TWO-TERM CURB PLAN
FINDS THE GOING HARD
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (UP)-
The proposal to limit a President
to two terms is finding different
gooing in State Leigslatures.
Only twenty-five states have
ratified the proposed Constitu-
tional amendment since it was
passed by Congress almost four
years ago. Eleven more ratifica-
tions are needed before it becomes
effective. If the additional ratifi-
cations have not been voted by
1954, the proposal will be dead.
The twenty-five states that have
ratified the proposal are Maine
Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, New
Hampshire, Delaware, Illinois
Oregon, Colorado, California, New
Jersey, Vermont, Ohio, Wisconsin
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Mis-
souri, Nebraska, Virginia, Missis-
sippi, New York, South Dakota
North Dakota, Louisiana and In-
diana.
Arkansas is the only state that
has voted it down.
The eleven ratifications still
needed therefore must come, if at
all, from the Legislatures of Ala-
bama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia
Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Minnesota, Montana
Nevada, New Mexico, North Caro
lina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
Utah,
Washington,
West
Virginia
and Wyoming.
The best chance for ratification
this year are in Georgia, expected
to act this week, Idaho and Wyom-
ing. Montana's Republican Legis-
lature also may approve the pro-
posal. The outlook in the rest of
the states is uncertain or against
ratification.
Even if the amendment should
be ratified before the next Presi-
dential election, which seems un-
likely, it will not affect President
Truman. Congress specifically ex-
empted the present occupant of the
White House.
