 Labor Board Wins
 Washington, Jan. 20-UP)-The supreme court today denied the pe- tltion of three Providence, R. l., auto dealers for review of their contest over the right of the National La- Dor Relations Board to intervene in labor disputes affecting their en- ployes.
 The challenge was brought by Henry Levaur, Inc; Brady Go. and Bradburn Motors Go. They cOntended they were engaged in purely intra-state retail trade and that the federal government had no regulatory power over them.
 The first circuit court of appeals held, however, they were engaged in interstate commerce and that any stoppage of their businesses would burden such commerce.
 The companies did not contest NLRB actions requiring them to discontinue certain alleged unfair labor practices to the detriment of the International Association of Machinists.

 It was recalled that the recent de- cree placing all export goods undeI control of Minister of Corporations Renato Ricci permitted him to amass and dispatch any Italian goods of which Germany has need and the Germans are expected tc make known their wants at the con- ference.

 The precedent ot oily two terms of president for any man, intact since George Washington ended his seccnd tecln Ill 1797, will crumble when MT. Roosevelt takes the oath.
 In many respects it was a strange inauguration. It is being compared with two other momentous occasions in the nations history-when Abra- ham Lincoln took the oath of office in 1861 with the nation divided against itself, and when Woodrow Wilson began his second term in 1917 only a month before the United States declared war against Ger many.
 Inauguration day-except in times of crisis-usually is a jubilant holi- day for the party remaining in power Or busting an old regime. To- day grave undertone ran through the pageant. The president and event the hawkers of hot dogs along the parade route reflected it,
 Keynote In 1883
 Inducting the New Deal on March 4, 1883, when the crisis was internal MT. Roosevelt's keynote was: we have nothing to fear but fear itself" On Jan. 20, 1887, at the second in- augural, it was: "One third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nour- ished." Today, the theme was that Americas chief danger lies in fail- ure to realize its peril in a world in which Relationships and the phil osophy of force are on the march.
 Ten days before his 59th birthday, MT. Roosevelt reached his third in- augural unbroken by the crushing pressure of eight years of "the worlds toughest job'. His face was more f1eshy than in 1883 and more deeply lined. His hair was a little thinner. He has lost one tooth. But his personal physician, Rear Ad- miral Ross T. McIntire, said he was in peak physical condition, at 1871a pounds, resilient and ready for the events fate may bring in the term he has promised to serve, God will ing" until it's constitutional end at noon, Jan. 20, 1945.

 English Cities Smashed
 Berlin, Jan. 20.-(UP)-German bomber formations, in a series of widespread raids, attacked London, Southampton and British southeast coast harbors, fired an 8,000-ton merchantmen in a convoy and smashed again at the island of Malta, the high command said to- day.

 While carrying out armed recon naissance, the high command re- ported, direct hit was scored on an 5000 ton merchantmen in con- coy 15 miles southwest of Har- wich, setting the vessel afire and causing it to list.
 The aircraft carried Illustrious was said to have been hit again by heavi caliber bombs in the attack on Valletta, Malta, yesterday.
