FOREIGN AFFAIRS BATTLE KEEPS TWO SENATOR'S Up
 IN REAL FIGHTING FORM
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. g. = The question of isolation vs. aiding the democracies" turns spotlight on a pair of elder statesmen in the Sen ate who have been in the forefront of every battle on such a question since the World War.
 They are Borah of Idaho and Johnson of California.
 The Borah-Johnson isolationists have been trying to sound out the Administration to learn whether any kind of commitment has been made or implied that would compel the United States, in order to save it's face, to aid France and England in event of war.
 Publicly they have been told that no such commitments exist and that the agreement by which France and England are able to buy planes here is simply a com mercial transaction. From behind closed doors of the White House and the Senate Military Affairs Committee have come intimations that more was intended.

 In their method of debate they are as opposite as possible. Where Borah's argument is likely to be presented calmly, Johnson's state ments boil out like slag from blast furnace. He gesticulates with both hands at times, although be it said the cool, icy, part in his hair is never ruffled

JOHNSON IN FORM


 Do you not think the American people, with their experience of the past 20 years, should be informed. y asked Senator Johnson, If their rulers are going to take them even to the brink of war?"
 The Californian, whose bronze face is set out like a cameo under his parted crop of white hair, was bristling with indignation. Not since the post-World War days when he swung stout club at the League of Nations had he appeared quite so stirred, although he stirs easily on matters of for eign affairs.
 Borah was seriously ill in hos pital at the time of the outbreak on the Senate floor but we had talked to him only a few days be- fore and his own ire was up no less than Johnson's. Both are in their early seventies and have suffered serious illnesses in recent years but they could not keep out of a foreign affairs battle if it were certain to mean the end of them.
