Zero Hour Nearino
In Convoy Debate
AMONG IT, SoIons
By JOHN r. REAL

WASHINGTON, May IL. (UP)--
Full dress debate on the question OF
American conveys fof supply ships
to Great Britain probably will be-
gin in the senate this week.
The senate commerce COMMITTEES
met today to rush action on the
house-approved foreign ship requis-
ition bill and may send it to the
floor by tomorrow. All attempt will
be made in the senate to attach
an anti-convoy amendment to it.
A senate showdown on conveys
approached amidst forecasts by au-
thoritative quarters that President
Roosevelt's address to the Pan
American union Wednesday might
not produce any momentous declar-
alton of policy.
That is complete reversal of
recent predictions in congressional
and other circles here. It had been
anticipated that recent addresses
by cabinet members-all calling in
directly for action guaranteeing the
delivery of goods to Britain--were
build up for a big presidential
pronouncement.
Authoritative sources said today,
however, that this vas oues-
tionable deduction. It was noted
that the White House itself never
has given any encouragement to
the belief that Mr. Roosevelt's We'd
nesday speech could be climactic.

Soldier Killed by
Mexican Officer

SAN DIEGO, May II. UP)-An
army board today investigated the
killing of Corp. Roscoe K. Davis,
25, of Mason City, ILL.,, by a police
man in Tijuana, Mexico.
Davis, with two other soldiers,
went to Tijuana Saturday to cell
ebrate his birthday, authorities said.
Gerald Mokma, U. S. consul at tt
juana, said Mexican authorities told
him the three soldiers had been
drinking in cafe, and when they
prepared to leave the policeman
warned them they were in no con-
dition to drive an automobile.
Despite the admonlslon, the three
drove through the center of town
toward the border, Mokma was told.
The Mexican officer followed them
in a squad car. He was quoted as
saying he drew his pistol and it
discharged accidentally, the bullet
striking Davis in the head.

knowledge of what you have done
continually rank2es in your mind,
and when, especially, you will be
tormented by the fear that the man
who tired of your sister will also
tire of you and leave you, then YOU
will know that it takes lot more
than love TO make woman happy.

Dear Miss Dix: I am girl Of

love with my sisters husband. She
refuses to give him divorce and
he has no grounds on which he can
obtain one. We are planning to
leave our home town and go where
nobody knows us and start life all
over again for ourselves. 1 am sure
my sister only wants him for a meal
ticket, as she could not love him
and say the mean things about him
in public she does.
I am continually nagged at home
until I think I will go crazy. Do
YOU think we would be happy If We
would go away? Or should I give
him up entirely and go to some other
town and try to forget about him?
We would be very grateful if you
would give us your frank opinion of
this situation.

you to be mixed up about what to

as plain as the nose on your face.
Every particle Of common sense as
