Revised Lending Bill
May Reach Senate
Floor Next Week
Republicans Almost
SoIidIy Against Plan,
Mckory Says

~ the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's $4,000. .000. 900
lending program may reach the
Senate floor next week somewhat
changed from its present form.
With Republicans generally and
some Democrats in both House and
Senate promising opposition, even
though the plan is revised, Senator
Adams, Democrat, of Colorado, q
member of the Banking Committee
considering the measure, said today:
Some changes are inevitable.
There are some things all concede
ought to be rewritten"
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
minority leader, said the % Repub-
lican Senators would be almost
solidly against the program. which
administration officials contend
would be self -liquidating and would
stimulate business and employment.
Want Powers Reduced.
Most of the 169 Republicans of the
House also will be against it, Rep
resentative Martin of Massachus-
etts, the House minority leader,
said, although no survey had been
made.
Representative Wolcott, Repub-
lican, of Michigan and Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, Banking Com
mittee members, argued the bill
delegated too much discretionary
power to the executive branch. They
will thy to trim it in this respect.
Democratic leaders conceded there
would be considerable debate, but
forecast approval before Congress
adjourns.
Specifically, witnesses to date have
opposed the provision for toll road
loans. They argued such highways
would not bring the returns hoped
for, and suggested among other
things that the Government buy
strips of land along the rights-of-
way and sell or lease it to business
people.
Opposition also has been expressed
to proposals to increase the lending
power of the Export-1mport Bank
by $1O0000,000 to finance American
foreign trade, and to create a cor
poration under the R. F. c. to buy
and lease railroad equipment.
FavOrs Reclamation Loans.
One witness, Senator Clark, Demo-
crat, of Idaho proposed an expan-
sion of the program to provide $83,-
00O0 900 for reclamation loans.
The House committee interrupted
its hearings yesterday to write final
changes into the Senate
bill to increase by $500 100000 the
borrowing power of the United
States Housing Authority.
There had been efforts to post
pone this measure until next ses-
sion, but the committee divided
along party lines to force action.
1t made two important changes,
earmarking $500. 900, 600 for rural
housing and requiring cities to fur
nish 10 per cent of the cost of slum
clearance projects in cash, labor,
land or material.

Divers Must Make

To Study Squa|us
Fear Held Submarine
: May Be Mired Even
Further in Mud
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July Is
With the seas gradually moderating,
crack Navy divers lined the deck
of the salvage ship Falcon today,
ready to descend to the sunken sub
marine Squalus to determine the
extent Of damage to the craft in her
second plunge to the ocean bottom
Thursday.
Meanwhile, three pontoons, dam
aged when the Squalus reared her
head and broke away during the
first lifting operation two days ago.
were hauled alongside the Falcon
and crew members hoped aboard
the bobbing cylinders and untangled
the wires and cables preparatory to
repairing the lifts.
Naval officers said repairs would
be made at the salvage scene, if pos
sible. but If the damage was found
to be too great the pontoons would
be towed to the Navy Yard.
Heavy seas have blocked q second
start on the difficult task of raising
the $4,000 900 craft, still the tomb Of
rs men, and salvage experts were
unable to draw up a new plan Of
action until divers completed their
survey. Ofdcers said at least Is
dives would have to be made for q
full study of the new situation. More
than $50 dives were made during the
nrst salvage effort, from six to nine
| q day.
AS they waited, the experts specu-
lated on what might have occurred.
One feared the submersible might
have tumbled on her side, an acci-
cent which would make the lifting
task extremely difficult. Previously
she had rested on an even keel. the
flooded stern imbedded about 20 feet
in the mud.
Others thought the rearing plunge.
which disastrously ended the first
lifting attempt just at the moment
OF success, might have rammed the
stern even farther into the blue mud
at the bottom, contingency which
also would hamper salvage.
But to all of them one disheart-
ening fact was plain-seven weeks
OF laborious and dangerous work
had been wiped out in the one mo-
ment when the gray nose of the
| Squalus knitted through the water,
pointed straight at the sky for few
brief seconds, then disappeared
again beneath the waters which
have covered her since the first fatal
plunge May q.
Only one Of the seven pontoons
used was undamaged. One was
/ badly damaged and three were, in
the language of the Navy, "unac-
counted for" They were below with
the SQualus, but whether still
hooked on, smashed beneath tho
vessel or washed away, none could
say.
The weary men of the Falcon had
their first night off last night since
they arrived at the scene; Is miles

ably many more anti-aircraft guns than there were in September. TOWN SPRAYING .
 WORKS BOTH WAYS
 Another point that is hardly ever mentioned here is that, in a war with England and France on one side and Germany and Italy on the other, the totalitarians would not have monopoly on the bombing of towns.
 The talk is always that German planes would have a much shorter hope from German airdromes to London and Manchester than Eng fish planes would have to Berlin and Munich. But that is not the whole story.
 English and French planes, hop ping off from behind Metz and Strasburg, would have an easy jump to Stuttgart, Mannheim, Coblenz, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Essen and the whole all-important industrial re- zion of the Ruhr and Rhine where SO much of Germany's war material is manufactured. If German bombers could break through English defenses, it is highly probable that English bomb CTS could break through German de- lenses.
