 New York, Nov. g (U.P0 - President Roosevelt's fourth term problem No. l today lies in congress where, despite Democratic gains, he must maneuver to overcome con- servative coalition opposition on do- mestim issues and to bypass the senate islationist minority which may wreck his postwar foreign plans.
 He will return to Washington to- morrow from Hyde Park, but not for long. MT. Roosevelt doubtless soon will be on his way to Paris to accept the De Gaulle governments invita- tion to visit the newly liberated country and thence to the place where, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Marshal Premier Jo- sci Stalin are to meet. Their press ing job is to pick up the tough ques- tions the Dumbarton Oaks Con- ferees put aside.
 The fourth term mandate is ex- pected to revive the New Deal at home pharse of activity which was lapsing as the war developed-and to encourage MT. Roosevelt to seek a way around the obstacle of the senate treaty making powers if it

 London, Nov. 9.-(UP)-President Roosevelt probably will come to Eu- rope within the next six weeks to meet Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin and tackle at least five pressing international political problems, diplomatic quarters said today.
 The President is expected to pay his first wartime visit to England soon and at the same time accept Gen. Charles De Gaulle'S invitation to Paris. Where the Allied "big three" will hold their first confer ence since Teheran 8 year ago was matter of conjecture, however.
 The United States reluctance to commit itself on major European issues during the presidential cam paign has delayed clarification of several particularly thorny prob lems, but negotiations looking otw- ard their solution now were likely to be accelerated.
 These problems, expected to be among the main topics to be dis

 The new congress will have to clinch with problems of unprece- dented nature and difficulty in con- nection with preparing for peace while war still is on. On the senate will fall the responsibility for help ing to shape the peace and to ratify this country's participation in a world security organization.

 Paris, November 9. - (UPl - It. Gen. George s. Patton hurled elements of three more divisions into a devel- oping offensive aimed at the Saar Basin today, and two of them struck out north of Metz to clamp a pincers around that baSion.
