sfnandS-off" policy or tne VAAs> House in the executive debate. B Probably Last Week
 Majority Leader Alben W. Bark lev of Kentucky called the Senate to meet at Il a. n., an hour carrier than usual, to begin the fourth, and possibly the last, week of debate or repeal. A vote may be reached late in the week. ,
 Leaders of the Isolationist blot continued to denounce repeal. Sen William E. Borah, R., Ida. criticized Lord Lothian, British ambassador tc the United States, for what Boran said was his activity in behalf oi repeal.
 In a radio address last night, he said Great Britain had opposed the erabargo from the start and that Lord Lothian with some degree of pride must look down from the Senate gallery, if he designs to visit that humble scene, and note the progress toward repeal of the law he so early and boldly denounced"
 Close Vote In House
 The Isolationist Senate fight IS expected to be the preliminary to a closer vote in the House, which last session passed a modified neutrality bill which retained the arms em- bareo. Administration leaders in the lower chamber said privately that they have only 20-vote maj ority.
 s In the Senate an informal Unit ed Press roll gave the administra- tion 6l votes, with 28 senators op- posing and seven doubtful. Admin istration spokesmen claimed that on a final vote they will have the SUD- port of nearly 70 senators.
 Barkley said he would make ar1- other effort today to obtain limi- tation on debate in an effort to reach a final vote before Saturday. Republican Leader Charles P. Me- Nary of Oregon blocked limitation proposal Saturday, but indicated that he may agree to one today.
 Longer Sessions Maybe
 Barkley said longer sessions would be held all week unless some limi- tation is agreed upon. He proposed to limit debate to one hour on the bill itself and to 30 minutes on amendments.
 Sen. Bennett Champ Clark, D. Mo-, a leader of the Isolationist bloc told reporters that he would offer an amendment to prohibit exports of any munitions fin which the United States army and navy are deficient"
 "I don't see how anyone can ob- ject to such proposal" he said adding that it was designed to pre- vent the sale of supplies needed for this country's defense.
 Clark and Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R. N. D., were to make long speeches in the Senate today. Each has spoken before, but Nye desires tc reply to the administration argu- ment presented last week by Bark icy and Clark wants to discuss his proposal to compel the president te prevent armed merchantmen of bell ligerent nations from entering this country's ports.
 Isolationists, pointing their battle toward the House, indicated that they desired a vote in the Senate Friday or Saturday SO that they could have the weekend in which to organize their full strength in the House. Many House members are absent.

4 little ksarcasm now and then is in du1ged iR by the best of men. For in stance, we found the fo1l owing tale in the Fairbanks Alaska Minor:
 "Women have acute powers of observa- ion. They are almost bird-1ike in that respect. The little things overlooke by men are instantly spotted by women and furni sh the fuel for conversation turnout long and tedi ous train rides, boat jour neys and plane flights. For instance, take the casr of the lady trapper who came to the Fur Rendezvous from the Little Su- sitna country.

trail-side shelters, in tents, in farm
houses or under the stars; whether
you'll cook at established camp sites or
tote your own stove - all these details
influence the nature of your pack. The
best advice is to include in your party
at least one member who's had actual
experience on the trail.
Clothing is the smallest problem.
Your surplus can generally be limited
to one change of underwear; two
changes of socks: and. possibly. an
extra shirt. laundering as you 60. A
pair of moccasins or sneaks should be
in the pack. And as for pajamas. some
hikers carry them; some take the
trousers only; many. especially in the
mountains where the temperature
drops from August to November every
twenty four hours, sleep in their
clothes and hang them up to air when

For rain protection it is best to buy
rainproofed togs and to rely on a
poncho instead of raincoat. Those
made of sailcloth, oiled silk or air
plane cloth don't crack or peel.
The matter of bedding is moot
question, but l prefer sleeping bag
to blankets. These tags come as light
as three pounds and warm enough for
temperature of 40 below. An air mat
tress seems unnecessary if you can bed
down on pine boughs. and if you'll roll
UP your jacket you won't need an air
pillow
Some sundries that merit mention
are: hatchet in scabbard: hunting
knife, sheathed. to serve for table knife
and jackknife; a combination can
and-bottle opener; extra matches in
waterproof container: flashlight; one
or two short candles; metal plate and
cup (some prefer paper; simple fork
and spoon rather than trick combina-
tions; combination salt-and-pepper
shaker; soap papers (Which provide
twenty-five washes to book; un-
breakable mirror; folding grid or CRATE

fresh food; two-quart canteen; sheet OF

tale; gauze bandage and iodine; pack

as tooth powder or an antiseptic for
bites and burns. or an indigestion
remedy: chlorine or other water
sterilizing tablets for use in doubtful
country.
Food advice would be superfluous;
suffice it to say that you want maxi
mum of nutrition in minimum OF
space. So look into the dozen or more
dehydrated fruits and vegetables avail
able and consider the advantages OF
bouillon cubes. soup rolls, malted-milk
tablets. tabloid tea. instant" coffee.
powdered eggs, milk, etc. It's foolish
to lug water in your food when you
don't have to; so consider any expe-
dent that will keep your pack under
the sane maximum of twenty-five
pounds.
However, the most vital rule at the
moment is to shake off the soporific
influence of that easy chair and get
going That great scuff1ing you hear is
the impatient rustling of a million
Americans trying on their boots.
There's pleasure afoot for those
who will toddle after it. So let's go!

Hostelers. incidentally, figure on dol
lar-a-day budget for hiking.
Membership in this group costs So
a year and entities pass holders to
hosteling privileges in both this coun-
try and Europe. In "hosteling" over
an established chain or loop it is
usually unnecessary to carry bedding
or cooking equipment or much food.
As far as the National Parks are
concerned. you can get free booklet
from the National Park Service.

and camping facilities and costs in
each of twenty-six different parks. The
duffel you must provide and the equip
ment available vary somewhat in diff
ferent locations, but generally you
have to bring only your own wearing
apparel. Rates usually include guide
or cook and pack animals to carry the
burdens - but these extras" are not
obligatory.
General advice on what to carry on
hiking trip is pretty hopeless without
knowledge of the governing factors.
The number in party to share the
load is important; so is the prevailing
altitude. In country where you can

wear them well, usually mean a crop
of briar scratches on the dimpled knees.
The most important detail of all,
however, is footgear - and you'd bet
ter not make any mistakes there! The
advantages of wearing two pairs of
socks can't be overemphasized for
novices: silk, preferably white. next to
the skin; thick wool over that. Believe
it or not, this is cooler in the heat and
warmer in the cold than single pair, :
because of the insulation of an extra
air layer. The bulk provides the foot
with a cushion inside the shoe and
eases the discomfort of long walk.
If could give new hiker only one bit
of advice, this would be it!
Ordinary street shoes are not usually
satisfactory for hiking because they
fit too well; - you will understand the
paradox when you start walking down.
hill and your toes begin to rub. Hiking
shoes should be at least size larger
than you normally wear and should be
fitted over your thick socks. Get them
snug in the heel and easy across the
instep, but with some free space be-
tween the end of your big-toenail and
the tip of the shoe. And you'd better
break them in a little before your first
long tramp.
have seen many novices out hiking
in sneakers. but that isn't to be recon-
mended. They do have good grip on
certain kinds of fiat rock, but one stone
bruise through sneaker sole will give
you misery for days. Women, espe-
cially, favor lightweight shoes for
walking; that is misconception.
as evidenced by the fact that real
Alpine climbing shoes, after genera
tions of experiment, are made to weigh
around seven pounds. In other words,
light weight is the least important
element of walking shoe.
Another mistake I've seen beginners
make on the trail is the very natural
business of soaking the feet in some
refreshing mountain stream after four
or five hours of tramping. Washing the
feet in cold water after long march is
excellent practice - indeed, it is army
routine But prolonged soaking softens
the tissues and breeds trouble, regard
less of how good it feels at the moment.
In the matter of distances and
speeds, the best advice for new hikers
is to take it easy. A ten-minute rest
every hour is better than a thirty
minute stop after three hours. And
those who start out With the idea that
four miles per hour is normal pace
are due for a surprise. Unless you're in
good condition, three miles an hour is
fast enough for level terrain; one to
two miles an hour is good on climb
ing trail. Indeed, on steep trail you
should be content with pace of 1000
to 800 feet per hour.
Generally the first two miles are
the hardest" After that the miles click
off easier. Eight to ten miles day is
reasonable enough for healthy novices,
and twenty-five miles with pack is
not considered severe by the expert
enced - in fairly level country, of
course.
The questions Where to Go? and
What to Take? can only be answered in
generalities here. For local hiking most

LHT-BILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
MILLIONS OF AMERICAN HOMES
BY BERNARR MAcFADDEN in April Liberty

When history views the colos-
sal blunders of the present ad-
miniStration and counts the cost,
the stupendous sum in dollars
and cents viii be staggering.
But one man, IN addition 10 be-
ing the principal source of losses
amounting to billions, viii also
have to put on the debit side of
his record the loss of millions of
American homes.
Secretary Wallace, with his
plOwing-under procedure, his
CHARITY handouts TO the farmers,
is undoubtedly a pleasing person
ality, Ikable fellow. In his
school days he unquestionably
had dreams of making the world
over in accordance with his theo-
rieS. But he is largely TO blame
for the loss of large part Of our
foreign cotton market that would
easily amount TO hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars. He probably will
have to take a part of the blame
for the hundreds of millions
which the government now has
invested in millions of bales of
cotton stored away, which the adj
ministration viii have to market
some day at a give-away bank
rupf price.
( But leaving out altogether the
huge losses in dollars and cents
that can be credited to Secretary
Wallace'S dream ideals, suppose
we consider for a moment the
hack -to-the farm IN owe IN e n
which he is credited with destroy
ing altogether. He maintained
there were enough people on the
land already. The farmers could
not sell their present products
why add TO this difficulty by
increasing the output? He prob
ably concluded the farmers would
rather pay additional taxes ncccs-
sary- to support the unemplOy-
ed on the dole than allow them
to work for their own subsistence
on a iberal-sized home garden.
And that is said to be Secretary
Wallace's reason for killing the
movement that would have given
millions of our people homes in
