BROWN Member o f Congress, . Seventh Ohio District The Lease-Lend Bill will soon' be coder debate on the Floor o f the Sen­ ate, the-Fifeeign Relations Committee o f that body having completed'hear­ ings on the bill late last week.' On Wednesday o f last week Wendell Will?, kle appeared as a witness before the Senate Committee and urged passage o f the bill with several suggested amendments to further limit the un­ usual powers conferred upon the President by the - measure, i In his testimony Willkie pointed out that the greatest need of Great Britain at the present time was'ships, and especially o f the destroyer type, and urged that the United States begin to turn over to Great -Britain from five, to ten destroyers a month from, our present naval forces and from new construc­ tion. Soon thereafter Colonel Frank' Knox, Secretary o f the Navy, reiterat­ ed his opposition to the further trans­ fer o f American destroyers to Great Britain; that-the United States needed all of*Her destroyers for her own de­ fense and/for the maintenance o f a well balanced Navy. Previously Rnox and other-Cabinet officials, supporting the Lease-Lend Bill, testified ‘‘‘ that whilefne measure Would confer power upon the President to give away or otherwise transfer American naval vessels to Great Britain find other foreign powers that such action was not: being contemplated, and that any­ one who even suggested the President would-do such a thing, was being “ absurd.” , . Analyzing tbe hundred and si^ty-fiv« votes cast against the Lease-Lend Bill in -the House, it is found that prac- ticallyall o f those who voted against the Measure favor American aid to Britain, but were opposed to confer­ ring upon the President the dictatorial powers granted to him by the provi­ sions -of the bill. Practically all o f those who- opposed the Lease-Lend Bill in: the House voted fo r a substi­ tute. bill, and fo r amendments, that WOUldbave given*direct‘hid to Gfekt Britain as> completely, as quickly and as, efficiently as can possibly be ex­ tended under the operation o f the Lease-Lend law. Many o f those who voted “ no” on ■the Administration measure pointed out that while n great majority o f American people want this country to aid Great Britain and an even greater percentage o f thr United States citizens, want to keep this country from becoming involved in-actual warfare, as representatives o f the people,(they do belicVo that the passage o f the Lease-Lend Bill in the form finally) presented to the House, would brings grave danger o f Ameri­ can involvement in the conflict over­ seas. Sinfcere and patriotic men can differ in their opinions and judgments. Unquestionably every member o f Con­ gress voting, on the Lease-Lend meas­ ure—the most controversial measure that-has been-before Congress in-many years*—voted as his or her conscience and judgment told them was for the best interests oL jjieir country. Only the future holds the answer as to whether those who voted ‘'Yea” or those who voted “Nay” were right. The life of the Dies Committee, of­ ficially known as The House Com­ mittee to Investigate un-American Activities, has been extended for fif­ teen months >and a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to meet the expenses o f the Committee has been appropriat­ ed- Action bn the matter came in the House last week after a dramatic and unusual scene on the House Floor, For months Samuel Dickstein o f New York, representing the smallest con­ gressional district in the United States with but seventy thousand population, many o f whom are aliens, has been fighting continuation o f the Dies Com* mittee-and its work. Taking the Floor before-the House, Dickstein charged that one hundred and ten Nazi and Racist organizations “ had keys to the baok door o f the Dies Committee.” Immediately J o h n R a n k i n , fiery Mississippi Congressman, jumped to- his feet and demanded that Dickstein’s words be taken down as language Im­ pugning; the motives o f the House Committee. Speaker-Rayburn upheld Rankin's contention and upon a motion to expunge.from the record an hour’s debate followed, during which Con­ gressman Dies took the Floor to de­ fend the Work o f his Committee and to refute the charges made by Dick- stein, The House voted unanimously to expunge from its records the words spoken by Dlefesteln—one o f the most drastic- rebukes given any member of Congress in years. Then by a. vote o f 86ft tb ft the House voted to continue the Dies Committee and its work o f DIVORCE SUIT Myrta M.

Simison, Secre­ tary, Subscribe To TEE HERALD In the 1800 newspaper account of the'burial of George Washington, the letter “s” in some cases was written' as a character similar to “ f,” repre­ sented as “ f” in this story because there is no modern equivalent. The odd use of a supplementary character h the sound of “ s” was borrowed from the Greek by early English writ­ ers and printers. The use o f this “oth­ er s” died*away in the middle o f the 19th century. The ancient Greeks wrote “ s” as “ s” only at the end of a word and used another character when the sound occurred elsewhere in the word. By ^1800, this borrowed practice in English had so degenerated that neither “ f” or “ s” for the sibilant was likely to occurr anywhere in the word. The “ other s” still Ik Used in Germanic scripts—Editor’s Note, Written with all the floWery sen­ timent o f early American journalism, a description of the burial o f George' Washington, t » first President, is contained in the black-bordered col­ umns o f a newspaper printed in Janu­ ary, 1800, and now in possession “o f an Indianapolis family, The paper, a fopr-page, foUr-eolumh pamphlet about the size o f the mod­ ern tabloid, is the Ulster (Jounty Ga­ zette, which was published at Kings­ ton in Ulster county, New York, It is the property o f Barbara Jean, Cot­ ton, 5230 East Washington Street, a student at Indianapolis Indiana Uni­ versity.

Dr. Chesnut is a graduate o f and a member o f the Board o f Trustees o f <5edarville College. - Tho Sun-Telegraph says: ' “ D^. Chesnut sees a trend away from the social gospel and a return to theology with emphasis on the indivi­ dual’s acceptance o f the person o f Christ.
