CONGRESS SHOULD LIMIT
PRESIDENTIAL TENURE

Perhaps it is pertinent and proper
that the Republicans in congress have
taken the initiative in proposing that the
presidential ncumbency be limited to
two terms But it is not a partisan mat
ter by any means Now that a resolution
has been presented in the senate by Ore
CONS Republican member, the Democrats
should Join Immediately to help do what
should have been done long time ago.
At this particular time there can be no
charge of politics or partisan interfer-
ence Truman, if elected in 1913, will
serve practically two full terms. He
will come much nearer that goal than
in any previous instance Of similar Ori-
gin. And so there could be charge Of
discrimination However, there never
was the need to await a "propitious
time" There should~have been a statute
to enforce a Well-founded and popular
tradition that no President should serve
more than two terms. And. furthermore,
it clearly was the intent Of the trainers
Of the Constitution that the tenure should
be limited to eight years.
Of course we could keep operating on
tradition if it had not been that the very
evils feared by Washington, jefferson,
jackson and host Of other leaders,
came about when the third and fourth
term elections rolled around in 1910 and
l944 Those elections, and their out
come followed exactly the pattern Of
fear laid down by former Presidents.
Powerful political machines had been
built up. Besides, both elections stirred
up i'll feeling and animosities that en-
dangered national unity. Their scars still
remain In both elections the party in
power could have won with any other
strong candidate
Both campaigns We're conducted on the
false claims that the national unity de
pended upon their success. But victory
was assured, not on that plea but be
cause Of the powerful political machine
which had been built up in the over
tenure period.
1t is fortunate that the new President
is moving swiftly and sincerely to relieve
the tension created by this overriding Of
the traditional belief Of the people and to
cure the i'll feelings that still were rank
ling when he assumed office
Undoubtedly the move to fix by stat
ute the tenure for chief executives will
draw the full and hearty support Of Mr..
Truman.
The resolution introduced by Senator
Morse should be approved and signed
without further delay.

House Committee
Snlothers Bill
On Closed Shop

WASHINGTON, July 13. up
The house veterans committee's s
anti closed shop bill appears to be
| definitely side -tracked-at least
until fall.
A committee member quoted
House Republican Leader joseph
w. Martin of Massachusetts, as
saying the rules committee would
not let the bill come to the floor
before the expected summer re-
cess
And in view Of the adverse mi
nority' report by a majority Of
the veterans committee. the rules
committee may not even approve
it in the fall" the member added.
IN TO STAY
He said he did not know Of any
parliamentary method by which
the bills sponsor Committee
Chairman John E. Rankin d..
Miss-cOuld obtain immediate
house action.
The bill would exempt all vet
Grams from closed shop provisions
Of union contracts. 1t was ap-
proved by the committee last week
but in a minority report II
members of the 21-man committee
indicated that they were opposed
to the measure.
Meanwhile, the veterans COM
mittee approved Series of amend
mentc to liberaliZe the G. I. Bill of
Rights. The bill passed last year
has proved to be too complicated
to administer especially in the loan
provisions.
The committee recommended pas
sage of amendments which mem
bers said would eliminate much of
the red tape that now cOnfuses
veterans. Tie proposed amend
mentS would:
l. Liberalize the loan provisions
tC do away with the necessity Of
having the veterans adminiStra-
ton approve all loans made to
veterans
high-cOst, correspondence courses
under the G. I. bill aG well as col
lege and other academic courses.
3. Increase the SuStenance al
lCwance under the education pro-
vision by $40 a month
Rankin was unsuccessful in try
ing to have the committee approve
his amendment to give a $1O40
grant to every eX-Serviceman -
whether employed or not Under
the present bill, unemployed vet
Grams can get $50 a week assistance
for one year
One committee member empha-
sized that the bonus bill was not
permanently turned down

Mcfarland. member of a senate

hampered both worldwide freedom

He declared that to give up COM

les during the war at the cost Of
millions Of dollars would be "a
colossal blunder for our own in

communications be used at least
temporarily as a basis for a world
wide U. S. communications network.

haven't enough Of their navy to put up a

Short Circuit of Lights On Christmas Tree Blamed for Hartford's Second Worst Fire in Years
VICTIMS ARE ALL ELDERLY

Thomas I. Campbell, believed to be Bloomfield's oldest resident, was carried to safety from fire which destroyed Niles Street Con- valescent Hospital Christmas eve. Seventeen other persons were burned to death.
 Mr. Campbell, the father of the late Mrs. E. c. Tavener of Bloom field Avenue and a resident of the town of Bloomfield for more than a half century, was transported to St. Francis Hospital were mem- bers of his family found him in an unconscious condition early Christmas morning. His uncon- sciousness, it is believed was due to shock. He is 93 years of age and had been a patient at the hos pital for more than three years.
 The fire, the worst in the Hart ford area since the great circus holocaust, is said to have been caused by faulty wiring on Christmas tree. It required the attention of 200 firemen for more than three hours and attracked an audience of 5000 persons. The fire broke out at 9 pm.
 The bodies of most of the vic tims were charred. They had been caught helpless in their beds as the fire spread through the build ing and most of them probably died of suffocation in the heavy smoke. All were of advanced age.
 Members of MT. Campbell's family attribute his rescue to the fact he was roomed on the op- posite side of the building from where the blaze started.

CHURCH P0STPONES NAMING NEW PASTOR
Committee Resigns When It's Choice Is Not ApprOvel

The Federatel Church at it's special meeting early this month failed to reach an agreement as to the choice of a new pastor.
 Although the pastoral committee which was named several weeks ago to consider candidates for the position made it known it was ready with a recommendation it could not be agreed to accept it's proposal because several of the seventy present evidenced disap- proval of the plan to present only one candidate for the groups con- sideration. Others thought that a sufficient number of candidates had not been heard.
 After much. discussion and in pro test of a later vote to adjourn and thus postpone action of any nature until Wednesday evening, January 2, all members of the committee headed by Lloyd w. Moulton as chairman are re- ported to have resigned. Neverthe- less it is assumed by many that the name of whenever the com mittee had decided to recommend will be presented at the adjourned meeting, otherwise, it is pointed out, new committee will have to be named to hear other candidates.
 Those who served with MT. Moulton on the committee are: Brennis H. Tyrrell, Mrs. Hans c. Christensen, Mrs. James l.. Brad ford, William c. Hubbard, Miss Fedora Ferraresso, Mrs. B. New ton Peck, Mrs. Bernard J. Lee, Earl R. Powers, F. Willard Tull and J. Senior Washington.
 Selection of a pastor was made necessary upon the death of the late Reverend Thomas Foxall.

MASELLI WOULD GIVE
 AMBULANCE TO TOWN

The town council has under con- sideration the offer of an ambu- lance as a present to the town from councilman Dominick Maselli of Prospect Street.
 The ambulance was originally given to the Bloomfield Center Fire Department but was little used and has been out of operation for some time because maintenance funds have not been available.
 Coupled with the offer of the vehicle is a proposal from the Lions Club that they will organize drivers corps which will set up a schedule to assure both day and night operation.
