WASHINGTON, March l4.-Sec- retary of State Cordell Hull said today that this Governments pol icy of a moral embargo against Russia, imposed by President Roo- sevelt and the State Department after the Soviet Unions invasion of Finland has not ended With the end of the Russo-Finnish war.
 Even before Hull's conference with President Roosevelt it was apparent the United States would continue the embargo in regard to Russia and no move would be made to lift the embargo.
 Fear Russian Moves
 American officials are not sure that Russia will not move again against Finland or that Russia might move against other nations in the Balkans or Near East, or that some materials might get through to Germany.
 Double Embargo
 President Roosevelt laid down the embargo on shipments of air planes and parts to Russia early in last December and later the State Department amplified this embargo to include materials going a ,to plane manufacture such as molybdenum, aluminium and also plans for the manufacture of avia- ton gasoline.

 WASHINGTON. March 1.-TWO freshman New England Senator, of dispositions as opposite as the poles, have garnered much more Congress sional attention than usually comes to initiates. Both are Republicans.
 Already, Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, the gentleman of the loud voice and mile-a-second speech, has dug up something for Republicans to yell about with his attack on housing questions in the census.
 What right, he asked, has the government to send census takers into the homes of their neighbors to ask how large is the mortgage plaster on the house, what is the interest rate, and is there bath or shower in the home?
 Eagerly, Republicans took it up on both ends of the Congress when the appropriation bill came up for money for the census.
 "A fundamental principle of liberty is involved here" cried red-faced Representative Reed of New York. There is no more sacred place than the American home"
 Promptly, Democratic members pointed out that sacred as the home is, man must file a record of his mortgage at the county courthouse where all may read.

 Tobey looks just like the lead gun-bearer in that famous paint ing of an early-day Pilgrim group headed for church through the snow and Indians. The lines of his face are long, up and down.
 He has had legislative experience about as long as the next mans, extending back into the House and Senate of his home state legisla- ture. Incidentally, he was at dif- ferent times speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representa- tives and President of the State Senate.
 He hasn't proved himself so ready on rough and tumble de- bate as yet. He reads a speech to the Senate at breakneck speed and dashes back to his office for more study.
