Ronkin,Hook SwapPunches
By DOROTHY WILLIAMS

Washington, Feb. g = (U.P0 - The house awaited the final round bell today to see who would emerge victorious in the bloodless, nearly blowless fight between Representa- tives John E. Rankin, D., Miss, and Frank E. Hook, D., Mich.
 Second for the shaggy-haired, 62- year-old Rankin, who weighs l45 pounds, were trying to muster a ma- jority vote to pass a resolution cen- suring Hook. Their charge: that Hook, tho 52-year-old, 195-pound former wrestler, lumberjack and miner, used abusive language ln house debate against Rankin.
 Exactly what that language was seemed debatable. The battle on the floor of the house was touched oil by Rankin'S charge yesterday that Hook, who was elected with the help of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, was a Communist.
 Official records showed that Hook retaliated by calling Rankin "a - liar" But at least four news correspondents maintained, as Hook did later, that he termed Rankin "a dirty liar"
 The fight followed. Hankin moved in on Hook, removed the Stocky Michigander's glasses and swung at him. Hook threw his arms about Rankin, who tugged and pulled at his opponents hair until colleagues separated them.
 From Hooks corner came decla- ration by Representative John Les inski, D., Mich, chairman of the Michigan Democratic delegation. He said that if resolution to censure Hook were introduced, he would counter with similar action against Rankin.
 I've read the record and believe that Rankin was the aggressor, LesinSki said. T believe what's good for one is good for the other. He called Hook a Communist and Hook called him a liar.
 He walked up to Hook and struck him. think Rankin aggravated the situation"
 From the Rankin camp, Repre- SentatlVeS Howard w. Smltn, O., va, and Eugene E. Cox. D., Ga, issued the following statement:
 While the urge on the part of the membership of the house is to offer a resolution of expulsion, 1t is our opinion thta such action would be harsh, and, therefore, We have counSelled that a resolution of cen- sure be offered instead"
 A resolution to expel . member requires a two-thirdS vote; Q mo- ton of censure, a simple majority. If censure Is voted, the speaker arises and announces that in com- pliance with the wishes of the men- bership, he is hereby cenSuring the member fin question.
 It was believed that Democratic leaders might attempt to persuade

FAT IMPORTS CUT OFF

Before the war, a billion pounds of fats were imported every year from the Philippines. Malaya and Java. Of course, we don't get them now, but at the same time, de- mands for fats for war purposes have tremendously increased. So 1t is vital to keep on saving used kitchen fats. Every drop is needed.

FAT IS WAR WEAPON

Your used kitchen fat is vital weapon of war. Save 1t, turn it in, to make explosives, fuel for flame throwers and hundreds of other munitions. It helps the wounded, too. Many battlefield medicines re- quire used cooking fat in their manufacture. Save and turn in used cooking fat for cash and extra ration points.

Good Evening.

Ihave tried to visualize and to appreciate the World of Tomorrow as seen through the eyes of statesmen
 military leaders, economists and others who see through colored glasses and result generally mprac- tca But tonight seeing the future world as seen through the eyes of woman and am in sympathy with
 he World Women Want. It is pictured with impress ave simplicity It yearnS not for unatainabeS but let Hlda HeSSon president of the Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Womens Clubs present her ideal in her worlds "I can see 1.-the world women want and centerS around thingPeace, not just the end of the war; but Peace in all its connotatons Peace in mems hearts instead of greed and hate Peace in all lands where again the landscape may smile; Peace that means no dread of the years ahead that
 means security and the guarantee that no future gen. eraton will have to endure the death destruction and disaster that twice in our lifetime have claimed the youth and beauty of the world. The world women want is world of orderly things, world of homes and churches world that not only presents the opportun- y for education for congenia work for security but them to those who crave them The world women want is world where Christian principles and Christian ethics prevail and where onOpolieS trusts and com pines no longer have power to seize for their own the riches of the earth for what does it profit man if he gain the whole world and lose his Sou? The world want is where all may live full lives not one where many just exis world where there is desire to live and let ve where there longer fabulous wealth and hideous poverty. The world women want is one where people of every country strive to understand, appreciate and enjoy the people fthe earth The world women want is one where and women stand to- geher sharing responsibility and work and struggling together not towards an impossible ideastc paradise but towards Peace Order and Understanding, that this may be better world for happier people"

Before putting the sprayer away
for the winter, be sure to clean it
thoroughly. BY removing all spray
residue now, the life of the average
tank will be greatly prolonged.
IN moving sprawling shrubs or
those with long branches, the tank
may be made easier by wrapping a
piece of burlap around them. It
will hold the branches out of the
way.
You need not wait until killing
frost to remove the tops Of peren-
malls. If the leaves have withered,
cut them back.
For indoor use, cut chrysanthe-
NUNS just as they begin to show
color. Be sure to remove all foliage
from the lower part of the stems,
because submerged foliage quickly
fould the water. Split chrysanthe-
mum stems to made the blossoms
last longer.

Lilly bulbs are often not received
until late in the winter, after the
ground is frozen. It is well to pre-
pare the bed for lilies now, and then
to cover it with leaves or anything
else that will keep the ground from
freezing. Then. when the lilies are
received, it will not be difficult to
plant them.

5ELA55IE READIE5 WAR
BILL FOR ITALY

w A S H | N G T 0 N Feb. 27
(ANP)-A heavy bill of war in
IDENTITIES against Italy is being
prepared by Emperor Halle Selas-
sic, it is reported from authorita-
tive sources. Ethiopia has not re-
sumed diplomatic relations with
the Italians, and the bill is more
than likely to be presented through
the British and American embas-
sizes.
He plans to send along with the
bill dossier detailing the destruc-
tion and atrocities committed by
the Italians giving full accounts of
everything that happened in the
empire, even during his absence in
England.
Diplomatic observers suggest
that London and Washington are
awaiting the emperor's communi-
cations with embarrassment since
the Ethiopian charges will hinder
their policy Of restoring Italy's sta
tus. However, the charges must re-
ceive attention unless the world
powers lose 'face' in their atti-
tudes toward smaller and weaker
members Of the united nations, it
