 To date, 36 floor speeches have been made in the senate debate, of which a majority favored retaining the arms embargo. Approximately one-third supported the adminis- tration.
 Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.. T., Mass, said that he planned to press for an amendment to modify restric- tions on shipping to Canadian ports Under his plan, freedom would be given to this country's merchant marine in trading with Canadian ports located in such areas as the Bay of Fundy and other inland wa ters. Under the proposed bill, Am. erican shipping to belligerents would be prohibited on the Atlantic above New Orleans and Jacksonville, Fla.

Neb. planned to offer an amendment t exempt Canadian trade from the bills provisions requiring transfer ol title before goods could be shipped They contended that if American vessels on the Great Lakes were per mitted to bring Canadian goods t America without credit restrictions 1t would be incongrous to place any restraints on American made good moving to Canada.

There can be no question about the resentment within Republican ranks at the Upson-Pape leader ship. Party members in many cases claim that their leaders have tossed away the chances of the victory that seemed so certain only . short time ago. They feel that an open break within tho party could have been avoided by more astute handling of the intra- party problems.

MT. McGurk, with his strong lab- 0r backing, probably would have been . stronger candidate than either MT. Bernier or MT. Bergin. His chances for the nomination, however, went out the window when MT. Upson said "No."
 The Upson-Pape ticket offers no woman as . candidate for impor- tant office. The only women nomi- mated at all are two candidates for the board of education.

The Upson-Pape strategy in de- ciding on MT. Foster Is obvious. He was picked purposely as an "un- known" the party leadership de- ciding that its best bet in this campaign would be to offer . new fhce, that of . candidate not known to politics or public life to any great extent. He was picked also so that the mantle of the late Sherwood Rowland could be drap- cd across his shoulders and the voters could be appealed to in this fashion.

Politics
 in Passing
By RAYMOND ,. FTTzPATR1cK

XUe d. warren OpSOkl~ W AAAnAh Ss pape leadership of the Republican urRanization in Waterbury will be ct stake in Waterbury at the city election, Nov. IA. There is scarcely any doubt that if the Republicans fail to carry the city in the elec- ton that the opposition to MT. Upson within the party will be re- doubled and that his resignation will be demanded. The upson- Pape group picked the entire Re- publican ticket; @ defeat for the ticket will be a crushing blow to their prestige.
 Even Republicans who are strongly Organization" in their leaning admit that the c. o. F. ticket being offered the electorate is hand-picked. Some of them pri- vately shake their heads discon- solately as they think about elec- taon day.
 The selection of Charles c. Fos- ter as candidate for mayor was done at the bidding of MT. Upson and MT. Pape. As was remarked iM this column last week, the s'build. up" technique was employed e make MT. Foster the 'fdeaP' candidate, with the Republican and American using their news columns to indicate in no uncer- tain terms the belief of their pub fisher that Mir. Foster should be the nominee. The Upson-Pape alli- ance must necessarily stand or fall on the Foster candidacy.
 The absurdly small-boyish tac- tics of the Republican city con- vention in failing to nominate a candidate for city clerk certainly did not react to the benefit of the party. Nor can the Republicans, without making themselves ridicu- lous, talk about the Democratic leadership being a ruthless ma chine. There was never a better Illustration of machine politics than in the selection of the Re- publican slate of candidates; the organization even gave its dele gates typewriter lists of those for whom to vote. (The lists, mel dentally, were used)

Orson W.eIIes Getting to Know
Ills Way Around Congress

his voice took on the rich timber
that makes his radio performances
so credible-the commercial theater
feels it can't sustain itself without
the Federal theater.
THE commercial theater," he
said, "has been on the skids for a
long time. The only important thing
that has contributed new life, new
audiences, new forms and new ideas
has been the Federal theater."
Answering the argument launched
against the project by the Con-
gressmen who read titles like 'Up in
Mabel's Room" as an indication of
the frivolity of works presented by
the Federal theater, Mr.. Welles
pointed out that when q company
Is sent out on trucks to tour the
country you don't expect them to
play Hamlet"
Tugs at Beard.
"And one Of the main functions
OF the Federal theaters," he added,
is to win audiences back to the
theater, where they can see living
people perform. Those audiences
won't come to see Hamlet"
The project, he said, has found
brand-new audiences. Sixty per
cent of their audience, he explained,
had never seen play before. He
also pointed out that every one in
the theater from the fashioned
managers to "the guys who pull the
curtain" want to preserve the Fed
eral theater.
AS he talked with reporters, he
tugged at the beard he grew for
Five Kings" In which he appeared
in Washington not long ago.
1--WE been playing a rajah in
vaudeville" he explained, and it
was easier to keep this than using
glue all the time"
But he's not going to shave it now.
