Elected to the Gastineau District Committee as members at large were Wallis George, Lloyd Coe and Douglas Gray. Though the mem bership in Troop GAP sponsored by the Sitka American Legion Post at the Orthopedic Hosiptal had dropped to two, it was decided to continue the troop. A neighborhood patrol is to be organized to main- tain the troop. Membership in the troop had dropped to two because
 members in the troop had been discharged from the hospital. Only patients in the Orthopedic Hospi- tai can be members of Troop SAP. The next district court of honor will be held Sunday, April 29 at the Douglas school, it was amour

2-Tern Limit Idea Called Clumsy
Writer Fovors System Of Allowing the People
To Remove President Lacking Confidence

Roosevelt had succeeded the as
sassinated President, William
Mckinley, in September. 1901,
and then was elected in 1904
for a four-year term, so he real
ly had served about three years
and six months of one term and
four years of another.
The Democrats argued that,
even though "a four-year inter-
val had elapsed since Roosevelt
left the presidency in March.
1909, it would mean that the
same individual would occupy
the Office of Chief Executive for
what was then considered to be
a third term" Theodore Roose-
velt was often referred to in
that campaign as the third
term" candidate.
If the Democratic Party is
thinking about nominating Mr..
Truman again, they will find
embarrassing the position taken
in 1912 on the subject of giving
a Vice President three terms.
This correspondent has al
ways argued against limitation
of tenure for Presidents on the
theory that, if any constitution
al change were made. it should
be toward a responsible system
which would enable the people
to remove a President when he
lost their confidence. Under
such a plan. elections could be
held just the same at regular in
tervals. Congress also should be
subjected to the same power of
the people to elect all of their
legislators at least once every
two years. The late Mackenzie
King served as Premier of Can
ada for 81 years. but his service
was not consecutive and he could
have been ousted at any time
by the Canadian Parliament or
by the people.

are brought to book every two
years; why not the President,
If he is to be the leader of the
party and the spokesman of
policy?
Sooner or later, it would
seem, he must be made answer
able to opinion IN somewhat
more informal and intimate
fashion-answerable, it may be,
to the houses he seeks to lead,
either personally or through
cabinet, as well as to the people
for whom they speak. But that
is a matter to be worked out
as it inevitably will be-in some
natural American way which
we cannot yet even predict
After making this plea for a
system which resembles some
what the parliamentary form
in vogue in Canada, Australia,
Great Britain and many other
democracies, Wilson gave as his
second choice two-term tenure
as opposed to- a single six-year
term. He said.
PUT the present customary
limitation of two terms into
the Constitution, if you do not
trust the people to take care of
themselves, but make it two
terms-not one, because four
years is often too long-and
give the President a chance to
win the full service by proving
himself fit for it,"
1t must be remembered that
in the 1912 campaign. from
which Wilson had just emerged
the victor over a split Republi-
can Party-with President Taft
and former President Theodore
Roosevelt as the opposing can
didates-the Democrats had for
the first time in history made a
campaign against the third
term idea.

ROME met my first king
last night.
No congressman on election
eve was more democratic or
friendly.
He shook my hand, embraced
me, served me my food, asked
for my autograph and. finally.
did a solo dance in my honor.
This juggling monarch of 10
years of age was Alfredo the
First. King of the Noodles. or,
in Italian, N Vero Re Dele
Fettuccine."
His palace" is a sparkling
new restaurant on the Piazza
Augusta Imperatore, and his his
tory as a king, particularly dur
ing the last year, is filled with
enough intrigue to have delight
ed the heart of a Borgia.
King Alfredo's Story.
Briefly, this is King Alfredo's
story.
In 1905 Alfredo, an unknown
chef then, opened a small res
taurant on the ALA Scrofa, and
in a few years it was world fa-
nous, due to Alfredo's genius at
preparing fettuccine, which is
noodles with a cheese and but
ter sauce. The walls were lined
with autographed pictures Of
the worlds mighty who had
sought out the tiny restaurant
on the mean little street.
Fettuccine is as old as the
Tiber. but Alfredo's mixing of
the dish transformed the flour.
egg and water into something
fit for the gods. In 1927 George
Rector. in an article in the Sat-
urday Evening Post. hailed AL
fredo as a master worthy to
stand alongside the geniuses of
art. literature and music.
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary
Pickford presented him with
a golden fork a spoon with
which to mix and serve his
noodles. Inscribed on the
handles is tribute to alfredo.
King Of the Noodles.
The money rolled in through
the years and Alfredo's NOUS
tachios grew in proportion. BY
1943 he had all the lire he
could ever spend and a set of
moustachios that required more
and more care.
Sold Out to Walters.
When war rationing made 1t
impossible for him to get the
flour, eggs. and bu. he needed
to make his famous dish, he
sold out lock, stock and barrel
to two of his faithful old wait
ers. and retired. He gave them
his pictures, his g. -2st books,
his recipe, his blessings-every-
things except tn golden fork
and spoon.
A year ago Alfredo, outraged
by hearing that the men who
had bought him out were styling
themselves as King of the
Noodles" forgot all about his
abdication VOWS and went back
into business.
Then the intrigue started.
King Alfredo claims that the
men who bought him out pay

proper position in the scheme
of things.
This element Of relative posi-
ton and prestige is a great one.
of course, for a country which
has gone through the dissolu-
tion of a once great empire.
British pride has been injured
by having to accept the inevita-
BILE 1851 situation, namely. that
they are not the first-class
fighting power they once were.
British soldiers, individually and
in units, have fought well In
Korea, but the British force
fighting there is still minute.
The British contribution to
the Allied war effort, when it
gets rolling, will be distinctly
secondary to that Of the United
States, both in men and
machines. They will not be able
to put as many warships on the
high seas as the United States
will, nor will those warships be
as wide ranging in their opera
tions as the vessels of the
United States Navy.
These facts can be pointed
out, not in a spirit of recrimina-
ton or of arrogance, but in a
spirit of realistic recognition in
reply to some pretty harsh re-
marks that have been made
about the United States in the
House of Commons and the
British press.
It is true, as the British point
out, that If they are weak to-
day, it is because of the heavy
price they paid in winning
World War II. But the fact of
weakness must be recognized,
and 1t comes with poor grace
for the British to resent Amer
lean command in an area where
American power will be pre-
dominant-namely the broad
Atlantic from the western ap-
proaches of Britain to the
coasts of North America.
British resentment over their
secondary position in the de-
tense setup has not been stilled
by assurances that the British
Home Fleet will be under the
operational control of a British

tie, in the last analysis, In which
we are engaged.
We must believe in ourselves
if we are to save ourselves and
our way of life. The Taft
Wherry- Hoover element is not
sure. Their gospel appears to
be: "But maybe we can't"
They would wall us in the "Gi-
braltar of the Western Hemi-
sphere" and they can hardly OBJ
ject if people call that "isola-
tionism." We have needed
friends always in the world, be-.
ginning with our own struggle
for freedom when our top diplo-
mat of that day, wise and
shrewd old Ben Franklin,
brought the French to our side
to provide that fleet which
helped, on the sea side. to hem
in Lord CORVALLIS at York
town. So it has been through
our history.
This is all well known and
understood by the other ele-
ment in the Republican Party,
which has accepted the chal-
lenge of the Taft-Wherry-
Hoover isolationist die-hards.
On that side we find, among
others. Gov. Dewey, Harold
Stassen, Senator Duff of Penn

clan, but welcome to an initia-

admiral, and that the British
themselves will be responsible
for their immediate naval de-
fense.
Experience in World War II,
In which there was no overall
Atlantic command, except as
the Commander In Chief of the
United States Atlantic Fleet
exercised such powers, supports
the effort now being made
under the Atlantic defense ar
rangements to provide such b
supreme commander, who can
meet the enemy sea threat
wherever it occurs, whether it
be in the vicinity of Great
Britain, in mid-Atlantic or in
the coastal waters of the United
States.
In such a supreme naval COM
mand setup the defense Of the
immediate approaches to Great
Britain must be secondary to
the protection of war shipping
crossing the ocean to the conti-
nent-and to Britain herself.
Russian submarines i like the
Nazi undersea marauders-will
recognize no jurisdictional lines,
and if it comes to fighting of
a rowing pack of subs all anti
submarine forces - surface as
well as air-must be instantly
available for use wherever they
are needed.
The British outcry now being
raised may be a healthy demon
stration that Britain is not a
satellite of America, but it can
also have some detrimental eff
fects if, as result of it, any
sacrifice of naval unity is made
in order to salve injured ma

for Alfredo are sometimes told
that he is dead, sometimes
that he is i'll. but always that
the present owners are his sons,
who learned his secret at his
