NOPIIOMOKK CONORKMMMKN unheralded sequel on Capitol Hill. Day after the White House party, 10 iceondterrri house Democrat* held a luncheon in Speaker Sum Rayburn'* prlvute dining room, at which there waa considerable good- natured. and some not so good-na­ tured, grousing about the Presi­ dent'* relations with congress. Object of the luncheon, arranged by Rep Oren Harris of Arkansas, was to enable the second-termers to •'console'' eac|j other for not being Invited to the White House for a party when they were freshmen. Among others, Rep Sam Russell and Eugene Worley of Texas took great delight In joshing Rayburn: "Sam, why can't you get us an In­ vitation to the White House?" However, the luncheon took a se­ rious turn when scrappy Rep. Ed­ ward Hebert of Louisiana lambusted the White House for not consulting with congress on new legislation, and criticised his colleagues for submit­ ting to White House "dictates.” Ob­ serving that only 28 of the 45 Demo­ cratic freshmen of the Inst ses­ sion survived the November elec­ tions, the Louisianan declared: "If a lot of u* had paid more at­ tention to our constituents instead of to White House advisers, there wouldn't be so few of us here to- , day. In the last year of Huey Long's tenure, he controlled both bouses of the Louisiana legislature complete ly except for one man. Hut Huey didn't try to ram through any bills without letting each man know what was going on and making him feel like he had a stake in the program. We in congress haven't been treated like that " Hebert said he held no enmity against the House leadership, add­ ing to Raybum: "I've always been very fond of you. but I've never been able to vote for you on a national ticket. I hope I will be able to cast my ballot for you next year, either as top man or running mate on the Democratic ticket " This brought loud cheers from the iuncheoncrs and blushes from Ray­ burn. who responded with a fatherly lecture urging those present not to let personal animosities influence their actions in congress. e e e AMERICAN BOMBERS Despite the criticism you may hear of American plane*. U. 5 *ir‘ men who have studied the current bombings of Europe say privately that one American bomber is worth flve of the British. American planes ar* heavily armed and heavily armored Able to protect themselves, they oper­ ate in the daylight, with precision bombing, whereas the British planes, flying at night, must lay down a pattern of bombs over a whole area, hoping that the princi­ pal target will be hit. British plane* can carry ■ heavi­ er load of bombs, but the fewer bombs carried by the American planes are more effective because they go straight to the target. Further. American planes have suflered fewer losses proportionately than the British, both operational and combat losses. In fact the American contribu­ tion is so important that the all- out bombing of Germany must await the availability of more U. S planes. Most people think there is a heavy concentration of American planes in England now. and that the current round-the-clock bombings are the big show. Neither is correct. There was a concentration of U. S. planes In England last summer and fall, made with intended publicity. Thia had the effect of sending the Nazis scurrying all over western Eu­ rope to mend their defenses. Then U. S. air strength was pulled out of England for the mission it had been Intended for—the invasion of North Africa. U. S. air strength in England I* now being built up again, and when the time comes, the two air force* combined will stage the show in­ tended to knock Germany out of the war. • • • • • MR*.

As the capital of any country Is where its government is, capitals of quite a number of European countries are "somewhere in Eng­ land" at the moment, and will continue to be until the war is ended. The capital of France these days changes so rapidly that it is hard to keep up with it. In the hearts of all true Frenchmen the capital is Paris, but the Vichy government ha* already been set up at Bor­ deaux, Tours, and Vichy. Bordeaux was the French capi­ tal during the Franco-Prussian war last century, and centuries ago it was the capital of English France during the reign of Rich­ ard II. In those days a consid erable part of France was a Brit­ ish colony. The last remnants of it are the Channel islands. During the last war, the king of the Belgians set up his headquar­ ters at La Panne, a holiday resort. This colorful patchwork may then be used for a new cover tor a comforter. Another idea is to cover a worn woolen blanket with it. The result will be a warm and luxurious quilt that will last for year*. RAZOR BLADES Wauhlngtun. I>. C.
