special investigations by a De-
Tense Preparedness subcommittee
OF the Armed Services Committee
The subcommittee, which is head
ed by Senator Johnson (D-Texas)
and got $3.50, 900 for its work this
year, investigates CONSTRUCTION,
procurement of supplies, material,
munitions, vehicles, aircraft, yes
sells, plants, camps, and other ar
tlcles and facilities in connection
with the national Defense"
The Expenditures subcommittee
headed by Senator Hoey D-N.C.),
considers that authority a whole
sale invasion of its realm, which
has approximately the sam e
boundaries. Meanwhile, the John
son subcommittee hired staff mem
bers for tasks which, it is
complained, could have been per-
formed by persons already on the
staff of the permanent Hoey sub
committee.
FURTHERMORE, the report de-
clares, a subcommittee of a per-
manent committee, authorized to
investigate a particular matter,
sometimes finds its jurisdiction in
adequate. It develops facts which
require further Investigation into
related matters over which it has
no jurisdiction.
That happened during the inves
tigation of conduct of the Recon
s%truction Finance Corporation by a
Senate Banking subcommittee
headed by Senator Fulbright Cd
Ark. The subcommittee found
evidence of possible questionable
transaction involving the Mari
time Commission and possible VIC
lations of or loopholes in the
federal income tax laws.
When the Fulbright subcommit-
tee sought to pursue these mat
tiers, the witness involved baked
claiming the Banking subcommit-
tee lacked jurisdiction. He con-
coded that the Expenditures
Committee did have jurisdiction.
The Fulbright subcommittee
finally decided to refer those par
tlcular matters to the Expendi-
lures Committee and now the
Hoey subcommittee of the Expen
dltures Committee is checking up
on them.
All of that could have been
avoided, the report complains, if
the entire RFC investigation could
have been referred to a central
lied investigating committee. And
the Fulbright subcommittee would
not have needed the SIC, 900 it got
to investigate the RFC.
THE REPORT also declares that
centralized Investigation would

Seven Women Win
Honors For Notable
Achievements

In a setting made beautiful by
the hanficrafts of many nations,
seven women of achievement
were honored here on opening
night of the 2sth annual Women's
international Exposition, at the
Park Avenue Armory.
As Harold E. Stassen, president
of theUniversity of Pennsylvania,
conferred the respective medal
lions Nov. 5. he told briefly of the
significant and widespread contri-
button which each recipient had
made to human oetterment.
The seven women are: DR.. Alice
Garrigue Masaryk, sister of the
late Czechoslovakian minister,
Jan Masaryk, honored for her So
cial service work both in Czeeho-
slovakia and in exile: Mrs. Doug
las Macarthur, for outstanding
and unselfish corage in remain
ing in a danger zone; Mrs. Geor
gia Neese Clark, first woman to
be appointed Treasurer of the
United States: Mrs. Bessie Cots
field, for social service achieve
ment in Israel; Sister Loretto Ber-
nard, administrator of st. Vim
cents Hospital, for her admins
tative and instructive services in
bringing new luster, new mercy,
new depth to the field of nurs-
ing; DIR. Maria Montessori for
educational work on the interna-
tional level; Mrs. Edith S. Samp-
son, former alternate represen-
tative to the General Assembly of
the United Nations, for achieve
ment in human relations.
Public Service Lauded
Especially singled out examples
of inspiration and public serv-
ice were noted. These included
DR.. Masaryk's work in estab-
fishing a happy Easter in her
country, in influencing the press
to publish from Good Friday to
Easter Sunday no controversial
material but, instead, news of the
health, welfare, and folklore"
of her country.
In accepting the medallion,
DIR. Masaryk spoke of the great
success of the UN in helping to
preserve the individual culture
of the nations. The exposition,
with its rich samplings of pro-
fessional and leisure activities,
also bespoke the varied talents
of many people, she said.
Women Urged
Selection of Mrs. Clark, Mr.
Stassen said, is recognition of
the increasing influence, ability,
and power of American women
who show themselves capable of
directing the affairs of the nation.
Women's participation in world
affairs is changing before our
very eyes
Mrs. Clark, formerly of the
stage and at one time a Dank EN-
ployee. spoke particularly of the
need for women to participate in
politics.
Women have been in the fore
front of the battle for human
rights, Mrs. Sampson declared in
her paper. which was read by
Mrs. Gerri Major. In Germany,
Japan and India women are
serving this cause with honor, she
said. Women today hold high
office in the cabinets of several
nations, but the woman leader of
today realize she is symbol
of the aspirations of women the
world over, she emphasized.

Emily
Post

A newcomer in town is faced
with a problem: "Our neighbors
have not returned several of our
inyitations-one to dinner, an
other to a cocktail party and a
third to bridge-and I'm wonder
ing just how long we continue to
invite them without some return
on their part. They have all
called on me and seem friendly
but perhaps it could be that they
are trying to discourage our in
Ivitations by not asking us back"
1t is very likely that they are
not giving parties. (There are
plenty of people today who are
unable to do soD If you hear that
they are giving parties, to none
Iof which you have been invited,
then certainly you would not want
to continue inviting them. But if
they are not giving any parties
and are plainly glad to come to
yours, there is no reason why you
should not continue to invite
them.
Minister'S Wife
! Dear Mrs. Post: Our minister's
wife has asked our group to call
her by her first name. We don't
want to hurt her feelings but we
think perhaps you will say this
would seem disrespectful to her
position.
| Answer: This depends entirely
on her age. If she is very much
older than you, I can understand
your hesitation, but if she is your
own age. there would be nothing
unusual, or improper, in your
doing as she asks you to.
Tea Cup und Saucer
Dear Mrs. Post: When pouring
at tea. do you lift the cup and
saucer from the tray or leave it
where 1t is on the tray?
Answer: If the teapot is very
full or very tall, it is usually neces-
sary to lift the cup to the spout.
If the teapot is almost empty, or
very squat, the cup may be left
on its saucer on the tray.
