NEUTRALITY FIGHT
LOOMS IN SENATE
Pope and Clark Advocate
Mandatory Embargo, but
Borah Differs.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Increasing signs Of a forthcoming
Senate joust on the question Of
neutrality legislation appeared today
on Capitol Hill.
Joined in advocacy Of extending the
law to make 1t mandatory on the
President to halt arms and munitions
shipments to warning nations were
Senators Pope, Democrat, Of Idaho.
and Clark, Democrat, Of Missouri.
On the other hand, Senator Borah,
Republican, Of Idaho, former Senate
Foreign Relations Committee chair
man, has steadfastly opposed any plan
which would hamper normal trade.
He Is represented as willing to 20
along with restrictions on war-stimu-
lated commerce.
Pope Differs With Borah.
Pope seeks new power for the Presi-
dent or an administrative board which
would authorize discretionary action
in stopping shipments of materials
such as coal, oil, iron, steel and cot
ton.
Differences Of opinion between the
two Idaho Senators, both of whom
are members of the Foreign Relations
Committee, are seen in Pope's state
ment that vague principles Of free
dom of the seas, in my opinion, should
give way before the urgency of keep
ing this country out of war;"
An advocate Of League Of Nations
adherence, Pope declared the idea Of
American cooperation in the enforce
ment Of sanctions against Italy "is so
abhorrent to some that it is unlikely
such q step could be taken"
Clark Backs Arms Embargo.
Senator Clark urged. preservation Of
the present arms embargo, which ex-
pires at the end Of February. He
described as mot only no good. but
dangerous" any plan to give the
President authority to embargo ship
nents to only one belligerent.
Enforcement of League sanctions
against only one country, such as
Italy. Clark said, would be "an act
Of war" Without mandatory prohi-
bition of shipments Of arms to both
belligerents. he insisted, the pressure
on any President would be so great
that we would most likely do what
was done In the last war-drift into it
to protect our trade investments"

BY the Associated Press.
The Securities Exchange Commis-
sion yesterday studied recommended
tions of its experts urging more exact
definition of the trading functions Of
members Of stock exchanges.
The commission must report to Con-
gress by January on the question Of
the segregation of broken dealer func-
tions Brokers are those who buy
stocks for others, and dealers those
who trade for themselves.
At present, both activities often are
engaged in by the same person. This
situation was criticized in Congress as
making questionable the ability Of the
broker to act entirely in the interest Of
the public when he may be trading
himself in particular stock.
The commissions experts have
Joined in the general proposition of
segregating these functions. but are
in disagreement as to when the sep
aration should be made.
Some favor quick action. Others
would continue present practices for
an indefinite period. Still others would
lay out a fairly definite program to
achieve segregation over q period Of
years.

A news carrier walked past and
Baron bought an Evening Star
Through force Of habit, as had been
the occasion In the past week, he
turned to the want ads. Hastily he
scanned the items. A small insert
caught his eye-"Wanted-Fairly ro-
bust heavy-set man, who can appear
jovial, to act as Santa Claus-Ennis
Department Store"
Visions Of Christmas, his wife, baby
and home rose before him. He re-
membered Joseph Ennis, the presi-
dent Of the store. He had talked to
him many times.
r n
EVER since he was q kid his family
had traded at the Ennis Emporium.
His wife always purchased her needs
for the baby and the home there.
Here was thought! Why not ap-
ply for the job? He had talent as an
amateur at his old firms theatricals.
With false beard and a costume he
would make a creditable Santa Claus.
Probably his wife would bring David,
their son, into the store to see Santa
Claus. Baron lost no time in visiting
the store and seeking out Joseph
Ennis, the owner.
Baron explained his situation to the
president. He almost pleaded for the
job. Ennis was impressed. He pulled
a card from his pocket and wrote
Hire Charles Baron for Santa Claus
... o. k. Joseph Ennis"
Take this card to the employment
manager" he told Baron.
The latter thanked him and hur-
ried to the main office of the store.
After a conference, Baron was in the
costume department being fitted out
for his Santa Claus job. 1t was getting
close to Christmas and Baron was to
start his new experience on the
morrow.

A WEEK Of listening to the wants
- Of children gave him many a heart
pang. He wanted to rush home every
second and embrace his own youngster
and his wife, but pride kept him back.
Every day. every second, he scanned
the long line of youngsters, hoping to
see his own. but he was disappointed.
And one day the miracle happened.
He looked down at youngster and
it was-David, his own son. Standing
beside the child was his wife. He
trembled all over. The boy was
dressed shabbily. His wife looked neat,
but a searching look at her clothes
showed they needed attention.

strained himself

ried down the street, his arms loaded
with packages, men, women and chill
dren passed him with laughter on
their lips.
RARON had doffed the bright red
costume and false beard. He
clutched in his hand tightly the key
to his home =. awkwardly he held
the key, the packages and his carfare.
He was going home E.. home for
the first time in more than q month
would they be there?
He put his packages down In the
hall and noiselessly slid the latchkey
in the door. The apartment was
dark as he picked up the packages
and brought them into the home.
1t was no task for him to find his
child's room, even though the place
was in pitch-darkness.
He crept up to the side of his little
boys bed. He could hear the child
breathing gently in the still silence.
He was Santa Claus again he
smothered kisses on the child's cheek.
The boy woke up.
Its your daddy" he said; Santa
Clause came through"
THERE was a happy family reunion
in the morning. Mrs. Baron just
sat entranced at the breakfast table

it had for the last few days ..

Eagerly he tore it open to read the
contents. It was from Joseph Ennis,
the president of the store. On ac-
count of his splendid and satisfactory
work as Santa Claus, a permanent
job in the personnel department await
ed him.
He kissed his wife and boy.

he said happily.
But he never told them he was

found out.

RANGERS GET CAGEY
FOR HOCKEY SERIES
Will Abandon Wide.0pen Play in
Stanley Cup Play-0ff-Count
on Money" Ability.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2l.-Silver-
~ haired Lester Patrick, manager
and coach OF the slumplng New
York Rangers. is counting on his Blue
Shirts reputation as money players"
to carry them through the National
Hockey League play-offs and gain the
Stanley Cup. symbol Of the world
championship.
The Rangers open their post-sea-
son competition here Sunday night in
the start of a two-game, total-goal
series between the teams which fin
ished third in their divisions.
Consider our case" suggested
Patrick. we started our season in a
slump that lasted something like seven
weeks. Then We changed goalies and
added bit of strength to our de-
fense, and for the next six weeks We
didn't lose a game, climbing from last
place to the top.
And then what happened? Start
ing with February "a and winding up
last Sunday night, We were able to win
only / game out of 10. That doesn't
span six weeks, but it comes close
enough for US to expect another re-
versal in form.
These last few weeks we've been
playing Wide-open offensive hockey.
Many times I've had five forwards on
the ice and occasionally six. After all.
the fans want action and We want to
win ball games.
We'll. those tactics weren't success
full. so we've junked them, and starting
Sunday night we're going to play
play-off hockey, which we hope will
be pay-off hockey"
What Patrick meant was that the
defense men would stick to their posts,
seldom rushing, and that the front
line would pay more attention to back
checking.
