Burke To Ask Bon On 3rd Term
Proposes 6-Year Service in White House in Place of

Senate that no President should
be reelected for a third term.
Senator Holt CD of West Vir-
GINA has indicated he would offer
such resolution.
COOLIDGE RESOLUTION
When there was talk in 1928 of
President Coolidge running for
what some called third term and
others a second term, he having
succeeded to the presidency on
the death of President Harding,
Senator Bob La Toilette (P.) of
Wisconsin succeeded in having
the Senate adopt a resolution
frowning upon the third-term
suggestion.
BY vote of Sc to 26, the Sen
ate of February 8, 1928, adopted
the following resolution:

UN.S) Entering the contro-
versy over a third term for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Edward
r. Burke, Nebraska Democrat, to-
day served notice he will offer a
constitutional amendment to for
bid any President from serving
more than one term of six years.
The amendment will be worded
so as not to prevent President
Roosevelt from completing his
present second term, should the
proposition be ratified by three
fourths of the States before 1941,
thus making it law.

FROM THE BEGINNING of

IRON THE BEGINNING of
Il time up to now, Govern
ment officials have been suffer
ing land not very quietly, about
the inaccuracies of the press.
Official heads have always been
bowed down in martyrdom be-
cause reporters do not write it
straight the way they want it.
Now the press is beginning to
complain about the inaccuracies
of officials. The martyrs crown
is due for a transfer. Latest
indication:
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press
conference he wanted armament
increases on a pay-aS-u-go basis,
but said pay-as-he-goes does not
mean paying the same year or
more taxes. He intimated d.
rectly he expected enough re-
turns from self.liquidating prof.
ects to pay the armament
freight.
This left newsmen somewhat
dizzy. They got dizzier when
they found the total of self
liquidating projects outstanding
in public works is 81 million
dollars from which practically
no returns are expected next
year. They could not figure out
how anyone could finance a 500
million dollar armament in
crease, over the one billion dol
lars being spent this year, with
the income from 81 million dol
lars.
Newsn1en Still Muddled
APP RENTLY this pay-as-u-
"A go without paying until you
have gone, if at all, sounded a
bit complicated all around.
Stephen T. Early, White House
press secretary, who has sue
cessfully cleared up everything
so far, set out to make this one
simple.
He issued a statement saying
that what the President meant
was that national defense (ap-'
parently the whole one and one
half billion dollars) should be
paid for year by year, but this
did not mean there would be in
creased taxes. "Other compen-
sating budget adjustments"
might be made (no mention Of
self-liquidating projects or
WHAT.
Anyway, said Clarifier Early.
the President has not yet even
decided whether he is going to
have an ornaments program.
This may have Strengthened
1t out for Mr.. Early and Mr..
Roosevelt. but certainly not for
the usually inaccurate press.

This had been going on for six
months. Oddly enough the item
that started the last minute rush
was an article published in a New
York city newspaper. The basis of
the article was a statement by an
official of the Chicago Teachers
Federation, reputed to be an or
ganization of great political
strength.
LIVES OUTSIDE CITY
The Chicago mayoralty term is
four years. Friends of Secretary
Ickes, who felt that he had White
House ambitions, have believed he
could do a good job in Chicago,
somewhat like LaGuardia in New
York, and that he would be good
Midwest timber for the Presi-
dency. But Ickes has never given
the slightest indication of wanting
to be a presidential candidate as
long as President Roosevelt is
available. It might be that these
long-term planners are forecaSting
1ckes for President in 1914.
Secretary Ickes does not live in
Chicago. but in Winnetka. a Chi
cago suburb. but separate munic-
ipality. There is difference of
opinion as to whether or not he
could legally run for mayor. One
opinion is that he can legally take
office as mayor, but in any event
if he runs there will be plenty Of

letters with a few question
marks behind it.
There is obviously a deep
seated conviction in Treasury
that a specific ornaments tax
should be enacted. People
would cheerfully give this addi-
tional donation if they knew it

about it7
But let me tell you about the cruise thus
far. Had lot Of bad luck getting away
from Miami bought the boat, she's ketch-
rugged, up in Boston between my last two
pictures-"The Adventures Of Robin Hood"
and "Four's Crowd"
Had her commissioned and sailed down
the coast to Miami by the crew. Met her
there and discovered she was leaking badly.
She'd battled severe gale off Cape Fear
on the way down from Boston. There was
nothing to do but haul her out and seal her
up. But it wasn't easy as all that. She
was up on the ways four days.
But that was only the beginning Of our
trouble We finally got away from the
Royal Palm Yacht Club at Miami on the
twenty-seventh of March. Halfway across
the Gulf Stream, en- route to Cat Cay in the
Bahamas, a northeaster blew up and soon
we were riding out a near-gale that piled
up waves 20 and 30 feet high.
We were wet from stem to stern and when
we finally reached Cat Cay we found to our
dismay that we couldn't get into the harbor
on account of the storm. So there was moth.
ing to do but return to Miami.
The weather held us there for 10 days and
on our second attempt to cross the wind
carried away our mainsail. Back to Miami
we travelled for new sail. Next day we
finally made it across.
We-Mrs. Flynn, friend and myself
spent 10 days at fascinating Cat Cay, fish
ing for giant marlin, mako shark and for
giant rays with bow and arrow. got one
ray on my first try with the special steel
arrows had made up at the studio.
They are like any other arrows, except
that a steel leader is attached to the head
and regular line to the leader. After har-
pooning the fish with the arrow, you play
it with rod and reel like any other fish.
The weather defeated US again on our first
attempt to sail from Cat Cay to Havana, but
we finally made it and here we are. Don't
know yet how long we'll stay, but it will not
be longer than a week. From here, as l said,
we'll cruise around the end Of Cuba to the
Isle Of Pines and Kingston. From Kingston
well, I'll know better where we 60 from
there after we get there.
Eventually, though hope, we'll get to
Panama. I'll probably fly back to Holly
wood from there and let the crew take the
boat up the West Coast to California.

can make it down this way, we'll welcome
you with open arms. If not, let's see you out

SKI C0MkENT

As a result of the new snow that fell Sunday morning, @ small group of optimistic skiers who toted their skis to the small steep meadows at the top of the new ski trail found fine skiing on powder snow five inches deep, on top of hard base.
 Some of the comments on the trail were interesting. On the way up. certain Skiers were heard to remark that it was the worst trail they had ever seen, and on the way down, after several hours of fast controlled skiing among the clumps of trees above the trail, those same skiers were heard to say that they could hardly wait for enough snow to come, so they might ski the new trail as much as pos sible.
 The outstanding features of the trail are that it has hairpin bends, is steep with no cross country sec tions, is all cut on a side-hill in- stead of being laid out in such q manner that skis would run flat on the sEow-surface. This is ex- actly the opposite of the old ski trail, which is laid out to give long, almost straight runs, and which has several short level stretches, and which has a flat bottom for the skis to ride on.
 Several skiers seem to be shap- ing up above the average Ralph Moreau seems a good bet to win the downhill which will be held on the new trail later in the season. H. Mckinley will probably surprise

Believed to have hidden in the store at closing time Saturday, a thief robbed the cash register of the Sanitary -Piggly Wiggly grocery gro- cery store during the week end and made good his escape, according to police today. Store Manager w. O. Johnson discovered the theft when he opened up this morning. About S5 in small change was taken. The thief also had helped himself to can of sardines which he had eaten in the store.
 According to police officers and deputy marshals, who made an in- vestigat ton, there was indication that the back door had been broken open from the inside, pointing to the theory that the culprit had been in the store when it was locked up.

 Tn addition to being bad influ- ence. many of these punchboards which offer elaborate prizes are in direct competition with legitimate licensed business houses of the city, he stated.
