And the fact that Fulbright'S mea-
sure originated III the House and not
in the Senate may be big factor
in what has happened i'll committee.
The nincty-SiN senators have had
all these months since the war be-
gan to shape resolution and put
it through. But no one there has
been sufficiently interested 10 write
such statement and push il
through the legislative mill. Now
that one comes up from the House,
it is unacceptable. and largely ST., We
suspect. for the very reason that the
Senate did not have first hand al il.
We would not pretend To say that
the Fulbright bill is perfect: prob
ability is to the contrary: few such
proposals are. But it seems to DC
Il fairly lucid expression OF what is
perhaps the mind of the country:
otherwise il never could have COM
manded the nearly unanimous bi-
partisan support OF the House. Oft
hand. we would say that smart minds
III the Senate will be hard put To
frame something better.
Pity i that the Senate is not as
jealous of lis prcrogativcs as this
when il gets rcamS of "muSt" lcgiS-
lailon from the other end OF the
avenue. and throws precedent and
t. the winds 10 do lis mas
tiers bidding with none too much
mind OF it, own rs 10 consequences.

Downey's Charges

What interests us III the assertions
of Senator Downry. California Dem
ocrat. III his broad charges III the
Scaatc amen, The father draft. is
the assertion that American produc-
ing capacity has been uudcr-cSti-
mated and has already attained pro-
portions by which Germany could
nave been bombed into dust and into
defeat and surrender if this mighty
air power HAD been umlcaShcd against
the Reich. The senator may have
been drawi"e upon his legislative
immunity i'm debate when lie said
that. but il = reasonable Ia assume
that he had some facts on which to
base his declaration.

Thomas Twins In 1914 Ice FoIIies

New Haven, Dec. g - A pair of Identical twins, except that one is five pounds heavier than the other, the Thomas sisters, are among the headlined stars with the Ice Follies of 1914 and will be seen in action with the great ice show at the Arena here next week from Decem- Der 13 through the 18th.
 These twins, who will be 20 come February l, 1944, are natives of St. Paul and the daughters of na- tionally famous female skating star. Mrs. Thomas encouraged them to skate, taught them herself, and then turned them over to male instructor. They started out to be private secretaries, and the skating was just for fun, but as a lark they made holiday trip with a transforming troupe and liked it. Their mother agreed to their insist ent demands that they follow skat- ing as a career, and the two girls snapped up a chance to try out for the Follies. They joined the show in 1942.
 The Thomas Twins are but one of the B featured acts in the cast of 130 with the Follies.
 There has been a great demand for tickets for the show and the Saturday and Sunday matinee per formances are entirely sold out. Many choice seats for the other listings, from Monday through Sum- day night, are still available, how ever, and may be purchased in ad- vance by mail.
 P. s. - The Thomas Twins are named Mary and Jane, and Jane is the heavier of the two. She weighs 122.
