LUDLOW SCORES THIRD TERM, BUT HE WON'T BOLT

Continues to Push His War Referendum; Is It Minton | Vs. Willkie? |

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July -— On| June 20, 1939, Rep. Louis Ludlow | (D. Ind) followed the lead of Sen-| Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind) and took a strong stand against a third term Today he again is following the senior Senator in stating that he is| Democrat who will not bolt the party for Wendell L. Willkie, despite the fact that President Roose- | velt’s renomination tosses the third term tradition into the discard | In his statement a vear ago, Rep Ludlow said: I not only do not favor a third term for President Roosevelt, or any other President, but I am even against a second term. My patron in politics is Thomas Jefferson and he favored a single term of SIX years, despite the fact that he served two terms as President himself “I should like nothing better than to see a single six-vear term made constitutional.” { Explains Stand

However, I am a Democrat and will stick with my party, seek re-election and trust that T may aid in guiding it back to Jeffersonian ideals.” A similar stand was taken by Sen- | VanNurs So it seems that Thomas Jeffer-|

Rules on Dress

WASHINGTON, July 27 (U.P). —U. S. Army officers are going to be too busy learning defense to have time for consulting the manual on how to dress, the War Department indicated today in revising some of its regulations, No longer must Army officers adhere to the strvict dictates of numbered paragraphs in regulations decreeing that on such and such an occasion they must wear the natty blue and white dress uniform. Only when an officer goes to the White House for a formal occasion must he abide by the rule book, The reason for this, the Army explained, is that in its present intensive training many officers are being transferred from large established posts to temporary duty at distant training camps and cities. Under such field service conditions dress uniforms might not be entirely appropriate.

ARMY 2 WEEKS AHEAD IN DRIVE

Rumors That Recruiting Lags Prove False; 95,000 More to Be Sought.

WASHINGTON, July 27 (NEA) Contrary to what you've been hearing, the U. S. Army is not having a lot of trouble getting a big batch of recruits. Enlistments right now are coming in at 6000 a week, and the drive to reach a total enlisted strength of 280,000 by the end of August as approximately two weeks ahead of schedule. Rate of recruitments has been increasing steadily for the past two or three months. As soon as it reaches the 280.000 level, the Army has to begin a new campaign, taking on 95,000 more men so as to reach the authorized maximum of 375,000. Schedule calls for completion of this job by the end of the year, and present indications are that goal will be reached. CCC Competition Slight Reports about the lag seem to have originated in the Second Corps Area, centering around New York City. It's true that few (comparatively) are signing up there, but that's nothing new, for some reason New York never has been a good hunting ground. Best places to get recruits are the Third Crop Area, comprising Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia; the Fourth, which takes in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee; the Fifth, which includes Ohio, West Virginia, Ine diana and Kentucky, and the Eighth, which is made up of Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. These areas more than make up for New York, Some Army officers have complained that the Civilian Conservation Corps camps offer too much competition, in that they take young men from the same general age levels, offer them six-month enrollments (which can be broken off whenever the enrollee lands a job) and pay them $30 a month as compared with the Army's $21. The recruiting branch denies this competition hurts; besides, it contacts the CCC lads when their terms are about to expire, and signs up a lot of them anyhow. Army Wants More Glamour Only real trouble is that the average civilian doesn’t think the Army has much glamour, Movie companies are helping remedy this by making plenty of newsreel shorts; also, in recent weeks the mechanized outfits seem to have taken on an air of romance, and recruits for that branch aren’t hard to get. But the Navy still has the edge in the matter of popular ape peal.
