VANNUYS $1 ~ ANTI-3D TERM

So He’s Applying That Rule To Collector Will Smith |

And Fleming.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—The danger of American military involvement in war is much greater in

the Far East than In Europe, according to informed persoris here, The reasons are:

. Times Special . WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Sen“ator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind), who always has been outspoken . against a third term, said today ‘he is going to appig his ‘no third term rule” to Will H.

U.S. War Path Leads Toward Far East Rather Than Europe

Still the Japanese naval and air fleets keep edging south, gradually closing in their side of the Saigon-

Singapore-Manila triangle. Thereby the situation is being transformed from one of bluff and bluster to the deadly stuff of which sudden war is made. . BE

ister Matsuoka will allow their militarists to push expansion to the very edge of war is now clear. But some expect them to stop just before going over that cliff. This optimism, such as it is, admits the possibility that Konoye and Matsuoka may not be able to stop the advance to war if and when they try. : ‘Meanwhile, as the distance between the American-British forces and the Japanese forces diminishes, the danger of “incidents” and “insults to national honor” grows. This, rather than any war desire on the part of Tokyo or London or Washington, creates the immediate crisis. This, plus the determination of Hitler and Nazi agents in the Far East to provoke such“clashes:.

Japan Not Prepared

There is general agreement here that Japan, because of her long China conflict. and for other reasons, is ill-prepared for the threatened war. But so is the United States unprepared, and Britain's hands are full at home and in the Mediterranean. . That leads to general disagreement as to which is worse prepared. Our admirals are not as disposed as some: of our politicians to discount the Japanese Navy, when the battle would be in‘ her waters and not in ours. This does not mean our admirals are afraid. But -it ‘does mean that our Navy wants to avoid war at this time in the far Pacific—and in the Atlantic. Also, jit is reported that the: Japanese navy Opposes war. . But neither the American nor

Methodist Editor Says High Officials Back Regulation Near Camps.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20 (U.P.).~Clarence W. Hall, magazine editor of the Methodist pu tions, said today that “high-r g “War De-~ partment officials” privately indorsed a national ‘movement for control of vice and liquor conditions near Army encampments, : In an article in Christian Advocate, he said that Federal legisla-

tion appeared necessary to maintain morality among men in the

Studied 9 Camps

His findings were based on a two-and-g-half-week study of nine large encampments and nearby cities. He also talked with Government officials, including Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Gen. George C, Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U. 8. Army. “Official Washington is making some motions to help,” the article said. “A bill proposed by Rep. May (D. Ky.) aims to outlaw prostitution near the camps; the War Department high-eommand favors its passage; it stands a good chance of being enacted.” Citing examples of alleged political collusion in vice conditions near camps, Mr. Hall said the sudden spurt in money available from soldiers’ paychecks “blinded” local officials* to the duty of law enforcement,

Urges Federal Action

“Legislative action by the Federal Government . seems: to be the only answer to any widespread reform,” he said. One ‘highly placed War Department official, whom he did not identify, was quoted by Mr. Hall as saying: ‘ “My suggestion is that the chutch people of America band together, force their local governments to clean up liquor and vice conditions, and then unite with others all over the country to put up such a holy howl to Washington that Federal legislation will have to be enacted— or else.”

2 FREE TEXTBOOKS BILLS INTRODUCED

A free textbook proposal was introduced in the House today by Reps. Robert Heller (D. Decatur) and Howard Batman (D. Terre Haute), with two bills, ‘One measure would set up a free book system wtih the distribution on a per capita basis. The other asks a $600,000 appropriation annually to launch the program and keep it functioning. Under the first bill, the State Board of Education would distribute whatever funds that might be appropriated to all local school unts, so much for each pupil. The local board officials would purchase State-approved books with the funds, with the State retaining title to the books. Rep. Heller explained that with a $600,000 appropriation, free textbooks could ‘be started in some grades all over the State and the system extended to other grades each year. Even if the appropriation request were cut, the system could be launched. Both parties pledged free textbooks during the campaign.
