Farley Might
Opposed DR
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent


Washington, June 8 - CUP -
James A. Farley's resignation as
New York State Democratic chair
man was interpreted today to mean
that he would permit his name to
be put in nomination for president
this year in opposition to fourth
term for Mr.. Roosevelt.
The political friendship that led
the two men to high places long
has been dead. They became asso-
ciated during Mr.. Roosevelt's first
term as governor of New York to
which he was elected in 1928. Their
close political partnership continued
until after the new deal Democratic
triumph of 1926 in which Mr..
Roosevelt-with Farley as his mana
ger-carried every state in the union
except Maine and Vermont.
There never was evidence of per-
sonal attraction between the two
men, And after 1896 the political tie
began to weaken. Farley's intimates
here believe that he will make last
stand show of opposition to Mr..
Roosevelts continuance in tn e
White House at next months
Democratic national convention.
If Sen. Harry F.. Byrd. D., Va. for
instance, or some comparable Dem
Ocrat will permit himself to be plac-
ed in nomination in opposition to
the president. Farley doubtless will
stay out of It, He will be at the
convention as delegate and as a
master mind of the anti-fourth
erm minority. But If no other
Democrat is willing to demand a
show Of hands and faces on the
question Of a fourth term, Farley is
expected to do so.
The purpose Is to poll every one
of the Its delegates individually

President Roosevelt today is in bet
ter physical condition than most
men of his age-62-according to
his personal physician Vice Admiral
Ross T. McIntire.
McIntire's report, which followed
O complete physical checkup on the
president, removed health as a
probable factor in Mr.. Roosevelts
1914 political plans, contradicting
suggestions by his political oppo-
nents that he could not Withstand
the rigors of either fourth presi-
dental campaign or fourth term.
McIntire's report was prompted
BY a request from White House re-
porters for the results OF a physical
examination of Mr.. Roosevelt made
Nav 26 at the Naval Medical Center
in Bethesda, Md.
HE is in better physical condition
than the average man OF his age.
said McIntire, who also is surgeon
general of the Navy.
Events leading to the examination
began last winter shortly after he
returned from the four power con-
ferences in Cairo and Teheran.
According to McIntire, the presi-
dent never performed better in his
life" than in Cairo and Teheran,
but when he returned to Washing
ton In late December he was tired
and became a target for influence
and bronchitis.
The president went to the naval
hospital late in March for check,
and in early April McIntire said he
needed rest, sunshine and exercise.

went south to the coastal South
