Democrat Seeks
Repeal Of Ban
On Third Term

A House Democrat would come
to the aid of all parties by start
ing drive to repeal the anti
third term constitutional amend
ment he says has made President
Eisenhower "the first lame duck
President"
Representative Augustine B.
Kelley, Pennsylvania Democrat
recently reelected for a ninth
term, told his constituents in a
newsletter to day that the 22nd
Amendment limiting Presidents
to two terms was q Republican
device for posthumous dishonor
OF the great Franklin d. Roose-
welt"
The amendment, he recalled,
was initially enacted by the Re-
publican-controlled both Con-
gress which for various other
reasons former President Tru-
man enounce as q do
nothing" Congress.
Predicts Many Repeal Moves
Nov that our people have
elected the first lame duck Presi-
dent in American history-the
first one who is prohibited under
the Constitution from further
reelection" Mr.. Kelley pre-
dicted, II am sure we can look
forward to a drive to repeal the
amendment which caused this
unprecedented situation.
"Of course, it is this Repub-
llican-sponsored amendment, in
tended to strike at FDR's me-
mory, which now is causing SO
much trouble to the first Repub-
llican President in a generation,
Dwight D. Eisenhower. He is GO
ing to find himself in the next
four years more and more showed
aside by the ambitious politicians
of his party who know he can
not run again and who are push
ling for the big stakes, of the
1860 Republican convention"
The Pennsylvania did not
disclose whether he personally
will introduce a repeal resolu-
ton as soon as the 85th Con-
gress conveneS. Nor did he men,
ltion that President Eisenhower
voiced an opinion at a news con-
ference several weeks ago that
the 22nd Amendment was not
especially wise.
Urges Repeal
Mr.. Kelley. however. called for
bipartisan support of a move
to repeal the amendment.
1--WE have learned an impor-
tant lesson from this amend
ment," he said. I'VE have learned
not to amend the Constitution
Just merely in order to carry out
some transitory political objec-
tive, such as this one was.
Amending the Constitution is a
very serious step. 1t should not
be done hastily"
He noted that some 30 con-
stitutional amendment proposals
were introduced at the last SEES
sion of Congress. They would do
all sorts of things and most of
them should be ignored, he
declared.

that world peace was not secure
Vital to Both Parties
Iceland's action, beginning
with a formal notification to the
NATO Council at Paris, resulted
in NATO review Of the impor-
lance of the air base and a find
ing that its continued operation
is vital both to the whole North

Under the old arrangement the
United States maintained forces

The amount is the highest a
Federal worker can receive under
the Governments incentive
awards program. The highest
previous award-$10,625-also
was presented by Navy, to two
workers who worked out rail
freight rate charts that saved
the Government $40 million the
first year.
DR.. Mclean got the award for
his key role in the development
of the Nays new air-to-air
guided missile, Sidewinder. He
was given the award by Admiral
Arleigh Burke, Chief Of Naval
Operations.
The low-cost missile is esti-
mated to save the Navy $46 mil
lion in the development and
production program in a year.
DR.. Mclean evolved the basic
idea for Sidewinder in 1949, four
years after he went to work at
the test station. He was made
technical director in 1854. He
worked here at the Bureau Of
Standards during World War II
as a research physicist.
The record breaking award
needed approval from the Sec
Rotary of the Navy. the Secretary
of Defense and, finally. the
chairman Of the Civil Service
Commission.
Individual agencies can give
incentive awards for suggestions
or superior work up to $4,000
without Civil Service Commission
approval. Only two such awards
have been made under the two
lyear-old awards program.
