By Associated Press)

Reports are current in Ankara that Britain has halted delivery of both military and civilian supplies to Turkey as the result of the recent collapse of British-Turkish talks.
 While there is no confirmation, Turkish officials are disturbed by the reports that are interpreted in some quarters as part of a cam paign to high-pressure Turkey to enter the war on the side of the Allies.
 In London, there is report that lend-lease arms shipments to Tur- kep have also been stopped, and one responsible source said the arms sent to Turkey were to kill Germans, and have not been used for that purpose.

WASHINGTON, March 2. - The acoustics of the Senate Chamber have been excoriated numerous times. Often newsmen, in the cen traily located news gallery just over the Vice. Presidents rostrum, have to dash for the back stairs and the floor to find out what a Senator said. The high vaulted ceiling, now buttressed with steel girders, makes it virtually impossible to do any thing about it.
 Both Senate and House chambers were designed in days when political victory depended more on lusty pair of vocal bellows than it does in these days of loud speakers, raido. and public address systems. In the House, all speakers have to come to the front of the chamber and use the public address microphone which blows up whisper Tn the Senate, such procedure would, I suppose, be considered undignified and a nuis- ance. The only solution offered so far was by a gallery hopper who complained that he couldn't see how the senators could even hear each other He suggested travelling mikes" which the page boys would dash up and attach to senator's desk as soon as he arose to speak. The way unlimited debate runs in the Senate, that would necessitate a page to every senator.

Acoustics of Senate Chamber Fearful;
 Suggestions Made

ably determine the date of the Democratic convention.
 It's no particular secret that the powers that be and even the Presi- dent, himself, would like to see the Democratic convention as late as possible. The factors that will de- termine a fourth term should be known before the nominations for President and Vice. President are made A reasonable guess can be made about them if the Democratic convention is timed as close as possible to the November elections.
 However, if the soldiers vote bill is finally passed in some form that will assure most of the several mil- lion overseas men vote, the Demo- crats won't dare risk not getting their nominees on the ballot in time to reach the fighting fronts.
 July IT, three weeks after the Re- publican convention. is now men toned as the Democrats most likely date, but if is unlikely that any time will be announced until the soldiers vote bill is either in the bag or out. If it's out, the date may be late August.
