Whether they will or not remains to be seen. Tho last meeting in the House in the Seventy-sixth Congress, also j the last meeting in the Ways and j Means Committee Room in the New House Office building before resumption pf pse of the House | Chamber, brought forth praise and criticism of the president’s radio j speech on aid to England “short of war.” One leading democrat in^ ; terpreted the speech as a “presi dential declaration of war.” Oth ers fplt that if we get into the war it wilt mean national bankruptcy and a possible totalitarian form of government Others believed that we cOn Bid England “short Of war” ! and yet stay cpt< of wan The gen- j ■■ -—I- ... ] I ■ Style Theft Owtitoed tog "VCwipU Roomings" In Mon (Mth-ToMM Steel Doan You rldo in tho body of your car at you live In the rooms of your homo; and you rldo In outstanding beauty, comfort and safety when you ride in a now Chevrolet with Body by Fisher! lox-Ghticr tracing Solid Stool Torre!

Nebr. eral feeling among members is that 90 percent of the American people want to stay out of war and yet give England all possible assist-1 ance short of war. As the new con gress opened for business, the im- J pression is that a vote to declare i war at this time would be defeated in both the House and the Senate. Many new faces appear in the new Congress. Many older mem-: bers have filed for better office j quarters, and there is general moV-! ing day activity in both House Of-. fice buildings. New members take j offices vacated by old members. The j Third District office remains where J it has been for the past four years, which is on the ground floor of the New House Office Building. The office number is 1017. Sub-committees of the House i Appropriations Committee have been meeting almost every day for the past few weeks. Before these committees appear depart ment heads and bureau chiefs bo justify appropriations estimated to be essential to operate their ac tivities for the fiscal year. Most estimates are increased as com pared to the preceding year. It will cost the tax payer a lot more money to run the business of the j government during the next fiscal year than it did last year notwith standing a general administration request to hold down regular ap propriations. With the exception of a few farewell speeches and eulogies of leaders, there was little ceremony attending the ending of the record breaking Seventy-sixth congress. A few speeches forecasting that the question of war would be much de bated in the new congress contrib uted the closing scenes. The thir ty-six billion dollar congress broke all records for on the job] in spite of many Administration de-1 mands to adjourn. The congress] automatically adjourned by con stitutional limitation -and members went right into the Seventy-second j Gengre s after organizing Mid being sworn in The new session finds two groups facing each other. They are now being called “interventionists and non-interventionists.” The stand of the former is that the security of the United States from invasion and the preservation of democracy require annihilation of the Nazi regime in Germany; the British fleet is America’s first line of de-1 fense in the Atlantic and that the United States should furnish Great Britian with such military re sources as are essential to the de feat of the axis powers. The non-1 interventionists take the stand that the United States should be suf-1 ficiently armed to repel any attack.] The two oceans are our first line of defense. Under that principle of American foreign policy, pertinent to the Monroe Doctrine, we are for bidden to intervene in foreign wars the same as we bar foreign inter vention in this hemisphere. They believe that subjugation of the to talitarian powers would require the United States to send our Navy and large land forces to Europe. On these two questions, many speeches will be made early in the new ses sion. More than 150,000 people have government jobs in Washington. The Washington Board of Trade predicts this will be a town of a million people soon. Rooms are hard to get and house owners can rent most any sort of available rooms. Trains daily bring in ad ditions to the army of workers. Many young men and women ar rive daily from Nebraska and from other states in the Union, having secured Civil Service jobs. Many parents of these young people come with them and live with them, hoping they, too, will get jobs here. In some cases, father, mother, daughter and son hold government jobs in Washington.
