velt into third term -mindedness. In
his own cabinet, to begin with, sit
two outright third-termers-Interior
Secretary Ickes and Agriculture
Secretary Wallace. Two others
War Secretary Woodring and Attor-
ney General Murphy-have evinced,
though not as unequivocally as
Ickes and Wallace, third-term in
clinations. At least five United
States Senators-Norris of Nebraska,
Guffey Of Pennsylvania, Smathers of
New Jersey, Murray of Montana, and
Pepper of Florida-have publicly
advocated four more years for
Roosevelt. Two of the principal, If
not the chief, campaign-chest angels
Of the Democratic party-Ambassa-
oors Joe Kennedy and Joe Davies
are hell-bent -termers.
To catalogue other high-ranking
New Dealers who crave, and are
working night and day for a third
term nomination would be to name
practically every potent figure in the
existing Federal organization, in and
out Of Washington, with the shining
exception of Postmaster General
Jim Farley and, of course, Vice
President Garner. But even Farley,
uncompromising Rooseveltian loyal
ist that he is, would 60 along tievot-
edly, if reluctantly, once the oig boss
switched on the green light. It
would be foolhardy to minimize the
power of this group to organize a
"draft-Roosevelt" movement. 1t
would not be easy for the President
to resist pressure from such a
quarter. The movement would have
motive as well as momentum. It's
big talking point, as of today, would
be Roosevelt's indispensability to the
country and to the world in the in
ternational crisis, on which he dwelt
SO fervently in his message to
Congress.

THE Independent Vote"
One day in August, 1882, about
five weeks after Mr. Roosevelts first
nomination at Chicago, I was sitting
at his desk in the Executive Man.
sion at Albany. The Governor asked
me how things looked to Washing
ton correspondents at that early
stage OF the campaign. I told him
nearly everybody in our group
expected Democratic victory In No.
vember, though at that time only a
few envisioned the landslide. F. D.
r. rejoined that experience long ago
taught him the unwisdom of over
confidence; that he was never sure
about an election until he knew
what that great body of the cleo
torate called "the independent vote
was going to do. : In our politics of
1910 the independent vote" prob
ably is represented by men and
women in both parties who call
themselves "progressives, or lib
erals. Norris of Nebraska, persona
fies this uncharted branch of the
voting community. He officially de-
scribes himself as an independent. +"
If Franklin Roosevelt convinces
himself that he would have the "in-
dependent vote" for a third term
candidacy, there seems little doubt it
would be a prime factor In de-
termining his course of action.

He also called attention to ''in-
justices" In. the existing law. He
pointed out that II an intoxicated
person walks into an establishment
that sells liquor and is observed by
an inspector, the dealer has his
license suspended even though he
does not sell liquor to such person.
Moreover, he explained, dealer
may have his license suspended for
alleged "disorderly conduct" ON his
premises even though he may be
unable to control the patrons.
Mrs. Leslie Wright, president of
the Forest Hills Citizens Associa-
ton, suggested to the subcommittee
that members of the A. B. c. Board
be appointed for life, like justices
Of the Supreme Court, to protect
them from pressure by members of
Congress.
THE liquor board as a whole is
wobbling when it changes decisions
in two cases under pressure from
Capitol HILL" she declared. THE
citizens are not going to be safe
any longer. We obtained a COM
mitment from the board that no
more liquor licenses would be issued
in Chevy Chase. Now we don't
know whether or not the board will
change its mind.
I'm some cases the board did not
have CUTS to enforce the law as it
should even before this investiga-
ton. We had a fine tavern out our
way that sold beer at the curb. All
our young people went there. A man
asked for q similar license over in
Brightwood. The board did not
feel that he was the kind of man
to have the license so instead of
saying SO it got Corporation Counsel
Seal to issue a new legal opinion
that 1t was unlawful to serve drinks
at the curb. That has driven our
young people to 60 to unspeakable
places in Maryland to get curb
service.
Questioned about pressure exerted
on the board by members of Con-
gress, Mrs. Wright criticized A. B. G.
Board Chairman Lodge for changing
his vote on the renewal of the license
OF Leo j. Rossiter, who operates q
sea food restaurant on Georgia ave-
nue.. She was told, however Mr..
Lodge had not changed his vote.
George Walsh of 829 Upshur
street NV, whose application to
sell liquor by the drink in q restau-
rant in the vicinity of the Rossiter
establishment told the Subcommittee
he had been Disseminated against.
He produced q letter he received
from the board telling him his appli-
cation had been rejected because

The witness subsequently was
asked If police officers visited his
restaurant last Friday after news
papers had printed the story of Mr..
Martins testimony.
"The police do come in but there
was no discussion of the case," he
declared. He admitted, however,
that one officer who he did not name
remarked:
"It looks like they have got you
IN the papers"
"I said Yes in response to his
question" Mr.. Connors said. THAT
was the only reference to the case"
Routine Visits"
Mr.. Connors later explained that
every day or two officers visit his
place "as a matter of routine"
Don't you think it rather strange
that these officers come in and not
mention the incident, except in the
one case you mentioned?" inquired
Chairman Eberharter.
IT don't see why that has been so
strange" he replied.
Mr.. Connors recalled at this point
that last Friday he did telephone
1t. Hartman of the Police Depart

for the Bartenders' Union and tell
him that the charges of Mr.. Martin
were untrue.
