RESOLUTION ON
 THIRD TERM IN

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 7-(UP)-- A resolution favoring a constitu- tional amendment to continue Pres ident Roosevelt in office during the present International crisis" was pigeon-holed in the city Councils finance committee today.
 The resolution was presented last night by Councillor Michael A. Sul- nvan who authored last months or- der, pocket-vetoed by the mayor, to ban from Cambridge all printed matter containing the names 'Le- min" and "Leningrad."
 The new resolution would peti- tion Congress to amend the consti- tuition to bar c national election this year because "the best interests and future of our country demand the continuance of these same po- licies of President Roosevelt at the most critical time in the history of the world"

of $30.00 from the Lithuanian Liter- ary League made possible the pur- chase of about 20 books of Lithuan- ian folklore studies. These books were purchased for the Library at the Lithuanian Pavilion at the Worlds Fair. The Library is greatly indebt- ed to one of its own board members, MT. Charles H. Swenson. for a gift of books on Sweden and the Scan- dinavian countries, including a few recent books on Finland. Except for this gift it would have met but poorly the almost overnight demand for books on Finland.
 Since the original bequest of Silas Bronson in 1867, the Library has benefited only occasionally through gifts or bequests. An er- roneous belief that 1t was very well situated financially existed for many years. This was actually the case for perhaps 25 years years after its en- dowment by Silas Bronson, at which time the population of Waterbury numbered 13,000. Tn 1889 the esti- mated income from all invested funds, supplemented by the City appropriation, permitted per cap- ita expenditure of but 56 cents. A per capita expenditure of $1.OO is recommended for adequate library service for city of 100000 popula- tion.
 Improvements
 WPA projects were also written for the redecoration of Watervil1e and Rose Hill branches and for the complete remodelling of Brooklyn branch. Waterville branch, the smallest of these projects, was con- pleted during the summer of 1889. The redecoration of Rose Hill branch and the pointing of all out side brick is outlined for 194O. It is expected that Brooklyn branch will be ready for occupancy by the first of April. The remodelled build- ing is to provide on its first floor, good sized room for adults, a lecture, exhibit or study room, a staff rest room and a work room. On the second floor will be a large children'S room and 8 story hour room. This branch, inadequately housed as it was for a great many years in room 20x30 feet in size, had become so poor an example of a branch library that the people of the community scorned to use it. It had, in the past, circulated 5000 books per year. This fact alone was an indication of the serv- ice, which could be rendered with better facilities to the adults, ever increasing numbers of high school people and children of the com munity. The contemplated opening of this remodelled branch on April lst will mark the roth anniversary of the first opening of the Bronson

GARNER CASTS
 SENATE VOTE
Breaks 34-34 Deadlock on Cut in ApprOpria-
 tiOnS Bill
By RONALD G. VAN TINE

Washington, Feb. 7.-(UP)-Vice President John N. Garner, explain ing his first vote in the senate in nearly six years, told friends today that whenever there is an opportun- ity he will support any move to trim government appropriations. Garner broke a 34 to 34 tie in the senate yesterday on an amendment to the independent offices appro- priation bill to cut $115, ,259 from the civil aeronautics authority. He vot- ed for the amendment, and later told senators:
 When 1t comes to a vote to re- duce appropriations, vote Aye. When 1t comes to vote to increase appropriations, I vote No"
 The vote immediately was inter preted here as vote against the president. In presenting his budget for 1941, MT. Roosevelt described it as bedrock" and since then has warned congress that he could not assume responsibility for results ii it cuts appropriations under his rec concentrations. Both the house ano the senate have disregarded that warning, however.
 The senate faces another close vote today on an amendment to cut CAA's maintenance and operation fund from $12,O00,000 to $11, ,00O,0 ,0O0 Sens. Pat McCarran, D., New, and Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo-, are lead ing a fight for restoration of the $l, ,000, ,000. An informal poll showed that tie might develop on the amendment, and Garner might be called upon again to give pust to a economy drive that has devel- oped since the present session of congress began.
 Thus far, the senate has sustained all reductions made in the inde- pendent offices bill by its appropria. tionS committee. The committee trimmed the bill $56,010,945 below budget estimates, but recommended a figure $38,506,261 above that ap- proved by the house.
 After Garner cast the decisive vote on the $115, 5,259 CAA reduction the senate, by vote of 39 to 30 approved a $50000 reduction in the CAA's economic regulation fund.

tical manner show regard for Nor wegian life and property and re- frain from the brutal attitude hith- erto shown toward Norwegian sailors on Norwegian ships going about legal trade.
 "An assurance of another attitude by the German navy toward Nor wegian shipping in general and Norwegian lives especially should be asked. But above all 1t should be asked before any agreement is made regarding future deliveries of any kind of goods from this country to Germany"
 The Oslo newspaper Sjofarstidende said that the first principle of Nor wegian foreign policy ought to be collaboration with Sweden.
 Voelkischer Beobachter, the off, ciayl Naz newspaper organ, com- plained yesterday that in reporting Saturdays airplane battles of the British coast the openhagen press had given prominence to the loss of three German planes but put stories of the "annihilating storke of Ger man arms" on inside pages. The Nazi organ warned that the Nazis would watch" the future attitude of the Danish press land reserve final judgment until we are con- vinced there is no doubt as to the motives behind this attitude"
 This expression of Danish public opinion was read in connection with the fact that the biggest queue of people ever formed in Copenhagen. according to the press, was formed yesterday by 4,O00 workers who presented themselves for enlistment in a voluntary civilian workers corps for service in Finland. Yester- day was the first day for enlistment. The result was totally unexpected. During the day 1,450 of the appli- cants were accepted and the office instead of closing at 4 p. m. stayed open all evening. Two hundred more volunteers received card for exam nation today and the remainder will be interviewed as rapidly as possible.

 "There are degrees of sincerity"
 He disclosed that he was 'em- phasizing" to Russia the importance of ceasing assistance to China.
 Arita told another queStioner that it would be difficult to declare a war against the Chinese government and at the same time recognize the regime which Japan proposes to set up in occupied territory.
 Earlier Admiral Yonai had said that Japan was willing to accept Chinese government leaders, even Generalissimo Chang -Shek, into this regime.

Department of commerce would be lots happier if people would stop raising submarine scares in the Caribbean and South Atlantic.
 Ever since the war started, the department has been trying to pro- mote U. s. tourist travel to Latin America. First FDR stymied it, by talking about mysterious submarines among the islands. Now, with trade just building up nicely, the same story is going the round again.
 This time the White House was quick to announce that everything was okay, but the scare caused plenty of steamship cancellations just the same.

PROTEST TREATMENT

 James Dignan, state commander of the I. R., A. veterans, said:
 During our 1918-21 struggle against the terroristic British Black and Tans' in Ireland, we captured many Englishmen- implicated in bomb plots against the Irish peo- pie. Not one of these men was hanged. All were given decent treatment as prisoners of war. If England takes the lives of these two men, reprisals are sure to follow"
 He said Barnes and Richards were ''rightfully prisoners of war and should have been treated accord- ingly."

 It is almost exactly the same size and the engraved face is good likeness of the face on the dime. The principal difference is that it says march of dimes" instead of "Liberty-In God We Trust-1939." !" CARTOONIST'S NICKEL
 STIRS SECRET SERVICE
 Don't think the Secret Service is ordinarily indifferent about such matters.
 A few years ago. when a world series between the Yankees and the Giants impended, a sports ar- tist drew a cartoon on the nickel world series" theme. He decorated it with @ likeness of an Indian head niclsel.
 The head was outsize, and wasn't too close in its resemblance to a real five-cent piece. But a couple of days later 8 Secret Service man dropped round at the office, read a little lecture, and confiscated the engrav- ing from which the cartoon had been made, together with the orig inal drawing and such proofs, mats and so forth as were on hand.
 Nobody has descended on the mile of dimes people, however, and mo- body is very likely to.
 For one thing, the raising of money to fight infantile paralysis is about as worthy cause as you're apt to find. For another, the sec- tion of the code which prohibits the making of such replicas has a little clause stating that this prohibition may be relaxed at the discretion oi responsible treasury officials.
