Doesn’t Want
To Be President
WASHINGTON, (/P> — Joseph
W- Martin, Jr., prominent bache
lor politician of North Attleboro,
Mass., earnestly expressed the
hope today that President Tru
man will continue to enjoy “the
best of health.”
The 63-year-old Republican
speaker of the House had a spe
cial reason: “I don’t want to be
President.”
He made his views known in an
interview after the House sent to
Mr. Truman a bill placing the
speaker next in line for the Pres
idency in case of vacancies in the
offices of both President and Vice
President.
Since there presently is no vice
president, Mr. Truman’s signature
on the new legislation which he
himself requested automatically
would make Martin “next in line.”
“I really mean it when I say
that I don’t want to be President,”
Martin said. “I sincerely hope
President Truman will finish out
the rest of his term.”
Mr. Truman’s present term has
about a year and a half to run.

Will Send Message
To Congress
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman today decided to send
Congress within the next ten days
a special mid-year report on the
economic outlook, including the
possible effect of John L. Lewis’
new coal wage gains on living
costs.
Presidential secretary Charles
G. Ross said this was decided at a
meeting of Mr. Truman with his
cabinet. He said the concensus of
the meeting was that there has
been “a tendency to exaggerate
the importance of the coal settle
ment on the overall wage picture.”
‘‘Of course, if prices should go
up as a result, that would be a
matter of concern,” Ross added, i

“Shall Wedding
Be Rationd?”

LONDON, (JP) — Ill-fed, ill
clothed Britons were invited today
by the widely circulated Daily Ex
press to vote on whether Princess
Elizabeth’s wedding should be sha
dowed by the rationed austerity (
under which the King’s subjects
live.
“Should there be flags and par
ties and bands and a vote from the
j public funds to make Princess
Elizabeth’s wedding day our most
colorfully festive occasion since
the coronation?’ the Express ask
ed. “Or should the austerity of
life and the government dictate an

al salute to happiness would seem
out of place?”

Roosevelt Wanted
To Be Defeated
WASHINGTON, (£>)—Franklin
D. Roosevelt asked members of
his family to vote for him for a
third term in 1940, but also told
them to pray that he would be
defeated, James A. Farley re
ported today.
The former Democratic national
chairman, in the last of a series of
articles in Collier’s on why he
broke with Roosevelt, said the
new deal President told him of
his desire to lose at a conference
July 26, 1940. That was shortly
after Roosevelt won a third nom
ination over Farley’s protest.
“Jim,” Farley reported the
President as saying, “I’ve told the
family I want them to vote for
n\e, but I also told them I wanted
them to pray I will be defeated.”
“That is the best thing that
could happen to you,’ Farley said
he replied seriously, “and I’m not
certain it won’t happen. If anyone
considers this one a walkaway he
is crazy.”

HASTINGS, Nebr. (/P) — The
new automobile ordered three

family finally has arrived. But
now the dealer must wait on the
Carpenters to accept delivery.
Carpenter and his two sons,
long without a car, had allowed
their driver licenses to lapse and
they can’t be renewed until state
patrolmen visit here again to give
driver tests. The family does not
know when that will be.
Windstorm Rips
Thru Northwest
(By The Associated Press)
Dust-laden winds, ranging in
velocity to a reported 65 miles an
hour, swept over southeastern
Washington and part of Oregon
late yesterday, leveling trees and
utility poles, unroofing buildings
and shattering hundreds of acres
of ripened wheat.
The storm, brief in duration, but
overwhelming in its intensity, ex
tended from Pendleton, Ore., to
Spokane and westward over a
vast section of eastern Washing
ton.
No casualties or injuries were
reported, but property damage
ran high.
Walla Wall county was among
the hardest hit. Grain men estim
ated a possible 3,000 acres of
wheat were shattered by dust
needles. Another 100 acres of
wheat was set afire by lighning
near the Whitman Mounment.
Two mile swest of Walla Walla, a
fallen power line started a grass
fire which destroyed the house
and barn of C. Nelson. Two cars
were smashed in a garage when
falling trees crashed into the
building. A freight car was blown
from the tracks at Lowden.
