Neutrality Revision
Debated in Forum by
Supporter, Opponent
Representative Arnold
Argues for Aiming Ships;
Vorys Fights Move

Two members of the House For
eign Affairs Committee, Represent
atives Arnold, Democrat, of Illinois
and Vorys, Republican, of Ohio, dis
cusSed revision of the Neutrality
Act in the National Radio Forum
last night. The Forum, arranged
by The Star, was broadcast over a
National Broadcasting Co. network
and was heard locally over Station
WMAL.
Representative Arnold favors re-
vision of the act and Representative
Vorys opposes such a move.
The text of both addresses fol-
lows:
MR.. ARNOLD: In a message to
Congress, transmitted last Thurs
day, President Roosevelt recon-
mended the repeal of Section 6 Of
the Neutrality Act of 1889, which
section prohibits the arming of
American ships engaged i'll foreign
commerce. AS consequence of
this recommendation there were in
trsduced in the House and the Sem
ate on that same day Identical bills
reading in part as follows: Sec
ton 6 OF the Neutrality Act Of 1899
(relating to the arming of American
vesselS) is hereby repealed; and.
during the unlimited emergency
proclaimed by the President on May
27, 1941, the President is authorized,
through such agency as he may
designate, to arm, or permit or
cause to be armed any American
vessel as defined in such act"
Hearings on this bill were held
today before the Committee on For
eign Affairs of the House Testi-
mony in favor Of the bill was given
by the Secretary of State, the Sec
retary of the Navy. the Chief of
Naval Operations and the chairman
of the Maritime Commission. True,
the ranking minority member of our
committee threatened he would not
attend. He had insisted on four
days Of open hearings. equally di-
vided. When offered the two days
of open hearings for minority wit
neSSes, against one day for the ma
jority, it became apparent that the
amount of time did not concern him.
What he was contending for was
that the hearings be made the oc-
casion for a Roman holiday, in
House caucus room. Well, the ma
jority knew that certain isolationists
had, on numerous occasions, given
Rome and Berlin great cause for
rejoicing and did not see the neces-
sity of having a Roman holiday in
the Capitol.

Hitlerism is the major menace
against which we are arming our
selves and Britain. Our Neutrality
Act is not a guarantee against our
involvement in the war. Modifying or
even repeating this legislation should
facilitate our defense abroad and
help speed a peace not dictated by
Hitler. Let us meet this problem
realistically" And the Philadelphia
Record has this opinion: There can
be no neutrality toward a monster.

Britain and her allies, air supremacy

listeners, could have been at my side
you would have said: What a wan

same is true of the other products

such a stupendous cost of labor, ma
terials and money, and which many
Of us believe may be the means Of
preventing the spilling Of the pre-

end, but until it does, let US be real

Crochetingg Has a
Gay Fashion Role

Crocheters, now is your big mo-
ment. Crocheting is rising to dizzy
heights of style prestige this sea-
son. 1t is nothing less than aston
ishing to see what novel and in
triguing costume. accents can be
achieved with crocheting. This
new enthusiasm for crocheting is
going big with leading designers
everywhere. who are bringing new
artistry and imagination into the
field of crochet design.
One of the most fascinating ges-
lures noted this season is that the
new longer length heralded for the
smartest wildly colorful suede or
fabric gloves is being achieved by
either gauntlet or mosquetaire tops
done in simple crocheting decorat-
ed with tiny crocheted flowers or
tiny ruff1es that finish the top edge
and then go meandering down the
glove.
Wool suits and dresses are cum
ningly detailed with pockets GRO
cheted of yarn in either a match
ing or contrasting color. A
crocheted patch pocket embroid-
cred in your monogram will add a
thrilling touch to your long MILDLY
like jersey sweater.
Other ideas include a border of
crocheting that widens the brim of
your gay colored felt hat Add a
bag and belt with related crocheted
detail. Cover big button molds with
plain crocheting adorned with an
applique of crocheted flowers. De-
signers are also bringing genius to
play in the crocheting of scarfs and
triangular head coverings. In fact,
there is no end to the charming and
unique uses now being made of
crocheting. ,".

nv ITH surprising artistry and
craftsmanship American de-
signers are setting a new high in
costume design. Especially are our
American style creators doing them
selves proud in the campus, town
and country ensembles which they
create of gorgeous colorful wool and
stunning fur.
Not only do the costumes pictured
rebound to the glory of American
designers but there is fascination
and patriotic thrill in the thought
that the fur, American opossun,
which is combined with the beautiful
woods of these stunning costumes, is
itself decidedly all-American.
The possibilities presented in this
new alliance of wool with opos-
sum are endless. Not only is opos-
sum fiattering young fur when
used for general utility costumes,
but through scientific skill it has
also been made available for dressy
daytime and evening wear as well
as for all-purpose wear.
A beautifully cut coat is shown
to the left in the group. The ex-
quisitely colorful wool stripe of
which it is made speaks for itself.
Now that fashion is advocating
color, women are going in whole
heartedly for coats that add bold
dash of color glory to the winter
landscape. The soft front fullness
achieved by skillful manipulation of
the stripes is decidedly effective.
The wide notched collar and cuffs of
natural American opossum are per-
feet with the subtle blue, lavender
and pink in the tweed.
When one invests in a three
piece outfit as perfectly ensembled
as the handsome model shown to
the right, she has underwritten for
herself feeling that wherever she
goes she is sure to be among the
best dressed This important en-
semble for town carries an air of
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1941-11-20

matchless distinction. The suit is
a masterpiece of fine tailoring. The
three-quarter length cape of Amer
match the suit will carry through
triumphantly as a wrap to wear
through the winter with daytime
frocks and party dress as well. A
sure, safe, sound and sane invest
ment, this, that will pay big divi-
dends in chic, charm and self-grati-
fcation.
Conferred in the picture is another
example of the intrigue and glamour
expressed in the alliance of bright
wool with smart fur. The coat is
lined with a plaid wool in glowing
high color to match the hood and
blouse. When thrown back the
hood forms colorfully lined collar.
The jacket and skirt pick up two of
the colors in the plaid. Mittens too,
if you please, of matching fur!
If your new wool ensemble hap
pens to be Of wool in the now-so-
fashionable magenta color, and if
it is without fur, you will look very
smart if you carry with it a stunning
huge muff of opossum, and, of
course, there must be hat of the
same fur to wear with it. The hat
and muf twosome is an accessory
combination especially cited among
topnotch fashions.
Colors highlighted in woods this
season especially stress browns and
dark greens. The new bright blue
is the talk of the town. With furs
it is outstanding in any fashionable
gathering. Amethyst tones and pur-
pies also are being played up to
heights of distinction in woods, their
beauty accumulated with handsome
amethyst jewelry and sumptuous
furS.

LYNN SAYS:

Attractive salads pep up meals
besides adding nourishment plus
to menus. Salads in winter are a
little hard to plan because of the
scarcity of fresh fruits and vege-
tables, so l suggest you try these
for solving your salad problem:
Prunes stuffed with cream
cheese and nuts, served with Or
ange sections and lettuce.
Cooked beets and cooked car
rots diced with celery, mixed
with mayonnaise.
Orange sections served with
tiny cream cheese balls. Mari
nate oranges in french dressing
first.
Canned pineapple and fresh or
anges served in alternate sections
on lettuce. Alternating orange
and grapefruit sections are a good
idea, too.
Chunks of lettuce with crum-
bled hard-cooked egg and few
leftover peas, tossed together with
salad oil, salt, pepper, vinegar.

Second Explosion Rocks
Radford Powder Plant
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RADFORD, Va, Aug. 7.-An ex-
plosion early today was reported to
have done little damage to a powder
mixing unit at the Radford Ord
nance Works.
Authoritative sources at the plant
said the explosion or fire was SIM
liar to one occurring about a week
ago and in the same type of building.
There was no one in the building
at the time and no one was injured
1t was explained at the plant that
the fire was controlled by plant
firemen and it was said the occur
renee was without importance in
the routine of the operations.
Powder ingredients are mixed in
detached structures, of which there
are a number, and each is insulated
from all others so as to make i'm
probable any extensive damage.
At other sources, not Official, it
was said that the explosion threw
dirt and timbers high into the air,
that the roof of the mixing house
involved was wrecked and that pro-
duction on the line in which it was
located halted for a time.

remedying some of the confusion
into which the industry was thrown
