p BRITISH AID BILL

3000 Young: People Swarm On Capital; 600 Can’t ‘Find Lodgings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (U. P.).— The vanguard of 3000 young people gathexad here today for the seventh annual meeting of the American youth Congress. Their leaders planned vigorous condemnation of

President ‘Roosevelt's British-aid|-

bill. The first meeting tonight will be devoted, to. discussion of the hill now pending in Congress. There were sharp contrasts between today’s gathering and that of a year ago when Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt acted as the Congress’ hostess. Today the official “welcome mat” of previous years during the New Deal was noticeably missing.

Arnica for. Perfume

Missing, too, were the delegates]

of the National Student Federation, which had been the Congress’ largest affiliate. Representing 100 college student councils, the federation withdrew from the Congress on Dec. 30 because of its alleged adherence to the Communist Party “line.” This year’s three-day “Town Meeting of Youth” will be held amidst the odor of arnica and resin in Turner’s Arena where prize fights and wrestling matches are held. Last year the Congress met in the gaudy, but modern and comfortable, Inter-Departmental Auditorium. No Government official would sponsor a request for its use this year. Delegates spent weary hours looking for a place to sleep, even in attics. Executive Secretary Joseph Cadden said he was unable to find lodgings for 600. Last year Mrs. Roosevelt entertained the leaders at ,the White House and paid for gasoliné used by Army trucks to take delegates to the Ft. Myer Riding Hall to sleep.

First Lady Absent

The Congress also found difficulty in getting Government officials to speak at its meetings. Mrs. Roosevelt, the principal speaker last year, refused to have any part in the 1941 meeting because she said she did not agree with its opposition to the conscription and aid-to-Britain bills. ‘Neither will the delegates be invited to the White House lawn where, last year, they were admonished by President Roosevelt for some of their policies. Some of the delegates booed the President a year ago. ‘Members of the Senate and House Foreign Affairs Committees which handled the British-aid bill were invited to attend the Congress when debate opens tonight,

- Speakers Listed

Speakers announced for the lend-lease discussion include “the Rev. Owen A. Knox, chairman of the National Federation for Constitutional Liberties; John P. Davis, executive secretary of the National Negro Congress; Herbert Witt, executive secretary of the American Student Union, and Michael J. ill, president of the Transport orkers Union. { Early arrivals. at the Congress were requested by officials to “visit your congressmen and tell them what’s on your mind.” Sunday eve1ing Rep. Vito Marcantonio (A.-L. N. Y.) will tell the delegates what's

an his mind.

Enlivens High Court Session

WASHINGTON, Feb'7 (U. P.).— The Supreme Court ygsterday evidenced unusual interest in the subject of rattlesnakes when the attorney for a Los Angeles man convicted of slaying his wife told how two live reptiles were displayed before the jury at his client’s trial. Attorney Morris Lavine contended that display of the snakes prejudiced the jury against the convicted man, Raymond Lisenba; known as Robert 8S. James, Los Angeles barber. : Lisenba, who was sentenced to death, was alleged to have killed his wife after failing once to kill her by putting her left foot in & box. containing live rattlesnakes.

Black asked the purpose of the trial demonstration. Mr. Lavine replied that he supposed it was intended to show that a person could be bitten ‘by rattlesnakes and thav snake experis were brought in to testify on that subject: de “Perhaps the district attorney wanted to show that snakes bite,” Mr. Justice Flarlan F.
