His Stenotype - Wmters Aid Bill Foes Alter Measure To Check FDR ) Provision Gives Congress Check-Rein Over President ' By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 House Re publican foes of the pending British aid bill, catching Administration leaders off guard, today tentatively succeeded in writing into the meas ure a provision giving Congress a strong check-rein on any powers dele gated to the President. ; The GOP coup came after the House scuttled a series of Republican amend ments notably one designed to clamp a $2,000,000,000 ceiling on the British- aid program and another to limit the life of the bill to one year. Representative Everett M. Dirksen, Republican. Illinois, engineered the astute parliamentary maneuver which caught the Democrat leadership nap- nine. He introduced an amendment permitting Congress by concurren resolution to withdraw at any time the Dowers which the bill would confer upon President Roosevelt. The Dirksen proposal was offered as an amendment to one sponsored by the Democratic membership of the House Foreign Affairs committee to limit the life of the bill to June 30, 1943. - Under complicated parliamentary procedure, this meant that if the two- year provision was approved the Dirk sen proposal would have to be, includ ed automatically. . , The Democratic leadership, appar ently taken by surprise, permitted a vote on the Dirksen amendment with scarcely any opposing debate. The proposal carried by the narrow mar gin of 148 to 141.
