La.) demanded that the Senate refuse the Administration’s request. for repeal of the arms embargo. He said its repeal would constitute “armed intervention” in Europe’s war.

“Let us not entertain the fond delusion,” Senator Overton warned, “that raising the embargo is not a step toward war. Some of the American dollars will be following American arms and the American flag and the American soldier will be following both to the battlefields of Europe. “Our supplying the European nations now engaged in war with American arms will be -armed intervention on the part of America, because modern arms and mechanized equipment are the main requitements in modern warfare.” He urged retention of the embargo on shipments of arms, munitions, and implements of war from the United States to belliger-= ents with the additional safeguard of title-and-carry on all other commodities. “The embargo provision was not,” he argued, “inserted into our neutrality legislation chiefly for the purpose of preventing the submarining of American vessels, as now contended by the proponents of re-

Mich.), who spoke yesterday. Senator Connally urged adoption of - the Administration's program, contending that the present neutrality law leads to war. Senator Vandenberg appealed to the Senate not to make the United States an arsenal for European countries.

Taft Urges Amendments

Meanwhile, the following developJnents in the controversy were recorded: 1. Vice President John N. Garner was reported authoritatively to have told friends that the neutrality issue should be disposed of before Congress gives any thought to national defense.

‘2. Democratic leaders said they|

had sufficient votes to defeat Senator Tobey’s motion to recommit the neutrality bill to the Foreign Relations Committee. 3. Senator Robert A. Taft (R. O.) proposed two major amendments. One would eliminate permission for the President to grant 90-day credits to belligerents; the other would give Congress power to establish a war zone around all of Europe through which American vessels could not travel. 4. Coolness developed toward a resolution by. Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D. Colo.) requesting the President to join with other neutral nations in urging European belligerents to reach “an immediate armistice.” Clark Claims Propaganda

5. The Administration claimed to have won a “doubtful” vote as the result of Senator Connally’s speech. It was understood that this vote

belonged to Senator W. Warren Bar-.

bour (R. N. J.). He attended one meeting of the isolationist bloc. 6. Senator Bennett C. Clark (D. Mo.) said he intended to “raise hell” the next time the Foreign Relations Committee meets, in order to expedite action on his resolution calling for appointment of a special committee to investigate foreign propaganda. Senator Clark said that if the proposed investigating group functioned “properly,” The following spoke last night on the radio on various phases of the program: Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr., (Prog. Wis), whose father was one of the six Senators who voted against United States’ entry into the World War; Alvin York, World War hero; Dr. Maurice 8S. Sheehy, director of religious education at Catholic University, and Senators Tobey and Edwin Johnson.

A. Grimmer, 5271 Carrollton Ave., heard the shouts of Mrs. Bibbs and grabbed the garden hose. They shot water into the basement window and “were still at their post when firemen arrived. Firemen found the basement a “roaring furnace, with some of the coal on fire,” according to Lieut. Robert M. Newby. The men had to put on gas masks to enter the Yasement. ’ After they had removed the bodies and extinguished the fire, firemen found a small, makeshift fireplace, apparently constructed with brick and tin by the boys. The discovery of some charred rags and paper in the fireplace *indicated that the boys had* started the fire and that it got quickly out of control, firemen said. Believe Youngsters Blinded

Mrs. Bibbs said she was certain they obtained no matches from the kitchen because the box was plainly within “her view. She said, also, that she heard no explosion. _ Firemen said they believed the boys were blinded by smoke and

escape, and turned away from the stairway instead of toward it. The fire burned up to the second estimated by firemen at $2000.

7 Carried to Safety In Sanitarium Fire

Hot ashes set fire to a basket in the basement of the Reed Sanitaritm, 3245 N. Illinois St., last night, and firemen carried seven patients to safety. The fire did no property damage,

|but filled the private hospital with

smoke. Physicians in attendance said none of the patients, all of whom were carried to the home of J. H. Hopwood, 3240 N. Illinois St., was injured. The rescued patients were Mrs. Marina Clark, Mrs. Mattie Keany, Miss Mary Brown, Mrs. Barbara Abbon, Mrs. Lydia Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Mary Meismer and Mrs. Joseph Shipman. .

FEDERAL SPENDING NEARS PEACE PEAK

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (U. P.).— Government fiscal experts expect Federal spending to break all peacetime records this year despite business improvement. All indications pointed to spending in excess of $9,600,000,000, they said today. The peacetime peak was achieved in the previous fiscal year, which ended June 30, 1939, when expenditures were $9,268,338,030. The expected increase in many sources of revenue because of business improvement, they added, may be mitigated by a drop in customs receipts resulting from war-time shipping disruption. Budget estimates submitted to Congress last January forecast spending of $9,095,000,000 for the current fiscal year, which began July: 1. * Congress and the European war, Congress appropriated $300,000,000 more for the fiscal year than ‘the budget estimate. On top of that, the legislators had to apropriate $119,000,000 to eliminate the capital impairment- of the Commodity Credit Corp.

NLRB ORDERS VOTE AT VAN CAMP’S HERE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (U. P.).— The National Labor Relations Board split two to one again today in ordering two ccparate collective bargaining elections within 15 days among seasonal employees and truck drivers employed by Stokely Bros. and Van Camp's, Inc., Indianapolis. Chairman J. Warren Madden and William M. Leiserson joined in the majority ruling, while Edwin 8S. Smith dissented. The Board said it had evidence that the Amalagamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers of America (C. I. O.) represented “an overwhelming majority” of production and maintenance employees but would withhold _ certification until the company’s truck drivers voted on whether they also wanted representation by the C. I. O. or preferred the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (A. F. of L.). Seasonal , workers at the company’s Martinsville, Ind., plant will decide whether they want representation by Federal Labor Union, Local 21752, an A. F. of L. affiliate.

re TURKS REJECT “TWO DEMANDS FROM KREMLIN

British Say Russians Want Free Hand in’ Black- Sea. And Rumania.

"LONDON, Oct. 5 (U. P).— Turkey’s 16-year friendship with Russia is now at stake in negotiations at Moscow, it was understood today. Turkey was reported in well informed’ diplomatic quarters to have rejected two Russian demands: 1. That Turkey close the Dardanelles to the British and French fleets to keep them from operating in the Black Sea. 2. That Turkey cancel a provision

resisting aggression. The view taken in diplomatic quarters was that Russia was now seeking openly to dominate the Balkans and that Turkey was resisting stoutly. Dispatches from Moscow were taken to indicate that a climax was approaching. British quarters had every sympathy for Turkey, realizing that it was confronted with the choice of carrying out its engagements to Britain and France or loosen its ties with its old friend Russia—if not break them. A Daily Herald dispatch from Istanbul seemed firmly determined to oppose

dictatorship in the Balkans. An official Turkish spokesman was quoted as saying that the negotiations now going on at Moscow could

Germany. Russia’s second demand apparently was that Turkey should in ef-

kans on the Black Sea side and concentrate her interests in the Eastern Mediterranean. This would leave Russia a free hand to intervene in Rumania. recover the Bessarabian area which Rumania received from her after the World War, possibly control the Bukowina area of Northern Rumania which Hungary formerly owned and compel Rumania to restore also the Dobrudja area acquired from Bulgaria. In such a contingency, Russia presumably would be able to dominate the shrunken remnant of Rumania, and would enjoy dominating influ-| 8 ence in enlarged Bulgaria, Turkey’s next-door neighbor.

Doubt Russia Will Fight There was speculation whether Russia might seek to induce Turkey to compensate herself by taking from Italy Dodecansese Islands off Turkey's west coast. The general belief, however. was that Turkey would seize these strategically important islands only if Italy entered the war on Germany’s side. : The belief was growing here that Russia did not inténd fo embark on a war against Britain and Frauce, but wanted to keep Turkey | as well as the Allies from any interference with Russian expansion in the Balkans.

U. S. BOMBERS WATCH CANAL

Neutrality Patrol Flies Over Half Million Square Miles In Caribbean.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (U. P).— United States airmen are flying the Panama Canal neutrality patrol today over an area of more than half a million square miles of salt water. The estimate was that a dozen naval bombers were patrolling from dawn to dark frem the southern tip of Florida to the northern coast of South America. That patrol would cover the Caribbean Sea which Atlantic shipping must enter en route to the Canal. The Canal patrol was undertaken, it was said, at the outset of the European war and does not represent a development of the Panama declaration in which the 21 American republics agreed this week to establish a safety zone around the Western Hemisphere.

Therefore, it is a patrol of surveil-|:

prevent hostile’ ‘acts beyond the

strict limits of our territorial ‘waters. One Base. at Puerto Rico ig

ish Main are based at Puerto Rico where Admiral Wilkam H. Leahy, retired chief of Naval operations, has just taken over as Governor. Puerto Rican development is to be undertaken to make that territory a formidable outpost. in®Canal defenses of which the Naval patrol Is a vital part. Some Naval officers long have believed that in the modern era of undeclared wars an enemy might be expected to strike at the Canal first and announce its hostility afterward. Among questions raised are: 1. Could Nazi commercial shipping now interned in Pan-American ports resume business behind the protection of the safety line? 2. Could a belligerent war vessel

ning across the line and return later to unrestricted waters to prey on enemy shipping? And over all was the question who would enforce the Pan-Amer-ican neutrality zone and how? The areg involved is tremendous. The State Department is avoiding all ' interpretation of the Panama declaration., The unofficial version of events here is that the safety belt idea was originated by South American delegates to the Panama Conference although it was presented by Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, head of the United States delegation.

British and Nazi Ships Playing Hide-and-Seek.

PANAMA CITY, Oct. 5 (U. P.)— British and German warships and British merchantmen engaged in a grim game of hide and seek along the South American coasts today inside the new security. zone in which the American republics propose to outlaw foreign battles. The German pocket battleship Admiral Scheer was reported at large somewhere on the Atlantic coast seeking British merchantmen.

F vench Army s Cautious Advance in Saar

The French tanks finally emerged victorious on the eastern side of the forest. The Germans hurriedly evacuated several villages in the triangle formed by Perl, the forest and the Moselle.
