began plaintively and dangerously

drums. 1t throbbed and pulsated

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-P,
- House Democratic and Re-
publican leaders headed today
into a personal scrap involving
the late President Roosevelt.
Specifically at issue is a bill
by COP Leader Joseph Martin
of Massachusetts, proposing a
Constitutional amendment to
limit any president to two
terms.
The measure, on which the
Elections Committee will begin
hearings Thursday, is an out
growth Of Mr.. Roosevelts third
and fourth terms.
Martin will be facing Demo
cratic Leader John Mccormack
of Massachusetts his No. l foe.
Usually the party chieftains
let their colleagues carry the
ball for them in testimony be-
fore committees.
This time, however, each told
a reporter he feels so strongly
about the problem that he in
tends to do his own battling.
Both added, however, that
they hoped to avoid any direct
reference to the late President.
Commenting on the measure,
Martin said:
THE underlying philosophy
of our American Republic has
always been that no man is in
dispensable. 1t should not
be possible for the President to
build up SO vast and ramified
political organization that he
alone can be considered a candi-
date to succeed himself"
Nc Cormack, in a separate in
terview, asserted:

in the position of placing the
dead hand of the past across the
face of the future.
