and with the chairmen of the for

the clash of opinion between this
group and the administration that
promises a bitter fight.
The issue is discretionary au-

The state department is convinced
that the president needs more au-
thority; that he should be permit
ted to embargo such Essential

per, steel, scrap iron, trucks and
tractors, in addition to the present
ban on arms. .
The senators, however, contend
that the nation should keep out OF

it is to pass a mandatory law that
applies to all belligerents alike.
They also seek an embargo on
loans and credits.

the corridor until he was in front
of cell No. 9.
In reply to questioning by KIM

was anything to confess. Haupt-
mann, with only IA more days left

official that: II have told the

Rumors had spread about the
city that Hauptmann was broken
in spirit and that he did not sleep
well two nights ago. He was IN
his bed when Romaine Johnson,
convicted negro murderer, walked
by the cell on his way to the chair
and said good bye. Hauptmann
did not help and slept we'll last
night, it was said at the prison.
