100000.
Final Sum May Be Cut.
Even If the bill escapes further
cut in the Senate. the final allot-
ment for Europe is likely to be
smaller because a compromise will
have to be reached with the House,
which allowed Europe only $780,
495 900.
The committee report indicates
that only time and changing
world conditions will determine
whether further American mill
tary aid will be needed in sub

years to ship all of the weapons

Terms
Amendment Gained
Little Ground in '49
By the Assoeioted Press

The proposed constitutional
amendment to limit future Pres
idents to two terms gained little
ground this year.
1t was approved by North Da-
kota and South Dakota. That
raised the total of States that
have ratified it to %. 1t must
have the approval of 13 more
before 1t can 60 in effect.
A survey today - Constitution
Day-showed the proposition had
lost much Of it's early momentum
Congress started the proposed
22nd amendment on the round of
State legislatures in March, 1947.
It gave the States seven years
or until March, 1854. to make up
their minds about it. If SO States
accept it before the deadline, 1t
will become law.
The amendment was ratified in
lS47 by ID States-Maine, Michi-
gan. Iowa, Kansas, New Hamp-
shire. Oregon, Illinois, Delaware
Vermont, California. New Jersey
Wisconsin, Ohio, Colorado, Penn
sylvania. Nebraska, Missouri and
Connecticut.
New York, Virginia and Mis-
sissippi followed suit in 1948. But
only the two Dakotas approved the
amendment in 1859. Resolutions
to ratify were defeated or side
tracked this year in Utah, Nevada
Idaho, Minnesota. Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Indiana, Montana.
North Carolina. New Mexico,
Washington, Wyoming and Ala
bama.
Comparatively few legislatures
meet in the even-numbered years.
So it looks as though it will be
1851 before the amendment will
have a mathematical chance Of
getting an okay from 13 more
States.
Several cities today held pro-
grams in observance Of the writ
ing and signing of the nation s
Constitution on September II,
1887.
