The Matter of Morale.
Gen. Marshall, head of the United

 Rep. Mead is one of the leading sponsors of the measure. During the hearing. Cooney grew exasper- ated with the representative and shouted, "Why don't you get out there so we can ask you questions?"
 Mead took up tine challenge, and retorted, T will"
 Then he left his committee chair and took a position in front of the group. The arguments flew for Q few moments, and then the situa- ton quieted.

French Children Are Joyous At Food Ship

BY FRANCOIS CASSlNT (IjniteA Press COrresuOndent) !

Marseilles, France, March i3. -- (UP) Two little girls in white mus lin frocks stepped in front of a strid' ing American on a crowded pier here today and stopped him.
 One little girl handed him 8 bou- quet of flowers. The other pressed into his hand 8 note on which said:
 Prom the children of France who are profoundly touched by this gen. erosity of America towards France and her children.
 "The children of France salute the friendship between our two coun- tries and offer you these simple flow CTS as token of their emotion and gratitude"
 While this was happening more than 700 other French children, in- cluding 50 Boy Scouts and 50 girl guides, were waving little American and French flags and shouting:
 "Vive L'Amerique, Vive President Roosevelt"
 In the harbor, aboard little, un- distinguished looking ship, grizzled sea captain shucked his skipper s cap and said:
 T am more touched than I can say"
 Red Cross Allen
 The American on the pier, halted just as he was about to stride up the gangplank to board the ship, was Richard Allen, dierctor of the Amer ican Red Cross in France.
 The skipper was Capt. Albert M. Moore, and his ship was the l,500- ton freighter Cold Harbor, safe in Marseilles after a long-delayed voy- age through the British blockade with a cargo of milk, vitamins, and clothing for the children of unoc- cupied France.
 Red Cross and American officials had intended to hand the mercy cargo" to France with minimum of ceremony and go on about their business.
 But the population Of Marseilles spontaneously ruled out those plans by assembling by the hundreds at the pier to witness an occasion al- most as stirring to them as Gen. John J. Pershing's arrival at the base of Lafayette's statue in Paris
