Johnson, Ickes Argue Election of "Stooge” To Avoid Third Term General Says Roosevelt Couldn’t Do It; Both Agree on One Poini By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 22.—The possi- bility of having “a stooge” in tne White House to circumvent opposi- tion to a presidential third term was debated yesterday by Secretary of the Interior Ickes and Gen. Hugh S. Johnson. The suggestion that a President, after serving two terms, might be able to arrange for the election of somebody to act for him was voiced at the University of Chicago’s Round Table broadcast. “I have no objection to a third term if it is not consecutive,” re- marked Gen. Johnson, former N. R. A. administrator, who now is a col- umnist, during a discussion of the third-term issue. Mr. Ickes commented: “I think it is a comfortable ‘out,” this distinction between a third con- secutive term and a third term after an interval, because if a man is seek- ing to get control of our institutions and perpetuate himself and his poli- cies in office, it would be perfectly easy for him * * * to elect a stooge at the end of his second term and then come back in after that in- terval.” Couldn't Elect Stooge. “I'd like to see Mr. Roosevelt at- tempt to elect a stooge in the com- ing election,” Gen. Johnson retorted. “I think he could be elected, but I don't think he could elect a stooge and T doubt very much if any Presi- dent could. But that is no ‘out.’ s “You can look no farther than Washington, D. C., to see a Presi- dent who has accumulated to him- self, by patronage and by grants of funds, more power than any President ever had in two terms and if he could do that in two terms, what he wouldn't do in three I'd hate to say.” . Declaring President Roosevelt has acquired no undue powers during his | two terms, Secretary Ickes said: “As I see it, there was example | after example of legislative en- croachment on the Executive power during the last seven years. It wasn't so much the courts, since the Bupreme Court decided to go back to the Constitution itself to decide whether a law is constitutional or | unconstitutional.” Byrd Tells of Haza;&; 0f Charting Coast Line By the Associated Press. VALPARAISO, Chile, April 22— Charting 1,200 miles of coastline be- tween Palmerland and Little Amer- ica, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd says, was the most dangerous work | he ever undertook. Arriving yesterday aboard flagship Bear, en route to the United States from his Antarctic explora- tions, Admiral Byrd told of the haz- ards. > “We were in Antarctic darkness, among threatening icebergs and vio- lent winds which changed direction with scarcely a momen’t notfce,” he said. He paid a tribute to the seaman- ship of the Bear’s captain, Richard Cruzen, saying, “I don't think we would have come through but for him and his Navy crew.” The Bear, Admiral Byrd said, had sailed 14,000 miles without dropping anchor. He left 33 men at the west base near Little America and 26 others at the east base, 1,200 miles distant. Nazi Plane Shot Down In Battle With French By the Ascociated Press.

Archibald MacLeish, librarian of Congress, has asked that crusade headquarters “make available to the Library of Congress the great mass of written, printed and visual material being developed in con-| nection with the crusade in the| many thousands of participating schools.” “These records,” he said, “will furnish significant first-hand in- formation for future students of the history of our times as to what was | the temper of our country and of | its young people in the yeay of 1940.” Mrs, Fisher reports that crusade materials and literature have been distributed to schools in all 48 States | LYSOL MINUTE MOVIES DOGGONE THOSE FLEAS!

Paul Satko, 49, former marine, set making & brave 5 knots in the face of & 22-mile wind that partially drowned the sound of pleasure boat whistles bidding him good-by. Some 20,000 onlookers yelled their good wishes. With him were his wife and seven children ranging in age from 2% to 18 years.
