Public utterances of Mr. Roosevelt and his political associates add up to those conclusions. The third term possibility had weekend attention after the President spoke Friday before the union and at Mt. Vernon, Va.

Russia offered Great Britain and France an alliance in which each nation would pledge its entire armed forces and all of its resources to resist aggression. The Daredevil Wasnt Paid! Movie daredevils often hurtle their autos over cliffs and bound dangetously down a mountainside, but tbey get paid for it. A. C. Thompson of Brigham City tried that very thing today in Sardine Canyon, but all he got for his trouble were a few bruises and numerous dents in his car. Even then, he felt fortunate not to have been killed. According to Deputy Sheriffs Julian Bair and Wesley Malm-bersomeone excitedly phoned the Cache sheriff department this morning, saying between breaths that they were following a car near the summit of Sardine Canyon when suddently that car failed to negotiate a curve and plunged off the road into Dry Lake below.

It looked pretty bad because the drop from the highway to the bottom of Dry Lake is a long one. The deputy aheriffs hurried to the accident scene, and discovered that Mr. Thompson had driven off the road, but that the car had all the way stayed to the bottom. Mr. Thompson was hardly scratched, though the auto had groaned some under the beating. right-aide-- FAMINE OF SOFT COAL THREATENS repel aggression. , Both Poland and Rumania are reluctant to accept any formal offer of Russian aid because they do not want to antagonize Germany and also because they fear that In any general war In ahich Russia added them, their own countries would be a battle ground for German and Russian armies. However, it seemed increasingly apparent that Russia would soon be a part of the "peace front," pledged to provide Poland and Rumania with war munitions if they asked for them and to contribute airh planes to a air force pool against any aggressor nation. According to Russian sources in Paris, Russia during the last few days has asked all Baltic nations Russian-British-Frenc- . informally whether they desired or accept Russian assistance and protection against Germany or any other country which might threaten their Independence. These sources said Esthonla and Latvia declined to bind themselves to any agreement now, but informants added that Russia believing it had a direct Interest In preventing any German drive to the east," might intervene forbibly, agreement or no agreement. If any Baltic country were attacked. Entente Revival Poland, now fully in the "peace front, was reported to have offered armaments and military cooperation without a security guarantee, however to Lithuania, and Latvia. Russias plan, and British and French ideas as well, seemed to pcint to a revival of the old Triple Entente which took' the three nations into the world war together. The triple alliance proposal could be effected without bringing in Poland and Rumania. It would be a mutual guarantee by Britain, France and Russia but the private understanding would be that of Britain and France aided Poland or Rumania, Russia would bring its tremendous fighting force into the would Es-tho- ation.

Britain To Decide It was understood Litvinov agreed that the Soviet Union would help Rumania, Poland and other members of the security bloc provided Britain, France and Russia decide in advance exactly what aid each will give the other against aggression. A list of questions which Litvinov submitted to Sir William Seeds, British ambassador to Moscow, was aimed as ascertaining whether the British would accept such a scheme. If the British accept, the Soviets want general start discussions to determine what contribution each of the three powers will make to NEW YORK.
