and Judge Hobart Newman i'm
posed it.
Firemen answered call to the

and found a 55-gallon drum, 20
gallon drum and 5-gallon can filled

The Office of John Russell Young,

announced today that all permits
for business establishments to light
up at night will be revoked and
new ones will be issued only to
those which can give assurance that
an employe always will be on hand
to extinguish the lights in case of
an air raid.
The move followed sharp criti-

black out properly during Mondays

Director James M. Lands of the
Office of Civilian Defense.
Wardens Monday night found
many a store window lighted, but

Martin Calls for Ban
On Federal Jobs for
Losing Candidates =.
House, Senate Members.
Would Be Covered for I've
Years After Last Race

A ban on appointing Senate
and House members or candi-
dates to Federal Office within two
years of the date of their last
candidacy was proposed in bill
introduced today by House
Minority Leader Martin. Mr..
Martin offered his measure as an
amendment to the Hatch Act.
II have received complaints from
different sections of the country
that men have been urged to run
for Congress with the promise of a
full campaign chest and an appoint
ment in the event their candidacy
was unsuccessful" said Mr.. Martin.
This, of course. Is all wrong and
contrary to the spirit of clean, fair
politics.
Expects Popular Support.
II cannot say whether these COM
plants are true or not. OF course,
promises of this sort are a distinct
violation of the spirit of free cleo
tions, although it admittedly is diff
cult to prove the violation.
THE amendment have proposed
would prevent any such condition.
Furthermore, it would prevent the
appointment of members of Con-
gress to Federal jobs during their
service in Congress.
II believe the reform of the elec-
ton laws which I seek will meet
with popular support"
Would Hit Sitting Members.
The effect of Mr.. Martins pro-
posal would be far reaching. II
would prevent the appointment OF
sitting members of Congress to Fed
eral Office for two years after they
had been candidates last. Also, if a
member ran for reelection and
failed, he could not be appointed to
Federal office for two years. This
would hit the extensive practice of
giving lame duck" members of
Congress important Federal jobs.
Appointments to well-paid jobs, it
has been charged, have been the
means of lining up votes on impor-
tant and closely contested legisla-
ton. The Martin bill would make
that practice impossible.
To force compliance, the bill pro-
vides that no money appropriated
by Congress shall be used to pay the
salaries of any candidates for Con-
gress who may be appointed to
Federal Office or employed by the
Federal Government.

Supreme Staff Hinted
In Leahy Appointment
AsPresident's Aide
Admiral Named to Help
Direct War Strategy as
Shipping Crisis Grows
B, The Associated Press.

Bluff, outspoken Admiral Will
liam D. Leahy became President
Roosevelt's chief of staff today
amid disclosures of grave crisis
on the Russian front and in the
shipping situation and of sharp
ening warfare off Alaska.
There was immediate speculation
that the President would create a
supreme Army-Navv general staff
about the sailor and diplomat, who
listens long and talks short and who
represented at Vichy America S
friendship for broken France.
Soviet Ambassador Maxim Litvinof1
and members of the Pacific War
Council went to the White House for
separate conference today as both
Stalingrad and Rostov were imperiled
by new German advances.
When Litvinoff came out of the
White House he replied with a mo
to questions about whether he and
the President discussed the pos
sibility of second front in Europe.
Litvinoff for many months has
publicly advocated an invasion OF
Western Europe to relieve German
pressure on the Russian front.
More Jap Destroyers Sunk.
Mr.. Roosevelt announced Admiral
Leahy's appointment late yesterday
and said the admiral would assume
his duties Immediately. Confront

port by the War Shipping Admins
tration that shipping losses during

nounced the sinking of three more

States submarines in the vicinity of

by Mr.. Roosevelt, have for weeks
been waging a contest to prevent Mr.

that has been going on behind the
scenes to wrest control Of the New

yesterday.
The Senator's statement was re-
ply, too, to letter sent him by an
influential group of New Dealers
from New York, headed by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthaus
father, requesting that he become q
candidate.
In his letter to Senator Wagner,
Senator Mead said:
''It is just impossible for me to
express the gratitude that is in my
heart for the high degree of conf
dence you have in me.
IT have received many requests
from men and women as we'll as
from organizations representing all
walks of life and every section of
our State urging my candidacy. Up
until now, I have resisted every ap-
peal to become candidate: hoped
I might not be called upon to run

realize that I must not permit my
personal wishes and my personal
preferences to stand in the way OF
rendering public service to the
people Of my State and of my
country.
Hopes for Harmony.
If should become the candidate
OF my party, I ask for no special
consideration from either the ma
tional or State committees except
that they encourage the delegates
in the free exercise Of their right tc
represent the people back home.
/ insist only upon one condition, and
that is that I be the candidate of
the rank and file of the party and
that the delegates express their
choice without undue influence.
Such freedom of action on the part
of the delegates will result in no
embarrassing attachments and the
candidate nominated will continue
to enjoy the independence exercised
by the last three great Democratic
Governors.
"The election of the delegates, the
organization of the convention, the
drafting OF the platform and the
nomination of candidates should be
accomplished without pickering
strife or dissension. Again I want to
express the hope that a harmonious
program and workable plan for the
convention will result from an old
fashioned get-together conference.

Action Seen
Need for New Lows
Topic at White House;
Message in Doubt

A conference of congressional
leaders with President Roosevelt
today raised the possibility that
the President may make new
moves to control the cost of liv-
ing through executive action
rather than by asking Congress
for additional legislation.
Mr.. Roosevelt told a press confer
ence late yesterday that he hoped
to send a special message to Con-
gress in the next few days on the
cost of living problem, but Senate
Majority Leader Barkley said on
leaving the White House this morn
ing that it still is not certain that
the message will be forthcoming.
I'VE discussed the whole ques-
ton of the cost of living" Senator
Barkley told reporters, land the
Presidents present powers and what
powers he may need are being
looked into
He added that Mr.. Roosevelt
would give the problem further
consideration before deciding
whether to ask for new legislation.
All Factors Discussed.
Asked If the discussion involved
the advisability of establishing ad-
ditional governmental control over
wages, Senator Barkley said it con-
cerned all the factors entering into
the cost of living.
He explained that the study un-
der way concerned the extent of
the Presidents powers to keep down
the cost of living through wage
and price curbs.
He said the question of a con-
gressional recess was not discussed
with the President but that per-
sonally he believed a formal recess
was "out of the window"
In addition to Senator Barkley,
those comforting with Mr.. Roose-
Velt for neary two hours at the
White House included Vice Presi-
dent Wallace, Speaker Rayburn and
House Majority Leader Mccormack.
Wont Ask Wage Freezing.
The President replied with fiat no
when asked at press conference
yesterday whether he intended to
freeze wages" and advised his ques-
toner to wait for the message
when asked If he intended to sug-
gest that Congress take that step
Mr.. Roosevelt would say only that
the contemplated message would &c
into the cost of living which he de.
scribed as the principal domestic
problem in carrying on the war.
Anxious to know whether II
could actually take long sought
formel recess, or remain technically
on duty while committee studied
the Presidents suggestions, Con-
gress adopted a wait and see" at
titude. However, many members
had slipped away quietly from the
capital.
While hesitating to comment in
advance of the message, some Sen
ators end House members said pri-
vately that the basic Price Control
Act had proven deficient because
it omitted wage control and did not
regulate adequately the top prices OF
farm products. Others said that,
especially in congressional CAM
paign year, it would be difficult to
control wages or, perhaps, even
arrive at an agreement on the broad
term of "stabilization.
Pay Curb Held Necessary.
Senator Russell, Democrat, Of
Georgia expressed the sentiments Of
many when he said that full price
regulation was virtually impossible
without control of wages. He said
