imposed last October at the request

Thirdand dFourthTerms
Beset World With Ills,
Farley Declares
BY the Associated Press

HAMILTON, N. Y, Feb. 1S.-I
James A. Farley blames the third
and fourth terms of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt for many of the ills
which beset the world today"
Mr.. Farley last night said those
terms brought great mind, but
one worn by the weight of years
and cares of state, to the all-impor-
tant conferences at Teheran and
Yalta."
The former Postmaster General
and Democratic National Commit
tee chairman spoke at Colgate Uni
versity in opening lecture series.
Attacks Wallace's Race.
Mr.. Farley also attacked Henry
A. Wallace's third party, saying it
was formed by one who wouldn't
play according to the. rules in the
Republican or the Democratic par
ties"
Mr.. Farley mentioned neither Mr..
Wallace nor President Roosevelt by
name.
He asserted that many of the
ills which beset the world today can
be traced to the third and fourth
terms" and added:
I'VE had worn Lear dividing the
world in series of concessions en-
bodied in secret agreements, which,
having arisen from the Pandora's
box of secret diplomacy, are
plaguing the worlds children with
hind death and fears"
Not the "ResoIute Mind"
This mind, Mr.. Farley said, was
not the vital, resolute mind that
gave a despairing nation hope with
the clarion CALL We have nothing
to fear but fear ITSELF"
He said young men must be
trained to take over leadership"
else the party and the Nation are
weakened, with the danger that the
race may be lost"
In a discussion following his ad-
dress, Mr.. Farley said it would be
"presumptious" for him to state
whether he would accept the Demo-
cratic vice presidential nomination
this year if it were offered.

Another party leader here, who
also asked not to be quoted by

said the Democrats might as we'll

them in key states this fall.
The Associated Press said that
the Isacson victory, and especially
its size, was amazing to political
observers in New York who had
eyed the election closely for a hint
as to the Wallace strength in No
vember
The New Workers were particular
ly interested not only in Mr.. Wal
lace's effectiveness, but in the
strength of the ALP, an important
factor in State politics for several
years:
Several labor unions dropped out
of the ALP last month after it in
dorsed the Wallace presidential can
didacy.
In campaigning for Mr.. Isacson,
Mr.. Wallace assailed particularly the
policies of the Truman administra-
ton with respect to Palestine. The
Bronx has a heavy Jewish popula-
ton.
ALP orators also appealed to
Puerto Ricans in the district by at
tacking administration actions af-
fecting their native land, which
President Truman will visit at the
end of this week.
Baldwin Halls Victory.
C. B. Baldwin, Mr.. Wallace's cam
paign manager. hailed the election
as "proof-as Mr.. Wallace has been
saying for months-that the people
demand a new party, a third party
led by Henry Wallace, dedicated to
achieving peace, security and album
dance"
"Mr. Isacson won," Mr.. Baldwin
declared, because he campaigned
on the Wallace program-for out
right repeal of the Hartley
Act, restoration of price control,
expansion of democratic rights, an
end to the Truman doctrine, defeat
of universal military training and
the Marshall Plan as presented to-
Congress, and full United States
support for the United Nations, for
progress at home and peace abroad" :"
Mayor ODwyer and Mrs. Roose-
welt refused to comment, but Mr..
Flynn said the result was due to
Communist activity and apathy by
many voters.

Friction Is Reported
Growing in Palestine
Commission OF u. n.
BY the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. 1S.-
Serious friction was reported to-
day to be developing in the
United Nations Palestine Com
mission.
While U. N. officials stressed the
fact that the commissions two re-
ports to the Security Council were
approved unanimously, private
sources indicated a growing con-
flict in the secret meetings.
This was reflected yesterday in
statements by DR.. Karel Lisicky OF
Czechoslovakia, commission chair
man, and the Philippine representa-
tive, Senator Vicente j. Francisco
DR.. Lisicky told a news confer
ence then that he did not feel the
commission should express its views
on the nature of the international
military force needed to carry out
the partitioning of the Holy Land
Wants Big s to Supply Force.
Mr.. Francisco did not attend the
conference held by the other four
members of the commission. He
issued statement later, however,
saying the force should be supplied
by the five big powers.
Mr.. Francisco also said he wanted
further efforts to be made to set
tie the dispute between the Jews
and Arabs, although the commits
sion's special report on security in
dicated this was hopeless.
Informed quarters said Mr.. Fran
cisco had been unhappy for some
time over the inSistence of other
commission members to keep their
proceedings secret. He was under
stood to feel there was no reason
to hold closed meetings.
The Security Council decided to
begin debate on the commission's
two reports next Tuesday. The de-
lay was agreed on to allow dele
gates time to get instructions from
their governments on the question
Of setting up an international force.
Trusteeship Group Meets.
The Trusteeship Council was
called into session for II am. to-
day to begin debate on a draft
statute which will serve as con-
stitution for the international zone
of Jerusalem. Under the partition
plan, the Trusteeship Council has
responsibility for administering Je-
rusalem.
The Security Council was sched-
uled to resume debate on the Indo-
nesian question at 10:30 am. The
Council also called an afternoon
meeting for 2:30 pm. to take up the
dia-Pakistan dispute.
The Council held two sessions or
