companions:
Lets go. Guess we're in the
wrong place."
The bandits carried a large
quantity of adhesive tape and
rope, Police Capt. Andrew Barry,
in charge Of the investigation, re-
vealed today. He said their actions
in the apartment gave little
credence to the theory the Incl
dent was simply robbery.
Captain Barry pointed out that
although large amount of valu-
able jewelry and silverware could
easily have been taken, the mask
ed men took only $45 in currency
found on top of chiffonier. The
leader carefully searched the
apartment for additional occu-
pants, Captain Barry said.

ACTION PUSHED
ON NEUTRALITY
MEASURE

The Roosevelt administrations
neutrality bill will .oe reported by
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee Substantially as proposed
after a bitter fight. a poll OF the
committee indicated today.
While amendment viii. be made
to the bill drafted by the State
Department and Chairman Nc
Reynolds CD of Tennessee, Of the
Foreign Affairs Commute, the ad-
miniStration was slated to win its
battle on the cardinal points.
The poll indicated that the COM
mittee will reject all proposals to
make mandatory embar. oes to
warning nations on wheat, cotton
and similar products as materials
of war"
Instead, it was ready to approve
substantially the controversial
fourth section of the neutrality
bill which gives the President
power to place restrictions upon
AAoOC1 4d4S uScN Ill wal III dOA4C4OAA
to arms and ammunition.
Two Proposals in Doubt
Two proposed changes remained
in doubt. They were a Republi-
can demand that Italy and Ethio-
pia be exempt from the neutrality
bill and other proposals designed
to permit aid to Latin-American
and South American countries en-
gagged in war with a foe on an
other continent.
Republic rs hackers of an
amendment. proposed by Repre-
sentative Tinkham (R) of MasSa-
chuSettS, to exempt the present
foreign situation from the bill,
ex- It'd defeat. There was ad-
mittedly. however, some Demo
cratic support for the proposal.
Representative Kloeb CD OF
Ohio, was pushing an amendment
which would permit citizens of the
United States to give financial aid
to any country on the Western
Hemisphere engaged in war with
a European or Asiatic foe.
Some Democratic members Of
the committee, the poll showed,
were reluctant to give the PreSi'
dent discretionary authority to ex-
pand an arms and ammunition
embargo. The majority was ready
to back Secretary of State Hull in
this demand. it was indicated.
Virtually the entire bill had
been approved. with the excep-
ton of the highly controversial
directionary section, and amend
ments to be proposed.
Plan Early Passage
Chairman McReynolds hoped
to drive the bill through the
committee by tomorrow and per
haps bring the bill to passage
in the House this week.
Meantime, some sentiment de-
veloped for a years extension OF
the present neutrality bill, the
chief provisions of which expire
on April /. Representative Healey
CD of Massachusetts,, introduced
a bill to this effect.
The neutrality battle in the
Senate Foreign Affairs Commit
tee moved more slowly.
After a long discussion of gen
eral policy. the committee was
slated to begin discussion of spe-
cific provisions of the measure
tomorrow. The Administration
bill faces sharp opposition both
because of it's discretionary pro-
visions and because, it is charged,
it would change the traditional
freedom of the seas" policy of
the country,

 He explained that the measure would "bring the law into accord ance with the actual facts of the situation"

 ley, the kings representative, whose office the new acts abolisheS, signed the. amendment. It was his last official act. Part of his functions will be absorbed by De Valera and the remainder by the speaker of the dail.
 De Valera revealed that he already had informed the British govern ment that the bill would be intro duced and that 1t would remove the kings functions in the Free tSates domestic affairs.
 William T. Cosgrave, leader of the opposition in the dail, vigorously denounced the government for rush. ing the legislation to passage. He termed it 8 slap in the face" for Great Britain "at a time when It needed sympathy"

CContinued from Page D and photographers.
 Mrs. Wallis Warfleld Simpson, soon to become Mrs. Edward David Windsor with the right to use her husbands title and whatever other title his brother, George VI, be- slows upon him, struggled with her emotions behind the pink walls. Over the Rogers radio last night, she heard the throbbing, breaking voice of 6 royal descendant of a long line of kings tell the entire world that he could no longer re- main a king because she could not rule at his side.
 Other Sacrifices Dwarfed
 The sacrifices of Antony for Cleo patra seemed dwarfed by compani- son, for Antony gave his power and life for ap empress. Four persons were in the Rogers living room Herman L. Rogers and his wife, Mrs. Simpsons hosts, Lord Brown low, Edwards waiting and Mrs. Simpson. From the radio came the vibrant voice of the man who but few hours before had re- linquished his rule over 500,000, 900 people.
 In ghastly silence, the voice rang through the living room: -
 But you must believe me when I tell you that I have found 1t 1m- possible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and discharge my duties as king as would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love-"
 MrmSsnos
 Mrs. Simpson had no sooner heard this public avowal of 8 kings love for her, this valedictory of man was sacrificing four kingdoms and an empire for her, when the vocie, breaking, continued: K x x the other person most nearly con- cerned has tried up to the last to persuade me to take a different course"
 Recalls Pronunciation
 Doubtless, she recalled her per- sonal renunciation of last week end that she would sacrifice her love for him for the good of his people and his throne.
 A few minutes later, the man who had been king spoke poignantly of his brothers, the new kings, happy home and wife and children. Such a blessing had been denied him, he said.
 For minutes after the royal voice exclaimed, God bless you all! God save the King" no one in the room was able to speak, and minutes la ter, a member of the party con- fessed to the United Press corres- pondent, that the emotional travail invoked by the former kings fare- well to his people had been such that none could express it.

Madcap Martha Kaye, that ultra violent Kaye of "The Big Broad cast of 1937", came to town yester- day and checked in at Warner Brothers State theater for a four day engagement as the star of Par amounts newest musical hit Hide away Girls.
 Fresh from her former triumphs the irrepressible Martha adds an- other leaf to her rapidly-accumu- lating store of laurels and takes a large pace ahead in her rapid march toward top stardom. The feminine romantic lead in Hide away Girl" s carried by beautiful Shirley Ross, another newcomer, who scared to stardom in The Big Broadcast o. 1937." Robert Cum mings, Louis Da Pron, Monroe Ows- ley and Ed Brophy round out the skiilful cast.

Love be- tween the two blooms until the tell tale jewels are found on Miss Ross and Cummings is reluctantly forced to turn her over to the police. All the real culprits are brought to book before the final fade-out, how eyer-and the whole story is set to music.

 De Valera assented, adding that the Free tate would recognize the new king ''as long as he remains the symbol of ernipre and is recognized as such."
 The dail Jeireann (parliamenU passed, l9 to 54, an amendment to the constitution recognizing the British crown only as an influence in the Free tate's foreign relations. Ireland will remain 8 member ot the British Commonwealth of Nations.
 Another bill was introduced recog- nizing Edwards abdication and the Duke of York's accession as King George VI. It will be rushed to pas- sage with debate prohibited.
 Immeriate effect of the constl- tutional action was uncertain. 1t was assumed that after the new king, George VI, completes the formalities of his accession, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin would ask Free State President Eamon De Valera for a full explanation.
 Trade War Feared
 It was feared in some quarters that to arouse the antagonism of the British cabinet might herald another disastrous trade war between 4re- land and the mother country.

 Lord Brownlow said there was no chance that Prince Edward would join Mrs. Simpson here.
