present neutrality law. House
action tell far short of that de-
sired, and Senate ,Das eDen more
defiant; and congressional lead
ers and the President agreed at
White House conference this
week that issue 1rould be dropped
TOR this session but be taken up

BY the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, July 2l.-
President Roosevelt contended at a
press conference today that deci-
sion to defer action on neutrality
legislation until the next congress
SiOnal session would hurt business.
The Chief Executive indicated
that the neutrality controversy was
closed until Congress reassembles
next January, so far as he was con-
cerned. Then he went on to dis
cuss it at length with newsmen clus-
tered around his desk in the study
of his home here
A prominent businessman. Mr.
Roosevelt said. told him recently
that failure of Congress to act on
neutrality was killing the incest
little business boom you ever saw.
Declared Cause sof Timidity.
Businessmen, the President as
serted. do not want to make COM
mitments because they do not know
what form neutrality legislation
may take when Congress convenes
next year. They do not want to
place orders or take them. he said
For instance. he said, a newspaper
owner, not knowing how war might
affect his business. would hesitate
to place an order for new press. At
the same time. the President said it
would take more than mere crisis
to impel him to call Congress into
a special session to come to grips
with the neutrality problem.
For several years. he added. there
have been recurring threats which
did not eventuate in war abroad. and
there might be another which might
not lead to actual conflict.
Delay Held a Gamble.
But the United States is not in a
position to help in situation of
that kind. he said. under the present
neutrality law with its arms en-
barge provision. Members of the
Senate who conferred with him and
Secretary Hull Tuesday night were
fully apprised Of that fact, he said.
1t was at that conference that a
decision was reached to abandon ef-
forts to obtain immediate passage Of
a neutrality bill without an arms
embargo section.
Members of the Senate who
wanted to postpone action, Mr..
Roosevelt declared, have been gam
bling with the possibility that war
will not eventuate.
He was told that Senate iSola-
tionists were predicting he would
carry the neutrality. issue to the
country on prospective trip to
the West Coast.
Mr.. Roosevelt wanted to know
what neutrality issue existed. A re-
porter remarked that the arms en-
barge was the issue, and the Pres
ident then asked whether it was
not closed till next January by
action of the Senate.
There is and can be no imme
diate issue before the country, he
amplified, because certain groups in
the Senate precluded any action un-
til January. He said it should be
made perfectly clear, of course. that

was found guilty by a District Court
jury yesterday afternoon on "a
charge of receiving stolen prop
erty and who collapsed in the court
room upon hearing the verdict. The
jury found him guilty only on that
part of the indictment that related
to the receiving of property al

last April.
A directed verdict of acquittal was
given by Justice Jesse c. Adkins in
favor of Percival j. Abelman. en-
ploye of the General Accounting
Office. who had been indicted with
Mr.. Steinberg. Attorney James R.
Kirkland, on behalf of Mr.. Abelman,
a few days ago made plea that the
Government had failed to connect
his client properly with the charge
of receiving stolen property. Justice
Adkins agreed with this view, after
taking the motion under advisement,
so ruled yesterday Both United
States Senators and the Representa-
tive from Delaware, Mr.. Abelman's
home State, testified as character
witnesses for him.
Prosecuting the case were As
sistant United States Attorneys John

Today on Number Of
Vice Presidents
Special Session Slated
On Whether to Trim
Figure to One
BY the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, April 1.-The c. I
Q. United Automobile Workers we're
scheduled today to dispose of an issue
that has touched off sharp factional
clashes on the convention floor
whether to trim the number of union
vice presidents from five to one.
That the Constitutional Commit
tees report would precipitate heated
debate was indicated by the conven-
tons decision to conduct a special
session tonight.
The committee originally was
scheduled to report yesterday
Charges were made on the conven-
lion floor that committeeman delayed
the report to enable those favoring
reduction in the number of vice pres
idencles to solicit support through
caucuseS.
Vice President Richard T. Frank
ensteen said caucuses which Gesig-
nate every one who stays away as a
Communist are detrimental to the
union and will make every one think
Homer Martin was right" Mr.. Mar
tin, u A. w. president until it split
into two factions, now heads an un-
affiliated union. He was expelled by
the G. I. 0. wing.
Il charge that a group in this
convention is carrying on disreputlve
tactics and giving comfort to Homer
Martin" shouted Mr.. Frankensteen.
Sidney Hillman, C. I. o. director,
conferred with so-called middle of
the road delegates. He was re-
ported to have said that John L.
Lewis favored reelection of Presi-
dent Roland j. Thomas and Secre-
tary- Treasurer George F. Adde's.
A resolution approved unani-
mously calls for the union to notify
automobile producers that U. A. w.
members will not handle tools and
machinery that does not bear ap-
proved union labels.
The convention also adopted a
resolution favoring organization of
w. P. A. workers into an industrial
union affiliated with the c. I. o.
