| Rare Bear Cub
| From Andes
| Reaches Zoo

/ Visitors at the Zoo today can see
q new addition to the parks collec-
ton Of bears--a rarely-found cub
from the Andes Mountains In South
America. (
Most distinguishing feature Of the
new guest are white rings around
its eyes, which will become more dis
tinct as the bear grows, according
to DR.. William M. Mann, Zoo d..
rector.
The cub is about 8 months old
and weighs about so pounds. Be-
cause their native home in Column
bia is nearly inaccessible, the bears
are not often captured DR.. Mann
explained, and because they are exs
tremely nervous. they are. dificult
to keep In captivity. The Washing
ton Zoo had one of the cubs several
years ago, but it died after q short
time, the director said.
The new cub, a female, will proh-
ably get as big as the North Ameri-
can black bear. which, except for the
white-ringed eyes, she closely re-
sembles. DR.. Mann sid it is dis
family related to the polar bear.

Limit ON Presidency
BY the Assoeioied Press

Majority Leader White said he
expected to drum up the necessary
two-thirds majority Of the Senate
today for a constitutional amend
ment limiting Presidents to nine
years in of1lce.
My guess" Senator White told
a reporter, lis that the Senate will
approve the amendment and that 1t
will be submitted to the States for
ratification"
Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin, chairman OF the judiciary
Committee which recommended the
amendment, said he, too, had little
doubt 1t would pass, possibly before
the end of the days session.
The Senate version differs slightly
from one which the Republicans
pushed through the House by a
285-to-121 vote last month.
House Set 2-Term Limit.
The House proposal would bar
from the presidency "any person who
has served as President Of the United
States during all, or portions, Of any
two terms"
Senator Wiley's committee decided
to make it two full terms plus a
year. 3
Meanwhile, the Senate Rules
Committee decided today to start
public hearings at 1890 am. Friday
on various new proposals dealing
with succession to the presidency.
Under existing law, passed in 1886,
members Of the cabinet, starting
with the Secretary of State, become
eligible when a President dies and
there is no Vice President.
Four Plans Introduced.
In the last Congress the House
passed bill designating the
Speaker as next in line when there
Is no Vice President, as at present.
The Senate failed to act on the bill
and it died The House has taken
no action in this Congress. Four
plans have been introduced in the
Senate as follows:
By Senator Green, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, creating a joint con-
.gressional committee to study the
whole subject; by Senator Wherry,
Republican, of Nebraska, designat-
ing the Speaker; by Senator Full
bright, Democrat, of Arkansas,
leaving the cabinet members as
successors, but providing for q spe-
ctal election within 80 days; by
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat, Of
Connecticut, leaving the cabinet
members as successors, but provid-
ing for selection of a temporary
President by the same members of
the electoral college chosen at the
last national election.

Tough Job for Marshall. s'
Col. Carter's assignment on the
Moscow trip made it clear that
Gen. Marshall intends to keep his
fingers closely on other world de-
velopments despite the Importance
Of problems with the Soviet, British
and French Foreign Ministers.
Efforts to reach agreement on
problems of German boundaries,
reparations, political organization
and economic self f-suficiency-all
fraught with long-range implica-
tions for the whole continent of
Europe-will confront Gen. Mar
shall with one of the sternest tests
Of his career.
A new furry of blasts from mem
bers OF Congress at Soviet actions
and intentions pointed up the diff
culties that will face Gen. Marshall
in Moscow.
Demands were voiced in the
House for an end to what some
termed a "coddling policy" toward
Russia and for economic sanctions
in the form Of ban on all Amer
tcan exports to the Soviet.
VIII Stop In Paris.
The State Department announced
late yesterday that Gen. Marshall
would stop In Paris at the invitation
Of French President Auriol. This
aroused speculation about possible
efforts to seek an accord with
France on disposition Of the Ruhr
in advance Of opening Of the Mos
COW sessions.
Gen. Marshall probably will spend
tomorrow night in Paris. He in
tends to fly from there to Berlin,
where he probably will spend Friday
night and possibly Saturday night
before going on to Moscow.
The Greek problem, which Gen.
Marshall termed ''transcendent" in
his first public statement on the
matter yesterday, was made urgent
for this country by British inability
to continue carrying alone the eco
nomic and military burden Of prop
ping up the anti-C Communist regime
in Greece in view of Britain's own
desperate economic plight.
Greece Specifies Needs.
Greece's note said that to survive
she must have money to buy food
and clothing, help in becoming self
supporting, American experts and
administrators to guide the use of
any aid extended, and Indirect mill

day was high lighted by Represent

destruction in Greece has been so
complete as to rob the Greek people
Of the power to meet the situation

After continued questioning on
the Communist issue by Mr.. Gwinn,
Mr.. Bittner stated:
It have never been dreamed Of as
a Communist. I have never voted
anything in my life by the Repub-
lican and Democratic tickets. It
might sound strange to you but /
voted for a lot Of Republicans in my

Mr.. Gwinn said he did not want
to see "the CIO-PAC running the
country because you have such
contempt ="

Mr.. Bittner, there's not a man in
the country that I hate" 4
Mr.. Bittner said he favored mass
picketing but that he was "as much
against jurisdictional disputes as
any man in the country" He added,
however, that Congress could not
legislate against the jurisdictional
dispute. He suggested:
Have Congress pass a joint reso-
luton directing the CIO and AFL
to get together and ban jurisdic-
tional disputes as a matter of public
policy"
NAM Activities Assailed.
Mr.. Bittner was bitterly critical
Of the activities Of the National AS
sociation Of Manufacturers in op-
posing the extension Of price control
and for advocating restrictive labor
laws. He read what he described as
a secret" document written by the
NAM president last summer which
admitted that "the public is strongly
in favor OF extending price controls"
but that the NAM was opposing 1t
as best in the long-range interests
of the country and the NAM.
On the other side of the Capitol
an NAM spokesman told the Senate
Labor Committee that pending labor
legislation has caused the National
Labor Relations Board to change its
policies.
Raymond s. Smethurst, NAM
counsel, said recent events indicate
the NLRB has become convinced It
should amend the Wagner Act
without awaiting action by Con-
gress."
Mr.. Smethurst said, however,
such "nonbasic" changes in policy
have always been "too little and too
late" He asked Congress to IDEAL
effectively with basic questions
through legislation.
Backs Closed Shop Ban.
The NAM official backed bills to
outlaw the closed shop, industry
wide bargaining, amend the Wagner
Act and eliminate 'abuses" by
unions.
Mr.. Smethurst said the NLRB, in
the face of congressional action, had
changed its policies on the following
points: 49,.
/. Free speech-he cited five NLRB
decisions in the last two months
which he said showed the board has
relaxed Its rulings" He said at
would seem that NLRB belatedly
has recognized the employers right
