Bloom, who is chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, at-tended the rules committee meet-ing as its guest. He was not sup-posed to vote. Congressman Charles Eaton of New Jersey, ranking mi-nority member of the foreign affairs committee, also was a guest and supported UNRRA generally. How-ever, he began to tell the rules com-mittee of his strong conviction that a "freedom of the press" amend-ment should be included in the bill. Anxious to avoid more argu-ment over this, Bloom, though not a member of the rules com-mittee, shouted, "I move the previous question!" Rules Committee Chairman Adolph Sabath of Illinois banged his gavel and remarked, "The question is called." Members of the rules committee then prepared to vote. Not so Representative Clarence Brown, Ohio Republican. Turning to Bloom, Brown asked: "Sol, how long have you been a member of the rules committee?" Bloom flushed, while other mem-bers of the rules committee grinned sheepishly, realizing they had been taken in. "I just thought if I could get away with it, I would," Bloom replied. He did get a rule to put the UNRRA appropriation be-fore the house, but not without a good deal more discussion. CAPITAL CHAFF G.I.s in India report the U.
