Washington, July 9-(UP)-Re- blicans opened campaign today to restore the two-term presidential tradition by constitutional amend ment.
 House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin, Jr., said Congress sohuld submit to the states next autumn an amendment which would limit the tenure of President to two terms of four years each. If Congress fails to submit such an amendment, he continued, the states themselves should act.
 Some observers believed an ef- fort will be made to obtain sup port of President Truman for the amendment. With his support its speedy adoption would be reason ably certain. Martins proposal, made public here in the form of state ment issued from his office, invit- ed Democratic assistance.

Gas Boards
 Put On Spot

Washingon, July g. (UP)-The office of price administration has launched a nationwide campaign to stop over-issuance of gasoline rations by local rationing boards.
 The agency is concerned because consumption of gasoline by civilian motorists has risen steadily in the last few fonths. It has reached the point where the value of outstand- ing coupons is more than the total amount of gasoline set aside for civilian use.
 Officials said the over-issuance of stamps last month totaled 100000 gallons a day.
 The petroleum administration for war last month allocated an addi- tional 140,000 barrels a day for civilian use over and above the l. 264 ,O00 barrels of gasoline previously set aside to meet daily civilian re- quirements. The extra allocation permitted OPA to raise the value of A coupons from four to six gol- Ions and to lift the B card ceilings on to $50 miles a month.
 Local raatlon boards-provides with some extra gas-generously gave B card holders more gasoline than they were eligible for by oc- cupation in many instances when those users applied for an additional amount, officials said.
 The PAW also is concerned about the over issuance of coupons. A spokesman said there may have to be a cut in the value of A gas cou- pons in the fourth quarter of 1945 if local OPA boards are not more careful
 According to PAW officials, the newly recaptured oil fields in Borneo will not help the gasoline situation in this country.

Pooch Nets $292 Profit

Lake Placid, N Y, July e(UP) James J. Patnode, 25, former sec ond lieutenant in the army, laceo possible re-induction as private today after it was revealed that ne was dismissed for selling a dog to private for $500. =.
 The officer made $292.50 profit on the love of Pfc. Malcolm Doug las, East Orange, N. J., for par ticular pooch.
 Patnode and his wife, the former Miss Audrey Rec of Denver, who as an army camp secretary helped the officer acquire the dog the oth- CT soldier loved, were on an outing today.
 whether Patnode will be sent back to the army depends on the attitude the Lake Placid local draft board takes toward the story revealed last night by the third service command at Baltimore. Authorities said Patnode was court martialed and dismissed for "con- duct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman
 His mother, Mrs. Robert Patnode, said her son did not know the reason for his discharge had been made public.

 Army authorities said it was brought out at the court martial that Douglas told Patnode, his commanding officer, at Camp Rimimi, Helena, Mont, than an es- kimo malmute named Lucky in the K-9 corps there was the same dog he rescued in a storm in the Ant arctic in le39.

A Bible school program, planned jointly by the First Lutheran and Zion Evangelical Lutheran church. es, was opened this morning at the First Lutheran church parish house. The sessions will be held through July 20 from to 11:30 a. m., for children up to 16 years of age.
 Priesthood of All Believers" was the topic of a sermon by Rev. Francis o. Ayres, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, at the union service for Protestant church. es held on the lawn of the First Baptist church last night. All peo- pie, not only the clergy, should account themselves as ministers of Christ, he stated.

found it with both front legs brok- en and the two were inseparable companions until the war separated them.
 The lonely private told his lieu tenant he would pay as much as $500 to have that dog as his own, army officers said.
 Douglas was transferred to Alaska shortly after Patnode told him the dog had been condemned to death as useless.
 The third service command said Patnode bought Lucky at a negoti- ated sale for $7.5o, using Miss Rec. as agent.
 Douglas said he sent Patnode a money order, and then reported the transaction to the army inspector general. Patnode was courtmar- tialed and cashiered.
 He said he hadn't wanted to cause trouble for his former com- mander, but wanted part of his money back. After his trial Patnode promised to reimburse the private, but Douglas said he had received no money.

form into effect" Martin said. "It can be done now in a partisan way, when it will have no effect on the immediate political program of any party"
 He also proposed that ex-presi- dents be seated either in the House or Senate for life or that they be pensioned at $25,O0O a year.
 Andrew Jackson's view was, - said Martin, that a President who did not wish to conform to the mo- third-term tradition would build up political machines and distribute patronage in such a manner as to obtain support for himself. Thus, great decisions of state might be subordinated to the personal inter ests of the occupant of the White House.
 Jackson foresaw the possibility that an ambitious executive might use political favors to cajole, to bully, and even to purge from poli- tical life those members (of Con- gress) who would not conform to his personal desires.
 Tn the past it was not possible for the administration to build itself up into a political monopoly under which individuals acquired sence of proprietorship and per- sonal privileges. AS Lincoln fore saw, there are always some who would accomplish devious purposes unWholesome in our constitutional government. Such men will always try to conceal from the people theil intent to perpetuate bureaucracy ano personal power in all its lavish, ex- travagant and bungling forms.
 They will cite emergency situa- tions, make appeals to class preju- dice and promise everything 1T the world to accmoplish their ends

 O. My husband has just gone overseas and before he left he said he would have his overseas pay sent to me. I received my check this month and it is still in the same amount and he has been gone six weeks. When will he increase come through?
 A. If your husband wishes to send you an amount of his pay he should authorize a Class E allot- ment and payment is made in a check separate from the Family AL lowance. If your husband authorized 1t to be effective the first of June, you would not be entitled to pay ment until the middle of July. It is suggested that you write to him and ask him whether he has filed the authorization and when it is to be effective.
 e. My son is a sergeant in the Army and has been in for about three years. To my knowledge he has not saved a single bit of his pay. Could I appy for an allotment of his pay and place it in savings ac- cout for him?
 A. No, you cannot apply for such an allotment. If soldier wishes to have an amount of his pay placed in savigs account he authorizes a Class E allotment payable to bank to be deposited to his credit or to a relative to save for him. But no one but the soldier himself may author ize such an allotment.

Dan Cooper also wants to know
why there couldn't be furniture
parts available for local and indiyid-
ual assembling, so that the furniture,
too, could have the personality Of
the family using it and the extra
aura of having been made by them
for their own special need. Even
the upholstery could be provided
for such units, when foam rubber
padding again Is in circulation.
Not the least important points in
such plan would be the pleasure
man takes in owning and using
things that he has helped create,
which seems a part of himself And
in the kind of economic society
which we seem inevitably to be en-

would also be added to such homes

ira something that comes of loving

that much of the beauty of old
crafts was the result of the workers
love for his work, and that this is
the quality missing in most of our
