ENGLISH GENERAL WILL ORGANIZE DEFENSE FORC ES

WASHINGTON, July 17.—(UP)— Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley indicated today, after a White House conference with President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull, that he might try to keep Congress in session until action on neutrality legislation has been obtained. The conference— Mr. Roosevelt’s regular weekly discussion of the legislative situation—was one of the most protracted of recent weeks. After the discussion. Barkley said: “I do not think that Congress would deliberately adjourn in the face of any duty it might be called upon to perform.’’ Those participating in the discussion were Barkley, Hull, Vice President John N. Gamer. Speaker William B. Bankhead and House Democratic Leader Sam Rayburn. The conference lasted nearly an hour and a half.

The town grew so quickly it did not find time to build a jail. Lawbreakers were tethered to a tree in the business destrict, a chain and padlock binding their hands. Reports of the tree jail reached Mrs. Mable Bassett, Oklahoma'r commissioner of charities and cor-

WASHINGTON, July 17.—(UP)— Congressional leaders are expected to deliver a pessimistic report to

today concernhis neutrality

adjournment goal. If the President agrees with his leaders today that neutrality is a dead issue until next year, Congress would nave little more to do to complete its work. Senate and House leaders said efforts would be made to act on the President’s $J.460.000 000 lending program, parts of which have provoked vigorous opposition, hut many beheve that it would be held over until the next session. Several appropriation bills remain to be approved. Social Security Act amendments, now in conference between the two houses, also must be enacted. Railroad relief legfislation. approved by the Senate and scheduled for House consideration on Friday, may not get further than a conference committee. Efforts to revise the Wagner Labor Relations Act have been postponed until 1940. but the House is expected Thursday to approve a resolution for an investigation of the Labor Relations Board. The House also will consider this week the Senate-passed Hatch bill to bar political activity by federal administrative officials. Most observers agreed, however, that the key to adjournment was in the President’s decision on the neutrality fight.
