GOP SENATORS (Continued trom Page One) to the Senate last year to succeed the late Sen, Arthur H, Vanden- berg, a Republican, That gave the Democrats a four-vote Senate ma- jority—50 to 46, It also forced a shakeup of Sen- ate committee assignments which knocked Sen, Bennett (R.-Utah) off the banking committee to make way for Moody. The Democrats ar- gued successfully at the time that a ome-vote bigger majority en- titled them to the committee seat. Republican Gov. John Lodge of Connecticut has delayed appoint- ing a successor to Sen. Brien Mc- Mahon, a Democrat and adminis- tration supporter who died last month. But Lodge almost certain- ly would appoint a Republican Promptly if there should be a spe- cial session of Congress. This would cut the Democratic majority back to two—the same 49 to 47 margin which existed be- fore Vandenberg’s death—and set off Republican demands that Ben- nett be given back his seat on the banking committee. Moody would have to take some lesser committee assignment if this oc- curred. The Republicans say privately See the new idea in Venetian —- that if such a move comes they are counting on strong support from Southern Democrats. Moody stirred Dixie senators’ wraths at! the party’s national convention in | Chicago last month in a fight over an oath of loyalty to the national Democratic ticket. Some Southern- ers accused him of trying to drive them from the party. A number of Democrats on whom Truman would have to rely heavily in any fight for a stronger con- trols law have warned him pub- licly he cannot crack the Repub- lican-Southern Democratic coali- . tion which last June was instru- | mental in rejecting many of his | controls requests.

ARONOVITZ "sir KEY WEST'S LARGEST STORE eG bit ago? I was listening to 2 wonderful about a Defense Bond owner. A thrifty, pe person, one I respect and admire, Yous ; You're writing the most exciting success story the world even seen. And I’m proud of it, for you see, I’m gn team. I’m a Defense Bond owner, too, I wonder if you know all the good things that mean to us. For example: FIRST—Thanks to new Treasury regulations, every Series & Bond we buy begins earning interest after only 6 months. It earns 3% interest compounded semiangually when beld to maturity. It reaches full maturity value earlier (9 years 8 months) and the interest it pays is now bigger at the start, SECOND—Every Series E Bond we own ean now go on earn- ing interest for 10 more years after it reaches the eviginal maturity date—without our lifting a finger! THIRD—During the 10-year extension period, every unma- tured bond earns at the new, higher interest rate (average 3% compounded semiannually). Our original $18.75 can now pay us back $33.67. $37.50 pays back $67.34. And so on, POURTH—When we make ourselves and our families eco~ pomically secure through buying bonds, we're helping te build the great economic strength that backs up eur national defense. And this is the best security our money ean buy. For after two world wars we have found that peace is for the strong! U. S. Defense Bonds are one of the easiest, most convenient forms of saving ever invented. For through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work, you can buy bonds on a time payment plan. Just specify the payments, as large or as small as you like, and they will be automatically set aside from your salary, This way you save the money before you spend it. And millions of people have found this is one sure way to save, race is for the strong...fr peace and prosperity save wih U.S, Definse Bonds! The U.S. Goverament doce not siny for this odvertiving.
