Eshelman, 22, of Carlisle, student flier on his second solo trip, was picked up on the Georges Banks fishing grounds today- apparently lost 175 miles from shore. Capt.

NIGHT-LONG FLIGHT Still unexplained, however, was the flight with only enough gasoline for 175 miles. Eshelman took off before dark yesterday and was not sighted until he dropped a message at 6 a.m. to the trawler Storm, asking directions to the nearest land. Eshelman was on vacation and rented the plane for a one-hour solo flight. "He hadn't more than 10 hours of instruction," an airport official said.

he wanted mostly was instruction on radio and compass flying something the newcomer usually lets wait. That's what makes me think he may have had something more than a mere land cruise in mind when he took off." MESSAGE DROPPED plane circled about the Storm for several minutes before it dropped a message attached to a five-gallon oil can. The message read: "Point direction of land from your deck." The plane was flying high and went out of sight only to return an hour later and then fly off again. Persons close to Eshelman said they believed he was trying to hop to Europe.

RADIOES ALL WELL From the liner, itself, came this wireless message to the Associated Press: "The' passengers are well disciplined and in good health. "The outlook of landing in the Isle of Pines, Cuba, has just been cabled. We hope to make a landing soon." The message apparently had been sent without knowledge that Federico Laredo Bru, Cuban President, had withdrawn a conditional of refuge for offer, Jewish temporary, on board the vessel. In New York, E. H.

WILSON WASHINGTON, June campaign to re-elect President Roosevelt in 1940 began today under Cabinet auspices, and led immediately to an announcement by Sen'ator Rush D. Holt W.Va.), that he would ask the Senate at this session formally to oppose a third term. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes opened the draft-Roosevelt movement with the statement: "I want Roosevelt for a third term." His announcement, written for magazine, came within 48 hours of revelation that Vice-President John N. Garner would seek the 1940 Democratic nomination regardless of his chief's plans.

ICKES HITS GARNER Democrats were back-stabbing the President. Without naming Garner, he ridiculed his candidacy as that of "one whose 'strength' is that of knowing nothing, saying nothing, doing nothing." Holt said his resolution would be a simple, proposal that the Senate express its sentiment against third terms. He has contemplated offering, it for some time and told the United Press today it would go in this month. Holt and the New Deal long have been feuding. The Ickes article, which jarred the Capital, had further significance because of the probability that the President will leave 15 on a transcontinental journey which would be accompanied, even without his cooperation, with a tremendous third term build-up.

Congressional friends of the Agriculture Department chief, who they had talked to him the 1940 race, expressed the belief, however, that he would not permit entry of his name unless it was certain President Roosevelt would not seek a third term. Other members of Congress said Wallace might seek pledged delegates who would swing to a thirdterm movement for the President. Talk of the secretary's candidacy echoed a recent visit to his native State of Iowa and other Midwestern points by Paul H. Appleby, Wallace's assistant.

Appleby, former newspaperman whose desk has been the one closest to Wallace for several years, was reported to have sounded out Democratic leaders about Wallace forPresident delegations. Ickes Expresses Fear Of Election 'Reaction' ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June (P) Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes declared today persons' opposing President Roosevelt for a third term "will not, only elect a Republican candidate next year, but will return the country to reaction."
