FIGHTING NAMES

Murray ignored the outburst. but Ellender, one of the better Louis- iana politicians, elevated to the Senate by his old friend Huey Long, kept grumbling. Finally when he made some inaudible comment under his breath, Murray called him a liar.
 Ellender retorted with a more descriptive name and then started to jump on Murray. Senator Stew art of Tennessee finally pulled him back into his seat.
 Ellender continued his con- plaints, without benefit of fist waving. He complained about a lot o1 things Anderson had done. in- cluding a newsletter to business men Anderson started to publish tWice a month. Ellender had re- fused to approve this publication although Murray okayed it via long-distance telephone and. &C., cordlng to Anderson, a majority of the Committee later gave their okay.
 That is the sort of thing the Committee should decide upon only after discussion" Ellender insisted
 He and Senator Wherry also complained about the size of the Committee staff and the fact that some staff members were borrowed from agencies of the executive de- partment-a common practice in the Senate.
 This man Anderson won't even tell me who the staff members are" stormed Ellender. I've been after a list of them for three weeks, but he keeps pushing me off"

Trieste
(WaShington Post)


 The British and American governments acted with commendabe promptness and vigor in making it cleal to Marshal Tito of Yugosavia that Trieste will remain under Allied control until its status is settled by the Peace Conference For some time the Yugosav regime has made bones of its desire to annex the entire Istran Peninsula including the port of Trieste, which as it happens has overwhelming Italian popula- ton After the German surrender in Italy, Titos fol- lowers began make good that claim by stepping into Trieste and taking the administration of the city and it's surrounding area.
 This move objectionable on at least two grounds In the first place. part of Italy at the time the latter went to the Istrian Peninsula clearly belongs within the of Allied military control Secondly, Yugosav fait accompli in Trieste would have set extremely dangerous precedent since it would have given excuse for other nations take unateral action to aggrandize themselves at the expense of their neighbors
 The ultimate disposition of Plume and the Istrian Peninsula, like the settlement of nnumerable other boundary problems that the war has brought into sharp focus should be left to the Peace Conference That is the only way anarchy can be prevented in Europe. At that time serious consideration should be given to the proposal that Trieste while remaining under Italian sovereignty, should be made into free port available to all the nations able to trade through it.

docked in a British port, with go

Touched Girl Now
Here for Training

Pretty 21-year-old Tanya Roberts
might have become a model, in
stead of a cadet nurse, had not the
suffering of South Americans
touched her so deeply.
Tanya was born in Danzig, the
only child of Hindu-English
father and a Russian mother. She
travelled with her father, a SYM
phony conductor, through Europe,
South America and the Caribbean
She speaks four languages f1uently
and many jobs were open to her.
But Tanya decided that more than
a inguist, or teacher or a pretty
model. the world needs nurses. She
has been in training at Providence
Hospital as a cadet nurse for the
last 10 months and will graduate
next year.
Plans Return to Venezuela.
After the war, Tanya wants to
take child nurse training and GO
back to Venezuela to nurse the chill
dren who captured her heart there

father in the early 1905 Tanya and
her mother settled in Caracas, Ven
ezuela. Tanya, at Is years, taught
youngsters to read and write-in
Spanish.
The medical conditions there were
atrocious, she said. She remembered
also the suffering she had seen in
other countries where doctors and
nurses were scarce in the rural
areas.
When Tanya and her mother
moved to New York several years

ployers began to hear about her
