COMPROMISE
International News Service

One of the biggest barriers to
agreements on a new neutrality
policy was believed circumvented
today by the Senate Foreign Rela-
tionS Committees action in reach
ing an apparent settlement of the
freedom of the seas" issue
Members of the Senate NUM-
tons Committee and a minority
group on the Foreign Relations
Committee have approved modi-
fication of the Administrations
bill. 1t calls for this countryS
maintenance of its traditional
freedom of the seas policy and
simultaneously provides a condi-
tional refusal of governmental
protection of American shippers
to belligerentS. d.
Authority to President
The revised bill would give the
President authority to withdraw
protection from American COM
merce to warning nations while
at the same time declaring to the
nations of the world that the
United States still demands free
dom of the seas" Thus, while
shippers would send their goods
to warning nations lat their own
risk" and without having any
right to demand Government pro-
lection of their shipments, the
Government at any time could
step in and protect its commerce.
On the one hand, American
shippers would be unable to
drag" the United States into any
foreign war by claiming their
rights had been violated by a
warning nation. On the other,
without any complaint from ship
perS, the Government itself could
take any necessary action to de-
fend its belief in freedom of the
seas"
All Rights Reserved
Under the latter alternative, it
could send warships to protect air
lanes and convoy American ships.
1t could declare war on an offend
ing nation. Or it could sit back,
await the end of hoStilities and
demand damages for injury to
American commerce.
The committee will meet again
tomorrow with Secretary of State
Hull and his aides for further con-
sideration of the bill. Senator
Patman CD of Nevada, chair
man, said he expected the commit
tee would report it out next week.

Famed Women Insist They Work Best When
They Are Called Upon to Assist Their Husbands
BY MARY MARGARET MBRIDE

NEW YORK, Feb. 24-(NEA)
L ' Wives of great men all re-
mind us we can make a serious
mistake by introducing them
merely as somebody's wife these
days when they swing a booming
career with one hand and an eff
GENTLY managed, exquisite home
with the other.
Take for instance Helene Thi-
mig, Lotte Lenja, Alma SCHNEIDER
and Frances Waite. These four
well-known career women have
married names that you will also
recognize instantly.
Helene Timing Is Mrs. Max
Reinhardt. Lotto Lenja is the
wife of Kurt WE'LL, the composer.
Miss Waite is married to Norman
Bel Geddes, designer, and Alma
SCHNEIDER is Mrs. Franz Werfel.
Interestingly enough, the four
husbands are associated in the
production of the great biblical
spectacle, The Eternal Road"
and so are the four wives!
Miss Timing is to play the dra-
matte leading role Cher American
debut. Miss Lenja will have the
leading singing part. Miss Schird-
Ter, composer, was chief literary
assistant to ner husband, Franz
Werfel, while he was writing
1.-THE Eternal Road" and also
THE Forty Days of Musa Dagh,"
which is still a best seller.
Miss Waite, designer, has COL
laborated with Norman Bel
Geddes in the costuming of $50
persons in the cast of the piece.
All the wives declare that they
enjoy their work better when
they can be associated at the
same time with their own hus-
bands.
XOU would think that slender,
l. blond Mrs. Reinhardt would
have fuu-time job managing her
East Side penthouse and taking
care of her husband, for his per-
sonal habits and the inverted life
of the theater make for very spe-
cial home making problems.
Thus, Mr.. Reinhardt always
works at night, preferably from 10
until dawn. and so il is his Wife'S
job during part of the day to see
that he gets much needed sleep.
He is an epicure, too, and will eat
and drink only certain things. His
wife, of course, has to see that
these preferences are looked after.
In addition, she serves him in an
advisory capacity on directorial
matters in the theater
Reinhardt, in his turn, assists
his wife's career. He has directed
almost all the productions. in

Mr. Ward says. Fish that were
kept in outdoor aquariums in the
usually sufficient three feet of
water, this year were frozen.
Birds had to be kept at least
three feet away from windows to
insure their safety from cold
drafts. This cold spell would
kill the hardest of cage birds if
they were neglected and left in
drafty places too close TO win
dows," Mr.. Ward explained.
Diets had TO be varied acc ord-
ing TO the weather changes. Dried
worms, tropical flies and ant eggs
