 While sick soldiers were pinched and actually blue to their finger tips with the bitter cold. steamfitters, sup posedly equipping the hospital wards with steam heat. were gambling and warming themselves over their gaso- line torches. Poole told the committee.
 He asserted that he weather was so cold the nurses wore their furs when they tended the sick and the doctors wore their sheepskin- lined coats and the patienfs had no heat whatsoever.
 Poole, who was en ployed by the 4. Bentley X Sons company of Toledo as a carpenter foreman at the base hos pital, characterized t,e attitude of the steanifitters as "disloyal" and as the .tyyOrgt'' ha had ayar oaa1

WOULD ENpANGER TREATY

TO open the way for such move after a ratification vote had been taken would mean upsetting Senate rules en- tirely. Mr. Lodge declared, adding that if the treaty's friends voted against ratification with the commit tee resolutions they would place the treaty "in grave danger"
 Although Senator Hitchcock did not definitely announce it his intention to help vote down the committee reson- tion, he argued that such course, fol- lowed by presentation of compromise measure would be logical and fair, Supporting this stand Senator Pitt man. of Nevada, another democratic member of the committee, said he never would vote for the treaty if the com mittee reservations went in.
 Senate parliamentarians said there was no precedent to throw light on the question of whether defeat of the committee resolution would be a final rejection of the treaty or would leave the way open for offering other rati- fication proposals. Late in the day Senators Lodge and Hitchcock con ferred with Vice President Marshall on the subject. and it was said a par iiamentary battle undoubtedly would developed when the ratification stage was reached.
