MEN AFRAID OF LOUD (0LORS! OFFICERS OF
 U. S. ARMY HAVE LAUGH
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Fee 13. One need only see the Army on parade about capital cocktail table to chase away the blues about how women have stolen all the color in dress and driven the men to som Der black and white.
 The New York writer, Lucius Beebe, complains forlornly tha t scarcely a man lives today, except himself, who dares wear the colors of his choice. He says men are slaves who, for fear of the raillery of their women. can't escape from solemn black to powder blues, pinks, or a shirt with a dash of green.
 Among the common men, Beebe is like the fox who lost his tail; few others will join him.
 Perhaps it is hardly fair to ring in foreigners, although you should see some of the broad-ribbon wear CTS strutting about at White House receptions. The French military at taches with their red pants and sky blue tunics splashed with gold are colorful.

Prime Minister Undergoes Questioning from

(By The Associated Press)

Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain addressing the British House of Commons today hinted early recognition of the Insurgent regime as the Spanish Government but said his Government and not the Com mons will do the deciding.
 Meanwhile Insurgent guns and planes carried the civil conflict back into Central Spain, concentrating at Madrid, again the seat of Govern ment.
 Asked by Laborite Arthur Hen derson first for assurance that recognition is not contemplated and whether the House would be con- suited. Chamberlain said the rap idly changing situation forbade such assurance.
 "The Government must take re- possibility" he declared.
 Henderson also asked ''how it happened the last six air attacks were carried out last week against the then Spanish Government island of Minorca "by Italian planes" while surrender negotiations weer in progress there aboard the British cruiser Devonshire. Cham berlain responded by reading a telegram from the British Consul at Palma. Mallorca, that Franco's Bal earic Island air base had author ized him to say the attack on Minorca as lin disobedience of ord- CTS and very much regretted"

DEMOCRATIC NATIONS ARE GIVEN CHALLENGE
 IN ADDRESS BY HITLER
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-When Adolf Hitler read the riot act to the United States in the Reichstag the other day, he was challenging the democratic nations to long term struggle for supremacy in the field of world trade.
 At least observers here of the world economic scene view it that way.
 They take the view that the Ger man leader has labelled Uncle Sam his Economic Enemy No. 1. They don't think he did it because this nation is actually his greatest trade rival, but because the Hull agree ments accenting trade equality offer obstacles to the German idea of trade treaties made to serve the needs of State instead of individ- uals.
 At the same time the richest, and therefore the strongest advocate of democracy, offered to Hitler a strong contast to illustrate his re- cital of the case of the totalitarian have nots" vs. the democratic have" nations.
 In casual sort of way the trade struggle has been developing ever since the World War. The first sigr of it's coming was the ascent of Lenin's and Stalin's communism. inaugurating, as it did, economic theories previously untested by any important world power.
 After Lenin and Stalin, Musso- lini burst upon the Italian scene. limiting private capitalism, and set ting up the so-called corporate State. After Mussolini came Hitler and State socialism.

But our own army men make even Beebe in his brightest mosaics seem a retiring flower-as far as color is concerned. There isn't a woman on the reservation who can touch Uncle Sam's army officers in their new uniforms.
 Lark blue prevails but the flair is in the trimmings. Take a cap tain of artillery, for instance. His blue cap has a broad red band around it.. The red is edged with gold. His dark blue full dress coat has tails" and the trousers are a lighter shade for contrast.
 Down each trouser leg is a broad band of red braid, like an elevator operator wears but no elevator operator to our knowledge pays $75 to $50 for his pants. The deco ration on the tailed coat is even fancier. About the cuff of the sleeve is broad band of gold, then one of red, and another of gold. In terlocking loops of gold run half way to the elbow.
 The front of the tailed coat also is modelled after the regular for nal wear, but gold buttons range up either side and gold buttons fasten the white vest And. beauty of beauties, the lapels are red; not dull red either, but bright, bright like the sunburst.
 On the shoulders is more gold, twisted quoits that lay the buyer back $25 to $60, depending upon the weight

Raleigh, Feb. 20.-As the revenue
bill nears the House floor, still con-
tanning full authority for guberna-
torial diversion of highway funds, it
becomes more and more apparent
that the anti-diversion group can,
and probably will, get its very first
roll call show down on the matter
when the diversion section is reach

So far the ants have been boWled
over on every test, but on only one

then it was by no means a straight
out-and-out question of diversion or
no diversion. It was merely ques-
ton of what committee should get a
bill. everybody knew would finally
wind up in finance anyway.
There hasn't been so much talk
about the $7,OOO,000 diversion of late
and some writers have dismissed the
whole thing as settled, but there is
every prospect that the livelieSt de-
bate of all is still to come; and there
are any number of ants who'll lay
a small wager right now that on a
roll call vote of the House they can
