Foreman McNally expressed hope the excavation would be finished before night, and the main blockade in the sewer relieved by digging up the pipe.

With the main stoppage relieved, he hoped it would be possible to blow out any obstructions in the line further south. While the sewer serves principally the laundry, other near properties are connected, McNally has found, and the laundry thus was not the sufferer from the stoppage today. Mr. Gaddis said some of the laundry work interrupted today was for defense plants, and, that for this reason, he was anxious to get the washing operations resumed.

Sen. Vantienberg Urges Two-Term Amendment WASHINGTON, April 6, Vandenberg Michigan, advocated in the Senate today the adoption of a constitutional amendment to prohibit anyone from serving more than two four-year terms in the presidency "in keeping with the immortal spirit, of Thomas Jefferson." When Vandenberg read from a Jefferson letter of 1807 suggesting a Umlt on the tenure of one man In the presidency, Senator Guffey, Pennsylvania, replied with the remark that there are "plenty of quotations and writings" from Jefferson after that. dale. The Jefferson letter Vandenberg read said: "If some period he not fixed, either by the Constitution or by sractice, to the services of the first magistrate, his office, though nominally elected, will, in fact, be for life nnd that will soon degenerate into an inheritance." and Wickard by Chairman Smith, but aides of the two officials denied this. Manning Shaw, executive assistant to Brown, told reporters he had sought to have the price administrator excused from appearing before the committee today because of other engagements, and suggested that he appear later in the week, preferably Thursday, At the agriculture department an aide said Secretary Wickard, upon learning that Price Administrator Brown and Food Administrator David did not plan to appear today, asked' the committee to allow him delay in giving his testimony until the other officials appeared.

The aide said Wickard thought the postponement was agreeable with the committee. The committee went into a closed session from which Senator Aiken (R-Vt) emerged subsequently to say that Brown and Wickard had been informed that if they did not appear they would be served with subpoenas and forced to do so. Brown arrived on the scene a few minutes later, but Wickard was not on hand. Although Brown said he was ready to testify, the committee decided it did not have time to hear him fully before noon, when the Senate had arranged to begin debate on the Bankhead veto. At 11:15 a.

The deep penetration occurred in an area where the Chinese have presented a constant threat to ma- jor Japanese rail communications, particularly the line running from Tsigtao on the Yellow Sea to thc inland river port town of Tsinan.

Chairman Smith (D-SC) of the Senate agriculture committee, an advocate of overriding the veto, conceded that the result was in doubt, thus indicating a major shift in sentiment since the Senate passed the bill originally by a vote of 78 to 2. This change was attributed in some quarters to a furious buttonholing campaign conducted by both sides, supplemented with mail and telephone calls. As an instance, Senator Taft (R- Ohio), who has not yet committed himself on the veto, said he had received telephone calls from six Ohio industrialists, all Republicans, asking him to support the President's position.
