The National Whirligig NEWS BKIIIND the NEWS WASHINGTON By Ray Tucker FORECAST The current agitation for a third term for President Roosevelt has precipitated such a high fever at Washington that certain politicos and industrial lobbyists have briefed the pros and cons for themselves and their clients. Though their conclusions differ, here is a general survey of their thoughts and evidence: The pro-third termers note first that the President appears to be grooming no heir, with the possible exception of Senator Barkley. Sec- Jl fViow nm'nt. nut that ho Vim iUIIU'J, m-J I never declared publicly or privately that he will not run again. Various union labor groups have furnished an occasion for thrusting the crown away publicly with demands that he stand for reelection, but he would give no commitment.

Two close friends Vice President Garner and Madame Perkins have privately asked his intentions without receiving any reply. Lastly, he is rebuilding and refinancing the Democratic machine with relief funds so that his friends rather than his enemies will control the 1940 convention. Finally, they know that Mr. Roosevelt, like others of his family, glories in breaking traditions. For all these reasons they are convinced that he will run again if the economic and political times are propitions.

REBUTTAL The cons, however, present equally cogent arguments to the contrary. But they depend for the bulk of theier proof on evidence which takes no account of the Roosevelt personality. They argue that in 1942, if not earlier, the nation will face the most severe panic in history, largely due to New Deal spending and relief policies. They think that Mr. Roosevelt is far-sighted enough to forsee such disaster, and that he doesn't care to be sitting in the White House when it hits.

As an ex-President, he can argue with historians that economic doomsday came because his policies were not pursued by his successor. But if he were then the chief executive, he could not avoid the blame. They believe that F. D. R.

would rather ge a greaet ex-President than a living but libeled chief executive. The cons also note that the Presei-dent is a shrewd student of family history that he frequently models his course after or contrary to Teddy Roosevelt's. And they think that the other Roosevelt's unsuccessful stab in 1912, as well as his inability to control Mr. Taft. has been impressed indelibly on the Roose-veltian memory.

So they conclude that F.D.R. will retire to his new home on Dutchell Hill, write, en- Joy himself and relax. You and he can take your choice! CRACKDOWN The private files of the interstate commerce commission disclose that both railroad executives and labor are biting off their noses during the present desperate attempt to save this basic 26-billion industry from complete collapse and possible government ownership. Here are the two stories: An enterprising inventor has produced a gas engine locomotive which can operate on both rails and highways. It means a great saving to short lines because it can haul freight to a terminus and then, instead of retracing its course at great expense, it can scoot over hilly highways to another short line terminus nearby and furnish commercial service there.

Naturally, it requires fewer employes than a steam-engined train. The four brotherhoods concede that the rail-highway locomotive will furnish new employment, but they can't trackmen. lgree on what kind of railroad labor 7rakemen shall be eliminated in lthe economy process. Therefore thaw 4. ii win collective xnumos down on it The executives also sin economically.

Some years ago, rival roads agreed to make freieht de liveries at key points Denver, Chicago, New York without regard to time of arrival. If Road A had a more direct route to the delivery point, it promised to hold UP actual door deliveries of freight until the slower Road showed up its stuff. The result has been, labor spokesmen note, that freight traffic has been steadily lost to competing carriers trucks, barges, pipe lines. The two incidents explain why F.D.R. will probably crack down with a brand new railroad law at a special session in November.

CONTACT Although President Roosevelt is fishing far out In the pacific ocean, he took pains before eaving the capital to make sure mat he would not be distant from wie political shore. Mr. Roosevelt notified collectively and separately his cabinet members, his economic experts and jnendly politicos to keep him informed of every economic, business or political development of an 'optimistic nature.

He can know in a minute when a sparrow falls when prices rise when a political enemy is licked. And he can let you know in a minute from his fishing spot off the Galapagos islands what he thinks about it, by fireside chat or by Steve's dispatches. SELECTIVE It's an old political joke that was originally utilized when a certain southern governor sought a senate seat some years ago, but it has been revised effectively in several Democratic senatorial primaries.

Again an anti-New Deal state executive is the butt. According to anecdote, the governor had arranged for a speech in a small town on a Saturday afternoon. In order to stage an impressive demonstration, "his local managers asked tradesmen to close their stores during his three-hour appearance on the scene. Every storekeeper complied except a hard-boiled hardware merchant, who wanted to know why he should deprive himself of the profitable business he ordinarily did on a Saturday afternoon. "But," countered the politicos, "don't you understand tne governor's going to be here and we must close all the stores!" "Good lord," replied the hardware dealer, "he doesn't steal in the daytime, does he?" ADVISER The dusty files of the old A.A.A.

supply a juicy sidelight on Professor Thurman Arnold, chief government trust-buster and F.D.R.'s No. 1 man on the O'Mahony monopoly committee. When Mr. Arnold was working for the three A's he was shipped to the Philippines to investigate the sugar industry there. His reports were so irrelevant and uppity that Prew Savoy, then general counsel for the A.A.A.

sent Mr. Arnold the following cable: "Cut out being a prima donna and start being a lawyer." WHY ARE SO MANY NEW CARS LUBRICATED WITH PENNZOIL?
