By House Is Seen
Late This Week

IS Votes Will Be Cost

BY the Associated Press.

Democratic concessions modifying
the administrators bill to revise the
Neutrality Act and repeal the arms

shadow its passage by the House
late this week.
Acting Chairman Bloom of the
Foreign Affairs Committee pre-
dicted that ION the basis of yester-

be more than Is votes against the

The principal concessions offered
by the Democrats would eliminate

designate combat areas closed to
American ships, and would limit
presidential discretion to extend
short-term credits to belligerents.
Representative Bloom regarded as

Representative Fish of New York,

mittee, was the most caustic in his
denunciation of the legislation. He
called it "a warmaking bill' and as
serted it was aimed at forcing this
country into an alliance with Great
Britain.
Representative Allen, Democrat, Of

Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit radio
priest: Fritz Kuhn, German -Ameri-

Tinkham, Republican, Of Massa-

Although Representative Tinkham
did not participate in the debate,
he told reporters he would try
later to substitute for the bill the
present law-providing an embargo
on arms shipments to warning ma

The giving of Relief in the form OF
money is no longer considered in, an
experimental stage The ten states
now granting relief on cash basis
are Idaho, Kansas, Montana, New
Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Washington, West
Virginia, and Wyoming. Baltimore,
Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Los Ange-
les, New York, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, and San Francisco have had
successful experiences with Direct Re-
lief in Cash, under Emergency Aid
; Programs, plus satisfactory admins
tration of cash under Social Security
Aids.
Before the depression most of the
families now on relief had the ability
to manage successfully On very small
incomes. They should now be able to
manage just as we'll on cash received
as direct relief. 1929 statistics showed
that $1,000 per year, per worker was
! greater than the yearly income re-
ceived by nineteen million American
workers.
Clients would be more satisfied even
when cash would mean a slight reduc-
lion in their basic budgets.
Current rent payments would be
made on time.
After the introduction of Cash Re-
lief only a very small percentage have
ever had to be returned to a grocery
order basis.
The introduction of Permissive Cash
Relief would mean less politics in re-
lief, and a more common sense, eco
nomical relief administration.
