Tydinas Suggests We Ask BeIIigerents to
 State Terms

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Senator Willard Tydings, Democrat of Mary land, suggested today the United States ask Britain and the Axis Powers for a statement of the ccn- ditions under which each would agree to end the war.
 Given such a statement, TydingS said, this country could determine for itself whether there appeared any basis for negotiations for a just" peace.
 If there was, the United States could work toward that end, he added, while if not it would be known what country stood in the way and this nation could shape it's course accordingly
 Tydings said 1t was his opinion Q just peace would involve reStor- ation of the sovereignty of Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, Bel gium and France and possibly ere aticn of wholly Polish and Czeeho- slovakian states
 Peace must be accompanied, he said, by measure of actual as well as promised disarmament.

Senator HoIf Spikes His Career by Fighting; Shows
 How 10 Go Down inc Skids
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 = This story might be called How NOT To Become a Successful Senator or Five Years in the Life of Rush D. Holt
 If ever young man apparently spiked a brilliant Senatorial career by fighting tooth and nail for his convictions and refusing ever ta compromise with those who stood against him. it was Senator Holt the West Virginia Democrat. Elect ed in 1884, the hespectacled baby Senator came to Washington and had to wait nearly four months for his 30th birthday, June 19, 1885 before he could. under the Consti- tuition, take his seat.
 If ever a freshman Senator got a send-off, it was young Holt From the comparative obscurity of seat in the West Virginia leg islature he leaped overnight tc become a national figure-.a mere youth for whom many Senatorial graybeard predicted great things.
 In one of his first press inter- views, the curly-haired, brown eyed Senator elect laughingly told reporter: You know, I'm a dangerous man. I'd like to GU; utility rates. Say, do you know what a conservative is? q hear they don't like me- Well, a con- servative is somebody who W0r- ships long dead radicals. If they had Thomas Jefferson here today they'd deport him. That's right!'
 Behind that ear-to-ear grin and that statement was bare-knuckled Rush Holt, who in the next five years was to cause more smoke on the Senate floor than any man in recent years, with the excep- tion of the late Huey Long.
