ONE TERM.
ShipStead Plans Limit
For Presidency

u.NSD In joining the mo- T.
ment in the Senate today to- a
resolution frowning upon tllrd
terms for Presidents, Senator Hen
Xix Shipstead, Minnesota Farmer,
Laborite, advocated a ConStltu-
tlonal amendment to limit the
Chief Executive to one term of
seven years.
The coalition of executive
and congressional power" he
said, has become a national
racket. 1t is contrary to our
system of government, which
calls for complete independence
of the legislative, executive and
judicial branches of the Gov
eminent"
Shipstead proposed that the
President be elected in years when
members of Congress are not
elected. By having a seven-year
term for the President, he would
be elected in odd years, whereas
candidates for Congress would be
elected in even years.
Notice was given by Senator
Edward R. Burke CDD, of Ne
braska, that he would introduce
on the opening day of the new
Congress a constitutional amend
ment to provide for a six-year
term for Presidents, with a pro
hlbitlon against reflections.

Danish Physician Tells
Of Synthetic Creation

COPENHAGEN. Dec 81 I'm.
S.. - Radio,activated chemical
elements. useful as a cheaper
substitute for pure radium in
the treatmeCt of various illnesses.
have been produced by Prof
Niels Bohr noted Nobel prize
winning Danish physicist in his
CopenhageN Institute
Use of 4 nuge cyclotrone. built
from model> designed by Ernest
Orlando Lawrence. physics pro,
lessor at the University of Cali
fornia permitted Bohr to carry
out the scientifically significant
experiments leading to the syn
thetic creation of radium subSti
tutes.
TESTS EXPLAINED
A series of intricate expert
ments. based on splitting the
atomic content of various cheml
cal elements has shown that the
energy released by the atom!1
distintegratl0n can make these
clements temporarily radioactive.
The experiments. it was learned.
we're greatly facilitated by the use
of Prof. Lawrence's cvclotrone.
This is an enormous mechanism
containing a Acton electro-magnet
which has permitted the Danish
scientist literally to tear apart in
finitely tiny particles of matter.
Prof. Bohr denies that he is try
ing to produce artificial radium.
His experiments have resulted,
however. it was learned. in produc-
ing a quantity of radio-activated
material corresponding in its
power of emanation to about one
kilogram of pure radium.
COST FAR LESS
The important difference be-
tween pure radium and the syn
h etic ally radio-activated sub
stance, it was pointed out, is that
the power of the latter is not per
manent.
Whereas radium gives off it's
ray almost Indefinitely. the mate
rial produced by Prof. Bohr re-
tains its power from a few min
utes to about two weeks, depend
ing on the material subjected to
the action of the cyclotrone and
the length of treatment.
Scientists here asserted that the
synthetically created radioactive
material might be extremely use
full as a substitute for pure radium
in the treatment of certain i'll
nesses. The substitute, it was
said, can be produced at cost
far less than that of pure radium.
