 "If we are invited" was the answer, tits all right with me-" AT THE WHITE HOUSE
 Lewis was very solemn when he entered the White House. The President greeted him pleasantly, and throughout the hour and 45- minute conference was at his most charming best.
 Like Taylor, the President also talked ct length about the serious ness of the international situa- ton and the peril facing the country.
 Lewis was the last to leave the Presidents office. As they shook hands, Roosevelt said, You're looking well, JOhn." Lewis replied, Thank you, MT. President" Lewis appeared greatly relieved when he emerged.
 NOTE:-The November IS dead- line Lewis later announced for the suspended strike is just two days before the CIO convention in Detroit, where Lewis expects to play a leading role.

When $50 women isolationist lc Jbyists stormed the Capitol one q 7, they qualified in only one rt .pect.
 Senator Gerald Nye had ar- ranged for them to uses the cham Der, but he was out of town, as usual, making a speech when they showed up.

One buxom female, carrying an American flag, grabbed Aiken by the arm.
 Come back and make us a speech, Senator" she conn manded. "HOw do you stand on the foreign pOlicy?"
 The Vermonter looked pleading ly at McNally who immediately got the drift.
 Senator, your office has just sent over word that you have a lOng-distance call from Ver- mont" said the policeman. 'Tt's very urgent"
 I've been waiting for that call all day." blurted Aiken with feigned seriousness. 'I'Il have to leave right away" With that he darted out the doorway with Me- Nally at his heels. When they were safely down the corridor Aiken joyfully threw his arms around the young policeman.
 "S0n, you saved my life," he exuIted. Let me know if I can ever return the favor."

 Intelligence services report that Nazi embassies and legations, once well supplied with cash, now are SO hard up that they are resort ing to squeeze methods to obtain money from German nationals.
 One scheme Is to compel the nationals to send gifts of money to relatives in Germany. These funds are handled by the embas- sies and legations and never reach their destination. Another device is to put pressure on nationals, who were forced to sell their bus- inesses because Of the anti-Axis aleasures, to einvesls the funds they received in Q special kind of German currency known as Eick- wunfermaTks.
