WASHINGTON, April 6 (U. P. ).—Republican and
Western Demoerats, undaunted by Senate passage of the Administration’s reciprocal trade program, promised today to carry their fight to the polls in November. | The said the issue, representing a victory for President
Roosevelt and: Secretary of State Cordell Hull, would be
placed before the voters to
determine the program’s popularity. The Senate, by a 42-to-37 vote, late yesterday passed the House-ap-proved resolution extending the pror gram for three years to June 12, 1943, after beating down a series of “crippling” amendments. Voting with the .Administration on final passage were 41 Democrats and one independent. Against were 20 Republicans, 15 Democrats and two Farmer-Laborites. Senators Frederick VanNuys; and Sherman ~ Minton of Indiana’ voted with the Administration. ; “We haven't heard the last of this,” was the comment of Republican Leader Charles L. McNary of Oregon. . Senator Alva B.‘Adams (D. Golo), who voted against the program, said the Senate’s action was “a further abdication by Congress of its Constitutional powers to control taxation and regulate foreign commerce. P
| Call It Garner Defeat
Passage was hailed as a smashing
victory for Mr. Roosevelt over Vice President John N, Garner, avowed
candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination, who reportedly had urged colleagues to support an amendment to extend the program for only one year. That proposal was voted down, 46 to 34. Mr. Hull, “father” of the program, expressed profound satistaction” at the five-vote Senate victory. He said that the program, initiated in 1934, had benefited agriculture, industry and labor, and pledged that in future operations, the interests of all Sections of the country would be -“as vigorously promoted and as scrupulously safeguarded as heretofore.”
{Three Objections Listed
Mr, Hull said he had three “higher objectives” in mind: i “1. To promote the fullest practicable development. of both our domestic and foreign markets, thereby achieying increased Soddchion and employment. | “2./To help in creating & solid foundation for any stable peace structure to follow the "a t
“3./To safeguard free enterprise in this country against everexpanding regimentation which would be the inescapable result of “extreme foreign trade controls| of ‘the kind that would be rendered necessary by a reversion to the Hawley-Smoot embargo doctrine.” Meanwhile, another Congressional fight| looms. Influential Senators warned today they will fight to restore| House economy cuts in the 1941 | multi-billion-dollar national defense program, even if it necessitates increasing the $45,000, 000, - 000 national debt limit.
Members of the House deficiency |

RALLY SUPPORT
T0 VANDENBERG|
Senate G. 0. P. Leaders Disturbed Over Dewey’ $
Wisconsin Victory.
WASHINGTON, April 6 (U. P).— Senate Republican leaders rallied to the support of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R, Mich), today in an apparent attempt to check a mounting “Dewey - for - President” |- drive | among Western G OP. forces. Disturbed by Vandenberg’s | defeat at the hands of Thomas E. Dewey, New. York District Attorney, in the Wisconsin primary, influential Republicans formed quickly behind their Senate colleague in the hope of saving him from further losses in Nebraska's primary Tuesaay. Senate Minority Leader Ciiri L. McNary of Oregon broke a precedent of many years by making a pre-convention indorsement of Mr. Vandenberg as “safe” for farm interests. Senator Arthur H. Capper (R., Kas.), spokesman for the G. O P. farm groups, echoed his sentiment. Senator Gerald P. Nye (R., N. D.), left late yesterday for Nebraska to take the stump for Mr. Vandenberg in speeches at Fremont and Omaha. Several Republican spokesmen said privately that should A Mr. Dewey win in Nebraska his campaign for first place on the G. O. P. ticket would be almost impossible Yo halt.
LET PEOPLE DECIDE,
WASHINGTON, April 6 (U, P)). —Chairman Martin Dies off the House un-American Investigating Committee, appealed tothe American people today to decide whether his group has the right to seize records of the Communist Party, The Communists have obtained warrants from Federal Judge George A. Welsh of Philadelphia for the arrest of two Committee investigators who, they charge, violated civil liberties in | seizing the Party's records in a raid ‘on Hel hiladelphia headquarters. Mr. Dies predicted that] Congress at this session would require the Communist sParty tto disclose i records in case the party succeeds in its court fight to block the investigation. Mr. Dies was called before a Grand Jury here yesterday to testify against two Communists whom the Committee has| cited for contempt for refusing to answer questions. “I think that the entire question as to whether or not agents of foreign dictators who claim Constitutional rights and shrink Constitutional duties can legally conceal from the Congress and the American people their true names and unAmerican activities, must be immediately decided by the people of this country,” Mr. Dies said.
PHILADELPHIA, April 6 (U. P.). —Federal warrants were to be served today on two Dies Committee agents, who, with a Philadelphia police lieutenant, led a raid on Communist Party headquarters and offices of the International Workers’ Order here earlier this week:

WASHINGTON, April 6 (U. P.).—The United States paraded its reviving military might today in observance of the 23d: anniversary of its entrance into the World War. But the celebration was tempered by general expressions of determination to stay out of the European war. The nation-wide Army Day
| demonstration drew the censure
of Senator George W. Norris (Ind. Neb.), the only remaining member of the Senate who voted against American. participation in the World War. “If this is a celebration of our going into the war,” he said, “we ought to see that instéad of the soldiers marching with cannon and guns they ought to march clothed in crepe.” Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.) issued a warning to “all diplomats” that the new American slogan is “millions for defense but not a dollar or a boy on foreign soil.”

collector, Eddie Way, making an itemized statement and turning over the account to Staebler, who" in turn made an accounting to Wilcox and McGrath.

It was understood that Britain had taken the stand, first, that any attempt by Norway and Sweden to reach an understanding with Germany against future Russian aggression would be viewed as an unfriendly act toward Britdin; secondly, that any Russian move to extort or conquer new Atlantic ports from Scandinavia would be considered a threat to Britain. Russia’s veto was believed to have doomed a plan for a Finnish-Swedish-Norwegian alliance. However, Russia’s acquisition of a naval base at Hanko. in Finland, and plans for the extension of Russian free transit across Finland to Norway and Sweden, led some observers to foresee a possible move by p= and Sweden to seek re-

Officials Put Credence in Girl's Story of Four Deaths|’
LOS ANGELES, April's (U. P.).— Police were inclined to believe today, after hearing the same story for two days, that Chloe Davis, 11, was guilty only of the death of her mother and putting her brother “out of his misery,” and guilty then only because she had followed her mother’s command. Blond-haired, blue-eyed : Chloe, a husky, precocious child, had told officers repeatedly that Mrs. Lolita Davis, 36, had slain Daphne, 10, and Ann, 7, and grievously wounded Mark, 3, with a claw hammer. At her mother’s orders, Chloe said, she had given her a razor blade to slash her wrists and had beaten her on the head with the
same hammer. Chloe admitted that
she had “quieted” her brother Mark at her mother's suggestion with several blows. “We are forced to the conclusion that Chloe is telling the tru
IDeputy Chief of Police Homer
Cross said. “She still insists that after her mother had attacked the other children, that she, at her mother’s request, beat on Mrs. Davis’ head with 8 hammer until it (the hammer) broke. While she has added to her story somewhat, she hasnt changed it in one re= spect.” County Autopsy Surgeon Frank R. Webb reported that the blows from which the children had died would indicate they were struck hy a hand stronger than loe’s. He said that Mrs. Davis died of loss of blood from slashed wrists and that the blows Chlce had rained on her head were a “contributing factor.” ‘ However, oe was sent back to Juvenile Hall and officials expected to question her later today. She still was booked ‘on ' suspicion of ‘having committed four murders.

Overrules Defense Motion
Judge Staff allowed the defense and’ the prosecution one and onehalf hours each to deliver arguments. Chief Deputy Prosecutor James A. Watson began the State’s closing arguments late yesterday. He told the jury “Anderson filed these false clatins ‘and well knew it.” “Anderson was given special service,” Mr. Watson said. “His grocery orders were taken to him. by an employee of the trustee’s office while other merchants were forced to call for their orders. “Anderson received special favors and even liberties from the township trustee—do you jurors intend. to use a rubber stamp?” Earlier, at the conclusion of the defendant’s case, Judge Staff overruled a second defense motion seeking a directed verdict of acquittal. Ray Is Witness
The last persons called for the defense were three character witnesses who: testified that the defendant had a “good reputation in his neighborhood for veracity, honesty and fair dealing.” One of the witnesses was Otto Ray, former Marion County sheriff, who said he now operated a tailor shop and a farm. Maximum penalty for conviction on the false claim charge is two to 14 years, while maximum punishment on conviction of aobtaining money under false pretenses is one to seven years. Both sentences dre in addition to fines.

The watchers have a visibility of a 15-mile ‘radius, department officials said, and ' the towers are located so the visibility areas overlap. The pilots’ reports will get “all the fires, and get them sooner,” officials said.
