WHITE HOUSE: Welles Return Down the bay at New York went some 25 reporters to meet the incoming in-coming Conte di Savoia. A few minutes later, in her card room, they faced a tall, dark-suited and handsome diplomat Behind him was a 90-minute talk with Adolf Hitler; Hit-ler; two meetings with Benito Mussolini; Mus-solini; long and private discussions with Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier. Had he wished. Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles might have pulled big news from his bulging portfolio. Instead he said: "I am mighty glad to see you, and I'm glad to be home." With that he caught a train for Washington where rumors were already al-ready mounting fast Revived was the favorite chestnut that Sumner Welles' report held the key to Franklin Roosevelt's third term ambitions. am-bitions. Said the wiseacres: If Mr. Welles felt a European peace was In the air, the President would retire; re-tire; otherwise, no. Judging by European Eu-ropean news Mr. Welles read the American papers, it looked like a third term.

Third Term Backers Dismayed By Roosevelt's Failure to Speak ri- i . r l dent's Followers; Hull Jackson Combination Further Complicates Political Scene. By WILLIAM BRUCKART WNU Service, National Press Bldg., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON. The political situation sit-uation that fails to provide a good laugh somewhere along the line is rare, indeed. There is, of course, that time-worn expression about politics pol-itics making strange bedfellows, which frequently happens. There is just as much of a laugh for me, however, when these same strangers stran-gers have got Into the same bed-mentioned bed-mentioned in the preceding sentence and the slats fall out from under one of them. Actually, collapse of the slats gives anyone quite a sinking sink-ing feeling, sort of an all-gone sensation. sen-sation. And, so, I am writing this week about how fallen slats have forced some of the boys on the Democratic team to prepare a pallet on the floor. In some quarters, I have heard expressions within the last few days indicating that there is no particular shortage of pallets, but the would-be wheelhorses are having difficulty at discovering the proper floor. It all came about in a series ot events, some of which I have discussed dis-cussed in these columns before but, of necessity, must be repeated. Everyone Ev-eryone knows, for instance, how the payroll boys, anxious to keep their jowls inside the trough, have been carrying on a great drive that they hope will eventuate in a third-term nomination for President Roosevelt. They have been doing right well by themselves, what with federal millions mil-lions to spend; a patronage army mustered by Secretary Wallace who also pays farmers to let him show them how to farm; the vast relief legions and the other government agents of one kind or another, aggregating ag-gregating nearly a million persons, not to mention postmasters. United States attorneys and marshals and the others. They are, or they were, cocky and pretty happy about the whole thing. There were such things as Vice President Garner's candidacy, which was announced without strings attached and with out any reference to whether Mr. Roosevelt should decide the country needs him, again. That candidacy was not welcome; nor was it taken seriously, seri-ously, at first But someone among the amateur strategists within the corps of Presidential advisers advis-ers suddenly awak John Garner ened to the fact that the Garner candidacy might be regarded as serious. Well, there were deep discussions of what to do. Whatever else you can say about the true New Dealer, the hell-and-high-water New Dealer, it must be said that he is a serious person, and he plans his reform of the population popu-lation with graVe determination that what is about to be done for you is; of course, always for your best interests. in-terests. Whitpering Campaign Sees Garner a$ Stooge Out of these discussions has come a whispering campaign. It is exactly ex-actly the same type of whispering campaign as was used against Herbert Her-bert Hoover, when he was Presi dent Only, these whispers are by Democrats about a Democrat It has a technique that is well worked out and it gets results. That is, it gets results if it goes on long enough without anyone seeing what the game is. In the current whispering campaignand cam-paignand its source can be traced to an expert Mr. Garner was pictured pic-tured as just a stooge, just someone striving to break down the New DeaL He was pointed out as disloyal, dis-loyal, a personally disloyal man despite de-spite 40 years as a Democratic bat tler, and his campaign was said to have "flattened out" to such an extent ex-tent that everyone interested in the Democratic party could go home and go to bed you know.'th'eway that is done after an election victory vic-tory is safely in the bag and the worry is over. l am not prepared to argue that Mr. Garner's candidacy is, cr is not washed ur Just at a one-ma guess, I have thought he was rather popular in the parts of the Country whert. I Jha ve traveled ln ceceoi. months. But that is not the story about which I jira writing,... . STRANGE BHD FELLOWS Strange political bedfellows result re-sult in interesting politics, ari-cording ari-cording to William Bruckart, who today discusses the third term Issue in relationship to"the"fto6se-" velt "coattail riders.' The President's Pres-ident's failure to clarify his stand has left third term advocates in an embarrassing position, according ac-cording to this veteran Washington Washing-ton commentator. w&j,aa&jA:u..aii n t t tj I CAN see no reason tvh? a, The story at this time is what has happened in another direction. In the efforts of the strategists to make the fences safe against the Garner bulls, they forgot about the man who built the Democratic Democrat-ic machine of which these strategists are a part In other words, they forgot about "Big Jim" Farley, postmaster general and chairman chair-man of the Demo cratic national committee. com-mittee. They apparently overlooked Mr. Fsley, except that they did a lot of things contrary to his idea of smart politics and fairness to those who had been riding herd in the pastures where votes grow. Mr. Farley has not been happy about the whole thing, and he has been reported on several occasions as be ing prepared to resign. Farley m Candidacy Surprise to Leaders And, now, what confronts the boys? Just an announcement by Mr. Farley that he is an out-and-out candidate for the presidential nomination of the Democratic party, an announcement that ended with "that's that!" When Mr. Farley made that statement to the party leaders in Massachusetts recently, he pulled out more bed slats than you can imagine. He did not say "if the Chief does not run." He said he was running "and that's that!" There are not many folks in the country who do not realize that as a machine politician, Mr. Farley has few equals. He has a personal following fol-lowing that he has built up throughout through-out the nation, men whom he calls by their first names and who write to him as "Dear Jim." The ranks of those who jumped too soon include a lot of senators and representatives who had arrived ar-rived at their places on the payroll by virtue of a happy ride on the Roosevelt coattails. But the Roosevelt Roose-velt coattails might not have borne up under the strain, except for the Farley direction. That is what the early bandwagon crowd is now trying try-ing to measure. They are looking around to see whether their pallet should be on the Farley floor, the Garner floor or the Roosevelt floor, and they are casting squints through partially open doors to see whether there might be comparative peace and political quiet In the next room where the second-choice delegates may have to go at convention time. Hull-Jackton Team May Enter 1940 Race This whole stage scene is further complicated by continued stories that Mr. Roosevelt looks upon Secretary Sec-retary Hull of the state department as a "good man," but with sort of a side glance that "some good liberal lib-eral like Bob Jackson (the attorney general) should be nominated with him." Of course, there is no way to substantiate the story that Mr. Roosevelt wants Hull and Jackson as the team. He has said nothing. I have said before, and there is no reason to change the belief, that Mr. Roosevelt is not going to say anv thine un til about con- fmm vention time. In the mean-time, mean-time, the folks who owe their political po-litical places to Mr. Farley and who have gone off the deep end for Mr. Roosevelt Roose-velt as a third term candidate are CordeU Hull spending sleepless nights. They are afraid to make up their pallets on the floor anywhere in fear of the boogey-man. As I said at the beginning, nearly every political situation contains a good laugh. It is always the more amusing when you see the amateurs trying to play the game of professionals. profes-sionals. The final scene on the stage may not have Garner or Farley Far-ley or Itoosevelt in the center to take, the. acclaim of the audience, but Mr. Garner is going ahead and Mr. Farley is going ahead, and the .thir4-term Readers; are. practipaUy helpless since Mr. Roosevelt stead-lastly, stead-lastly, declines to make 4, public, statement on his intentions. He Just lets the slate stay en the floor, It is simple, ot course, to understand under-stand their distress; What for h stance, would be the position of those fellows, and their relation to the Jobs they now hold. If Mr. Farley Far-ley would, he. the nominee:. They thought they could kick the Gamer candidacy out of tha window, safely. But that question Is secondary now, for the Farley candidacy adds up to names on the payroll and what is a local party leader without his patronage list?
