LEWIS LIKELY To
BACK ROOSEVELT
NO DEFINITE ANNOUNCEMENT
MADE; LABOR LEADER HAD
PREDICTED DEFEAT
BY Lyle c. Wilson

Omitted Press Stan Correspondent
Washington, Sept ftp II
looks today as though John J..
Lewis, chief OF the CLIO, the Unit
ed Mine Workers and of Labor's
NeH-P sEtiean-Leagne.- may play
on the New Deal team again this
year although he recently thought
President Roosevelt would be
"ignominiously defeated" for
third term.
Unlike this weeks endorsement
OF Mr.. Roosevelt by Mayor Fiorello
II. LaGuardia OF New York, a cam
paign benediction by Lewis would
represent a real reversal OF senti-
ment.
1t is a political paradox that La
Guardia's substantially discounted
endorsement this week Is likely to
boost Mr.. Roosevelts chances con.
ment which some persons believe
shortly will be coming from Lewis
That is because the Congress Of In.
dustrial Organization strength APP
parently Is pfepohdeFantly for Mr..
Roosevelt regardless OF Lewis.
Some OF his chief aities and largest
union groups are for a third term.
Some persons, therefore. regard
Lewis as a political liability and
believe his endorsement of the Adj.
ministration would do Wendell L.
Willkie. Republican presidential
candidate. more good than harm
That is on the theory that most
OF Lewis followers will be for the
New Deal anyway. but that some
potential Roosevelt votes might be
lost to the president in protest
against Lewis support.
