Meantime, President Roosevelt,
,sked at his press conference about
reports that he would not object to
rlacing limits on the life of the bill
and its grant of powers, declined
n pynress an opinoin. He said he
wanted to wait at least until he
cav the measure as finally ap-
nroyed by the commission.
On the senate side of the capt.
toI Senator Austin (R-Vt), assis-
tant minority leader told reporters
he approved a proposal to require
that the President receive congress
sional approval before granting aid
to any warning democracy
Under the proposal, discussed as
a possible compromise provision in
the aid-to-Britain legislation, IN
President would send congress a
list Of countries he proposed to aid.
Those disapproved by congress
could receive nothing, but those ap-
proved could receive any assis-
lance the President saw fit to give.
Austin said it now was ''prema-
ture' to discuss writing into the
till a prohibition against American
conveys for ships to Great Brit
ain. That is a matter Of STRAIT

BRITAIN EXPECTS
INVASION SOON

rificing half of her airforce, three
quarters of her battle fleet and at
least $50, 900 troops.
Along the beaches and behind
them tonight Britain frightened the
lines of preparation for the expect
ed assault, particularly the threat
of gas.
Authorities considered requiring
a gas mask as an admission
ticket" to bomb shelters and the
ministry of home security weighed
plans for civilian gas alarm prac-
tees to shake Britons back into
consciousness of this menace.
In fact, not since the Munich
crisis and the actual outbreak Of
the war has Britain evinced such
concern over gas attacks.
In the tense days of Munich, 49,
900, 900 gas masks were issued to
Britons and when that crisis pas
sed they were put back into their
cardboard boxes.
After the outbreak of the war,
with the late Prime Minister Ne
vile Chamberlain himself setting
the fashion, Britons wore the gas
masks camera fashion on straps
over their shoulders.
Few Garry Masks ..
AS the first air raids passed
without the appearance of gas,
they dropped the custom and now
only one-fifth the population car
ries masks.
Meanwhile. the three fighting
services have intensified prepare
ions not for one landing of Ger
man troops, but for several.
No purely British army in his
tory eve reached the number, a.
900, 900, of today's. combined regu-
lar and home guard forces. And
no British army of history ever
has undergone the comprehensive
training that has been given the
present n since Dunkerque.
The buck privates have been re-
equipped with a multiplicity of
modern weapons and many tactics
dear to the old guard have been
dropped by the younger and less
''1914-minded' officers of the high
command.
An idea of the number of in
tensive nature of the maneuvers
that have been going on may be
found in the fact that one com.
mand alone has studied 120 dis
tinct "problems'' of incasion in
"defending' an area against every
tactic and type of force, from
parachute troops to amphibious
tanks.
The Raj, whose task is to pre-
serve the sky frontiers, has been
equipped with hundreds of n w
planes and expects a heavy influx
of more bombers and ~interceptor
fighters from the United States in
the spring.
Good As Any
British pilots r as good as can
to be found and their ground craws
and facilities are held adequate
for the present emergencies.
Leaders of the Raj have ex-
hibited courage, ambition and
boldness of imagination.
The army's plan is to "shoot
'em on the beaches" when the Ger
mans attempt their landings. But
some military authorities concede
that out of several tries, the Nazis
are likely to establish one good
bridgehead, into which they would
pour every resource in men and
materials.
1t then would be up to the navy
to cut off such seaborne supplies,
even if this means the sacrifice
of several battleships. 3

ton of a record-breaking spending
program which has been recon-
mended by the advisory budget
commission. The finance commit
tee did not meet today, and will
not reconvene until Tuesday after
noon.
Both the house and senate re-
ceived bills incorporating Governor
Broughton's recommendations + o r
state aid to libraries. The identical
measures provide for an appro-
priation of 500, 900 a year. and
were introduced by Senator Greg
ory Of Rowan and Representative
Williams of Pasquotank.
A bill to appropriate So, 900, 900
yearly from the state highway
fund for the maintenance of streets
in municipalities was sent forward
in the senate by Wilson of David
son, Sanders of Alamance, Evans
of Hartford and Howell of Bun
lcombe.
ION City Highways"
The money would be used ex-
clusively on streets used for high
ways within municipalities, and the
So, 900, 900 would be allocated on a
formula based half on population
of a municipality and half on high
way mileage within the municipal
lily.
A proposal to issue $500, 900 worth
of bonds to build a tubercular hos
pital in eastern North Carolina
was approved on second reading by
the senate, 43 to 2. Such a hos
pital was recommended by Cover
nor Broughton in his Inauguration
speech.
Representatives Uell of Rowan
and Poole of Moore, making the
first effort of the current legisla-
ture to regulate the movement of
gasoline on the highways, sent for
ward a bill to limit the capacity of
gasoline trucks to 1,50G gallons.
Only two bills we're ordered rati-
fled into law, and both of them
were of a local nature. One would
shorten the terms of certain Off
Gals Of Harnett county; the other
would change superior court terms
in Edgecombe county.
The harmony which prevailed
during the approval of the con-
%gressional bills was shattered a
few moments later when the house
took up a bill to grant rights of
eminent domain to bus companies
wishing to build union terminals on
sites approved by the utilities COM
missioner.
Representative Ward of Craven,
former speaker, started the opposi-
ton ball rolling by proposing that
the bill apply only to cities of more
than than 10000 population. Quick
ly, amendments were proposed to
exempt Edgecombe, Hyde, Gran
vile and Wilson counties from the
bill.
Bill is Tabled
Finally, Representative Withrow
OF Rutherford moved that the bill,
which had been introduced by the
Mecklenburg delegation, be tabled.
His motion carried, 48 to As, on a
standing vote.
The house then approved a sem
ate bill to allow the highway COM
mission to contract for defense
roads, without advertising for bids
or awarding the contract to the
Lowest bidder. However, an amend
ment, sponsored by Chairman
Stone of the house roads commit
tee, was tackled on to the meas
ure, so the bill must go back to the
senate for concurrence.
Stones amendment would re-
quire that all such contracts be
approved by the governor, and that
notices of contract negotiations be
published in a Raleigh news
paper.

Easy Suggestions
For Curtain Care

II you make your own window
curtains, be sure TO hem both sell
wage edges. and not Just the one
that will hang down the center Of
the window. You will find that 1t
is easier to iron the curtains so
they hang straight II you take this
extra sewing step. This is par
ticularly useful and important II
you don't have curtain stretchers.
Another time saver In making
curtains Is to buy fabrics that have
been pre-shrunk. You can then
measure your material to the exact
length needed. allowing for top
and bottom hens. but not having
TO worry about the extra allowance
for shrinkage In the first launder-
ing.
Another tip on curtain care Is
70 shake them gently each week
while doing the general house.
cleaning This removes a good deal
Of the loose dust and keeps the
curtains looking fresh for q longer
period. The curtains should al
ways be shaken before being
washed. too. Soak them for half
an hour In cool, soapy water. then
transfer them to clean suds that
are slightly warmer for the actual
washing. Hem sections. which are
usually most soiled. may need
extra attention. but should not re-
ceive any strenuous rubbing. Rims
ing should be thorough.
Hang on the line full length. II
possible. and smooth out wrinkles
so that curtains will dry practically
creaseless. If you use a stretcher.
be certain that 1t is adjusted ex-
actly to the size you want-other-
wise you may have TO go through

stretching.

her Older child Is concerned.
How to establish and maintain
companionable relationships with
their children u somethinS Ill
parents want to know. The thing
to remember here Is that. % in
other friendly alliances. give-and-
take Is an important factor. Pref
erably such training starts In the
early years Of childhood. The par.
erit sets out to meet the child
halfway. His goal Is the child'S
confidence. the only foundation on
which parent and child can ever
function as friends.
Trouble always starts when par.
ents everyday their hands. and
try to come down to the child'S
level as q friend. One well-known
example is that Of the mother, or
father. who acts the part of his
teen age youngster, much to the
latter's embarrassment and dis
gust.
The best advice to those seek
ing companionable relationships
with their children Is to act their
age. The truth Is that you can
not be boys and girls together.
But you can be the best friend"
a fellow ever had simply by an
swering his questions honestly and
patiently. and by making him feel
that he can always come to you
with his problems. doubts and
fears. From here 1t Is Just q step
to sharing interests and enthusi-
asms together. and the compan-
ionship every parent wants from
his children.

Petticoat Rule

A man who marries q woman
whose income Is much more than
his u not always. II ever, to b
envied. When he married one who
insists that he give up his Job IN
order to be at her beck and call.
he Is taking on q much bigger Job,
1t less pay. than he bargains for
or than the one he gives up.
II sounds delightful to be free to
act - escort Of q beloved lady. But
when she sets the social pace and

height Of the season at Whatever
place she elects to appear. 1t be-
comes pretty irksorne to free-boru
American who IL accustomed to rul-
ing, or at least partially ruling. his

A husband under the terms Of
this woman's contract becomes
little more than q gigolo. So II he
has any red blood In his veins. he
resents being deprived Of his free
dom.
Such IN arrangement may for,
q time seem ideal. but men are not
designed to trot at heel or be com.
manded by women. They submit.
without creditable patience and q
little aside amusement, to q GER
tain amount Of petticoat rule, but
they will snap, ut II not bite, the
hand that feeds them once they dis
cover that the hand also Yields .

A woman who has lost one hus-
band through dictatorship methods
might be expected to have nended
her ways, but once let man or wo-
man get It into their heads that
money can buy anything. including
body and soul. and they become ty.
ranical to q impossible point.
