[0 DEED THIRD TERM TALK
WOULD Bl DISGRACE
| Washington, May 4? President
Ivoosavelt made a statement today for
the purpose of putting an end to the
j "third term nonsense." He said in
pDsitive terms that for him to accept a
nomination after what he has said at
various times would be a "historical
ihsgrace." Ho says he has no intention
of taking a nomination no matter what
j the circumstances.
I This statement was made by Presi- j
'dent Roosevelt after be bad held a con
ference with friends yesterday. It in
said Ibat at the conference he had told
hiS friends that to run again would be
impossible. It leaked out that he was
advised to make no statement, as to do
so jrould destroy a rallying cry of the
administration forces. Fearing that
this would be misunderstood, the pres
ident said again that he could not
honorably be a candidate.
