Mrs Luce-The young and very
able gentleman from Arkansas (Mrs.
Luce is two years his senior has
spoken rather loosely of what he
called my freedom Of -the-air policy.
BY his definition of what he calls
a proper policy, does he intend for
this country to control its own skies
and airports after the war?
Mr.. Flllbright--I would say not
any more than we now control our
ports under the traditional policy of
freedom Of the seas.
Mrs. Luce-I would like to ask the
gentleman another question. In his
speech he said inferred" this or
that. I inferred nothing. I i'm
piled, and the gentleman from
Arkansas did the inferring. ask
the gentleman to give precise pas
sage, precise quote from the text
OF my speech in which I said Amer
lea must control the sovereignty of
the skies Of any other nation.
Mr.. Fulbright-I don't think I said
you said exactly that.
Mrs. Luce-Give one passage in
which implied, inferred or stated
specifically that this country should
acquire air sovereignty in any other
nation without the consent of that
nation.
Calls View Implicit"
Mr.. Fulbright-Would you like me
to read your speech again to this
House? daughter That is i'm
plcit throughout your speech, as I
see it.
Mrs. Luce-You are inferring.
Mr.. Fuybright told the, House that
there is no denying it, our honorable
colleague Is a wit" He said the
word "globaloney." by which she de-
scribed some of Vice President WAL
lace's global thinking, is "a wonder
full word which convulsed the gall
lery."
Later. at the White House, "glo-
baloney" went into the transcript of
the Presidents press conference.
Reporters asked Mr.. Roosevelt If
be had kept himself informed on
the freedom of f-the-air issue raised
by Mrs. Luce. The President said
he didn't have time to keep up
with it.
Did the President plan to ration
slobaloney?

Foreign Affairs Committee to con-
tinue lease-lend. saying, American
prestige in China is at an all-time
