United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Jan. 25-(UP)-Con- servative and left wing brigades of the 1886 New Deal army are in strange political agreement today against third term candidacy by President Roosevelt.
 Vice President John N. Garner leads the conservative Democratic opposition to 8 third term and Chairman John l.. Lewis of the Congress of Industrial Organization yesterday assumed command of the left wing anti-Roosevelt bloc.
 Beyond that anti-third term ob- jective, there is nothing in common between the two men or the forces they represent. The leaders are, n fact, on bad terms personally and politically. Speaking yesterday at the United Mine Workers of Amer ica convention at Columbus, Ohio, Lewis predicted "ignominous defeat" for MT. Roosevelt if he accepts an- other presidential nomination.
 MT. Roosevelt is the third poten- tial 1940 Democratic nominee pro- scribed by Lewis in his role. as po- litical partner in the New Deal. Last summer he denounced Garner as a labor batting, whiskey drinking poker playing, evil old man." This week he opened up on Federal Se- curity Administrator Paul v. Mo- Mutt as a two per cent bagman," referring to the two per cent touch the Indiana Democratic organiza- ton makes against office holders salaries. His most recent shot at MT. Roosevelt continues to narrow the Democratic field but turns the left wing labor spotlight on Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, in whose 1940 presidential aspirations Lewis al- ready has shown interest.
 The CIO leader, whose various labor and political organizations contributed time and some $500, GOO in loans and gifts to the 1886 Roosevelt campaign, followed his third term remarks yesterday with a castigation of the second New Deal administration on general principles. His words produced the sharp and open break between C1O headquarters and the White House which has been expected for weeks. Lewis practically threatened Demo- crats with the loss of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York next November url- less the New Deal-Democratic par ty resumes its 1936 coalition with left wing labor.
 Although Lewis expressed the opinion that Mir. Roosevelt would not be third term candidate there is no conclusive evidence yet and, on the contrary, there is substantial proof that the president Is permit ting his cabinet aides and others to keep the third term booming haps just in case. In any event, Lewis has challenged MT. Roosevelt to repeat past triumphs without

37 THOUGHT LOST
 ON MINED

Amsterdam, Jan. 25-UP)-Thir- ty-seven persons, including a num- per of passengers, were believed missing today from the Norwegian steamer Biarritz, 1,752 tons, which sank after striking mine 36 miles northwest of Ymuiden.
 Twelve passengers and seven members of the crew of the Biar- ritz, rescued by the Norwegian steamer Borgholm, arrived at Ymuiden. The Borgholm also car- zied the bodies of three persons who died after having been rescued. Two were passengers and one was a wireless operator. They were tl- cluded among the 37 estimated dead.
 The second officer of the Biar- ritz, 6 survivor, said that the ship went down within half minute of an explosion which occurred at l a. m. today. Some passengers and members of the crew reached a motor lifeboat. Others aboard were feared drowned or killed in the ex- plosion.
 The Biarritz was en route to Antwerp from Oslo when 1t struck 8 mine.

JOHNSON, PHELAN
 ADMITTED TO BAR
Local Young Men T. k e Lawyers Oath In Hart-
 ford Courtroom

Twenty-eight young men, among them, Joseph Phelan and Irving Johnson of this city, who success fully passed the recent bar exam nations were formally admitted to the bar at the Superior Court at Hartford Tuesday.
 The new members took the law yer's oath, as well as the oath of commissioner of the court, admins cred by Lucius P. Fuller, clerk of the court.
 Superior Court Judge Ernest A. Inglis said that lawyers must have integrity, industriousness and ideal- ism.
 Referring to 8 book which calls the law a maze of abstract prin- ciples and a fraud, Judge 1nglis said:
 "Tf any of you hold this view, let me urge you to turn back now. If it is a fraud, you will soon find yourselves on WPA. am not ready to agree that law is g fraud"
 The judge declared that there was no place in the profession for lawyer who did not have integrity, He advised them to lead a moral life in, as well as out of, their prac- tice of the law.
 "You owe," he said, "a duty tc your client and to the court tc ferret out all the facts" He declared that lawyer must be a good judge of human nature and that he ~ must continue to study the law.
 The law, he stated, is sometimes criticized because 1t follows preced- ent. But, he emphasized, without precedent there would be no uni- formity in the application of jus- tice.
 Of the two, he placed more im- portance on study than on social contacts.
 Attending the ceremonies were Superior Court Judges Robert l.. Munger, Kenneth Wynne and Ed ward J. Daly.
