Third-Term Race Seen Dependent On Welles' Report London Paper Declares Lack of Peace Chance Will Be Decisive By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 13.—While Sum- ner Welles was winding up his talks with British leaders today, the Lon- don Daily Mail declared that the President’s decision on a third term depends on Mr. Welles’ report. “If there were a chance of pro- ducing a plan for peace parleys in Europe and eventually a world con- ference of all nations, President Roosevelt would be ready to throw his weight into the balance and then retire from the White House in autumn at the end of his second term,” the editorial said. “But should there be no peace Joophole revealed by Mr. Sumner Welles’ report and the war develops into a fierce European struggle, Presldent Roosevelt will certainly run for a third term.” The newspaper added that the American Undersecretary of State, here after talks in Rome, Berlin and Paris, had “so far found no founda- tion on which the slightest peace plan could be constructed.” Mr. Welles talked for an hour to- day with Cavid Lloyd George, World War Prime Minister, and had other | appointments with Australian High Commissioner Stanley M. Bruce, Laborite James Maxton and Do- minions Secretary Anthony Eden. He had engagements for luncheon at the United States Embassy with Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy and his staff and for dinner at No. 10 Downing street, Prime Minister Chamberlain’s residence. Mr. Welles will leave for home to- morrow, traveling by way of Rome, where a final conference with Premier Mussolini is in prospect. Construction Blaze Ties Up Traffic A fire in the sub-basement of the | Lafayette Building, now under con- struction at Fifteenth and I streets N.W., caused a traffic tie-up in the| area late yesterday. The fire destroyed five wooden sheds in the basement in which were stored construction materials. No estimate of the damage could be ob- tained. Dense smoke poured from the building, spreading over nearby streets. Firemen wore gas masks to get near the source of the smoke. Hundreds of home-bound workers were attracted to the scence and vehicular traffic was jammed before police reinforcements could reach the scene. new-looking longer with gen- tie new, quick Lux!

Bolsheviks From Capifal By the Associated Press. BOSTON, March 13 —Frank Gan- nett, Rochester, N. Y., publisher and candidate for the Republican presi- dential nomination, said last nignt that if he were President he “would drive out of Washington every Bolshevik and pink who doesn't believe in our form of government.” “The roads from Washington,” he added, “would be so crowded it would look like Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow.” Mr. Gannett, in an address before a rally jointly sponsored by the Men's and Women's Clubs of Massachusetts, also said he would favor “a constitutional Gannett Says He'd Drive g Republican | First Graders Taken on Tour Of Train at Uni “Look at them big wheels!” They were on a steam locomotive at Union Station and if you don't think it’s a thrill to be almost close enough actually to touch those wheels, just remember back to when you were 6 years old. That treat came yesterday for 47 first graders of the Job Barnard Elementary School and when they left the station, they were just about unanimous in where they would spend the rest of their lives—looking out that little cab as the glistening rails slip beneath them. They saw more than engines, how- ever. They “ahed” and “ohed” at every interesting step that makes up railroad transportation. Twenty- four of them had never been on a train before.
