For each bed you will need two

TWO mattress pads for each bed,

Whether you choose InuSHn OF

are usually more expensive. Util-

happy medium between muslin
and luxury percale.
However, if you get a good bal

1O8-inch length and the right
width. Twin siz is Y inches wide
and double bed size is 80 inches.
Pillow cases should measure
two inches more in width than

Bathroom linens should be

bS the ASSOCIATED freSS.
The Senate voted unanimously
today for an investigation OF
food shortages.
Proposed in an effort to find a So
luton to frightened supplies of meat
and other commodities, the resolu-
ton was approved by voice vote
without debate.
The resolution provides SIS 900 to
finance hearings by Senate Agri-
culture Subcommittee
A similar group inquired into food
problems last year, Senator Lucas,
Democrat, of Illinois said. in recon-
mending quick acceptance of the
proposal.
House Also May Act.
In the House, too, there was a
swift reaction to the food situation
and two members proposed inves-
legations.
Representative Anderson, Repub-
crat. of New Mexico asked creation
OF a special committee to inquire
into the food situation generally
and to check specifically into lease
lend shipments, foreign stockpiles,

markets in meat.
Representative Andersen, Repub-

ity for the House Agriculture
Committee to make a broad inves-
tigation and report its findings by
April /.
In House speech, Representative
Shafer. Republican, of Michigan de-
clared:
The House cannot longer evade
its responsibility in the acute food
problem with which the Nation is
now confronted. The most
elementary decency requires that
the proper committee of the House,
without delay, determine the why's
