 Washlngton, March 70. - (up) e. Popular opinion polls reveal prosl. dent Roosevelt ofk now to Q better start for Q fourth nominatlon--lf hG wants it--than during the develop. mont oe the io3o-So movement for q third term
 The Am ,rican Institute of Public Opinion reported on April 2, ip3D that there was less support for Q third term on that date than co any time since the io3e election, The institute reported that 61 per cent of the voters were against Q third term in June, ioS0, but that by April i03e, the opposing per centage had increased Co 70.
 in March, 1889, Fortune maga- zine revealed Q survey indicating that Mir. Roosevelt probably could not be reelected for Q third term, Fortune found that only 30.0 per cent of the total population was of Q mood to vote for Q third term candidate.
 Three months ego tho American Institute took Q fourth term poll and reported Mir. Roosevelt backed by S2 per cent of tho cross section sampled.

FDR's Fourth Term
 Start Shows Impetus
Popular Opinion Poll Reveals President of to More
 Promising Beginning Than Third Campaign

tho schedule Of ipsg-sB-se. Thlrd term discussion, for and against, boz gan shortly after Mir. Roosevoles recollection in November, iDs6.
 But the fourth term movement ls only beginning now. There aro slmllafltles, however, and some of the same persons who promoted the third term boom in its carly stages arc now advocating MT, Roosevelts reelection in iDa4. Notable among these is Gov, M. M. Nicely of West Virginia.
 On August 90, 1888, Nicely told Rock Point, R. T., audience that he was for Mir. Roosevelt for Q third term and that if he sought it: "Nelther the world, nor tho flesh, nor the devil can defeat him"
 Last month in Charleston, W. Va, Nicely told . group of 800 party leaders that the President would be elected to Q fourth term and proposed this toast: "The famous third term President who, next year, will he elected President for Q fourth term"
 Not a great deal had been heard here of fourth term talk until Post- master General Frank O. Walker, who also is Democratic national committo echalrman, revealed that some members os . committee dele- gation had suggested fourth term to Mir. Roosevelt. Since then seV- eral of the Presidents supporters have echoed the fourth term wish, Walker this week began . trans. continental tour of political slgnifi- canoe.
 Rep. Adolph sahath, D., H., re- turning from tho White House Q fortnight ago, told congressional re. portors that ho had tried to open the fourth term subject with MT. Roosevelt but that he just wont talk" about it.
 Sen. Joseph q. 0ufiey, D., Pa, told the Senate last week that mo American tradition says that Q good President cannot serve four terms in the Whllto House"
 This week Sen. James M. Mead, D., N. F., predicted that Mir. Roose- veit would he drafted in i044 # tho war still Is continuing but that he would not run if peace had been attained by that time.
 Meantime, Mir. Roosevelt says nothing which iB about what he said during tho third term boom,
 Mrs, Franklin D. Roosevelt told her press conference this week that 1t k "too soon to begin to think" about Q fourth term. Asked In 1859 about third term prospects, Mrs Roosevelt replied;

Standley's Recall
 Or ReprilnandL Looms
Both Courses Suggested as United States Seeks tC Smooth Sensation Caused By Criticism of SOviets

that standley himself, in Q tele. gram to the department no Jan. uary 20 had reported that the So- viet newspaper Pravda had pub- llshed e review of lend-leaSe aSSist- ance.
 Tho standley incident also was c shock to American leaders who have been putting increasing emphasis upon tho ned for team.work among the United Nations. Acting Seoro- tary of st0to Sumner WelleS, who revealed yesterday that 5tandley's remarks had no authorization from this z 0vernment, must have had that in mind when he emphasized the trust and understanding which arc essential to Allied success.

BY II. o. THOMPSON United Press Staff COrrespOndei

(Unlted Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, March i0,--(UP)- An official reprimand or perhaps the recall of Ambassador William IT. Standley were among the courses suggested today aS the United Htatel sought to smooth the sensation caused by his criticism of the So- yiet Union.
 Pending receipt of Q requested TO. port on tho affair, officials were Rt q loss to explain the unauthorized bluntness with which Htandley charged that Russia was concealinH the true extent of American aid.
 They were concerned lest the ex. cltement which followed Standley'i remarks might divert attention from tho main objective of tho United NationS--the crushing of Germany and Japan. Tho emphasis now ih upon Allied unity, particularly in view Of the important United Na. tlons consultations being planned for tho near future.
 It was becoming clear, meanwhile that Standley's statements in Mos' COW would not interfere with the American lend.lease program and Russia was being assured that the United States has no intention ol meddling in tho soviet's internal af' fairs.
 The administration viewpoint wa that standley's remarks provoked most unfortunate situation, and that # he felt the way he had been represented in Moscow dlspNtehoa he should consult his home gov. ernment and certainly not aid hiF views In such a public fashion.
 4tandley may feel now, according to some observers hUre, that h0 has outllv0d his usefulness and may ask to Do relieved of his duties in Mos. COW. Unless his report to the state dopartmont provides e far different version of the Standley remarks than has appeared in the news papers, an official reprimand ape peared likely. An authoritative source said that it was improbable that Standloy would be recalled immediately. But the possibility was not ruled out entirely.
 Some suggestions were heard that standley had some official sanction for his remarks and that the pres. 0nt excitement was a sort Of dip. lomatio hocus-pocus. Chairman Robert R. Reynolds, D., N. O., of the Senate military affairs commit. tee said;
 II believe every word standley spoke and it waS Of such great importance from Q diplomatic standpoint that I am convinced some ono high in authority ap. proved his assertions before he made them because any man of his maturity and Judgment must have known what terrific repercuSsions would follow"
 Chairman Tom Connolly, D., Tex, of the Senate foreign relations corn- mitteo said that however "ill-Ad- vlsed" tho remarks of standley might have been, he trusted that mo unfavorable reaction" would result from them.
 The aStonishment with which the news of standley'S utterances was received at the state department was apparent among officials there yesterday. They were particularly puzzled over the assertions that Russia was withholding news of American aid because they recalled
