would have left London with very
wrong impression of life in the
shelters had I stopped there. Be-
cause the next day we talked about
what we had seen, people in the
Home Security heard about it and
Edith Wilkinson, who was the num-
ber one in charge under Herbert
Morrison, who is the Minister of
Home Security, called me up, and
the man who worked with her got
hold of Hide Marchant and told
her 1t was unfair of her to show me
only such places as I had seen last
night.
I respectfully declined the offer
Of an ofilcial guide, not because I
suspected the Ministry Of inten-
tionally misleading me, but because
I preferred to sacrifice the know
ledge of statistics for my own i'm
pressions. Hide is not to be bullied.
The Ministry is much more fright
ened of her than she is of it. She
said, I'm fairness, they are quite
right. But you won't understand
the problem we're up against until
you see the worst shelters. After

Hide said, II think the place I'm
taking you is the worst Of all. I
haven't been there for month now,
but it's under brewery and 1t

We reached the brewery shelter
through q cobble-sto yard. 1t
was in q district that had been
heavily bombed and the guards were
nervous. When we looked for the
entrance with q flash light they

thing out. Where in bloody hell do
wou think you're at?" We put it
out and felt our way into the door.
A clean, sharp. veasty smell met
us. We went through the ground
floor of the brewery and then down
a stairway into the cellar beneath.
We came into the big room in which
several thousand people slept on
some kind of a raised platform, so
that we looked out over them. I
was instantly conscious of a sense
of order-and of clear fresh air.
The rows of sleepers were well
separated and each had room to
turn around. Dim. shaded, hang
ing lights lit the place as at twi-
light.
Hide turned sharply on the war;

she said. And then, You're new

said he'd taken over three weeks

he added. "I1l say 1t was" said
Hide. And to me, "But this is
all changed" and to him, What did
you do?" He said he hadn't done
anything except to limit the num-
ber of people he'd take and to make
some rules. He said, This is almost

them wanted a place to pray, so I
gave them a room over there in the

"The toilets are still bad" he said.

Logan-WaIter Bill
,ImperiIed by Move
To Amend Hatch Act
New Mexico Senator
Expresses Confidence
Measure Will Be Passed
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A threat by opponents to submit
amendments to repeal portions OF
the Hatch Act further complicated
Senate consideration today OF the
controversial Logan-Walter bill for
revising the procedure of quasi-ju-
dicial Government agencies.
Senator Minton, Democrat, of In
diana said he was contemplating Of
fering amendments which would
strike out portions of the clean
politics" law regulating contribu-
tions to political campaigns.
Beset also by the threat of a
Southern filibuster if the anti
lynching bill is proposed as an
amendment, advocates of the Logan
Walter measure nevertheless main
tanned outward confidence that they
could bring the legislation to final
vote before this session of Con-
gress ends.
We'll take these things one at a
time as they come" said Senator
Hatch, Democrat, of New Mexico,
floor leader of the measure. Il have
every confidence that this bill will
pass"
The Senate, summoning a quorum
for the first time in several weeks,
voted, "a to 81, yesterday to con-
slider the bill, pending since it. was
approved early last spring by the
House.
Senator Hatch and other propo-
nents, who had expressed fears that
the necessary 48 Senators might not
be present to transact business, were
visibly elated that SIS had voted. But
opponents wondered openly if some
Senators who remained for the first
meeting since 1859 in the historic
old Senate chamber might not go
home after the novelty had worn
off-and before a final vote on the
bill.
Both houses have abandoned their
regular chambers temporarily while
workmen strengthen the Capitol
roofs.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
told reporters he had no way of
knowing whether enough Senators
would stay in town to transact busi-
ness. He urged without success yes
terday that consideration of the bill
be delayed until the new Congress.

in the army and the air force
with politicians and friends, we
talked about the room at the Dor
chester in which they danced al
dinnertime After you have beer
there several times it gets boring
because it's always exactly the same
But still you talk about it because
it's so patiently difficult to under
stand.
Ghost Room.
It's a ghost of a room in which
people danced and drank in 1917
and 1918. It's peopled with French
officers and Polish officers, English
men in gay guards uniforms, young
Americans from the Eagle Squad
ron, which is the walking ghost OF
the Lafayette Escadrille in Paris
The girls the officers have with
them are very beautiful-very-and
are beautifully and Immediately
dressed, with their hair exceedingly
well waved.
There is, a jazz band to play for
this company and number of the
dancers have had too much to
drink. The color of the faces is
high and the note of the conver-
sation slightly hysterical. Many are
drinking champagne.
Those who are about to die must
raise the glass cnce more. One last
fling before the leave expires. That
is the way it was in 1918. And here
are these people acting out the same
part. Only the point is, with the
exception of the occasional young
aviator sitting looking at it all in
some bewilderment, these people are
not about to die. They are not on
leave from the trenches in Flanders.
They are officers and citizens of a
country that is engaged in very
different kind of war from the war
that lasted from 1914 to 1918. What
is about to expire is not the breath
in their bodies but their property
rights in banks and mortgages.
What is about to end is life as they
knew and lived it as "the interna-
tional set'-people who are always
in Biarritz and Cannes at the right
time of year in the right hotels.
Guns Shake Building.
While they danced the guns out
side shook the building and over
head the DornierS droned back and
forth, back and forth. And every
shell the Dorniers dropped might
destroy some property they owned
and every shell the anti-aircraft
raised might be paid for by their
taxes.
I talked to lot of people in Lon
don about the Dorchester at dinner
time and never found one who
knew it who wasn't in some subtle
and yet obvious way ashamed of it.
There is too much reality in London
for make-believe. This is not a
war of gay guards uniforms and jazz
bands and pretty girls in frocks
that cost ESQ. And nobody in Lon
don who had anything to do with
the war-from air raid wardens to
cabinet ministers-even hold-overs
from the then dying Mr.. Chamber
lain's cabinet-appeared to be under
any illusion about the fact. Yet
there was the Dorchester dancing
away-and few other hotels, di-
luted solutions of the Dorchester.
Not to Be Bullied.

Shelter and the Liverpool street
Station tubes as we found them.
They were and are Scandalous. They
are neither typical nor untypical.

But she was proud Of the warden,
who had done such good Job. She
said, Alright, then, now this is
lot better than 1t was, but now
I'll show you what they can really
do. And what they ought to do
everywhere"
We drove into wnat appeared to
be business section and went into
q lobby of an office building. We
went down into a very deep cellar
and I saw what she meant. The
shelter was cut up into a number
Of rooms. The largest was well lit
and along one side there was a
permanent canteen which sold Gig
arettes and chocolate and served tea.
There were several card games
going on around bridge tables. All
English pubs have standard equip
ment, a darts game: A cork target
to hang on the wall and feather
darts to throw at it. The shelter
had its darts game and there was
good deal Of gaiety going on in
the group playing it. In another
corner people were sitting reading.
People can come in here and
make themselves at home until
they are ready to 90 to Sleep" said
the warden. The place had every
thing except numbered hunks.
There were flush toilets; a very
up and coming first aid bay. People
had plenty of room to sleep and
they slept on mattresses.
The warden said, "They bring
their own bedding. We used to let
them bring their own mattresses,
but they're apt to have things in
them, so now we put mattresses
here and they come back to them"
1t was very clean. Most of the
people I saw were obviously poor

white-collar workers rather than
laborers. but there were some men
whose hands and bodies showed
they did manual labor.
We looked at a lot more shelters.
They never ceased to interest me.
They ran the whole gamut between
the la-de-da in one where they
played bridge and darts and the
cavern under the Isle Of Dog. In
almost every shelter we went, Hide
noted improvements since she had
been there last.
