THE NEW CONGRESS

Converting of the Eightieth congress of the United States
marks the beginning of a new era in the history of the nation.
The Republicans are in control of the house of representatives
for the first time in 16 years and of the senate for the first
time in IA years, says the ndependent-Herald.
In the house, there are 246 Republican members, 1873 Demo-
Gratis and one Marcantonio. The senate is composed of 81 Re-
publicans and 45 Democrats.
A formidable array of problems calls for legislative action
as the new lawmakers begin their tasks, and new ones are con-
stantly being thrown into their laps.
Balancing of the budget, reduction of taxes and labor legis-
lation head the list of legislative tasks with which the new
congress will wrestle. Government costs must be cut far below
the forty-bilion annual rate at which they are currently frozen.
Taxes must be reduced drastcaDy and a beginning must be
made toward reducing the towering debt.
The nation, which voted for a change, watches congress as
it undertakes the greatest task ever faced in peacetime by the
highest legislative body in the land. The public does not eX-
pect the impossible, but it is confident that a real start will be
made toward solution of the problems that beset the country.

BICYCLES and Short
Skirts in Sweden
Nobody Seems to Care How Much
Their Knees Show.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.-There
must be no large city in the world
except Stockholm where the male
population knows so much about the
female populations knees.
It's all a matter of bicycles and
short skirts.
Ladies from every walk of
Swedish life fill the capitals streets
and squares with fast-fying bikes
and a journey on foot through the
city's thoroughfares is like a voy-
age in a see of knees.
1t is true that few women in the
world appear to equal Sweden's in
general modesty-that is, until they
get on a bike.
The males accept it all as a mat
ter of course. Bicycles have been
with the Swedes for a long, long
time and knees for even longer.
Both are here to stay.
Swedish ladies dress differently
from American and Russian ladies,
at least in the stocking division.
Here there are few if any rolled
stockings and round garters seem
to have no mission in Sweden. Stock
ings are firmly hitched to milady's
person, perhaps because of the BIZ
cycles.
Bare knees are sometimes seen.
The size and shape of a lady, or
her knees, have nothing to do with
whether or not she chooses to ride
a bike.
Different ladies ride the bicycle
differently and therefore have con
cluoed that there are styles in this
as in just about everything else.
Some employ the dashing style.
This calls for sitting very erect on
the seat and sort of sweeping
through the street.
Others use the hell-for-leather
method, a system whereby the rider
bends low over the handle-bars and
raises her knees almost to her chin.

Speech Is Same;
Sense Differs
When Yank Converses With
Briton He's Up Against
Bilingual Confusion.

LONDON. - Although Britons and
Americans speak the same language
they don't mean the same thing
by it. This colloquy between an
American and his middle-aged host
ess is typical of the confusion that
frequently results.
The guest, wanting to be useful
in the kitchen of a country home,
volunteered his services.
Accepting with thanks, the wom-
an said :"You might fetch me that
bathtub of apples from the hall"
"Bathtub? You mea from the
bathroom?"
"Of course not. I near from the
hall"
"Do you take baths in the hall?"
the American asked.
Very Odd, What?
"What an odd notion! We don't
take baths there. For that matter,
we don't take them anywhere. We
simply keep the bathtub in the hall
when it is not being used"
More than somewhat confused,
the American went CALAMITY into
the hall and came back with the tub
of apples, his face glowing with
the light of understanding.
81 get it now" he said. 81 didn't
know that you meant a wash
tub"
81 don't mean a washtub. A
washtub is made of wood and has
tin bands around it. This is differ
ent. Can't you tell by the shape?"
The light faded. The man asked:
"Then what do you S in the bath
room?"
"The bath, naturally"
"But that's what you do there
take a bath, that is. What I'm try
ing to get at is, what do you do
in it?"
"You bath in a bath. How COM
plicated you make it SEEM"
Bath or Battle.
II really would like to get it
straight" the American said pa
tiently.
"The way I've always known it,
you elIHer take q Ddtl, vi UdtllS, III
a bathtub, which is a white shiny
thing you find in most bathrooms.
You don't move a bathtub around.
In the country, of course, you some
times don't have a modern bathtub,
you use a kind of washtub. And
this thing with apples in it looks like
a washtub to me-"
"I'd never bath in a washtub,"
the hostess exclaimed.
"That's the other point to be
cleared up. Do you mean 'bathe?'"
"No, 1 don't. That's what you do
in the sea, or in a river, or in a
pool or something such as that"
"You swim there" he suggested.
Asperity having crept into her re-
matters were left that
way.
An excl. living in England
it was indelicate for a lady
to talk about a "slop-basin" at the
dinner table.
He was only moderately relieved
when he was informed the descrip-
ion fitted a bowl in which 10 dump

New Trial Is Granted
|0n Claim Confession
Wasn't Made Legally

District Court Justice Bolitha j.
Laws yesterday granted a defendant
convicted of grand larceny new
trial on grounds an alleged con-
fession introduced in evidence ap-
parently was obtained while he was
being held illegally by police.
The defendant, Joseph H. Davis,
%, of Arlington, repeatedly was ar
rested at 1890 am. october 80, and
it was not until after pm. that he
purportedly confessed to the larceny
of an automobile.
Justice Laws, in a written opinion,
remarked that evidence adduced at
the trial did not indicate police
knew at noon, when they picked up
an automobile the defendant was
reported to have been driving. that
the car had been reported stolen.
The opinion noted that the de-
fendant originally had been ar
rested on an extortion charge. AT
the trial, however, evidence was not
presented to show the necessity fol
holding the defendant from 12:5C
m. until 7 pm, it said.
mo explanation of this situation
was made other than the explana-
ton that the defendant was being
held for investigation the justice
wrote. THE detention therefore
would appear to be one under ag-
gravating circumstances, said by the
! Supreme Court to render the con-
| fession inadmissible.
The opinion held that, since the
Governments case was based, at
least in part, on the alleged con-
fession, and since it appears to have
been obtained during period OF
illegal detention, the court felt COM
PEELED to grant defense motion for
new trial.

In 1948 Urged by Group

Continuation of some measure of
District rent control to June 80, 1948,
was recommended last night by the
Petworth Citizens Association.
Although the act is due to expire
at the end of this year, members
advocated that landlords be allowed
moderate increase in rents during
the first six months of 1948. Raises
ranging up to Is per cent were con-
sidered reasonable"
The group also voted approval of
the teachers salary compromise bill,
now pending in Congress.
