any Congress will assume the responsibility
OF even the initial appropriations appears
problematical.
Finally of course, the conclusion to be
drawn seems to be that only one of two meas
ures will serve to prolong the life of our "free

have another destructive war and build
another mountain of debt or we must give the
other countries blank check with which to
buy our products in order to keep our indus

t8 States Ratify Ban
Against Third Term,
1S More Required
BY tho Assoeioted Prsss

Eighteen States-half the neces-
sary number-have ratified the pro-
posed 22nd Amendment to the Con-
stitution limiting Presidents to two
terms. They did 1t in less than five
months.
But it probably will be more than
two years before ID, other States can
act unless lot of special legislative
sessions are called next year.
Congress gave the States seven
years to act when it submitted the
amendment in mid-March. The ap-
proval of three-fourths of the States
is needed to put an amendment into
effect.
The 18 States so far to ratify the
sntithird term amendment are all
outside the South. The only two
Southern States so far to consider
1t have failed to approve, although
they can reverse this action later.
Oklahoma's Senate postponed action
Indefinitely and the Texas House
rejected it outright.
Only these two States and eight
others have regular legislative ses-
sions in 1948. The eight are Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Massa achusetts.
Mississippi, New York, Rhode Island,
South Carolina and Virginia.
So even If these 10 took favorable
action next year, eight more States
still would have to do likewise to
put amendment no. % in the Con-
stitution.
Twenty States do not have reeu-
lar legislative sessions again until
1949.
The 18 States so far to ratify the
amendment proposed by the Repub-
ncan-controlled Congress are, in the
order of action taken:
Maine. Michigan. Kansas. Iowa.
New Hampshire, Illinois, Delaware
Oregon, New Jersey, Vermont, Cali
fornia, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Colorado, Connecticut, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska.

than midshipmen's beer-dr1nking
society.
There were never, as far as
know. any officers or official minutes
for the Bowlers," said Capt Taylor
former aide to Secretary Forrestal
"As far as new members are con-
cerned, I haven't known anybody
in the last II classes who was in
the Bowlers," he added.
Capt. Walsh described the society
as sort of kid organization-some
thing we had years ago as midship-
men," He declined to discuss what
he knew about the progress Of the

It's a two-man battle, with Horn
holding the inside track, although
81 of the Nations top racing drivers
will compete Sponsored by the
American Automobile Association,
this will be the ninth and final
race of the year with the winner
to get 200 points toward the Ma
tional championship. There also
will be $4,000 in cash prizes with
STATS first money.
Horn, third this year in the In
dianapolis classic, has amassed a
total of 1890 points in eight races
to lead the way as he seeks to repeat
as National champion. Holland
second at Indianapolis, has 1,570
Thus even if Holland won the event
here, Horn still could take the title
by finishing as high as fifth, which
counts 80 points.
No other racer has more than
750 points.
