COP Urges Passage Of
An&i-4th Term Measure

WASHINGTON. April u up
Republican charges that President
Roosevelt wants denomination in
1914 promised today to encourage
hesitant congressman to take a
chance on an anti-fourth term
resolution.
There are house and senate pre-
cedents for that.
Chairman Harrison E. Spangler
of the Republican National COM
mittee, in an open letter to his op-
posite Democratic number Chair
man Frank c. Walker, said the
country believed Mr.. Roosevelt and
the Democratic committee were
conducting a fourth term campaign.
Spangler said the alleged campaign
was hindering the war effort and
that unless it was disavowed the
country would be confronted by the
longest and most intensive presi-

RECALLS SUGGESTION

RECALLS SUGGESTION
Recalling Walkers recent sug-
gestion that the 1914 campaign be
short one, Spangler offered To
make short campaign agreement
provided that the Democratic COM
mittee chairman would assure the
country that Mr.. Roosevelt will
lot under any circumstances accept
nomination for fourth term
Spangler cited the statements oil
New Deal leaders prior to the l940
Democratic National convention
endorsing Mr.. Roosevelt and re-
marked that similar statements
were being made now, in some IN
stances by the same men.
KEPT IN DARK
Then as now." Spangler wrote,
mot only the country but your
party was kept in the dark as to
his ambitions for a third term.
Then, as now, the suggestion at
press conferences of third term
was met with smiles and evasions.' =
1t is part of the record, now,
that Mr.. Roosevelt did not tell
former Democratic National Com
mittee Chairman James A. Farley
that he was a third term candi-
date until the week before the
nominating convention met III
July. 1910.
There is not even remote pos
sibility that Walker will be able to
give Spangler any assurances on
The fourth term question. What
ever Mr.. Roosevelt's intentions may
be, it is generally recognized that
he probably would take the posi-
ton that to eliminate himself from
the race would weaken his position
in conducting our relations with
foreign governments, most of which
involve commitments extending
beyond the end of his present
term.
There is precedent for such

SECOND REQUEST
The Republican demands for i'm
mediate action on the pay-aS-you-
go issue conceded with President
Roosey elt'S second request within
a week for new tax legislation.
The Presidents new tax request
was based on plea for equality
and sacrifice and was contained
in his protest against congressional
action which attached a rider on
the national debt limit bill to re-
peal his $4,000 limit on net war
time salaries.
Mr. Roosevelt permitted the debt
limit bill. raising the legal debt
limit from S125 900. 900 900 to S210.-
00,000000, become law unsigned at
midnight Saturday, 10 days after it
arrived at the White House. The
rider not only repealed his salary
limit order but specifically pro-
hibited him from reducing salaries
below the highest levels prevailing
between Jan. ! and Sept. Is, 1912.

Wickard Testifies
Against Pace Bill

WASHINGTON, Tpril u. up
Secretary of Agriculture Claude R

enactment of the Pace bill to in
clude farm labor costs in parity
computations would start an infla-
tionary spiral, the result of which
it is impossible to even estimate ="
Testifying before the senate agri-
culture committee on the house

bills passage would result in ID
per cent increase in parity and
work harm to all classes, particu-
larly to farm people.
He estimated that the bill would
result in an increase of 10 per
cent in food costs within u TO Is

ADAK, July Delayed Six American fliers are congratulating themselves for a rare extra lease on life obtained after Kiska's guns riddled a Mitchell bomber, forcing them down in the frigid water less than two miles from the enemy occupied shore.
 The six were given virtual death sentence when their plane was hit by anti-aircraft flax dur ing a mass raid on Kiska and the motor began smoking, then quit The plane nosed into the sea, but so easily that none were injured.
 However all faced death in the water, so cold that man can hardly last more than half-hour The water has claimed probably more lives than Kiskas guns.

Am eriean Troops Enier Sanstetano, 50 Miles
 from Messind

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA. Aug. l.-Amer- ican troops have captured Sanste- fano to crumple the north flank of the Axis line in Sicily.
 At the same time. the British Eighth Army has really opened up with big push near Catanta.
 And in the air, American Flying Fortresses struck shattering blow against Naples, following up Satur- days ultimatum that Italy quit or be bombed
 Allied warships also entered the picture with bombardments of the lower Italian mainland.
 Sanstefano is the northern anchor of the Axis Mt. Etna line and it's loss to the Yanks threatened to roll the Axis armies back rapidly to the coast of the dwindling enemy Mes sina bridgehead.
 The town is about 60 miles west of Messina.
 Gain Another Anchor
 Meanwhile, Gen. Sir Bernard Law Montgomery's forces gained impor- tant new positions near Catania, the other anchor of the Axis defenses, in series of furious assaults.
 Both the French and German radios admitted these gains.
 Tn the attack on Naples 500- pound bombs were rained on the dock area at Naples and nearby airfield, putting into action the warning by Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover, Commander of the Allied armies, that Italy would be rocked again and again from the air be- cause Badoglios government is giv- ing the Germans time to strengthen defenses.
 Shattering Bombardment
 The Allied warships steamed per- haps at the heightening decisive action, shattering railway communi- cations at the foot of Italy and setting Port Crotone afire.
 American warships shelled enemy land positions in Sicily ahead of the advancing United States Seventh Army This American advance also swept Mistretta, six miles directly south of Sanstefano, as troops of It. Gen. George s. Patton cracked through the defenses.
 Steady Progress
 Steady progress is reported of- ficially all along the Sicilian front.
 The British Eighth Army has re- pelled strong German counter-at- tacks with heavy losses.
 The Canadians are battling ahead in the central area and are engaged in heavy fighting but the advances continued.
 The Americans have taken 10000 more prisoners at Mistretta alone. the majority being Nazis.
