 thing that has been said in public life in my generation"
 Hopes It Is True
 Wheeler, who will direct the Strat- egy of the congressional group op- posing the bill, replied: T sincerely hope that my statement will be proven to be untrue and that no American boys will be ploughed un- der because of the administrations $ war-minded foreign policy.
 T am not unmindful that the president has said that no American boys vii lbe sent abroad, but sub init to the American people that every speech that has been made by the president since the election has been one tending to bring this coun- try step by step into the foreign war.
 T hope his utterances will not in- timidate other people from express ing their honest opinions"
 The poll of the Senate committee, which probably will postpone hear ingS until after the House has com- pleted action on the bill, showed these members favoring: George, Harrison, Wagner, Connally, Thomas | (Utah, Murray, Pepper, Green, Barkley, and Guffey. They will be joined by Senators Byrnes and Lucas, who are to be appointed to | two vacancies.
 Tinkham Rebuked Rep. George H. Tinkham, R., Mass, read to Hull a statement con- | demning the bill as setting up dic- tatorShip in the United States.
 T imagine" Hull said, that the author of that statement will be reading it when England is con- quered and South America is in- vaded, without any thought of doing anything about the situation. Numerous citizens of Holland and Poland were reading just such statements and they are now ill the chain gang"
 Tinkham accused Hull of "evad- ing" the point and Chairman Sol Bloom admonished the congressman.
 But he doesn't answer!" said Tinkham.
 A moment later Rep. Luther Johnson, D., Tex, made the point of order that Tinkham "aSk specific questions insteao of making speeches"
 I'm asking questions" said Tink- ham.
 Johnson objected specifically when Tinkham asked Hull if he stood for law and morality when you propose in this bill that all international law and neutrality be done away with"
 Asked About Russia
 Tinkham then asked whethet American policy now entailed eX- tending help to any nation that was attacked-that if Russia, for instance, were attacked, would we rush aid to her?
 That question is so theoretical" |" Hull replied. "that don't think you want to discuss It."
 q don't think it is theoretical at all,' said Tinkham.
 Bloom rapped his gavel.
 "The secreatry has answered the question" he said.
 Tinkham asked Hull if he favored having American ships attempt to break the blockade either of Ger many or England"
 q haven't heard that matter dis l cussed," Hull said.
 When Tinkham asked whether President Roosevelt has at any time since the recent election used the phrase "short-of- there were renewed objections from committee members that Tinkham's questions were not relevant to the pending bill.

ration for the men who have

Air fighting these days, while it
has its characteristics of indivld-

of teamwork That is where the

that has been the real value of our

fenSive air battles over Occupied
France and Britain, and it gives
me more thrill TO know these fell

offensive sweeps over Britain. We
gate them a damned good Shellack-

I saw France for the first time
from 10000 feet. 1t gave me
rather good feeling to be fighting
over enemy territory at last rather
than over land We were defending.
Even when we went over France
German fighters seemed rather
yellow.
After that first trip We went on
bomber escort operations, going in
as far as Lille.

the value of teamwork and how COM
pletelv vital it is for success. A
supreme thrill comes after one OF
these operations. after you've done
your shooting and are heading home.

bombers and get thumbs up from
a rear gunner or pilot. II is then
