PACIFIC:
No Halt

Though fighting on Okinawa was
as tough as that on Two Jima. re-
suits have been the same, with the
gradual U. S. conquest Of the island
pressing home the immediate dan
ger to Japan proper, 325 miles to
the north.
With Japan already hard hit by
air, the enemy looked for an i'm

Having fought through the maze
Of in~terlocking Jap on Two

an elaboration of the defensive sys-
TENS on these outlying islands.
Though heavily battered after ter
rife aerial and artillery lombard

steady, concentrated U. S. fire from
closeup, plus the gradual exhaus-
ton Of supplies.
Even as U. S. ground troops re-
duced Okinawa with its valuable air
fields for raids upon the enemy
homeland, U. S. fliers were busy
hammering at Jap industrial EN-
ters and supply lines to China.
With the American fleet dominant
in Pacific waters, U. S. aircraft took
off from carriers to plaster enemy
shipping plying between Japan and
Korea. thus forcing the Nipponese to
use a more roundabout route far

or in rough weather.
Harassment of this route came on

the Japanese overwater supply line

possessions, and the Chinese pres

corridor running the length of the
east coast of China.

Martin Would Give
Presidents Congress
Seat After 7 Terms

A constitutional amendment to
limit the President to two terms,
provide him with seat in either
the House or Senate after his re-
tirement and give him an annual
pension of $25, 900 per year was urged
last night in radio broadcast by
House Minority Leader Martin. The
Massachusetts, Representative said
that the amendment should be sub
mitted to the people before the end
of this year.
Nov is the time to put this re-
form into effect" Mr.. Martin said.
'It can be done now in a nom
partisan way when it will have no
effect on the political program Of
any party"
No indispensable" Men.
In an argument reminiscent Of
Republican speeches during the
third and fourth campaigns of the
late President Roosevelt, Mr.. Mar
| tin said that there were no 'in-
dispensable" men.
There are many men in each
generation" he said, qualified and
competent to fill any job in America,
from the presidency down"
By limiting an individuals tenure
as President to eight years, Mr..
Martin said, the administration
would have four years in which
TO formulate its policies and the
people would have sufficient time
to Judge those policies. If the peo-
pie approved the policies, another
four years would be sufficient to
establish" them, he added, and at
the end of the second term the
President would step out of office
with the good will of his fellow
citizens"
Contribution to Government.
Big giving former Presidents a
seat in the Senate or the House
as "elder statesmen" Mr.. Martin
said, Congress could allow them to
make an important contribution
to the Government of their coun-
try"
To guarantee that the declining
years of the life of a President
ARE free from want and insecurity"
Mr.. Martin proposed that Congress
grant them pension of $4,000
annually. This, he contended,
would be in keeping with our
American tradition that a man
in the most modest circumstances
may seek the presidency of his
country and be secure in the knowl-
edge that the country which he has
served will provide for his welfare
after he leaves the Office"

orators in New Orleans, with
few exceptions. There was old
Dan, a carryover from the old
days before teletype when all
AP operators rel telegraphers.
He was not old in years, but in
experience. He piled cigar ash
six inches deep about his ma
chine, and the responsibilities of
his large family sometimes made
him jumpy, but he was a very
wise and reasonable man if you
did not provoke him. And there
was Joe who had almost as
long a service record as Dan,
though he too was still a young
man. Joe was one of the few
operators who actually read
everything he sent, and he had
a remarkable memory. Consider
ing that Joe had sent about
a hundred million words in his
life time, and remembered a good
part of them, his collection of
assorted facts was uneanny. Ar
guing with Joe about a fact
was as futile as arguing with
the World Almanac. He was a
hard man in an argument. But
he was great to have at your
elbow when YOU needed the date
of the Titanic disaster, or the
year of the great beet crop fail

so forth.

ones. But if YOU gave them half
a chance, they were helpful, and
would keep you out of trouble.
Many of these operators had
worked on the same circuit for
years, while the young editors
were constantly being shifted
around, and very often the opeT-
ators knew far more about the
news requirements and idiosyn-
~cracies about the newspapers
and publishers-the AP mem
bers"-along the line than the
editor did. An editor might not
always take an operators adj
vice about whether or not to
send a story, but if he had any
judgment he did not brush such
advice lightly aside. He gave it
consideration. And if he irritat-
ed his operator by his young
smart-alecky ways, the man
might freeze up and become in
deed a part of his machine and
let the young fellow fall into
all kinds of pitfalls without ever
a word of warning or an effort
to help him out.
And there were certain occas-
sions when an editor could help
an operator, but not as many,
or not as directly related to the
job in hand. The best way he
could help was by just being
a reasonable fellow, and not
grabbing when an operator was
