I' IWsfcSt r Holding Cards, Says Observer WNU By WILLIAM BRUCKART Service, National Press Bldg., Washington, Senator Burke, WASHINGTON. the Nebraska Democrat, has come forward with a proposition fixing the term of the President of the United States at six years and limiting an individual to one term. It is not a new proposition. It has been suggested before as long ago as Presi- dent Jacksons term but it takes on a new significance now. Its new importance is not because of Senator Burkes declared intention to press the thing through to enactment so much as in the fact that third term talk is all over the place these days. I do not profess to know what is in Mr. Roosevelts mind about a third term. That is one subject upon which he has kept his own counsel Precedent-Make- r The ihird-ler- precedent barrier to Franklin Roosevelt if he thinks four more years will help him to achieve historys rating as a great president, thinks William Bruckart. will be no of Mr. Roosevelts outstanding characteristics are his enjoyment of the power of the chief executive and his uillingness to create Two new precedents. severely. He is completely capable of keeping his own counsel when he desires, and I can say without equivocation that he has kept it in this case. The Washington correspondent or observer usually can f as to the presidential get a mind in ordinary matters, but not so regarding the third term. Thus, having made a reassuring statement that this is only a guess as to the future, I shall try to put the puzzle sections together and make a prediction. There are many, many factors to be examined. Without them, there can be no judgment as to the circumstance. With them in full view, cerain conclusions appear lhescapable. Note that I said appear. I use that word for the reason that Mr. Roosevelt is one of the few men ever to occupy the White House whose whole attitude may change compleely overnight on any given subject. Mr. Roosevelt Revels ' quite tip-of- In the Presidency Roosevelt has a consuming desire to go down in history as a great President. There can be no doubt of that. He wants history to show him as an outstanding friend of the people, the masses He will let nothing prevent him from that course if it is within his power. If there is one trait in the makeup of the man that transcends others, I believe it is his desire to establish new precedents. We speak of him as precedent-breaker- . That is incorrect. He likes to make new ones. No other President has ever done more than make motions about a third term.. Mr. Roosevelt would not be disturbed by the fact that never before had any President occupied the White House for 12 years. I suspect that he would enjoy doing that sort of thing. And when I mention enjoyment, I need to refer at the same time to the very well known fact that Mr. Roosevelt enjoys being President. That is, he has what we say is a good time on the job. There is no real weariness for him as Chief Executive. Within the range of my quarter of a century as an observer, there has been no other President who so reveled under the generally accepted tiemendous burden of the presidency. Mr Presidents Popularity lias Religious Fervor Behind the scenes, no President has ever had a hallelujah chorus of so many voices around him. There has never been a President with such great personal popularity as Mr. Roosevelt. The combination of these things, the continual songs of praise that he hears from his close advisors and the adoring multitudes well, I firmly believe that no living man can maintain the equilibrium necessary for sound and sane s thinking while such fervor toward him is shown. Seldom, if ever before, has any President had the same type of promoting theorists, starry eyed dreamers around him. The country an never has had administration as radical as Mr. Roosevelt's regime. At no time have as many crackpots, schemet s, theorists with untried panaceas had a chance to get, tlur plans put into action. Some aie workable; most of them are nut. The fact that some have w 01 kid, however, is the vuy reason the whole tiew sinks around and https phi, 'mg for further trials of this that or the other.

Effort to Restore Party To Democrats There is, beside all of these factors, the differences within the party of which Mr. Roosevelt is the titular head. I believe that the Democratic party machinery was completely taken over by the radical wing, and so now there is a definite effort under way to restore the party control to old and tried Democrats. That is to say, the effort is to unhorse the type of men like Ickes, Wallace, Corcoran, Minton of Indiana, and others of that stripe. Men like Senator Harrison and Vice President Garner, and even Jim Farley, do not like to see those other fellows in a position of responsibility. They believe In the Democratic party for Democrats. So, it is quite apparent that the struggle for party control is a rough and tumble fight from now on, because there is a convention of the party to be held in 1940, and it is not too early to line up delegates. Were it not for the battle ahead and the desire of those surrounding Mr. Roosevelt to keep on with his reforms and the jobs Mr. Roosevelt would control the 1940 convention. His declarations of a purge of the party" has made it impossible for him to control the convention without a fight. That is to say, he will be unable to pick the 1940 nominee (to carry out his plans) without a battle. . Z i Z V. oAi Jt 4 " - i v i . a' - r, v has built.

When we have reached that stage, therefore, we have reached the point of determination of the course which Mr. Roosevelt will follow. My owm conclusion is definitely that Mr. Roosevelt is preparing for any eventuality. He is unlikely to say he will or will not run. He will wait. If the situation makes it appear that he can win, he will "accept the nomination; if, however, he believes that he will get licked, he will try to pick the nominee. He will select a man who will do his bidding, if he has not lost control of the party convention. I am convinced Mr. Roosevelt would like to run, but he will not run if there is certain defeat staring him m the face. And when we talk of third terms and precedents, etc., I must recall a certain vote in the senate on February 10, 1928. President Coolidge had said he did not "choose to run, but there were many Democrats who thought that was a trick to invite the nomination. So the senate adopted a resolution, a precedent-making resolution, saying It was the sense of the senate that no President ought to have a third term or something to that effect. How Will They Vote This Time ? It gave me quite a laugh when 1 looked up the vote on that resolution, because I can see some very delicate situations developing for some of the senators who voted for that resolution. It was good politics then, of course, but what, I wonder, are some of those men going to do if Mr. Roosevelt moves in on them with a third term campaign Of the present Democratic members of the senate, we find the following as having voted their expression that no President should have a third term: Ashurst of Arizona, Barkley of Kentucky, Gerry of Rhode Island, Glass of Virginia; Harrison of Mississippi, King of Utah, Thomas of Oklahoma, Wagner of New York, Wheeler of Montana, McKellar of Tennessee, Neely of West Virginia, Fittman of Nevada, Sheppard of Texas, Smith of South Carolina, and Tydings of Maryland. We find also that Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, the great Progressive leader, voted against a third term, and we also note Senator Norris, another Progressive, who said by his vote that no man should have a third term. Well, it struck me as being funny. Take such men as Barkley, the New Deal leader in the senate; and Neely and McKellar, who continually have popped off in praise of Mr. Roosevelt and who have no complaint about any phase of the New Deal. Or consider the plight of Thomas, of Oklahoma, who probably will be reelected and who, therefore, will be faced with a decision if Mr. Roosevelt decides to seek a third term. It will be easy for Tat Harrison, or Wheeler or Smith of South Carolina, to vote fur a similar resolution in the not session, but it wont be so easy for the otheis to decide, because Ihoi e who have opposed some of Mr. Kji iiwclt's program wi'l be able to say thi y aie bin g consistent Wm'irn kuup etr Colon.

A sweeping techni-O- Z Strategy cal reorganization Football of the army is news this week. It might not have come off had it not been for a certain incident on the West Point football field. Gen.

It was an instant of inspired open football, back in the juggernaut days of the guards back and the side-lin- e buck, that saved young Mahn Craig for the army and the current reordering of tactics and equipment Just before the game with Trinity college in 1897, the West Point scholastic command had decided to retire Cadet Craig. Of an ancient army line, with many relatives in the service, he had been visiting around army posts. His marks had suffered. The ax was to fall just after the game. Craig was a brilliant backfield player, but somewhat given to unplanned maneuvers. Carrying the ball at a critical turn of the game, he lost his interference in a broken field. He shook off several tacklers, but, somewhere around the line, a stone wall of Trinity players loomed head. Ducking a hurtling body, scarcely checking his stride, he booted a feet field goal Young Craig winning the game. with appropriate Boots Goal On the Run Frank Mernwell trim m i n g s.

He was a baseball star, alo, and old Pop Anson tried to sign him for the Chicago National team. Born in St. Joseph, Mo., he was the grandson of a Civil war general. His father was a major and he has a son recently out of West Point. In the Spanish-America- n war, the Philippines, France and in minor mixups, he was a quick thinker and a heavily garlanded from the first and known as a progressive tactician.
