It is an axiom that Senate debate changes no votes, but if this debate has not changed votes it cer-

‘|tainly has raised questions in some

Senatorial minds. For some are visibly worried as the decision comes nearer. General debate on the bill has consumed more than the Administration had estirnated, pecause some supporters of the bill who had been expected to: remain silent have been constrained to explain why they fa-

ver it.

The Administration is still in a reasonably safe position as of today.

s Decision N

One poll prepared by the opposition shows 52 votes for the bill, with 32 against and 11 uncertain. (With one vacancy, there are 95 Senators. If every m=mber voted, 48 would be a majority.) : Some of those who are for the bill, however, are advocating amendments, including fundamental ones thus far opposed by Administration leaders. Failure to restrict the Presidential powers carried in the measure might shake loose some of

those now counted among its ad-f

herents, especially if an increased public dissatisfaction with the bill is manifested. Of proposed amendments designed to prevent the use of U. S. naval convoys or the sending of troops outside the Western Hemisphere, three out of the four already submitted are by supporters -of the bill—Senators Allen Ellender (D.

ears On Just How

La.), Francis Maloney (D. Conn.) and Joseph OC. O'Mahoney - (D. Wyo.). This type of amendment reflects the fear that the President might use his powers in a way that would provoke war, and it is expected that the controversy over such proposals will be long drawn-out. The objectives of other amendments offered are to prohibit entirely, or “specifically limit, the transfer of naval tonnage to Great Britain; to require further ratification by Congress of additional transfer of United States war materials beyond those approved by this bill; to name the countries to which aid could be supplied; to reenact provisions of the Neutrality Act barring American ships and citizens from combat zones and belligerent countries, and to include American agricultural products

uhles exchanges permitted by the bill. The strength of the movement in the Senate to prohibit convoys and the sending of American troops abroad is indicated, not only by the support of Senator George W. Norris (Ind. Neb.), for an anti-troop amendment, but by an amendment from Senator O’Mahoney, usualy a strong Administration supporter, designed to cover both eventualities.

Mr. O'Mahoney’s amendment, upon which he is soliciting Administration support, reads: “Without the consent of Congress, no defense article of which the President shall make disposition under Section 3 of this act shall hereafter be delivered by the land or naval forces of the United States, and no part of such forces shall be used in connection with any delivery of such defense ar-

Aid Brita ticles, to any foreign government unless such delivery takes place within the Western Hemisphere or at a place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” “The people of this country,” the Senator said, “desire to give every possible material aid to the democratic nations now resisting aggression. This desire is not dictated by fear or by any doubt of our own ability to defend ourselves but by a feeling that we should contribute out of the abundance of our physical resources to the defense of democracy wherever it is attacked. “The people of America, however, are not ready to intervene with manpower. There is no need for such intervention, and the supporters of the bill, of whom I am one, have repeatedly asserted that no part of its purpose is to involve American manpower in actual fighting.”

BILL FOR U. S. MINE INSPECTION HELD UP

Times Special . WASHINGTON, March 5.—A bill to provide Federal inspection of coal mines, like its predecessor of last year, is having “committee trouble” in the House. Last year’s bill was tied up in the House Mines and Mining Com= mittee, although 204 House mems. bers signed a petition to bring it out for a vote. This year’s version was voted out favorably by the Mines and Mining Committee, 16 to 2, but some of the leaders of last year’s opposi=:

tion are trying to prevent issuance of a rule by the House Rules Com=mittee to assure a House vote. The Rules Committee will hold an open hearing tomorrow morning, :
