BURKE FOR G-YEAR PRESIDENT'S TERM Time Favorable for Action, Says Nebraskan—Plans Amendment. B the Associated Press. OMAHA, Nebr., December 5.—Sen- ator Bdward R. Burke, Democrat, of Nebraska said today he contemplates introducing at the next session of Con- gress a constitutional amendment pro- posal to give Presidents of the United States a six-year term, with no re-elec- tion privileges. “If such an amendment is not intro- duced by others favoring six-year terms for Presidents, I will do so and urge quick action on the proposal,” the Senator said. “This appears to be a very fayorable time for such action. The country has just witnessed the re-election of Presi- dent Roosevelt by a tremendous ma- jority. I believe President Roosevelt would favor the amendment.” Senator Burke resigned as Nebraska Democratic national committeeman last August. He explained he felt he could not give “blanket approval” to the New Deal, but still supported Presi= dent Roosevelt for re-election. He said today he believed the pro- posed amendment would be a great step forward in the direction of good government. “There would be no first term dur- ing which a President would have to devote a good share of his time to thoughts of re-election, thus permit- ting him to give fuller time to develop- ment of his program.” Burke added that he might incor- porate in his proposal a provision lengthening the terms of Representa- tives from two to four years.
