nth TERM QUERY
Question Is Left Unanswer-

Conference

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-tR-
President Roosevelt left unanswer-
ed today reporters question
whether he would seek a fourth
term.
The fourth tcrna was injected into
an allegoricaj news conference dis
cussion of the new deal by the
President, in which he referred to
himslf as an old doctor who had
prescribed remedies for a patient
the United States-which was in
-ternally ill back in 1882 and 1888.
On December 7, 1941, he said,
the patient suffered an accident
resulting in some broken bones and
a new type of physician was re-
quired-a physician called Doctor
Win-the-War.

covery.

porter broke in.
In apparent rnomentary irita-
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt said that thai
had not been under discussion and
that this questioner was getting
picayune. The Presiden described
that as grand word, and then,
leaning back in his chair and smil-
ing a bit, he said he knew his
questioner would not mind his re-
mark because he had to say some
thing like that.
