 Hyde Park, N. Y, July 24. = (UP) = President Roosevelt today had presented the outline of the campaign he will conduct for e third term - a hard-hitting frontal at- tack on the Republican ticket and Democrats who desert their party to support Wendell L. Willkie.
 Taking the offensive, MT. RooSe- welt centered his fire on four Dem- ocrats who have rebelled against a third term to join cause with the G. o. P. nominee.
 At the same time, he attacked Re- publican strategy by announcing that he assumed his running mate, Henry A. Wallace, would remain in his cabinet as secretary of agricui- ture. Republican leaders have de- manded that Wallace resign, con- tending that the millions he will disburse this year in farm benefit payments, might have a coercive influence on the elections.
 First Broadside
 Tn firing his first broadside of the campaign, MT. Roosevelt fol- lowed the lines he set forth in accepting third term nomination last week. saying that problems of national defense would keep him close to Washington, he an- nounced that his campaign would be mainly through his seni-weekly press conferences and occasional radio reports to the nation.
 MT. Roosevelt chose press con- ference yesterday afternoon for his "all-out" assault on dissident Dem- ocrats. Singling out the four prom inent ones who have announced their support of Willkie. He used the terms sweat shop" and "dol- lars versus humanity" to empress his scorn for what he thought of renegade Democrats.
 This group, he said, included two former major figures of the New Deal - former Undersecre- tary of Treasury John w. Hanes and Lewis w. Douglas. Both broke with the administration over differences on fiscal policy. Re- ferring to his two former as John ny and good old Lew, MT. Roose- welt indicated that he thought his party could well continue without them. Although both are ami able and honorable gentlemen, they are more interested in dollars than humanity.
 Burke, Reed Ridiculed
 Senator Edward R. Burke, of Nebraska, he described as a Dem- ocrat who had not bolted his party, but had been bolted by the party. Burke was defeated for renomina- ton in the Nebraska Democratic primary.
 Former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, who has summoned 6 meeting of "Jeffersonian Demo crats" at Chicago for tomorrow to organize opposition to a third term. The President said, had de- serted his party in 1882 and 1886, and probably had bolted 1t in 1928 when Alfred E. Smith was defeat ed by Herbert Hoover. The term sweat shop" was applied to Reed. The country would remember his involvement in such case, referring to labor board action against gar- ment factories owned by Mrs. Reed which Reed opposed as his wife's counsel.
 Congressmen Back Him
 Washington, July 24-(UP)-New Deal members of congress support ed President Roosevelt today in his denunciation of Democrats who have bolted the party to support Wendell L. Willkie.
 The presidents assault came as a sizeable group of anti-third term Democrats talked privately about giving the party's ticket the silent treatment" in the coming campaign. Such senators as Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia, Carter Glass, of Virginia, Josah w. Bailey, of North Carolina, Willard E. Tydings, of Maryland, and other members of the so-called conservative bloc apparently have no desire to bolt the party but at the same time are showing no en- thusiasm for the Roosevelt Wallace ticket. They probably will keep quiet. The Democratic National Committee issued the formal state ment by Sen. Kenneth D. McKellar, of Tennessee, who said that from glance at the headlines he had found that "a number who have fought the Roosevelt administration before are fighting it again. It is
