Byrnes Says Landon Misrepresents Party On Third-Term Issue But Strong Support Comes From Yandenberg On Rejection Thesis Bs the Associated Press. Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina, an administration supporter, declared yesterday that Alf M. Landon had “misrepresented” the Republican party when he called on President Roosevelt to renounce any third-term intention in order to strengthen the Presi- dent’s position for national defense. Strong support for Mr. Landon’s stand came, however, from Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi- gan, a Republican presidential aspi~ rant. “I happen to agree,” Senator Vandenberg told reporters shortly after Senator Byrnes had made his statement, “that a presidential de- nial of a third-term idea would be the greatest invitation to unity which the country could enjoy.” Mr. Landon, the 1936 Republican presidential nominee, had a lunch- eon conference with the President last Wednesday. Afterward he gave reporters a statement in* which he said that any Republican ieader who took a position in the enlarged national defense setup in an effort to render unselfish national service *is making himself a party to this third or indefinite term move.” “If President Roosevelt is equally interested in unselfish service, he should publicly and forthwith eiim- {nate himself as a third-term candi- date,” Mr. Landon declared. Says Support is Shown. Senator Byrnes asserted that “when Mr. Landon states in so many words that Republicans will not support the President unless he eliminates himself from considera- tion for a third term, he misrepre- sents the views of the Republicans in Congress who have shown Ly their votes this week that they would support the defense prograi | without insisting on any political | trade.” Even as Senator Byrnes criticized the Kansan's stand, word circulated on Capitol Hill that Mr. Landon was determined to have a strorg voice in the formulation of the | platform at the Republican National Convention starting in Philadelphia June 24. - The former Kansas Governor, it | was said, has asked other party Jeaders to confer with him on plat- form questions in advapece of the convention. Those expected to con- | sult with Mr. Landon, reliable per- | sons reported, include Col. Frnnk! Knox, his running mate in 1936,/ and Senator McNary of Oregon and Representative Martin of Massa- chusetts, the Senate and House Republican leaders, respectively. The Landon conferences would be held coincidentally with the sched- uled preconvention sessions of the | Platform Committee.

The pool is under the supervision of Boyd Hickman, former George ‘Washington University athlete, serving his eighth year as pool director. | The life guards include Joe La | Salle, former member of the George | ‘Washington University and Centrali High School swimming teams; Allen Holt, G.

Conviction of distributing such | subversive material or conspiracy to do this could bring the maximum | penalty. Senators sald the list of deport- able aliens was also broadened to | include gangsters and gunmen, | persons advocating overthrow of this Government, persons smuggling aliens into this country and narcotic violatars. Senator Miller, Democrat, of Ar- kansas tsaid the bill also would force deportation of “all members feared that might tie his hands in fighting for his ideas. Senator Capper, Republican, of Kansas told | reporters that the former party standard-bearer would insist “on a liberal platform which will appeal | to the progressive element of the| country.” ! Senator Vandenberg, who voted for emergency defense appropri- ations asked by the President, said | he and other Republicans had been | glad to cast their votes as a con-| tribution to unity in behalf of| hational defense. “We will have unanimously sup- ported the appropriations sought by the President, but we have not hesitated to question the efficiency with which previous defense appro- priations have been spent and to demand better methods in the future,” he declared. “It would be desperately unfor-| tunate if this were not true. Unity in final action must be preceded by free and vigorous exploration to be sure that the final unity does not mask fateful mistakes. The Re- publican opposition most emphati- cally needs to continue to be critical in these respects.” Representative Fish, Republican, of New York said in an address pre- pared for radio delivery that it would be “to the lasting credit” of | the President if he would remove himself from the presidential race Wwith a clear statement. In their weekly columns, Charles | Michelson and Franklyn Waltman, Democratic and Republican pub- | licity directors, also discussed the effect of the European war and the defense question on the political situation. Congress (Continued From First Page.) registration features were eliminated before the House acted. In reopening the subject yester- day, the Seante subcommittee did not deem it -advisable to require aliens to report every six months, so members decided to draft a new amendment, calling for one registra- tion within four months after the bill passes, and thereafter an alien would have to report only a change | of address. Post offices throughout! the country were designated as| registration places. | The bill provides that all newly | arriving immigrants hereafter will be finger-printed, but the subcom- mittee did not decide definitely whether to include finger-printing as part of the general registration of those already here. Senator Con- nally said the finger-printing pro- vision was aimed at “passport rack- eteers and passport bootlegging.” The stiffest new provision in the measure’is a penalty of 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for any attempts to “interfere with, impair, of anarchist and similar organiza- tions advocating the overthrow of government by force.” The bill establishes the following grounds for deportation of an alien, if he or she: 1. Knowingly, and for gain, shall have encouraged, induced, assisted, abetted, or aided any other alien to enter, or try to enter, the United | States, in violation of law; 2. Engaged in espionage for a foreign government or internativnal political agency seeking to change he character of the Government | f the United States or influence its policies: 3. Has been convicted of viola- tion of a State narcotic law; 4. Possesses Or carries any weapon without legal authority which shoots, or is designed to shoot, automatic- ally or semiautomatically, more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger, or any firearm that has a muffier or silencer, or a weapon commonly called a sawed-off shotgun. Senator Miller and Senator Dana- her, Republican, of Connecticut are the other members of the sub- | committee that considered the bill. | Chairman Dies of the House Com- mittee on Un-American Activities predicted last night that Congress would quickly give the President “any additional legislation which may be needed to enable him to protect this country against the| enemies who have already invaded | America.” | The Texan, in an address pre-f pared for radio delivery, asserted that his committee already had | “seriously crippled the fifth column | and frustrated many of its trea.son-j able plans,” but that “we must not | relax our vigilance for one moment.” Mr. Dies declared that “there is no occasion for hysterical alarm or | & resort to repressive or undemo- cratic methods” and that “any sug- gestien which implies a recourse to strong-arm methods should be promptly rejected by every patriotic citizen.” Replying to his own question of | “What are we going to do about associoted with the the fifth column in America?” Mr. Dies recommended “first of all, the prompt, sincere, fearless and ener- getic enforcement of existing laws.” Larger Border Patrol Advised. An enlargement of the Immigra- tion Service's border patrol to pre- vent the smuggling of aliens also was needed, he said, adding that statutes requiring registration of agents of aliens paved the way for prosecution of many “fifth column- ists.” He also urged ‘support for his request ‘to the House for $100,000 to establish 10 regional committee offices over the United States. If this request is granted, the com- mittee will have been voted a total of $300,000 since it began its inquiry two years ago. Representative Celler, Democrat, of New York disclosed that he plans to introduce legislation to give the Federal Bureau of Investigation “heavy weapons of investigation, like wire tapping,” in the fight on spies and saboteurs. He. also suggested increasing the number of F. B. I. agents from 800 to 2,500.

Cify Health Officer Testifies He Believes Mrs. Burleson Insane Physician Who Sent Accused Woman to Asylum Takes Stand By the Associated Press. COLUMBIA, 8. C, May 25.—A city health oficer who sent Mrs, May Walker Burleson to a mental institution four days after she shot and killed her former husband's second wife testified at her murder trial here today that he considered her to be insane. The tall, matronly 51-year-old de- fendant, an artist and former suf- fragette leader, walked into a ho- tel cafeteria here March 8 and shot the second Mrs. Burleson, wife of Col. Richard C. Burleson, U, §. A., with & rusty pistol she held in a black bag.

He said he found her shaking the bars of her cell and that “she was very poorly clad and her hair was sl messed up.” On Dr. Payne's certificate she was committed to & private sanitarium under guard. Later she was sent, on court order, to the State asylum for a 30-day observation period. The hospital psychiatrists report- ed she was not insane. - On cross-examination Dr. Payne saild he was a_practicing physician and was not an expert on “mental disorders.” Previously several psychiatrists and relatives and lfelong friends of the first Mrs. Burleson had told the jury that in their opinion’ she had been of unsound mind since her divorce in 1937. - Today's session of the trial lasted only 25 minutes. It was cut short .when the attorneys saw that the trial could not be completed this week, Claud N. Sapp, chief of defense counsel, said that all the testimony and the arguments should be com- pleted by Tuesday night. The de- fense, he said, had several more witnesses it would call in its at- tempt to prove the defendant was insane at the time of the crime. NO MONEY DOWN? | No Phone, C. 0.
