Farley also received com- plimentary votes. The balloting was slow.

Alaska, while pledged to Bank- head, decided at the last minute to change, giving Bankhead three votes and Wallace three votes.

Roosevelt Ilast night accepted the National Demib- cratic convention's precedent break- ing nomination to a third term. In a radio address to the con- vention from his study in the White House here, the President stressed the swift pace in foreign events as influencing his decision to accept the Democratic Party’s call and at- tempt to shatter tradition. The President sald he was sub- mitting to the judgment of his countrymen all he has done {o maintain the Nation's peace and prepare it morally and physically for whatever contingencles that might lle in store for it. Great Choice in History “We face one of the great choices in history,” said the President. “It is not alone the choice of a Gov- ernment by the people versus Dic- tatorship; it is not the choice of freedom versus slavery; it is along the choice between moving forward or falling back, it is all these rolled into one. Continuance of Civilization “It is a continuance of civiliza- tion as we know it, versus ultimate destruction of all that we have held dear—religion against Godless- ness, ideal of justice against the practice of force, moral decency against the firing squad, and cour- age to speak out and to act, ver- sus the false lullaby of appease- ment.” Declaring that a selfish, greedy people could not be free, the Presi- dent asserted that American peo- ple must decide whether these things are worth sacrifices, money, energy and self. The President sald the people would decide on the record as it has been made and the record as “things as they are.” Had Planned Retirement President Roosevelt asserted he had made plans for retiring to pri- vate life of his own choice to be- gin next January at the conclu- sion of his second term but “these plans, like so many other plans that have been made. in the world which now seems as distant as an- other planet today, all private plans and all private lives, have been re- pealed by an over-riding public danger. In the face of that dan- ger, all those who can be of serv- ice toythe public have no choice but to offer themselves for a serv- ice and those capacities for which they may be fitted. Will Not Turn Back “Those are the reasons why I have had to admit to myself and now I state to you that my consci- ence will not let me turn my back to the call to service.” The President said he would have to forego little ftrips he had planned, he will be unable toénter into ary debates or make any po- litical campaign and will never be (Continued from Page Seven)
