going to the Davenport for din
ner tonight"
But"
"That'll make Suzanne burnt"
he said.
Somehow, there was some
thing not quite light in his tone.
But she meekly got her coat,
and off they went.
The Davenport was I h e
swankiest restaurant in town.
They had come here often, long
ago. The headwaiter even re-
membered them, and led the
way to the table in the corner
where they used to sit.
She was conscious, as she
looked around, of the fact that
her simple dark dress, the gold
chain at her throat, were too
demure, not up to the style of
the ruby velvet dinner dress of
the woman at the next table.
She had never used to worry
about her clothes before. Be-
cause then she had lived in q
two-by-four room in a boarding
house and all her money went
on her back. Now, it was diff
ferent. She realized, suddenly,
she hadn't had q new dress in
months.
II feel" she told Paul, "like q
beggar maid" And she kept
wondering about Suzanne.
Stuff" said Paul. picking up
the long printed menu.
It was q delicious dinner,
from the shrimp cocktail straight
through to the luscious French
pastry.
Martha giggled, "I'm full to
the eyes. I must have gained
five pounds"
ut won't hurt you. You're
rather thin, you know"
Thin" she exploded. Paul
Elliott, I weigh lis pounds and
that's plenty! Would you like
to see me bloated up like =
balloon?"
"You haven't looked well
since Bill left" he said soberly.
There are circles under your
eyes. You're not-not rs ener-
getic, somehow. No spirit"
She dropped her eyes. II do
miss him."
1T Is senseless to worry"
II haven't been worrying"
After q while he said. We've
seen just about every movie In
town. How about going for .
drive?"

mittee said he hoped to COM
plete hearings In three days.
George told reporters that
with Overwhelming sentiment
very favorable for the objective"
of the legislation, the main con-
tests would be lover alleged un-
necessary grant of dictatorial
powers and claims that adequate
safeguards are not set up against
abuse of the powers or for the
protection of the American tax
payer"
Senator Clark (D-Idaho). an
opponent Of the measure, said
he would favor "all limitations
on the presidents power design
cd to preserve integrity of con-
gress."
He said that committees
should develop the amount Of
money necessary for the project
ed program and that q ceiling
on expenditures should be insert
ed.
Clark and several other oppon-
ents declared there should be no
filibuster against the bill.
"Why should we Americans
pay for war materials for Great
Britain who still has seven bill
lion dollars in credit 'or COLA
terial in the United States?"
Senator Lee asserted that Hit
Ter was at war with America to-
day - economically, politically
and morally-and that only one
obstacle prevents him from
making war on US in a military
sense, and that is England"
IF England is willing to fur
nish men to fly the planes we
should be willing to furnish the
planes" he said,' continuing:
Suppose it does take our
wealth. That Is not as precious
as the blood of our boys. The
countries of Europe placed their
faith in neutrality and appease-
ment, and where are those coun-
tries now? That road leads to
war.
To-day England Is the last and
only barrier between the Nazi
blizkrieg and the youth of Amer
lea. We must keep that bar
rier standing"
Lee said that the "only way
America can be sure Of peace is
to get ready for Hitler before
he gets ready for u.s."
He quoted Hitler and his aides
as having world-conquering de-
signs, said the "isolationists have
been wrong every step of the
war" and declared that Eng
land should fall today, Hitler
would have more trained SOL
diers in q sideshow marching
through Rumania than we have
under arms In the United
States"

So the Japs are going to give

A new Japanses negotiator,
former minister Kenkichi Yoshi-
zawa, is on his way to Batavia,
and within the next few days
another long series of confer
ences will begin, the purpose
of which will be to get for ia
pan a larger share of the oil,
rubber and tin produced In the
Indies. Particularly the oil.
If a new deal goes through,
there will be presented to the
world two more magnificent
inconsistencies of war:
The Dutch, technically at
war with Germany, will be
selling to Germany's ally, ia
pan, through subsidiaries Of
the British Netherlands con-
trolled Shelf oil Interests.
2. The United States, which
has q government embargo
against the export Il avia-
ton gasoline to Japan, will be
indirectly producing and dis
tributing oil to the japanese,
through subsidiaries Of the
American controlled Standard
and Vacuum oil Interests.

romances which have character.

For that reason, informants said.
II was indicated that Gen. TOTO

These sources took the view that
the selection of Gen. TOTO meant a

It did not necessarily mean a pro
