CAPITAL ‘SOLD ON MME. CHIANG |

Gracious 1st Lady of China Swings Congress Into ‘Do

Something Mood.’

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (U. P.).— Mme. Chiang Kai-shek today rode a wave of popularity unparalleled of its kind in Washington's history. The consensus was that the gracious and lovely wife of China's

fighting generalissimo had in a day's brief span completely conquered the capital in behalt of her bleeding country. Here frankly to ask more help for.

i | China’s five-and-a-half-year strug-

gle against a mutually detested enemy, she had captivated both congressmen and government officials, not only with her beauty and charm, but also by the moving and forceful logic of her address to congress. Galleryites—among them high government and diplomatic personages—and congressmen alike were deeply stirred by her eloquent but dignified and subtly presented state-

‘ment of China’s great need.

primary reason for her trip to this country last November, Mme,

plain that her visit to the capital was to be no mere social occasion. The only social event thus far planned for her will be a reception at the Chinese embassy. Congressional comment after her visit to the capitol yesterday left no doubt that both the house and senate are in a mood, as one con-

.gressman put it, to “do something

practical about China.” Her voice, it was generally agreed, was the most forceful yet raised here by a champion of immediate all-out war against Japan by the united nations. Among government officials the comment of Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles was typical: “It is almost impossible to use words to describe the «effectiveness of her speech.” :

‘Most Important in 18 Years’

Not a single congressional voice, Republican or Democratic, was raised after the address in even qualified disparagement. Senator Scott W. Lucas (D. Ill.) seemed to speak for his fellows when he said, “I am in favor of giving everything we can to get aid to China.” Rep. Charles A. Eaton of New Jersey, ranking Republican member of the house foreign affairs committee, said that “Mme. Chiang was sent by Almighty God to summon America to her duty.” “In my judgment,” he said, “it was the profoundest and most important speech made by any foreign representative in the 18 years I have been a member of congress. We must save China if we want to save ourselves.” Many a senator and representative used such words as “brilliant,” “magnificent,” “superb,” “marvel-

Byrd Disputes F.D. R. as a 'Miser'

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (U. P.). —President Roosevelt's characterization of himself as a -“miser” and “econcmizer” of government money was challenged today by Senator Harry F. Byrd (D. Va.). Byrd, chairman of the joint. congressional economy committee, said in a" statement that the president's picture of himself would have been more convincing “had it been based on more solid substance.” Mr. Roosevelt, in opposing the congress’ move to cut off the national resources planning board without a penny for the year beginning July 1, called those ade vocating such a step “spendthrifts.”

T BE SATISFIED”

Byrd charged that a bureau cratic government had been built to such gigantic and unwieldly” proportions as to present a serie ous obstacle to full use of manpower and resources on winning the war. Therefore, he concluded, poste war planning must become the “responsibility of congress.”
