! Fourth, some are raising the
argument that if England should
fall, the arms and materials and
other implements of war we
would give her could be turned
against us-~that our troops might
have to fight airplanes and guns
and warShips made in American
yards and factories. 1t is stress
cd that all gifts and loans to Eng
land would be made only under
a definite agreement that they
would never be turned over to
another power. but the bills OPP
ponents don't think such guaran-
tees would be worth much.
Fifth, the fact that the bill as
now drawn would enable the
President TO actually give Eng
land all or part of our Navy, if
nc 50 decided, is being made a
big fighting point Admlnistra-
ton spokesman, including the
President. have said that nothing
of that sort is anticipated, and
that the question of using Ameri-
can naval vessels to convoy Brit
ish merchant Shipping-some-
thing Britain obviously wants
has not been considered. But
Administration men, testifying
for the bill. have opposed a pro-
posed clause which would not
permit the gift or loan of ships

greSslonal approval
Th,Te are arguments on the
other side OF all these points. and

PRESS CLIPPING
BUREAU EXPANDS
GIRLS IN NEW YORK ESTAB-
LISHMENT ENJOY READ.
ING THE CITIZEN
Especial to The Citizen)


NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-If you
were to visit Burrelle's Press Clip
ping Bureau in downtown Man
haitian, you'd find a hundred
young girls doing nothing but
reading newspapers and maya
zines. The offices, which overlook
the Hudson River, are as quiet as
library reading room, and all
you see are newspapers stacked in
piles ready to be read and clipped.
Harold Wynne, young college
graduate who is president of this
unusual organization says: Our
girls enjoy reading The Key West
Citizen because it contains SO
many interesting items about our
clients"
Burrelle's Press Clipping Bu-
reau was started back in 1888 with
two readers and a handful of
papers. Frank Burrelle, the orig
inator of the clipping bureau idea
and founder of Burrelle's, over
heard one man ask another if he
had seen the article in the morn
ing paper which mentioned his
name. From this conversation be-
gan an organization which today
has branch offices all over the
world and spends more than $40,-
900 a year for newspaper and
magazine subscriptions.

1t is becoming clear that the
unlimited aid for England bill is
not going through with the blind
ing speed the Administration
hoped for. On the 23rd of Janu-
airy, one Senate leader said he cx-
pected a final vote within 60
days, which indicates the way the
wind blows. The opponents of
the bill are grimly determined to
fight it to a flnish-and they
have picked up a number of ad-
herents who, while they favor
sections of the measure, and are
as pro-BritiSh as anyone else.
were stunned by the tremendous
powers it gives the President.
Basis of the opposition TO the
bill is pretty wei established.
First, its opponents seized eager
ly on Secretary Stimson's obser-
walton that he expected a crisis
i'll the war within 90 to 80 days.
They pointed out that even If the
bill were passed at once, there
could be no significant increase
In our aid to England in so short
a time. Therefore, they SAID in
effect, Why all the hurry?"
Second. a major point has been
made of the apparent fact that
the bill would give the head of
this government, which is not at
war, far greater powers than are
possessed by the head of the
British government, which is at
war. MIR Churchill is directly

7 THIS WEEK and the following
week, Key West will have an OPP
portunity to view a comprehen-
sive exhibition of the works of
the much appreciated artists,
Jack and Alice Dudley. This
couple, coming to Key West some
four or five years ago, are taking
leading part in the life OF the
community and their friends are
countless. The Dudley Studio is
a visiting place for all who come
to Key West, and Dudley paint
ings, block prints and crafts are
acquired by visitors with as much
enthusiasm as is expressed by
the sport fisherman for the ia
nous trophies of Key West wa
tiers. When local artists are
spoken of in Key West, 1.-THE
Dudleys" are what most people
think of. Charter members of
the Key West Society of Artists
and organization members of the
Key West Art Center, WPA, these
artists have subscribed great
deal to the building up in the Is
land City of appreciation of art
and the finer things of life.
THE CURRENT EXHIBITION
is probably the largest collection
of the work of the Dudley Stu
dios which has been given public
showing and includes all branch
es of Dudley creativeness from
beautiful watercolors of local
scenes to rich black and white
and color limo block prints;
amazingly deft craft work in en-
craving and etching on pewter
and the mounting of native de-
sign cut-outs of pewter on glass
bottles, glasses and other uten-
sils: decorative wall pieces of
ships in silhouette and many
beautiful by-the-hand arts of this
very talented couple.
LAST YEAR the Dudleys built
their own home in Key West and
have recently added a studio and
craft shop building and no doubt
it is gratifying to Key West peo-
pie to realize that the welcome
accorded these artists has en-
couraged them to settle here and
cast their lot with many friends
among native Key Westers, look
ing forward together to a new
and better Key West.
THIS EXHIBITION will be
showing through Sunday, Feb
ruary 18th.

Provides for Greater
Old Age Assistance
Legislature Enacts Law
For More Help to Aged,
Says Fewkes.

State Representative Dell Fewkes
of Troy was in Libby Wednesday
and was talking over legislative
matters with Libby people This
having been Mr.. Fewkes' first ex-
perience in law making, he classed
himself as an amateur but remarked
that from the impression he gained
from talks with other legislators
End with Helena people. he would
class the recent session as one of
the very best ever held in Montana
Mr. Fewkes said it required great
deal of study and long hours to
perform properly all the duties the
position placed on one.
There IS misunderstanding i'm
the minds of the people concerning
old age assistance" said Mr..
FeWkes. Many think this is an old
age pension and that all who are
entitled to receive it should be
given maximum of $40 a month.
This is not so. The assistance grant
ed is not a pension. The amount
payable is dependent on need and
ranges all the way from $500 a
month up to maximum of $40 per
month. Each case is decided on its
own merits. The federal govern
ment and the state join in this
program. The highest average paid
anywhere is S28 a month. This legis-
lature provided for an appropria-
ton whereby old age assistance paid
in Montana will average as high as
any paid elsewhere. Those entitled
to increased payments will receive
the larger amount beginning on
July ] next
There is another matter | dis
covered, continued Mr.. FeWkes,
that does not seem to be generally
understood. A federal statute pro-
vides that the federal government
will cooperate with the state in pro-
viding medical care for anyone re-
ceiving old age assistance, up to a
maximum of $40 per month. As an
example: If person is now receiv-
