THE GENTLE BREEZE

It blows upon the hilltop, It blows down on the plain, It blows from every direction It blows before rain. And 1t blew of many chestnut Before the killing blight came around Then got so very busy And picked up all that could be found There's a breeze when all is darkness And breeze in broad daylight, It blows through all waking hours And sometimes blows all through the night. This afternoon went out walking There very many little tree, All swaying in a gentle breeze, A splendid sight that all should see Tonight am in my pleasant home, Everything seems quiet and so peaceful How can it be possible that such a war is raging, Over and beyond the great big deep blue But may we hore some peaceful breeze May fill aching hearts with joys. pv bringing back to again Those grand and noble boys.

BOYS USED HIS CAR NIGHTLY

Fort Wayne. Ind. (UP) - From now on, Dayton Keplinger of Fort Wayne probably will regard a low reading gas guage and 17-year-old boys with equal suspicion. Police have uncovered the fact that two boys have been using Keplingers car nightly for weeks, putting in gas if they had money and if not riding on Keplinger's fuel. Then they carefully replaced the car in the garage. The boys were caught when an officer stopped them to point out a burned-out tail-light.

House Will Take Up
Civil Defense Funds;
La Guardia Is Issue
Handling Of $500, 900, 900
Expected to Precipitute
Bottle in Congress
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A battle over a S100000,000 fund
to ready the Nations municipalities
against enemy air attac,. steped up
yesterday in CONGRESS with Fiorello
La Guardia, civilian defense chief,
as the issue.
House consideration Of the oppro-
priation will follow Senate
approval of the bill which would
leave expenditure of the fund up to
the Office of Civilian Defense. Eut
critics of ManhattGn's mayor already
have demanded on the House floor
that he be ousted from his defense
post.
The s10O,OOO0O0 allotment pri-
marily for purchase of auxiliary Ire
fighting equipment and first AID
supplies which would be needed IN
the event of an air attack, was
vhisked through the Senate with
little opposition. But an Identical
measure ran into snag in the
House Military Affairs Committee
which specified that the spending
should be done by the War Depart
ment.
Chairman May of the committee
said he would attempt to obtain
House action on the revamped Dill
without debate under suspension OF
rules. If this is done. a Senate
House Committee probably will be
appointed to settle the issue. and
its report may bring extensive de-
bate in House or Senate.
Latest criticism of the New York
Mayor came yesterday from Repre-
sentative Martin J. Kennedy, Demo-
crat, of New York who declared
Mayor La Guardias administration
of the defense job was disgrace
which might lead to a national
catastrophe"
Mayor La Guardia has replied to
his critics with the assertion that
great preparations have been made
although some defeatists, some
people with old alliances seek to
belittle the effort, seek to destroy
confidence"
