Indications yesterday were that
Mr.. Smiths bill would then be put
forward as a substitute for the Labor
Committees milder plan.
If the Smith substitute is voted
down, the issue would then lie be-
tween the Labor Committees plan
and the original Vinson measure.
Vinson to Fight for Bill.
Chairman Vinson of the Naval
Committee said yesterday he also
will make a fight for his original
bill. which seeks to maintain the
status quo as to existing open or
closed shop agreements, and also
outlines detailed procedure for VOL
untary arbitration of disputes.
Both the Vinson and the Labor
Committee bills would establish by
law and continue the National De-
fense Mediation Board already set
up by the President by executive

House Unit Orders
Public Hearings on
Contract Lobbying
Commissions Paid Former
Government Employees
Will Be Investigated

Payment of huge commissions to
so-called defense brokers" for OBJ
tanning Government contracts in
the defense program will be investi-
gated at public hearings beginning
Wednesday before the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee, Chairman
May announced late yesterday.
He did not disclose the names of
witnesses to be called by the COM
mittee. but indicated the trend of
the hearings in calling attention to
results of preliminary investigation
conducted quietly in number of
States during the past several
months.
This has resulted in the disclosure,
he said. of huge commissions" be-
ing paid to the brokers. He pointed
out that this unnecessary cost is
absorbed in the final analysis by
the taxpayers"
Former Employees Active.
1t has been charged that former
employees of the Government have
acted as agents for concerns seeking
contracts in the defense program.
Senator Hatch, Democrat of New
Mexico and others say this amounts
to sale of influence growing out of
former Government employment.
Senator Hatch has a bill before
the Senate Judiciary Committee
prohibiting any former Government
employe from practice before Gov
eminent agencies and departments
for period of two years after his
severance of employment with the
Government. Senator Hatch is
member of the Senate'S Defense In
vestigating Committee.
President Roosevelt indicated last
week that he believed legislation
should be enacted which would pre-
vent former Government employees
from carrying on such business.
Law Being Drafted.
The President said that Attorney
General Biddle was in agreement
with that view and that bill was
in the process of being drafted.
Mr.. Biddle told reporters he knew
of no existing law to prevent pri-
vate citizens from accepting fees

tracts. although there was a pro-

made in the House during recent

Among them was that of Repre-
sentative Gehrmann, Progressive, Of

follows:
Word has gone out from labor
union headquarters calling to Wash
ington a horde of labor leaders for
next week to broWbeat and blud-
geon the Congress into refusing the
demand of the American people for
legislation to stop strikes that are
sabotaging national defense. Those
interested in good government
should keep their eyes on Capitol
Hill next week. where they can eX-
pect to see one of the most dis
gushing, brazen and concerted at
tempts of an organized minority to
defeat the will of the American
people that has ever occurred
Congressman members will be
waylaid. button-holed, broWbeat
and threatened with political as
sassination if they dare vote their
honest convictions on strike legis-
lation.
1T will be recalled that, when
the May Bill, to curb violence in
defense strikes, was before the
House a few months ago. the same
thing occurred. l exposed it and
denounced it on the floor of the
House. The c. I. o. not only ad-
mitted, but boasted of its per-
formance in defeating the bill that
would have put an end to violence
and lawlessness in strikes and pro-
tected the American workingman
in his right to work and the Ameri-
can people in their right to prepare
for war.

Confidence in Russia
Reiterated by Three
Members Of Senate
Connolly, George and
Austin Believe Army
Will Continue Fight
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Three legislators well informed on
foreign affairs-Senators Connally,
Democrat, of Texas; George, Demo-
crat, of Georgia and Austin, Repub-
lican, of Vermont-expreSSed con-
fidence yesterday that the Soviet
armies would fight on even if Mos
COW and Leningrad fail, and said
the United States should continue
to furnish lease-lend aid to Russia.
Mr.. Connally, chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, told reporters that German
capture of Moscow and Leningrad
would be bad but that it need
not be. fatal"
IF the Russians can keep their
Army intact, even if they should
have to fall back to the Ural Noun
tains, they will remain a constant
threat to Germany" he said.
Because the Russians are "tena-
cious and tough" he added, they
are likely to stick it out" even
if their two chief cities capitulate.
Agreeing with this viewpoint, Sen
ators George and Austin said the
effectiveness of further Russian re-
sistance thus might hinge directly
on the amount of supplies this coun-
try could deliver to the Soviets. For
that reason, they said, lease-lend
shipments should be speeded as
much as possible

Easter Pets
Need Care
Teach Children to
Handle Them All
With Restraint
By Betsy CasyeH,

~ 1s'Sy ~ W.
We promised you last Monday
that today we would give you brand
new housekeepers some suggestions
for selecting meats when you go
marketing-but We had reckoned
without the number of our readers
who have been writing and tele-
phoning in asking us please, please
to devote some space to the care
and feeding of Easter live pets.
So we'll have to neglect the brides
this time and postpone the mar
keting chat until next week-because
We agree that 1t is important to
get in those words of warning about
the baby animals and birds before
they have been subjected to any
unwise handling.
Children adore pets, and well
they may. There is something so
fascinating about little live cuddly
thing for ones very own. But right
there comes the first stumbling
block-the babies shouldn't be cud-
died. Cuddling is the quickest way
to send them off to bunny or
chicken heaven, and too much han
ding is the hardest thing Of all to
control when a child first welcomes
his little pet.
1t is wise to impress the young
sters-and grownups, too-with the
necessity for leaving the little rab-
bit or guinea pig or duckling or
whatever it may be, alone, and in
peace. These baby animals need
the same amount of sleep and quiet
as do their human prototypes, and
the constant nervous and almost
suffocating effect Of being petted
and played with usually proves
fatal. Watch the little creature
amuse himself, enjoy his gambols
as a spectator, but don't attempt
to play with him il you want him
to grow into a big and healthy pet.
Next in importance comes feed
ing. This should be carefully gone
into with the experts in pet shops
or with skilled veterinarians or
bird fanciers. Don't take just any
body's advice-it will very likely cost
you the life Of your pet. Ask for
the authorities instructions IS to
the pets diet and follow them to
the letter. Buy the proper food
If you can't afford 1t, don't pur-
chase the pet In the first place.
Teach the child owner that the
pet must be fed regularly and cor
rectly, and see that this is done.
OF course it's trouble-but isn't a
devoted little live creature worth 1T?
Also ask expert advice on cages,
houses. beddings, kennels, etc. Each
type of pet has his own require
ments, and will do much better If
they are furnished him. Remem-
Der, if you plan to keep small
animals out of doors that there are
other dangers beside changes in
temperature marauding cats,
thieving dogs-and sometimes hu-
mans rats and various other
enemies may beset him. Be sure
that all possible protection is af-
forded him against any or all Of
these.
Easter pets are not just toys to
be played with for day or so and
then tossed away. They are BREATH
ing. feeling, suffering bits Of life,
and should be treated with the
consideration due any other living
thing. Teach your children to care
for their pets intelligently-to love
them wisely, and they will live to
be joy to the household for many
wears.

value Of atomiZers for perfume and
cologne. You may or may not know,
boss, that spraying your pet
fragrance is an economy, besides
being an easier and more satisfactory
method.
But the atomizer idea is not the
only bright one that's come out Of
the beauty industry of late There
are all sorts of ways of offering your
pet beauty aids in new disguises and,
mind you, we're all for it, ION ac-
count" it makes shopping for the
necessities something Of a game.
You know, Guess what kind of
package my favorite nail enamel
and or lipstick is in this week
that kind of thing. For instance.
this week we found our pet nail
enamel, lipstick and cheekstick all
done up in the form of a little road
side soda-pop stand. complete with
striped awning! It's charming
presentation of the latest colors and
makes the new spring shades even
more appealing, BY the Way-there
are three new ones with wonderful,
Saucy names.
From this atmosphere of circuses,
the beauty editor must steel her
self to concentrate upon femininity
as seen in q new little kit of dusty
pink faille trimmed with black lace.
It's an amazing little item, all filled
with well-known brand of make
up, and, provided you had any clothes
that were mid-Victorian in feel
ing, it would make a wonderful &C
ceSsory for evening. The little bag
is scented and has one of those
patented stay-open-by-itself tops
that make finding the makeup items
a fairly simple matter.
You can see why we had to take
the day off, of course, for there's no
end to these unusual gadgetS which
have been pouring in for our in
Spection. In fact. we're just lit
tie bewildered by handkerchief cases
stuffed with makeup, plastic con-
tainers for foundation cream which
miraculously turn into loose powder
compactS, flower carts and sprin-
klers which really hold perfume
lapel pins which hold your favorite
fragrance and military hats or
florists boxes which are really cos
metic containers, to mention but a
few.
Don't think we're criticizing. boss.
but We just had to take a day to
recover from this burst of desper-
ately clever packaging. We really
like it. for, as We mentioned, it's
kind of surprise at-every turn
angle. And even if we do suffer a
fit of trembling every time waiter
brings in q silver-covered dish
imagining a bubble bath is going
to froth from under it. we'll we can
take it. That is. we can take it If

If the boy suggests nearby pic

1t is correct for you to wait in the

Dear Columnists:
A boy and I walked out to get
a soda and met another boy whom
we both knew very well. The Sec
ond invited us into his home for
a while, but I refused. saying that
it wasn't proper. He disagreed. and
was positive 1t was all right, since
it was by invitation.
We talked for a while, then went
on. Was this boy right, or was I?
! am IA; the boys were both Is.
MURIEL.
The answer to this question de-
pends on whether or not you were
well acquainted with the boy S
parents, and on whether or not
they were at home.
II you knew the family well and
they were at home, we'd see no OBJ
lection to your accepting the invi-
tation. Otherwise, no. Generally
we think it's well for girl to be
hesitant about going to a boys home
except upon an invitation which she
knows is made with the knowledge
and approval Of his parents.
However, when a situation such
as you describe arises, we'd suggest
you avoid the isn't proper" type
of excuse whenever possible. That's
an implied rebuke to the boy for
issuing the invitation and might

very well offend him. Also, It's apt
to sound bit prim and stuffy.
Dear Kay and Alden:
I have been going with girl
steadily for about year. We want
to get married, but I am just 20
and she is only II. I will soon be
in the draft, so Id like to join the
Navy.
However, she doesn't want me
to do that. She wants to get mar
ried right now. I told her thought
it was wise to wait until after !
had taken my necessary training
Please tell me what you think best.
WILLIAM E.
Because OF your youth and your
liability for military service We
think it might be better for you
to postpone the marriage. If you
were to marry now and leave soon
for a years training it certainly
would not help get your marriage
off to q good start. And if your
marriage exempted you from service
you might have a tendency to think
of yourself as a Stacker. which GER
tainly would be bad for your morale
Usually We think that when a
young fellow has a hankering to
do something like joining the Navy
it's better for him to get that urge
out of his system before settling
down. But don't forget that the
minimum period of enlistment in
the Navy is six years. Also, the
Navy will not accept a married
man for a first cruise.
This puts you in rather tough
spot. If you join the Navy now you
won't be free to set up home for
a long time; if you marry now
you won't be able to join the Navy
Maybe taking your years training
in the Army would be your best bet.
