MARTIN PROPOSES
LIMIT ON TER MS

WASHINGTON. July 8. - Up -
House Republican leader Martin Of
Massachusetts urged today that
Congress move to limit the tenure
of any president to two four year
terms to help "restore popular
government in America"
The action. he said. should come
through submission to the states
of proposed constitutional amend
ment before the end of this year.
"Now is the time to put this re-
form into effect" Martin declar-
ed in a statement. ut can be done
now in a non-P artisan way. wher
it will have no effect on the i'm
mediate political program OF any
party
"America's STRENGTH the Re-
publican leader said, lies in the
principle that "no man is indls-
pensable and that there are many
men, in every generation, qualified
and competent to fill any job IN
America, from the presidency
down.
"By writing into our organic law
the bar on too long a tenure OF
the presidency desired by Wash
ington, Jefferson, Jackson and
many other great Americans. we
can assure ourselves of the preser-
walton of a Republican form OF
government.
BY limiting an individuals ten
ure as president to eight years,
Martin said, the administration
would have four years in which to
formulate it's policies and the peo'
pie would have sufficient time to
Judge those policies. If the people
approved the policies, "anothe1
four years would be sufficient tc
establish the policies, he added
and at the end of the second term
the president would step out d
office with the good will OF his
fellow citizens
"At the same time" he added
1--WE might well give full consld
GRAFTON to the futur status of mer
who will have held the office .:
president" by continuing to utilize
their experience and knowledge o
public affairs.
By giving ex-presidents seat II
the Senate or the House as "elde1
statesmen" Martin said. Congress!
could allow them to make an i'm
portant contribution to the govern
ment of their country"
To guarantee that the declining
years of the life of a presiden
ARE free from want and insecure
ty," Martin proposed that Con
gress grant them a pension of $25,
900 annually. This, he contended
would be in keeping with oul
American tradition that a man il
the most modest circumstance!
may seek the presidency of hi!
country and be secure in thu
knowledge that the country which
he has served will provide for hi!
welfare after he leaves the office.

Byrd Blocks Funds
For Preliminary Study
OF Stadium Project

The Stadium Commission seems
destined to go without any funds
for making architectural and en-
cheering studies of the postwar war
memorial project at least until Oc-
tober.
Action on the Biibo- Burton Mead
measure to allocate S150,000 of the
postwar planning funds Of the Fed
eral Works administration for this
purpose was blocked yesterday In
the Senate by Senator Byrd, Demo-
.crat, of Virginia.
Since the House is to begin its
summer recess after today, 1t Is not
expected any eleVenth-hour effort
viii be made to push the measure to
enactment.
When Senator Bilbo, Democrat,
of Mississippi, chairman of the Sta
dunn Commission called up the
measure for consideration yesterday
the Virginia Senator asked for an
! I'D
Senator Bilbo said 1t was planned
that the stadium be built with pri-
vate funds, but that before the COM
could properly approach
banking interests for funds it was
necessary that architectural and
economic studies be made. For this
reason, he said, the bill proposes to
TO haTe the FWA advance the funds,
which would be repaid If the banks
take over the project.
But other questions arose and
Senator Gordon, Republican, OF
Oregon commented that while the
District Committee report on the
measure said FWA would be au-
thorized TO advance the planning
fund, the bill itself made the ad-
vance mandatory.
Senator Bilbo said he would pro-
pose an amendment to leave the
advance to the discretion of the
FWA director, but Senator Byrd
his objection because
there was nothing in the bill which
guaranteed the project was to be
financed.
Since the measure was considered
on the consent calendar 1t was then
passed over.
