Debate on IVA Curb
Likely 10 Delay Senate
Vote Until Tomorrow
BY J. A. OIEARY.

With debate on the McKellar
amendments abolishing the Ten
nessee Valley Authority's revolving
fund and requiring it to obtain di-
rect appropriations from Cororess
likely to last throughout today's
session, the Senate Is expected to
vote approval tomorrow of the curbs
on TVA--the second of series of
major issues in the independent
Offices supply bill.
The Appropriations Committee
won the first skirmish over the bill
late yesterday, when it resisted three
administration moves to restore cuts
of more than 50 900 900 in the budget
of the Federal Communications
Commission.
Majority Leader Barkley and
Senators Hill and Bankhead Of
Alabama, will make a fight against
the effort to curb IVA, but Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, of Tennessee
predicted the Senate will adopt the
committee amendments designed to
put the agency under closer con-
gressional control.
Two years ago the Senate ap-
proved similar amendments that
failed in the House, but since then
sentiment in the House against
revolving funds in Government
agencies Is said to have increased.
Senators Mead, Democrat, of New
York, La Toilette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin and Barkley fought to
stave of the cut in FEC funds,
warning it would hurt the war effort
by interfering with detection of
secret radio stations and analysis
Of enemy broadcasts.
Senator Mead's first motion to re-
store most of the House and Sem
ate committee cuts lost, 38 to %.
A second move to restore about
fourth of the reduction failed, 80
to "a. A final effort to restore $780,
600 was beaten on voice vote.
Contending the Army and Navy
''have the best radio in the world
Senator Mcclellan said today those
departments are fully able to cope
with any spy stations the Axis may
try to operate on this side of the
Atlantic.
Throughout the debate defenders
Of the FEC insisted it is not dupli-
eating the work of other depart
ments and that its radio intelli-
gence and foreign broadcast anal
ysis has been of service to the mill
tary, especially in locating lost
planes.
To illustrate the value Of FCC'sI
radio intelligence, Senator La Fol-
lette told the Senate that agency
located short-wave transmitter In
the German Embassy here right
after Pearl Harbor" and had pre-
vented the Germans from using it
Other controversial issues In the

Smooth-shaven Sometimes they
shaved off all the hair except the
mustache. In other cases they let
both a mustache and short beard
grow, but were careful to trim away
the long hairs.
The ancient Egyptians often
shaved their heads as well as their
faces. The more wealthy men had
wigs which they could put on their
heads when they wished to do so.
Alexander the Great, the King Of
Macedonia 2.275 years ago, had SOL
diers who wore boards. Marching
to war against the Persians. Alexan-
der ordered his men to shave off
their boards. BY doing this, he
said, soldier would take away a
| handle" which Persian could take
hold Of in hand-to-hand fighting.
Knives with keen blades were
used as razorS in ancient times.
Some of these had very odd shapes.
Hollow-ground razor blades were
first made about 140 years ago.
In 1875 British inventor pre-
pared guard for the old-fashioned
long razor blade. This was fol.
lowed by modern-type safety razor
with short, guarded blade.
| Safety raZors gained favor slowly
in the early years of the present
century. Since then hundreds of
millions of them have been sold. In
the past 10 years electric razors-
also of safety type-have found
growing market
