Morse Asks to Stay
On Senate D. c. Unit
Minor Chances
Seen in Lineup
For New Term

The shape of the Senate Dis.
trict Committee and the 85th
Congress, meeting January 8.
began to take form today when
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, announced that he
wanted to continue on the COM
mittee.
Senator Morse has Just re-
turned from Oregon after de.
feating the Republican candi.
date, former Interior Secretary
Douglas Mckay.
The Oregonian already has
two major Senate committee
assignments, but he told re-
porters he still wanted to stay
on the District Committee be-
cause. he said, II have not lost
my interest in municipal af-
fairs"
Senator Morse is chairman Of
the Judiciary Subcommittee of
the Senate District Committee
and also played a major role in
congressional decisions last year
on the transit problem.
No Required Changes
The November elections caused
no required change in the Sem
ate District Committee. Aside
from Senator Morse, the only
other committeeman up for re-
election was Senator Bible, DEM
ocrat of Nevada. Capitol Hill
Iofficials said today they expected
he would remain on the District
Committee because he already
has two major Senate assign
ments and would lose nothing in
the way of Senate assignments
by staying with the District
Committee.
Senator Bible is chairman Of
the subcommittee on fiscal af-
fairs.
Some changes in the District
Committee lineup, however, are
expected. Members of the Senate
who were freshmen two years
ago, are seeking second major
committee assignments.
Mcnamara May Shift
One of these is said to be
Senator Mcnamara, Democrat Of
Michigan, who also played big
part in Washington transit
problems.
/ Another who would like to get
into bigger Senate fields is Sem
ator Case, Republican of New
Jersey. Reports also suggest the
same is true of Republican Sem
ators Hruska of Nebraska and
Allott of Colorado.
Capitol Hill officials said today
1t was sure that the committee
chairman. Senator Nicely, DEM
ocrat of West Virginia. would
stick with the District Com
mittee, as would Senator Beall.

ranking minority member.

And the District tuberculosis
Association, opening its annual
Christmas Seal Sale. on Thurs
day, thinks the Boren family is
"a glowing symbol of what the
seals mean. Mrs. Boren and the
twins paid a call on the District
Commissioners today to take part
in the little ceremony which
opens Christmas Seal month.
From Seattle
Mr.. and Mrs. Boren came to
Washington three years ago.
They had met in Seattle, Wash.
while Richard was in the Army
and Elaine was teaching dancing
in an Arthur Murray studio.
In Washington, Mr.. Boren, who
lis a graduate biologist, found a
job as laboratory technician at
the Washington Clinic. David
and Deborah were born a year
later. With their blond hair and
blue eyes. they were the image
of their father.
Then, a year later, the skies
darkened suddenly. Mr.. Boren
came down with a bad cold. He
couldn't shake it off and won-
dered if maybe 1t was pneumonia
or something worse. He made
"a test on himself in his own
Laboratory.
Through the microscope /
could see the bugs" he said. The
bugs" were tuberculosis. There
was no history Of the disease in
Richard Boren's family. but this
evidence was unmistakahle.
He applied for admittance TO

Boren arranged for his family

ferred TO the Baltimore hospital.
And after three weeks. his fam
lily was tested again. This time,
the tests we're positive. They
had developed tuberculosis.

6. o. P. Controls
Senote-Soys Here
By JACK JONAS

This won't help salve the
wounds of battered Democrats
who went down swinging with
Stevenson, but it seems-after
a sort of recount-that the
Republicans also control the
Senate. For the moment, any,
how.
AS of today, the Senate roll
shows 40 Republicans entitled
to be measured for togas as
against Al Democratic men,
berS of this exclusive clan. OF
course, it's just a temporary
arrangement, but even so the
G. o. P. hasn't had it so good
in the Senate. in a couple of
years,
There'd have to be a special
session some time between now
and January to get anything
done under this ideal G. o. P.
situation. Not exactly ideal,
maybe, because there would
always be the House to worry
about.
This G. o. P. majority comes
about because of the election
of Senator Cooper, Republi-
can, to fill the unexpired
term of the late Senator Bark
ley, Kentucky Democrat, and
the election of Senator Rever-
comb, Republican, to complete
the term of the late Senator
Kilgore, West Virginia Dem
ocrat.
Both of these Republican
gentlemen went on the SEN
ate payroll as of 1901 am.
Wednesday, November z.
They won't become full
fledged Senators until they're
sworn in, and that couldn't
be done between now and
January unless there's a spe-
cial session, and it doesn't
seem likely now that there's
going to be any special SEES
sion.

SuQe?

Some of the fellows in the
United Givers Fund office are
arguing about this one. Cecil
B. DeMille, the Hollywood di-
rector, autographed a UGF
flag to be given as a door prize
at a volunteers meeting. On
1t he wrote:
What you give you can
take with you;
What you keep, you leave
behind"
One group at UFG argues
that that's original DeMille.
The others say it's vaguely
familiar, but they can't place
it.

History

Mark CatudaI, reading
our piece about the sight
seers at the battle of Fort
Stevens in 1864, was re-
minded of the story about
one famous sightseer who
went to see that battle.
1t was President Lincoln,
who stood on a parapet with
Confederate bullets whizzing
about him. A young cap
tain, noting the tall civilian
in that dangerous spot,
shouted:
get down, you fool, be-
fore you get shot"
The young captain was
Oliver Wendell Holmes, later
Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court of the United
States.

Il. For atmosphere with

"2. Down around Hams

80. Or the wharves; or
AnacOstia Park.
"A. Or in a chiIdren's wad-
ing pool in some public park.
The kids probably would
like 1t, providing they were
of rather tender years. To a
child, the dOlphins might
seem just spOrtive rather
than stupid, and the stOrk, a
novelty.
IS. Out at the Zoo, in the
big outdoor enclosure where
the water birds are kept in
summer, or in some Of the
various pools found through
out the grounds out there"
Nobody suggested moving
1t, but 1t might be a good
