WASHINGTON. - Senator Burke,
the Nebraska Democrat, has come
forward with a proposition fixing the
term Of the President Of the United
States at six years and limiting the
individual to one term. II Is not a
new proposition. It has been sug-
gested before-as long ago as Presi-
dent Jackson's term-but II takes
on new significance now. It's new
importance Is not because of Sena-
tor Burke's declared intention to

Effort 10 Restore Party
To Old-Line Democrats

There Is, beside all of these fac
tors, the differences within the party
Of which Mr.. Roosevelt Is the titular
head. ] believe that the Democratic
party machinery was completely
taken over by the radical wing, and
so now there Is definite effort I'M
der 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 Sem
ator Harrison and Vice President
Garner, and even Jim Farley, do
not like to see those other fellows
in position Of responsibility. They
believe in the Democratic party for
Democrats.
So, 1t Is quite apparent that the
struggle for party control is a rough
and tumble fight from now on, be-
cause there is convention of the
party to be held in 1910, and 1t is
not too early to line up delegates.
We're 1t not for the battle ahead and
the desire Of those surrounding Mr..
Roosevelt to keep on with his re-
forms-and the jobs--Mr. Roosevelt
would control the 1910 convention.
His declarations Of a purge of the
party" has made it impossible for
him to control the convention with
out fight. That is to say, he will
be unable to pick the 1910 nominee
Ito carry out his plans) without a
battle.

Aviation

Since its birth shortly after the
World war, U. S. commercial avia-
ton has been bounced back and
forth by a dozen government agen-
cies, has suffered from repudiated
agreements and constantly chang
ing administration. Worst low was
the governments reputation Of air
mail contracts five years ago, an
experiment that ended in headaches
for all.
Last winter congress established
q Civil Aeronautics authority to
manage commercial aviation per-
manently and sensibly. Its job: To
administer air mail contracts, SUI
pervise commercial air lines and
private fiers and study aviation
safety.
Last week the new authority took
over its job, two weeks before the
act goes into effect. As Chairman
Elmer J. Noble of Greenwich, Conn.,,
walked into his Office for the first
time he hoped to regulate avia-
ton as successfully as another pol
icy-forming board, the Interstate
Commerce commission, has super
vised railroading.

II Franklin Roosevelt ever
planned to purge" his Democratic
party of undesirables, he now knows
the purge has failed. On the presi-
DENTAL black list may have been
Iowa's Gillette, Nevada's McCarran,
iColorado's Adams, and Missourfs
Clark. BY last week these New Deal
haters were either renorninated or
assured of winning their state pri-
maries at the expense Of administra-
ton favorites.
News Of purge failure has recent
ly sent the most dour conservative
into ecstasies. For once, 1t appears,
Franklin Roosevelt's domination
over the party is at ebb tide. But
last week a few foes began thinking
instead of effervescing:
Is purge failure helping unfangle
badly twisted United States political
lines? Decidedly the contrary. Is
purge failure eliminating Franklin
Roosevelt as third termer? Prob
ably not.
Originally the purge idea sought
to transform the Democrat party
into an instrument of coherent lib
eralism, implying formation OF an
equally coherent conservative party
on the other side. But when con-
gress convenes next winter the Unit
ed States will see instead hodge
podge of multi-colored political
thought from which little but bicker-
ing can be expected.
Deeply tanned from his Today
fishing trip to tropical Pacific wa
tiers, Franklin Roosevelt was back
in his 48 states last week, still mum
about third term runors that have
kept newsmen busy since he left.
OF all rumors, most thought-provok-
ing was that purge failure robs the
President Of party control, robs him
also of the right to name d success
sor in 1910. Not willing to be robbed,
enthusiastic New Dealer Roosevelt
would rather run himself than pass
the mantle to a less ardent New
Dealer. .-.l... b..
Kentucky
Blue Grass politics was red hot
as Kentucky prepared to choose a
Democratic senator. At jackson,
Former Sheriff Lee Combs and his
brother attended a rally for their
own faction, then walked brazenly
into a rally of opposition forces.
When the smoke cleared, Lee Combs
was shot dead. A few minutes later
his father organized kinfolk to
search for William Combs, who was
no relative but the alleged slayer.
