Run for Third Term
BY the Assoeiosed Press

James A. Farley said today Presi-
dent Roosevelt told him in mid-1939
he would not run for third term
but at the same time turned thumbs
down on other prospective Demo-
cratic nominees.
Mr.. Farley said Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
pressed q desire for nominee who
would continue my policies" but not
be a Eyes man" and told the then
national chairman:
"You must understand one thing.
do not want to campaign for a
losing ticket"
Mr.. Farley said he replied: Boss,
as the party's leader you'll have to
campaign for whatever ticket is
selected comment to which Mr..
Roosevelt gave no answer.
Thought Dewey formidable"
Continuing his Golfers Magazine
series on why he brokek with the
four term President, Mr.. Farley re-
lated that Mr.. Roosevelt regarded
TnomaS T.. dewey as tIle IlooC Ahely
Republican presidential prospect for
1910 and said he would make a
formidable opponent" although ar
rogant and. ambitious" Mr.. Farley
thought the Republicans would pick
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan.
Mr.. Farley said the no-third-term
statement came from Mr.. Roosevelt
during a meeting at Hyde Park in
the summer of 1899. He said the
President told him in an impress
sive whisper"
Jim, am going to tell you some
thing l have never told another
living soul. OF course, I will not
run for a third term. Now I don't
want you to pass this on to any one,
because it would make my role diff
cult if the decision were known pre-
maturely."
Held Garner Impossible"
At the same conference, Farley
said, the President discussed pro-
spective successors, but declared
John Garner was Just impossible, y
Henry Wallace did not have ''it. -

Teachers talk
wages with Hunt

Herold c. Hunt, Chicago's new
superintendent of schools, encoun-
tered Chicago's No. / schools
problem this week, when he dis
cussed higher wages for teachers
with four members of the Chi
cago Teachers Union.
Hunt and John Fewkes, presi-
dent of the union, both character
lied the meeting as satisfactory,
however, it was decided that the
union would rewrite its analysis
of teachers wages in more precise
terms of dollars and cents.
Teachers are asking that funds
for wage increases come from the
state treasury, as the result of
special session, or from a stepped
up local tax rate.

Acting as chief defense counsel
was Detroit labor attorney Ernest
Goodman, who at the request of
the Civil Rights Congress, UAW-
CLIO and other organizations, made
the original investigation which
won the condemned CT new trial
by presidential decree. The Lee
mas Woods Defense Committee,
co-chaired by George F. Adde's,
UAW-CIO International secre-
tary-treasurer and Rev. T. T. Tim
berlake, president of the Baptist
Ministers Conference, was formed
and sponsored by many prorni-
nent individuals for the purpose
of guaranteeing Woods fair trial.
Goodman was assisted by army
appointed Major Evans C. Bunk
er, former Seattle lawyer; Captain
John A. Mclaughlin, former Kan
sas City attorney, and Carlos Ra-
mos, executive secretary of the
Philippine Lawyers Guild, and
veteran of Bataan Death March
and Japanese Concentration
Camp, who uncovered much of
the evidence which resulted in the
acquittal.

MEANWHILE. the Washington
legal staff of the USA this week
sent the Chicago Star an analysis
of the Globe Co. case, which marks
the first major lawsuit in this
area under the Taft-Hartley Act.
Assistant Counsel Frank Dom
ner of the steel union pointed
out that this case furnishes
very dramatic example of the
way in which the Taft-HartleY
Act is being used to break down
living standards"
The Globe Co. has sued Local
1868 for $4,000, charging viola
ton of a no-strike clause in the
contract. However, the union con-
tract contains wage re-opening
clause which legalizes the strike.
THE COMPANY had, on July
80, lost a request for an anti
strike injunction in Judge Pry-
stalski's court.
Said Bonner: THE ink was
not dry on the Judges order
denying the injunction) when
the company turned around and
brought a suit for damages in
Federal court against the union
=. based on the same claim
that was involved in the in
junction action"
The union is striking for 1919
