Washington, March 11.-Legislation authorizing the sale of all enemy property in this country, requested by the alien property custodian to perma- nently uproot German commercial in fiuence, was approved today by the senate and added to the urgent def- ciency appropriation bill. An amend ment empowering the president to ac- quire title to the German steamship companies docks and wharves at Ho- boken, N. J.. also was accepted.
 The vote on the provision for sale of enemy property was unanimous 64 Ito 0, and came after several hourt scathing denunciation of German kul- tur and intrigues for world dominion.

 Prompt approval of both provision |, by the house is expected as soon a the senate finally disposes of the s2
