of limited shipments of grain to

The expert emphasized that Eu-

Europe to hold out against the Brit

tinued.
However, a tight little country
like Belgium was pictured as un-
able to achieve self f-suffciency even
with the most scientifically planned
production. The expert foresaW no

Investigators for the Hoover Re

Germany had sent a limited amount
OF grain TO Belgium in order that

German officials explained that

be sent into occupied countries such

Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-

aid-to-England policy which you
are recommending policy which,
if neceSsary--if there is no other al
ternative-takes us into the war in
order to keep England afioat?
wilhelm my judgement. there
is only one body in the United
States that has the power to de-
of Congress I never would vote in
favor of a declaration of war until
the American public sentiment was
so overwhelmingly for it that I did
not think consistently with my OBJ
legations to my constituents I could
DO otherwise
Vandenberg-It must be my in
ability to make myself plain. I am
trying to determine whether this all
out aid to England does finally in
clude our entry into the war.
Willkie-Our declaration of War?
I would say no

Senator Barkley, Democrat. of Ken

You suggested a possible amend
ment for the consideration of the
committee and Senate limiting this
aid by the terms of the bill to Eng
land Greece and China
Willkie correcting him) - The
commonwealth of British nations.
Barkley-That is what I meant.
the British commonwealth. What
effect would the limitation of this
bill to these three nations you speak
of have upon the morale and the
courage and the hope of some OF
these other small nations which
may be invaded in the immediate
future?
Willkie-My judgment about that
is that I have such a great desire
to see this bill passed by almost
unanimous vote, or as near as that
can be obtained. I appreciate it
reduces the f1exibihty slightly. but
here is measure which, to my
mind, when aid to Britain is 50 all

of seeing unity on it. and I think
I can say without boasting that
have gone as far as any man could
in my position to bring that about
that even If it reduces the f1exibility
a little, it removes from disturbed
minds the fear that this gives the
President a power to roam over the

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

In his lifetime Reddy Fox has
spent many anxious moments, but
none more anxious than those in
which he waited for the coming of
Farmer Browns Boy to open the
henhouse and feed the biddies on
this particular morning. From the
moment when the big rooster on
the topmoSt perch stretched forth
his neck, tapped his wings and
crowed as only he can crow, Reddy
was on pins and needles, as the
saying is. Hiding behind a box in
the darkest corner of the henhouse,
he hardly dared to breathe. You
see, he didn't want those hens to
discover him. He knew that if
they did they would make such a
racket that they would bring Farm
er Browns Boy hurrying to find
out what the trouble was.
Reddy had had experience with
hens before. He knew that if Farm
err Browns Boy heard them max
ing a great racket he would know
that something was wrong and he
would come all prepared. This was
the one thing that Reddy did not
want. His one chance to escape
would be to take Farmer Browns
Boy entirely by surprise.
Never had the time dragged more
slowly. The hens were awake, and
several of them flew down to the
Of
so close to where Reddy was hiding
that merely by reaching out a black
paw he could have touched them.
Because he took particular pains
not to move. not even to twitch a
black ear. they did not see him.
Anyway, if they did see him they
took no notice of him. How the
moments did drag! All the time
he lay there listening, wishing that
Farmer Browns Boy would come,
yet dreading to have him come 1t
seemed ages before he heard sounds
which told him that people were
awake in Farmer Browns house.
Finally he heard distant door
slam. Then he heard whistle,
merry whistle. 1t drew nearer and
nearer. Farmer Browns Boy was
coming to feed the hens Reddy
tried to hold his breath. He heard
the click of the henyard gate as
Farmer Browns Boy opened it. Then
he heard the crunch, crunch. crunch
of Farmer Browns Boys feet on
the snow
The henhouse door was thrown
open and Farmer Browns Boy
stepped inside. In his hand he
held a pan filled with the breakfast
he had brought for the hens. Sud-
denly box in the darkest corner
of the henhouse moved Farmer
Browns Boy turned to look, and
as he did so a slim form dashed
fairly between his legs. 1t startled
him so that he dropped the pan and
spilled the corn all over the hen
house floor Great Scott" he ex-
claimed. What under the sun was
that?" and rushed to the door to
see. He was just in time to get a
glimpse of a red coat and a bushy
tail disappearing around a corner
of the barn.

Secretlve is the surprise word of
the week. The all but universal mis-
pronunciation "SEE-kruh- tive" re-
suits from false association with
the noun secret
But secretive is a companion word
of SECRETE, which is always &C
cented on the second syllable. A
person who secretes his thoughts or
intentions is secretive.
Be sure to accent the second syl-
liable which rhymes with free, tree.
Correct pronunciation:
See-KREE-tive.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accentedD
From San Diego: What did my
wife give me for Christmas, a pair
of pajamas, suit of pajamas, set
of pajamas, or a pajama? And
what is the right pronunciation?-
G. L. H.
Answer: Pajamas, like scissors,
clippers, pincers and trousers, are
looked upon as plural. Pair of" in
connection with these words is a
colloquialism. Better say: My wife
gave me pajamas, a suit of pajamas,
some pajamas.
Pajama is a Hindu word meaning
'leg garment"
Correct pronunciations:
First choice: puh-JAH-muh:
Second choice dubious: pub
JAM-uh.

Crusaders Open With Columbia;
 Face Boston Red Sox Saturday

Jakmauh, who halls from Milton Mass, led his mates last year to the Inter-C Collegiate Yacht Racing Association and walked of with the championship, under conditions similar to the Morss Trophy finals. The event was won on the choppy waters of teh Charles River in the face of keen competition. The vet- eran skipper, Jakmauh, Richard Pullman of Winthrop and Jerome Macdonald of Quincy were aided to @ great degree last year by the Freshman tar, Arthur ogden of Quincy, who won top honors in the individual scoring of points, and his addition to the Yacht Club has meant added punch" for this years competition. Holy Cross, defending champions, will compete against American International, Amherst, Boston College, Bowdoin. Colby, Maine, Middlebury, Nichols Junior College, Rhode Island State, Wes- leyan and Worcester Tech. The Cru- saders first came into prominence in Yachting circles when they nosed out Boston University, who are champions at the time, and went on from there to clinch the Inter-Col- legiate Yacht Racing Association trophy.

Special to The Democrat)

Worcester, April 10 -- Holy Cross Is preparing to open It's ls4l season against Columbia on Saturday at Fitton Field. This is the earliest date that the Crusaders have sched- uled in recent years but an unusu- ally warm April has permitted Coach Jack Barry to get in more outdoor sessions than in recent years. If "Old Man Pluvius" holds off for the rest of the week, fans may see the finest Holy Cross team ian years take to the field. The hardest job on Coach Barry's hands has been to decide on the replace ment for Art Duplessis, l940 short stop. "Bubby" Natowich and Man ny" Merullo have been battling 1t out this week with neither seeming to gain a deciding edge. Where one excels in fielding, the other shines at the plate. The rest of the lineup is fairly certain with Joe Pullano behind the plate, Captain Jack Moose" Hanlon at first, Mar ty O'Brien at second, and Eddie Morgan looming as the logical choice at third. The outheld finds three veterans available, Nahigian, casey and big Bruno Malinowski, but the latter is still nursing ling ering back injury and may give way to Johnny Bezemes, an anxious Sophomore or versatile Jim Scon- dras. who has been pelting the ball to the outer gardens with uncanny accuracy. Jim Scondras "the Chief" has already won his letters in foot ball and basketball and is anoiousa to round out the trio with his base- ball letter. Either George "Pinky" Woods, mainstay of the pitching staff last year or Jack Creamer, seem to be the logical choices for moundo duty at teh opener. Woods last year checked in with eight vic- tories and no losses for e perfect season and Creamer chalked up three wins and no defeats. Gene O'Connell, short, stock Sophomore and his classmate Ed Murphy will be prominent on Coach Barry's re- serve list should they be needed.
