Tropical Suits, FINISHED Woolens

WASHINGTON - The aver

manufacturer were TO close down
and every retail shop were to
withdraw its stock from the mar
ket. the Office of Civilian Re-
quirements says.

this statement because they out
grow their clothing, so that it

as much clothing made as we
would like to buy, and much of

on for a long time maintain
ing Wardrobes almost as COM
plete as they are now.
Germany held out long enough
so that mems fall and winter

the difficult cotton textile sit

from 80 to 80 per cent behind
demand, with some panic buying
causing artificially exaggerated

Congress Convenes Al Noon; Dissension
 Interrupts Senate

f- W A 5 HIN GTON. Jan. 3.--The Seventy Ninth congress convened in war-born solemnity as the nation eirded for a critical year both at home and abroad.
 Both chambers were gavelled into being promptly at noon as spectators crowded the galleries to watch as newly elected members were for mally inducted.

 A Senatorial Investigating com inittee has been inquiring into Cape ;lart's election. While Senator Ball, a member of the subcommittee that made the inquiry, said he found nothing to warrant further inyesti- gstion, other members urged that the Justice Department look into the case
 Charges were made by many In- diana citizens that they were denied the right to vote.

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP PINES, Jan. 3-Formosa figured for the first time in a communique from this headquarters with the announcement that Navy patrol planes, attached to Gen. MacAr- thurs Southwest Pacific Command made penetration north into Japanese waters.

 The new long-range blow came after fighter bombers operating from Leyte and Mindoro fields in the Central Philippines hammered targets and shipping on vital Luzon Island. Warehouses, railroad in- stallations, power plant, and wharves in the southern part of Luzon were attacked.
 The communique said that me- dium bombers operating over Luzon north of Manila caused fires and explosions at Laoag and sank a 2,000 l. ton merchantmen gunboat off the coast. Mitchell bombers started fires on the Negros air. drome in the Central Philippines and patrol boats sank four barges in that same area.

PEARSON'S LETTER TO CHJJRCHHL RECALLED


 Editors Note)-On September 19, Drew Pearson wrote pro- phetic open letter to Winston Churchill warning that American public opinion would be upset over your Governments insist ence on keeping King George of Greece on the throne of that country despite the overwhelm- ing opposition of the people he is supposed to rule. Americans don't believe in using their ar mics, their war goods, and their prestige, even indirectly, to keep kings in power. That is not why we entered the war"
 Pearson also warned in his letter to Churchill of the danger of iso- IatiOnist sentiment being revived in the U.S.A. He told Churchill: This is crucial moment in the tide of events when American opinion, if caught and carried forward by bold and generous international statesmanship, will go to any lengths for permanent peace. But if disillusiOned, it will do just the opposite"

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Lt. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-T 18th Con- gress, meeting for it's first session today, will stage some of the stormiest debates since war broke in criticism of Roosevelt's foreign policy.
 Some of these diatribes are going to be justified. A lot of the Presi- dents own devoted supporters in the Senate feel that he has Swerved from the ideals of the Atlantic Charter, has not been tough enough with our Allies in insisting that we stick to our basic goals for permanent peace.
 In fact as the new year begins, nothing is more on the minds of the American public, next to the Belgian counter offensive, than the problem of Allied cooperation. Criticism of our Allies has in- creased all over the country. Con- gress merely reflects the country.
 But in expressing criticism, two things are important: CD differ entiation between Allied Govern ments and Allied people; @ the fact that the Allied people are making tremendous sacrifices which we sometimes forget.
 For instance, Winston Churchill today has no more vigorous critics than the British press, Parliament, and members of his own Cabinet when it comes to Greece. Almost the entire British cabinet was lined up solidly against him, which was why he flew to Athens personally. Pressure from inside Britain was so great that he had to act and act in hurry.

CONDUCT TEST
 OF ULTRAVIOLET IN CLASSROOMS

Schenectady, N. Y, June 21 - (UP)-The New York State Educa- tion Department. in collaboration with the General Electric Co. has hit on a new idea to keep Johnny in school.
 It has agreed to installation of germ-killing ultraviolet ray lamps in class rooms on an experimental basis in the hope they may con- trol epidemics of measles, chicken pox and humps.
 Three large central rural schools in upstate New York have been chosen as the proving ground The choice was made because all three schools were constructed recently on the same general plan.
 All have similar ventilating sys- tems circulating the same amount of air per pupil. Each school has & full-time nurse and the health records for the past several years are reported to be good. The stu dent populations are comparable with respect to size and come from homes of similar social and econo- mic standing.
 Also, the schools are not close to large city and no large war in- dustry has been introduced in their midst which might cause an influx for workers, disrupting conditions.
 In one of the schools, all rooms have been fitted with the ultra violet lights. In another, half of the grade school rooms have been equipped and the others have not. In a third school, no installations have been made but health and ventilation records. similar to those of the other two schools are being kept for the purposes of compari- son.
 Tests to determine the bacterial contamination of the air in rep resentative rooms with and with out ultraviolet lights will be made The ultra violet light intensity and bactericidal activity of the lamps also will be studied periodically.
 But the experiment will not end there. Data to be kept over a period of several years will include the occurrence of measles, chickenpox and humps among the school
