Favored by Churchman
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
George w. Robinett Of Chicago,
executive secretary of the Church
League of America, said today he
had consulted many church leaders
and that they almost unanimously"
favored limitation Of the time man
may serve as President Of the United
States.
Mr.. Robinett testified at a Senate
subcommittee hearing on a pro-
posed constitutional amendment
limiting the tenure of the President
to a single six-year term. A letter
from Senator Glass, Democrat, Of
Virginia saying he was utterly op-
posed to a third term for any Presi-
dent" went into the committee
record.
Another witness, Mrs w. Selden
Washington of Alexandria, Va, said
the reason George Washington re-
fused a third term was that he was
not egotistical" enough to believe
he was indispensable. Mrs. Wash
ington said her husband was a direct
descendant of Augustine Washing
ton, brother of the first President.

Selective Service Administration.
Appreciate also that your State has
gone far in its planning for man
power procurement. And that your
adjutant general and State staff
are well organized to assist In carry
ing out the present requirements.
II request you to carry out the
registration within your State and
to call upon your local election off,
cials and other patriotic citizens,
to serve on the registration boards
and in all other ways to assist in
making the registration full and
complete.
Copy of Proclamation Inclosed.
Enclosed is copy of the procla-
nation fixing Wednesday, October
16, at the day for registration with
in the continental United States,
and setting forth in a general way
instructions for registration. hope
you will find it desirable to issue a
similar proclamation urging the
fullest cooperation within your
State. 1t should be made abund-
antly clear to the public that the
act of registration consists in effect
of merely listing the names and ad-
dresses of registrants.
After registration, the classifica-
ton and selection of men will be
handled by the local boards. 1t is
all-important that the local boards
be composed of men in whom the
community has greatest confidence.
Membership on local board should
be considered a position of honor
and trust. I feel certain that many
thousands Of our most able and
patriotic citizens will offer their
services for this duty.
Il ask that you recommend to me
with the greatest expedition the
names of citizens whose loyalty, in
tegrity and fair -mindedness, are be-
yond question, for members of the
local boards and boards of appeal,
and for the Offices of Government
appeal agents and examining physi-
clans. 1 ask that you yourself ap-
point the advisory boards for reg
istration and medical advisory
boards.
Since so many of our young
men will be asked to devote a year
of their lives to the service of
their country, I feel certain that
others of our citizens will wish to
make their contribution to the ma
tional defense by devoting part of
their time to these various duties.
1t is not contemplated lIlat COM

pensation be paid, except for the
necessary clerical assistance.
Il suggest you make the fullest
use of all State and local officers
and employees. I believe you will
find your State Employment Serv-
ice and the public welfare agencies
particularly helpful to the local
boards.
The Congress has made its his
toric decision after careful con-
sideration and full debate. The
procurement at training of our
manpower, unoer proper admins
tration, fairly and without fear or
favor, is undoubtedly the most i'm
portant single factor in our entire
program of national defense. l ask
your every help"
