4TH TERM FIGHT]
Spangler Offers Short ~~ Campaign If FDR Won't Run.
By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 12—Republican charges that President Roosevelt wants renomination in 1944 promised today to encourage hesitant congressmeéh | to take a chance on an anti-fourth term resolution.
‘There are hbuse and senate precedents for that. Chairman Harrison | E. Spangler of the Republican national committee, in an open letter to Demo.|cratic Chairman Frank C. Walker,
- {said the country believed Mr. Roose-
velt and the Democratic committee were conducting a fourth term campaign. Mr. Spangler said the alleged campaign was hindering the war effort. and that unless it was disavowed the country would be confronted by the longest and most intensive presidential campaign in history.

Recalling Mr. Walker's recent
| suggestion that the 1944 campaign
be a short one, Spangler offered to i! make a short campaign agreement provided that the Democratic committee chairman would assure the country that Mr. Roosevelt “will not under any circumstances accept a nomination for a fourth term.” There is not even a remote possibility that Mr. Walker will be able to give Mr. Spangler any assurances on the fourth term question. Whatever Mr. Roosevelt's intentions may be, it is generally recognized that he probably would take the position that to eliminate himself from the race would weaken his position ‘in conducting our relations with foreign governments, most of which involve commitments extending beyond the end of his present term. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.) and others threatened during the third term debate to offer an anti-third term resolution, but failed to do so because of doubt that it would carry.
First Passed in 1875
This year, however, if all 208 house Republicans voted for such a resolution, they would need the help of only 10 bolting, anti-New Deal Democrats for a bare majority. In the senate, 11 anti-New Dealers could join with 38 Republicans to obtain a majority of one. Such slim margins would not be impressive, however, The house passed one in 1875 during Ulysses 8S. Grant's second administration by a .vote of 234 to 18. Grant's managers, however, after a lapse of four years, sought a third nomination with Grant's permission, but dark horse James A. Garfield finally got it. In August, 1927, when the late Senator Simeon 'D. Fess -of Ohio was trying to “draft” the late Calvin Coolidge, the senate dug the 1875 resolution out of the house files and passed it by a vote of 61 to 26.

Mr. Gavit, who is on leave of absence as dean of Indiana University Law school, said deferments on the basis of “essential jobs” would be left largely up on regional selective service officials.

WASHINGTON, April 12 (U.P.).— Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard told congress today that enactment of the Pace bill to include farm labor costs in parity computations would start an ‘inflationary spiral, “the result of which it is impossible to even estimate.” Testifying before the senate. agriculture committee ‘on the houseapproved bill, Wickard said the bill's passage would result in a 14 per cent increase in parity and would work harm to all classes, particularly to farm people. He estimated that the bill would result in an increase of 10 per cent in food costs within 12 to 15 months —and that would only be the start of the inflationary spiral.
Gains of Paper Variety
Declaring that enactment of the bill would' “change parity into a rubber yardstick,” Wickard said that. apparent gains for most groups would be only paper “gains, while losses in purchasing power to families with fixed or low incomes would be immediate and real. “A stable concept of parity is a key log in our ' present barrier against headlong inflation,” Wickard said. “Enactment of the Pace bill

OPA to Set. Limit on Prices

Restaurants May © Charge.
|, WASHINGTON, April 12 (U. P.).
—The office of price administration today set out to control the cost of “eating* out” by authorizing ceiling prices on restaurant meals. But officials admitted that al-
[though they can set maximum ‘|prices for the cost of a restaurant
dinner, they have virtually no control over the size of portions or the quality of the food. The machinery set up for the new . OPA program establishes a precedent. It will he under the control of regional OPA administrators who will issue a local freeze order only after it has been determined that restaurant meals have risen in: price, reduced in quantity or deteriorated in quality.
Seeks Fewest Restrictions Possible
Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown hopes to stop the rise in the cost. of “eating out” with a premium of forced restrictions. In a letter to restaurant proprietors, he said: “The office of price administration hopes that by making every effort to insure that consumers continue to receive the greatest possible value for their money, you will make such action (issuance of maximum prices) unnecessary. Any increase in prices, reduction in quantity or deterioration of quality may, however, force the office to issue a'local freeze order, fix prices for certain food items and meals, or otherwise regulate prices.”
Last Week Is Base Period
Mr. Brown delegated {o the OPA regional directors authority to set maximum prices for food and beverages served by restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, cafes, dining cars, bars, taverns, delicatessens, soda fountains, college dining halls, boarding ‘houses, clubs, government cafeterias, school lunchrooms and all other eating and drinking places. Mr. Brown simultaneously established last week—April 4 through
‘| April 10—as the base period and
ordered every eating and drinking place in the country to file with local rationing boards by May 1 a copy of each menu or price list used during that week. The decision to “freeze” prices in effect last week or. to establish ceil-
period prices were “abnormally high,” rests with the regional OPA director. He also may establish dollars and cents maximum prices a restaurant may charge ‘for meals or for individual dishes or beverages. - - ‘
AIR RAID WARDENS PUSH PLASMA DRIVE

Approximately 215 air raid wardens attended a meeting during the week-end in the auditorium of St. Philip Neri church to prepare for the solicitation. Paul Gastineau, district warden, read a letter from Mayor Tyndall which spoke of the approaching drive as a “direct contribution to ‘the war effort” and described assistance ‘to the blood donor program as. a continuation of the wardens’ responsibility in protecting lives. ’ “The need for donors is urgent, » the mayor wrote, “and the increased quota of the
