of pr Ernest Gruenfng as Alaska Cover nor but wait until the regular ses- sion of Congress before taking any action toward filling the post.
 Democratic Divisional Committees at Juneau and Nome have gone on record opposing the appointment of a nonresident of the Territory. Di- mond said he felt sure the action had been communicated to the President and to Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes.
 Dr. Gruening's appointment was not submitted at the special session because of the Presidents desire to limit work to the Neutrality bill.
 Not Personal
 Delegate Dimond said there was nothing personal in his, opposition to Gruening's appointment but that  it is based entirely upon the desire of the people of Alaska for an AL askan Governor.
 "Dr. Gruening is very well liked in Alaska and if we must have a nonresident for Governor I am sure he will fill the bill" Dimond said.
 Dr. Gruening said he had talked the matter over with Secretary Ickes and been informed the President expected to give him a recess ap- pointment or send his name to Con- gress for confirmation at the regu- lar session next year
 Wants To Come North
 Gruening told reporters he pre- ferred the recess appointment and If appointed would prefer to go to Alaska as soon as possible even if it entailed returning to Washing ton for confirmation"
 Dr. Gruening said he had no per- sonal knowledge of opposition to him in Alaska or elsewhere. It was said the opposition likely came from To- cal interests which had other ideas about the Governorship.

 Reports of an Investigating com mission were made to Hitler, in which it was said positive proof had been found in parts of the internal machine that showed it was of for eign origin.
 Rudolf Hess, Nazi Party Deputy Leader, in an oration. characterized the bombing as 'one of the most dastardly plots in history. The last thought of the victims was of Adolf Hitler"
 Hess also added: Their deaths have brought the full consciousness of the German people that our Fuehrer was to have been victim, but the Fuehrer lives. Providence has ever been with us"
 German chemists are understood to be analyzing bomb fragments to determine their origin definitely, German news releases said, in an effort to establish that the plot aimed at Hitler had been instigated by the British Intelligence Service.
