ON NEUTRALITY

Nebraskan Voted Against War in 1917; Would Do So Again Today. |

By FRED W. PERKINS | Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. George | W. Norris (Ind., Neb.), the only re-| maining Senator who voted against entering the World War in 1917 would vote the same way under present conditions, but is likely to support the Roosevelt neutrality

policy which eritics assert is a step |™

toward involving the United States in the present war He said today, in advance of the President's

address to Congress on | neutrality law changes

or repeal, | that if the Administration's recom- | mendations of last summer been enacted then the present war in Europe might have been averted. Forecast War 2 Months Ago “I have vote,” said Senator Norris, who for| years was bitterly attacked for that stand. “I feel now as I did then. | I see no reason why we should get! into this war, and I would vote for no step that would draw us in.” | Senator Norris forecast with certainty two months ago that another World War was on the way. He declared at that time his lack of “Sympathy with Hitler, Mussolini or Japan,” and said that “the conduct of these three nations is barbarous, indefensible and inhuman.” “Anything we have a moral right to do under international law that would prohibit or retard these bar-

Col. Lindbergh Relieved Of Duty ‘Ahead of Time’

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (U. PD). —High Government officials said today that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was relieved of duly with the Army Air Corps “a few days ahead of schedule” because of his plans to deliver a radio address on the European war. Col. Lindbergh had completed his studies of research and air facilities for the Army and would have retired to private life within a short time through routine channels. The order for his “relief,” however, was issued before schedule when the Colonel disclosed his plans to speak. In his address, Col. Lindbergh urged isolation in Europe's present struggle and said America would not be justified in undertak-

provisions and substitute a cash-and-carry policy, criticized the adadress.

One official said that Secretary |

of War Harry Woodring felt that in viey of Army regulations, which | forbid discussion of political issues by Army officers, it was advisable | to issue the order relieving Col. Lindbergh of duty before he made the speech to avoid any possible embarrassment to either the flier or the Army. Col. Lindbergh, a reserve officer in the Air Corps, was placed on active duty by the Department last April when he came to this country after an extensive trip through England, France, Germany and Russia.

Pick Up Distress Calls

Two aircraft patrolling the Atlantic picked up the ship's distress calls and R. A. F. flying boats arrived at the scene 10 minutes before the ship went down. Pilots saw a tiny boat, crowded with men, bobbing on the sea with men clinging to its sides. The first plane sought for a sign of the submarine and then alighted on the waves and picked up 14 men.
