Hull Seeks Neutrality
Action in House 10 .
Offset Hostile Senate
Approval Of Bill
Is Desired to Bolster
Presidents Position

BY the Associated Press.
Threatened Senate opposition has
caused administration leaders, it was
authoritatively reported today, to
seek House approval of bill sub
stituting presidential control over
wartime shipping for the automatic
arms embargo of the Neutrality Act
Secretary of State Hull was said
in informed Capitol circles to have
given his approval on the theory
that even If the Senate declined to
act later, half a legislative loaf
would be better than none.
The bill, drawn by State Depart
ment experts, would repeal the Sec
ton of the present law which pro-
hibits sale of munitions to bellig-
erents when the act is invoked
Combat Zones Provided.
1t would let the President fix war
time combat zones into which Amer.
lean shipping could go only at it's
own risk. 1t would retain sections of
the present act prohibiting finan-
cial dealings with warning nations
and controlling the manufacture of
munitions in this country.
The measure, similar to one offered
by Senator Gillette, Democrat, OF
Iowa, thus would attain what has
been described as the State De-
partment's chief objective in revising
the Neutrality Act-the repeal of
the arms embargo provision.
The decision to seek initial action
Evening star., 1939-05-26

in the House was said to have been
influenced by the relatively stronger
administration control there than in
the Senate. House procedure also
provides for strict limitation of de-
bate.
If the House approves revision
In the law, State Department officials
were said to believe the Presidents
position in international affairs
would be strengthened, even if the
Senate did not take up the measure.
Administration supporters were
said to have argued that should war
break out abroad during congress
sional recess, they might be able to
push the legislation to final passage
next session without being criticized
as taking an unneutral action, began
after war began.
Division of Opinion.
There was a division of opinion
among Senators interested in neu-
trality legislation as to whether
House action would provoke sub
sequent Senate consideration.
1T would depend on what kind
of bill they sent over here" said
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, who has opposed repeal of
the arms embargo. He said he
could see little prospect of Senate
action this session.
On the other hand, some other
Senators said House approval of
any neutrality measure would serve
as public notice that the admins
tration was behind it and thus
would increase the chances of a
Senate vote.

and French observation planes
buzzed across the river to see what
was going on in Baden.
Footbridge Blown Up.
Another day the French, after
giving German sentries a polite
warning, blew up footbridge over
the Kembs Dam above Basel. That
very night the Germans had rein
forcements in the forts across the
river from Kembs.
So far nothing has happened. The
Germans have not used the pom
toons, and the French haven't
crossed the river. -
Reports reaching Basel indicate
most of the fooling is being done
for the benefit of observation planes.
There has been little bombing
from the air, but much observing.
From the air, a long line of trucks
still is long line of trucks whether
they are empty or full. so the allied
forces have been sending many
columns of trucks dashing about
flor the benefit of German observa-
ton planes.
The Germans have plenty Of SOL
diers with time on their hands, and
they are kept busy laying out mock
air fields, complete with dummy
planes, for the benefit of wandering
allied observers.

close enough to a belligerent coun-

servers to come and see what they
can see. the business of fooling the
other fellow goes on.
German flat cars, loaded with
pontoons such as an army would
have to use to get any considerable
number of men across the Rhine,
rolled ostentatiously and slowly
along railroad in full view of the
Swiss frontier in October.
Up to that moment, the Rhine
River frontier had been so quiet
Swiss bargemen were considering
seriously asking both Paris and Ber-
lin for permission to resume their
business between the Maginot and
Siegfried forts.
