He said they would clearly In
hibit'' the use of United States
naval vessels to convoy materials
to belligerents, would limit the
life of the Presidents sweeping
powers to two years, would re-
quire periodic reports to congress
on the administration of the pro-
gram, and would require him to
consult the army chief of staff
and the chief of naval operations
before taking any step under the
proposed statute.
Rep. Fish of New York, ranking
minority committeeman, an
nounced that seven republican
amendments would be offered, in

and another to limit the bill to one

Morgenthau told the senate for
eign relations committee that Brit
ish orders for 1000 fighting planes
were being held in allegiance be-
cause the British lacked enough
dollar exchange. He also said that
in order to pay for the war equip
ment already ordered, British citi-
zens had arranged to sell every
bit" of property they own in the
United States within IL months.
When Senator Clark D-Mo.) asked
whether this included New York
real estate holdings Of Lord and
Lady Aston, he asserted:
eff Lord and Lady Astor own
real estate in New York, their
assets will be on the auction block
along with all the Others"
Morgenthau was the target Of
severe questioning by senators crit

cy. In response to queries, he said
he had charged the British world
war debt off mentally" long ago,
but that he did not necessarily"
intend to do likewise with the new
obligations contemplated under the

At one point Senator johnson (R-

Donzie's Free City Stotus Short-Lived

TRoNIc is this Danzig stamp, is.
 sued just before the Nazi occu. patton and still bearing the leg end, Free State of Danzig."
 The stamp depicts the signing of the treaty between Danzig and Sweden, thus ending an early 18th century war in which Sweden found herself engaged with Pc. land and Denmark. The stamp was issued in 1889 to commend, rate the reunion of Danzig and Prussia in 1914 and served as a hamburger of events which were to follow swiftly.
 Danzig became a free city un- der the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Previously it had been the capital of East Prussia, but when World War I ended, Poland insisted on getting Danzig as an outlet to the sea.
 Hesitant to grant this request in view of Danzig's 96 per cent Ger. man population, the peace confer, ence compromised by setting upl Danzig and some surrounding ter-i ritory as free, to be administered by the League of Nations.

He rushed toward Ann, catching her shoulders, peering into her face. She had a glimpse of dark blue eyes, straight, good-looking features, black hair sprinkled liherally with gray, but she couldn't think, for he was fiinging words at her.
 Jean you aren't you can't be Jean Ann Why it's been 25 years I-I thought you were dead"
 I'm sorry" She stumbled for words. Her head was spinning.

 "1'm not drunk, but I'm crazy, I think, seeing ghosts. She's the image of Jean-my first wife. But it couldn't be. Who are you?"
 "I'm Jean Ann Marshall" Ann found words at last. But why? Who are your"
 "I-I'm John Marshall from Richmond. I-I think I must be your father" he said.

GILBERT AND SULLIVAN

GAABERT AND SULLIVAN
 The names Gilbert and Sullivan bring to mind series of swift spoken, melodious comic operas that have been favorites with English and American audiences for more than 50 years. You shouldn't have much trouble with these questions about the compo- sers and their familiar works.
 1. Who wrote the lyrics to the operas, Gilbert or Sullivan, and when did they write their works
 2. What position in the British government was held by the "rul- er of the queens navy" in Fl. M. s. Pinafore" and what was his name2
 8. What was the peculiar room- sng arrangement of Cox and Box.
 {. Who were the Mikado, Ko- xO. and Nanki-Poo in 'The Mix ndO',?

everything was right. Her hair was rolled high in front and hung In rnane of gold about her shoul- ders. Her dress was write satin, slim gleaming sheath that re- vealed her white throat and shoul- ders, that fell in a swirl of folds about her ankles, with a lovely jeweled belt and clips.
 She hadn't realized that she could loow so young. Her eyes were shining. She had never looked better in her life. She caught up her velvet wrap. "'Bye, darling. Wish me luck"
 She ran down the steps to meet Ken. This was as she had dreamed, the wide curving stair case, the stately hall, Ken waiting, watching her as she came toward him
 "You're lovely, sweet.' He caught her as she reached the last step. "Lovelier than I've ever seen you. Everybody will be crazy about you"
 The car sped over the highway, into the Country Club driveway. The echo of laughter floated out from the clubhouse, the music of an orchestra, gay voices. So this was Farmington's society at play.
 
 It seemed strange to be dancing with Ken. She had anced with him only once before.
 DO you like to dance with me?" she leased, hre eyes laughing up into his. Remember I'm the na- tion's best"
 Like the breath of thistledown. I'll have to struggle to hold my own. See all these mee looking at you. I can feel rush coming on"
 T hope so," she murmured, her eyes dancing.
 The music had stopped. People were crowding about; men were asking for dances. Ann had never known this kind of dancing, this way of being rushed, had never heard this kind of compliments. Always before they had been of a sort of professional type-a trib- ute to her talent but now they were the compliments of gallant southern men paying tribute to a beautiful woman. They made her dizzy, they went to her head like wine.
 At mtermisSion she walked out on the veranda with Ken, clinging to his arm. It was chilly, but she did not even feel the cold as she stood by the porch railing looking out over the rolling fields toward Pennington, twinkling in the dis tance like a tiny jewel. The stars were so close she felt she could reach up and touch them. Cold she wasn't cold, not when her heart was warm and glowing.
 You've gone over big, Ann, my sweet. You're perfect. Everybody is crazy about you"
 Cars were racing into the drive way. There were shouts, more laughter as the occupants came up the steps.
 Who are they?' Arm asked as she watched from the shadows.
 The crowd from Richmond, guess. They're always late. No tell ing who 1t is. Well go in as soon as music starts and sec"
 The music was beginning again. Couples were drifting into the ball. room.
 As Ann and Ken stood moment at the entrance, watching the scene before them, there was 8 startled exclamation from 8 tall, rather handsome, middle-aged man stand ing in the stagline just little be- yond them. He was staring at Ann.

COUNTRY CLUB SURPRISE
CHAPTER VII

At last Pennington had recognized Ann. Slowly, fearfully, as if afraid it might do the wrong thing, 1t had taken her in. Neighbors had called. She had been invited to parties. And Ken had made 1t evident for all to see, that he was interested in her. Only his mother did no more than greet her at church. So far, the snuchsought-after invitation to tea had not arrived.
 That's just Mother darling" he explained. "It takes time ."
 "T1me," snorted Ann as she looked into his eyes. T came here the first of February and now it's March. Have you told her yet that you expect to marry me?"
 Darling" he proesed. You know I haven. She would be mortified to know I could be en- { gagged to a girl I had known less than two months. I have to go slow. l want her to like you and approve of everything we do,
 (Which reminds me. I'm taking you to the Country Club, darling, to the opening spring formal. You will get to know everybody you haven't met. There are lot of members in the smaller towns around and then they invite peo- pie from Richmond. It really is quite an affair. After that you won't need to worry about what people are going to say"
 I'm not worrying" She laughed up at him as the car slid along through the March night The moon was full and 1t made the landscape into a fairyland The faint frangrance of spring was in the air.
 T have you and whether your mama likes me or not doesn't make any difference. cared at first, because she was so snooty and all, but don't know, because ! don think she would ever like SYy girl you were interested in. She'd always try to keep you from marrying her, and she wouldn't think anybody who didn't have an army of illustrious ancestors was gcd enough for you anyway. So I don't really care any more"
 "I'n glad, darling, because I can't change her, but one of these days she'll unbend all at once and ask you to tea"
 Ann snuggled down against him, her head against his shoulder. Why argue about Ken's mother? Why argue about anything? She was beside him, his arm was about her shoulders, they were driving through a perfect moonlit night, and that was all that mattered
 "It may be too late when she does" She laughed as she spoke. 1T might have another engage sient. But forget about her, Kiss me and tell me you love me and let's think about the dance and what good time we are going to have"
 Ann planned for the dance eager ly, bought a new dress for the oc- casion. As she sat before her dress ing table that night, giving final touch to her makeup, Sally stood back and surveyed her.
 You look lovely. do believe you get more beautiful every day. And say what you will, this rest has done you a world of good. hadn't realized how tired you were: now you look as fresh as Q spring day"
 Thanks. I hope Pennington thinks so." answered Ann as she stood up and for the twentieth time looked at the full view re- Election of herself to see that
