Adoption of the new rule may

Also, Senator Hunt, Democrat, of

The changes in the size Of

reference to where individuals

Actual committee assignments
cannot be made until the Senate
amends its rules to change the
number on each committee. The
question of whether Senator
Morse will be left on Armed
Services and Labor, or denoted
to minor committees, apparently
has not been decided.
Republicans were split as to
what to do about Senator Morse.
Some favored leaving him with
his two important Labor and
Armed Services Committee posts
but at the bottom in seniority.
Others argued that he should be
shunted to minor committees,
something he has said would not
surprise him.

Sits in With Lawton.
Mr.. Dodge has been sitting in
with Budget Director Frederick
]. Lawton for several weeks, to
watch the development of the
Truman budget. The retiring
President has stressed that the
figures ultimately developed will
represent his own ideas as to
the minimum Government spend
ing possible under the large
scale outlayS forced by the cold
war;. Throughout his campaign.
Gen. Eisenhower charged that
the Democratic administration
was wasting money. and his own
spending program presumably
will reflect that philosophy.
Just when the incoming Presi-
dent will present his views to
Congress are not certain, but it
is expected that he will blue
print most of his ideas in the
inaugural essay or follow that
document up with a direct word
to Capitol Hill. Mr.. Hagerty
said today 1t was not certain
when Gen. Eisenhower would
word his first message to the
Capitol.
Conference Seated.
The President-elect also was
giving attention today to build
ing his own administrative ma

He has scheduled conference
on Monday and Tuesday with

In addition to the nine cabinet
members, those attending will
include Mr.. Dodge, Mrs. Oveta

Federal Security Agency, and
Harold E. Stassen. who will di-
rect the Mutual Security Agency.
Gen. Eisenhower has indicat-

til tomorrow.

of fatally stabbing Col. Aubrey
Smith in the bedroom of their
Tokyo residence the night OF
October 8.
1t. Col. Howard s. Levie, CHIEF
defense counsel, will present de-
tense witnesses tomorrow. His
questioning of prosecution wit.

Smith as saying:
"I waited for, my husband tc

Eisenhower Ready
To Take Over Job,
Lodge Declares
By q s.off Correspondent Of tn. stor

ct Stoff Sofresponoenf OF Inc Stdf
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-An easy
transition from Democratic to
Republican rule on January 20
was predicted here today by for
mer Senator Lodge. Republican,
of Massachusetts,, who has been
serving as liaison man for the
forthcoming Eisenhower admin
istration in Washington.
Mr.. Lodge spent an hour with
President-elect Eisenhower at
his headquarters in the Commo-
dore Hotel today giving him
report on his own activities at
the Capitol. He then had lunch
with the General.
II think the transition will be
very smooth" Mr.. Lodge told re-
porterS.
General "On Top Of job"
Gen. Eisenhower is on top
Of the job in every way"
Mr.. Lodge also stressed that
the President-elect has a full
grasp" of the problems that he
will face.
Mr.. Lodge is slated to be the
chief American delegate to the
General Assembly of the United
Nations and he said there was
some talk about the U. N. at
today's meeting.
Gen. Eisenhower Is to have
another meeting with Britain's
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
before the latter flies to WASH
ington tomorrow, but the time
of the conference had not been
announced at midday.
1t seemed very unlikely that
Gen. Eisenhower would attend
the dinner tonight at the home
Of Bernard Baruch, the Churchill
host, at which Gov. Dewey of
New York will be guest.
Silence on Meetings.
The Eisenhower headquarters
has stressed that the President
elect has been meeting the Brit
ish leader on purely informal"
basis. but the hours the two men
are spending together has shown
clearly that they are doing more
than indulging in chit-chat.
Eisenhower sources are silent
on the subject of the meetings,
and since his press conference on
arrival two days ago, Mr..
Churchill has offered nothing to
enlighten the reading and listen
ing public.
In connection with the
Churchill visit, it was recalled
today that in a new story mailed
from London a month before the
election, Constantine Brown, The
Stars foreign affairs analyst.
said that regardless Of the No
vember voting, Mr.. Churchill
would be coming over to urge
the prospective President, who
ever he might be to seek re-
Taxation of the ban on govern
ment aid for countries doing
business with the Soviet and her
satellites. AS it was brought out
then these countries need this
trade to exist.
Meets Dulles and Aldrich.
Two key Eisenhower ap-
pointees, John Foster Dulles and
Winthrop w. Aldrich, called on
Mr.. Churchill at Mr.. Baruch's
home last night. Mr.. Dulles will
be Secretary Of State In the
new administration and Mr..
Aldrich will be Ambassador to
Great Britain.
1--WE had a good talk and COW
cred a lot of ground" Mr.. Dulles
told newsmen after the confer
ence. which lasted an hour and
so minutes. He declined to elab-
crate.

What a world of fun there is in the
home aquarium! It is real hobby, one
that will be content with one tank, or
may be expanded into dozen.
A goldfish in a small tank mot too
small. and not a bowD will do. or half
a dozen guppies, and here the bowl or
tank may be small, without particular
harm to the inmates.
Today's water. filled with chemicals,
is entirely different from the city water
of 1884. Then, the main hazard in
water was chlorine, and this could be
got out by exposing the water to the
air overnight.
Now, the water has a form of fluorine
commonly used as rat poison. and
entirely different from huorine found

1t is said that only very small ror-
ton of this poison is found in, say,
glass of water-but how does the ex-
pert know what may be in glass of
water?
Maybe the man who dumps it in

water has twice as much as it ought to
have.

The small green insects are beauti-
full, in their own right, sort Of a cross
between May flies and crickets.
No insect man could identify them,
which would have no standing at all
in handbook.
Fortunately, we have no desire for
an identification-the insect is enough,
by itself.
It can be picked up, but is so fragile
that one does it with hesitation.
In the air, it kicks those long hind
legs. and generally manifests a desire
to be put down, something that runs
through creation, as shown in the
house cat and many other creatures.
This insect is of the palest green. so
transparent that he may be seen
through, almost, but not quite.
He reminded the observer of some Of
