FOR NEUTRALITY

Administration gion Way Take Program Directly to Senate Floor.

WASHINGTON. June 16 (U. P.).| —The Administration may take its

Senate floor if a deadlock in the Foreign Relations Committee threatens to delay action, it was revealed today. Chairman Pittman (D. Nev. hoped to obtain in Committee at Jeast a bare majority for legislation which would remove the present em- | bargo on arms shipments to belliger- | ent nations and re-enact the cash-| and-carry provisions of the present, law which expired May 31. | If a decisive vote is not reached within a short time Senator Pittman | believed two methods could be fol-| lowed to bring the abmimsshons; bill to the Senate: 1. Senator Pittman could ask the |

lations Committee from consideration of various neutrality measures and they would be placed on the legisiative calendar. 2, The Committee could report all the measures to the Senate without, recommendation. Administration leaders consider ‘neutrality the major obstacle to a! mid-July adjournment, in view of threat of isolationists to fili-| buster proposals to lift the arms; embargo. Senate Majority Leader Barkley asserted that claims of 2a filibuster are exaggerated. He intends to press the neutrality issue to vote at this session. i
