BE, WARTIME (Continued from Page One) mitted to name the aggressor na- tion In event of war and shut off supplies to such aggressor? The Thomas bill s 3. Must the President be required by legislation to refuse U. S military supplies to all nations at war, regardless of whethe: as in the case of Japan and China, this means disaster to a wedker nation and the possible strengthening of a potential ene- my to the U. S.? Yes, says the Nye bill. This somewhat harshly flies the purport of each bill, the essence is there. HOW' THEY LINE UP Stimson favored the Thomas bill— No. 2. He dislined the feature in it requiring the President to have con- sent of Congress befdre shutting off supplies to an aggressor nation. He believed the President should - have authority to act independently in that direction if he' consideréd it the best means of preserving the security of the United States. Sena- tor Thomas himself was of that frame of mind, but injected the requirement for congressional ap- proval as a means af abating op-| position of those who disliked giv- ing the vaslden( such blanket au- thority. Baruch favored the Pittman bill —No. 1. He conceded that it gave advantage to powers with big navies because they could come to the U.S. for supplies without having to de- pend on U. S. ships to carry them.| He agreed that it favored Env.]zmh and Prance in any war in Europe! because they could bottle up the to-| simpli- but | talitarian states, yet have their own ships free to transport U. S. goods. Nevertheless, he said, it was his be- lief, based on his: service as war in- dustries chairman during the World ‘War, that this method of letting na- tions know in advance what posi-| tion the U. S. would take would be the best way to keep the U. S. from ! being accused of taking sides in a war. Moreover, it would keep U. S. ships out of the war zone. He agreed with Senator Borah that it had the disadvantage of sed. As to the Nye bill;"it is the “com- plete hands off "measure. Tts supporters say the U.

ASSESSMENTS IS HELD DOUBTFUL Bill Before House — Don't Rely on lts Passage, Says Dimond There is no indication yet in ashington whether the annual assessment work requirements will be suspended this year, Alaska Del- egate Anthony J. Dimond replied today to a query from the office of Gov. John W. Troy. A bill before the House Commit- tee on Mines and Mining would sus- pend assessment work on mining‘ claims if enacted, but it is impos- | sible to tell at this date what the Dimond said. Last year a moratorium act was| passed, but not until June 29, the day before the close of the fiscal year, by which time the assessment work, which must be worth $100 and means from 12 to 20 days of | must be completed. “It is definitely hazardous to rely on an assessment work moratorium” | at this session, Dimond opined. | | RAINBOW GIRLS GIVING DINNER SATURDAY NIGHT Father- Daugnier Affair 1§ Arranged as Special Weekend Feature . | The Rainbow: Girls are sponsoring | a Father-Daughter dinner tomorrow night which will be given in the banquet room of the Scottish Rite Temple.

MACHINISTS LOCAL 514 ODD FELLOWS' HALL Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Gobbin Coven SAN FRANCISCO-BY-HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 21.—I'm up here to lock at “Alexander Graham Bell” and find out, incident- ally, just how it feels to be Nobody. There’s no better way to find out than to train in with a flock of movie stars, join the parade through the fan-thronged streets in a hig and fancy car—and have indignant fans peek in and, with a snap-of-the-fingers look on their pans, tell you so, “Oh, you're nobody,” they cry with curling.lips. Now don’t get the idea I'm a sensitive plant. I think it would be rather uncomfortable, indeed, to be pushed and mauled and clutched at the way Don Ameche and Loretta ‘Young and Tyrone Power were when the train chugged in. I think it’s uncomfortable, even, to be pushed and mauled in the backwash of their fame, forging a path through autograph- hunters who are tearing after Connie Bennett and Anite Louise and Cesar Romero and Kane Richmond and Sidney (Charlie Chan) Toler. “Oh, you're nobody!” they scream accusingly in' this direc- tion, stomping on a pet corn (which is Something if not Some- body) in a frenzy to reach Lynn Bari or Sonja Henie. Nobody. We must be philosophical about it. We must re- member that not Everybody can be Somebody. We ‘must remember that we have a happy home where we are Somebody. . We must see the Bright Side. We must—“ouch! 'Remind me, dear, to make a note on the uncouth lack of manners of certain motion picture fans. -Where are you? Lost, strayed: or stolen—one spouse! Ah, there you are—can you get back to.this side of the station? No? Courage, then . . . Coming throught! There!” Nobody. Riding to Treasure Island to see the Fair—through cheering fan-lined streets. .Strange faces:peer inside the car win- dows, cheers curdle.to insulting jeers. Nobody. That's me. One of these days‘I'm going to’jeer back. -Something bright PERCY’S i SEREE, D has an air — it's a congenial and delicious air_that pervades PERCY'S at all times — the air of fine food well served in tasteful surroundings. i like “And WHO dc you think YOU are!” Or “So’s your old man.” Something snappy like that. Thatll fix 'em. Philosophical, that's it. See the Bright Side. Like this: If you're nobody, you can. stand around (well, when you re not being pushed) and study fan-o-mania. _— i Ifryou're Nobody, you can be nearby when the young girls who have triumphed report their victory to side-kicks: “We saw Ty Power—and«he winked at us! He W!NKED at us!” (Some- thing to tell their grandchildren, ah!) . If you're Nobody, you can run across a little g\rl wha isn’t frenzied and dashingly wild—a. little girl who asks wistfully if you think there’s any: chance to get Loretta Young’s autograph, the while resisting the crush so she won't brush'against \the wife’s gadenias; which, are sad and brown from the C. Bennett rush. Such consideration floors Nobody, and he fishes out a Loretta- graph he got for'a gag last night. Making him SOm;bgdy in one fan’s eyes, at least. On the whole, though, it’s more fun ta‘be Nobody. UD to a point, however. The point is when they yell it at you. “You're Nobody!” Well, as T said before. “So’s their old man!” 1o fix ‘em!
