Restricted Neutrality Bill Approved, Keeping j Embargo For 14 Months j American Republics Ex empted from Application When Attacked by Non-Americans TWO MAJOR PLANKS OF ACT LEFT OUT One Permitting President To Impose Peacetime Quotas on War Materials and One Requiring Ship ments at Owners Risk Are Both Deleted in Draft Washington, Feb. 12. —(AP) I '.Senate Foreign Relations Committee I today approved unanimously an j abridged neutrality bill extending the j present arms embargo features until j May 1. 1937, but exempting American ; republics from Its application when , attacked by non-American nations. The compromise, which brought several divergent factions into line, completely omitted two major pro visions of-the administration act. One would have permitted the President to impose peace-time quotas on “ma terials of war,” such as oil, cotton and steel, and one would have permitted, th'- chief executive to require that trade proceed with belligerents at the shipper’s risk. Attached to the bill, as agreed up on i’y tin* committee, however, was an authorization for the President to embargo credits to belligerents. A move to force consideration of permanent legislation at this session apparently awaited the bill on the Sen ate floor.

NORMAN THOMAS IS SEEN AS A FACTOR Socialist Leader Might Swing Enough Votes To Carry Election By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer New Rork, Feb. 12.—Both Republi cans and Democrats have been paying considerable attention to recent speeches of Norman Thomas, erudite Socialist leader. There is a reason— perhaps two reasons. Reason Number One concerns poli tical wooing. If, as (believed, the So cialists “control” 4,560,000 votes at pre sent, that may be the balance of pow er In slates which count in a close elction. The (Socialist vote in the states of New York, Ohio and Illinois, if divert ed either to the Republican or the Democratic candidate might give the candidate the entire electoral vote for those states —and that would mean election.

Revenue from the gasoline tax was off about $300,000 in December and estimates are that it will be at least $600,000 below normal for January, al though the total collections for Janu ary will not be available until Feb ruary 20.

LINCOLN’S BIRTHDAY IS OCCASION FOR SPEECHES Washington, Feb. 12 (AP)— Lincoln’s birthday brought much political can nonading, as President Roosevelt and the great emancipator were compared by the New Deal’s friends and con trasted by its foes. By Secretary Ickes Mr. Roosevelt was described as “the man who brave ly tilts his lance against special pri vilege and entrenched greed.” To Senator Hastins, Republican, Delaware, the President appeared as “the profligate son,” “who rushes on in his wild career.” The skirmishes within the Republi can party were livened with the news from Illinois that Senator Borah would compete in the- primary there with Colonel Frank Knox, Chicago publisher.

Referring to Secretary Wallace's de scription of the court’s processing tax refund order as “the greatest legaliz ed steal in American history,” Norris observed that might Ibe erroneous, but that it undubtedly was “the greatest gift since God made salvation free.” He said the soil conservation crop control program “yet may be declar ed unconstitutional, under existing court conditions,” but that it was “the only hope.” Referring to the court’s opinion that Congress had no power to regu late agriculture production, he said that if that decision stood, “then a large portion of the laws Congress passed in the last 100 years are ab solutely unconstitutional.” In this group of laws, the Nebras kan listed relief for drought, the job less, insect control, and even the crea tion of the bureau of reclamation, and the department of agriculture.
