put on a full dress ceremonial for Secretary Hull}
exactly as is done for the appearance of the president. . -From a bench in the press gallery 1 have heard five presidents address joint sessions. Some of the occasions were routine but often they were of historic rank as two years ago when President Roosevelt asked for a declaration of war against Japan. No such ceremonial had ever been arranged for a cabinet member. The rioor and the galleries were full. An air of ime portance and excitement pervaded the occasion. I felt, as I know many othérs must have felt, that this would be a long-remembered day. Only the highest achievement could evoke such recognition. That is not likely to occur frequently. This occasion stands apart. It is Cordell Hull's, It commemorates a deep national change of heart.
Sense of Unity There
THE SENSE of unity established in the joint session for Cordell Hull ynfortunately does not extend beyond the field of foreign relations. © On domestic affairs, congress and the executive are in bitter conflict. Searcely a speech is made in Roosevelt's behalf. Many Democrats are joining with the Republicans. Together Republicans and Democratic wheelhorses are refusing to vote real tax increases, and are on the point of wrecking the whole effort to hold down the cost of living. - They are joining to get rid of subsidies and hope to get free of price control, and they are voting to raise wages. * For half an hour in the house chamber today one felt that representative government was justifying itself in a new and realistic stand behind a great statesman who was converting vision into reality, But after Secretary Hull left and the crowd cleared out, the congressmen took up their hatchets and began to hack at the grotuind lines which are holding down the cost of living. It was pleasant to sit up theré in the house gallery while Cordell Hull was speaking and dream that good sense had taken hold of polis, All too soon it Was over.

These services will protect the home and still allow us to meet the demands of the war situation.

~ Climb aboard our helicopter and let's take a look at the
electronic home of tomorrow.
This house is not an immediate SR possibility, although some of its features are. It is a part of the more
distant future.
* Some of it will appear impractical, much of wildly improbablebut everything about it is possible. Electronics
has made it so.
Here you will-see the * ‘could be's" of electronics i in the ‘home, as envisioned by electronic engineers. Whether they come into being depends upon their public appeal and com-
mercial value.
So here we go, up the walk to the house of tomorrow. The architecture will be of your own choosing. The
electronic tube doesn't demand a new designs to do its work, nor will it make present houses obsolete. As you step along the walk your body interrupts an invisible light beam, snapping on floodlights to guide your steps. Other invisible beams about the grounds and house serve as burglar alarms, At the door you whisper a few syllables to a concealed microphone and the door swings open. The “password” can be changed each day, so strangers can’t enter. Instead of fumbling in his pocket for a key, the “night owl” husband will be fumbling in his brain for the password to unlock his door. 8 o ~ Colored for Mood
*ELECTRONIC TUBES converted the light interruption on the sidewalk and the voice sounds

are impregnated with phosphors,
a luminous material, so the color scheme can be changed in a second by Ewitching on concealed batteries of fluorescent lamps. No light switches are needed on the walls of this home. With the aid of a phototube, the lights gradually brighten at dusk. No matter whether it's dark or sunny, the lights automatically are at the proper intensity. Beside the telephone is a re-
corder that takes incoming calls
when nobody is at home. The device also sounds a "signal to inform your telephoning friends that you are absent. The mecsage from the ‘phone caller is
