CONGRESS COLD | _ T0 RESOLUTION ON THIRD TERM

Legislators Fear That AntiCandidacy Move Would - Back-Fire.

By LYLE C. WILSON ° United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.— The New York Legislature’s “dictator-

ship” resolution against a third term got a cold reception here today, BEPREnpY becausé of fear that such a move in Congress might backfire. Senators were reluctant to discuss it. There is the possibility a resoiution against a third term could be defeated, thereby boosting President Roosevelt's stock still higher. Or, it might get through by so slim a majority as to rob the resolution of much of its emphasis. Moreover, a number of New Deal Senators already are on record against a third term for the late President Calvin Coolidge and they

called upon to reaffirm their opposition under existing circumstances.

Want to Avoid Vote

There are influential Senate Democrats who did not like the Roosevelt third term idea ‘at the outset but who are coming around to it in belief the President would be a strong 1940 candidate. These men are anxious to avoid a third term vote in the Senate not only to protect themselves but to avoid the party strife which would accompany it. If anything like a two-thirds majority could be expected, anti-Roose-velt Democrats would be actively maneuvering a third term resolution toward a vote. But Senator Rush D. Holt (D. W. Va.) is the only member so far. publicly associated with the movement and others appear to be shying off. Senator Holt can propose an antithird term resolution at his convenience, but obtaining a vote would be another matter. A method suggested whereby the proposed Holt resolution could be blocked would be a Democratic motion to refer it to the Privileges and Elections Committee for report. That committee is loaded with anti-Roosevelt Democrats. But unless the party’s elder statesmen considered the move against Mr. Roosevelt to be a wise one, that committee could pigeon hole it as effectively as any other.

‘It's Too Late Now’

' A veteran Southern Senator often opposed to the New Deal said that the anti-third term bloc had waited too long to make its move. His judgment was that Mr. Roosevelt’s candidacy has advanced to a point, now, where it would be difficulteto persuade the Democratic-controlled Senate to vote on such a proposition. The New York Legislature’s memorial sought a Federal statute against a third term on the grounds that the two-term tradition is a pro-

tection against “dictatorship.”

SUPPORT HATCH | BILL EXTENSION.

Majority Frown on Appeals For Funds to Aid in Party Campaigns.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Publie Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 28.— The drive in Congress by Senator Carl Hatch (D. N. M.). to cut down politics in government by making it illegal to solicit campaign funds from Federal employees is widely supported by voters in a nationwide poll of public opinion. It has been a time-honored custom for Government workers in election year to contribute part of their wages to the party, either voluntarily or as a result of solicitation. A bill sponsored by’ Senstor Hatch would bring sweeping changes to this practice, for, it would leave government workers free to contribute voluntarily if they wished, it would prohibit anyone from soliciting money from them for a candidate or a political party. The amount of public sentiment for this drastic change, as measured by an Institute survey, is such

as to indicate that the public is| almost completely out of sympathy |

with the old practice of collecting funds from Government workers by party bosses or workers through overt solicitation. Instead, the majority of voters have apparently adopted the principle that a Gove ernment worker owes no more financial obligation to his party than any other type-of citizen. The issue put to voters in the Institute survey was: “Do you think it is all right for people to solicit money for political campaigns from Government employes, or 40 you think this should be prevented by law?” The vote of those expressing an opinion was as follows:

All right to solicit.....,..... 23% Soliciting should be pre-. vented 7 Approximately one voter in nine (12 per cent) expressed no opinion. The public vote is significant in view of what might happen in case the bill, which is now in Senate Committee, is passed. If a party worker were to be arrested for soliciting funds from Government employees — a practice of longstanding up to now—would public opinion consider the infraction serious enough for punishment? While much would, of course, depend on the circumstances of the case, the vote in today’s survey indicates that sentiment would likely be in favor of carrying out the law.

Two Arguments Against

The body of voters opposed to the Hatch “reform” marshal two main arguments. They declare, first, that since “Government workers depend on their party for jobs, it is perfectly legitimate for the party to demand support from them”; and second, that Government workers owe it to themselves to contribute funds because “if they don’t and if the party loses an election, they will be left out in the cold.” Arguments in favor of the Hatch proposal, as gleaned from the comments of voters upholding the bill, are that the present practice puts “unfair pressure” on the Govern-! ment employe, tends to encourage | party graft and bribery, and “puts a price on jobs.”

Cuts Across Party Lines

A comment typical of many in the survey was: “A man shouldn’t have to buy his job.” Sentiment on the Hatch proposal cuts across party lines, the poll results show. Of the Republican voters reached in the survey, 82 per cent. declared soliciting should be prevented, and the same sentiment was expressed by an overwhelming

‘majority of Democrats—173 per cent.
