Says That's
Reason For
The Session
President Is c o m
mitted to Stopping
Dictators by Force;
Predicts 9th e r
Call if U-Boat Sue
cesses Continue.

Washington, Oct. 18.-(AP)-Sen-
ator Holt, Democrat, West Virginia,
charged in the Senate today that
President Roosevelt had pledged this
country to aid England and France
in IAN attempt to stop the dictatorS
by force
1.-The only reason we are in session
and there is no use trying to fool
the people-is to help England and
France to beat Germany" Holt
shouted, as he pounded his desk for
emphasis.
Holt agreed with Senator Holman,
Republican, Oregon, that, if Ger
man submarine attacks continued
their recent successes, Congress
might be called into special session
again TO revise neutrality laws to
permit direct shipments to England
and France. The Oregon senator had
interrupted to observe that Germany
had scored some remarkable sue
cesses" in the sinking Of British air
plane carrier and battleship. He
suggested that if Britain and France
failed to have naval supremacy to
obtain war supplies here, that Con-
SleSS WOllu NC dSheu W ClldllSS nou-
trality legislation again.
A group Of Democrats on the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
meanwhile, agreed in principle on a
plan to relax controversial shipping
provisions Of the administration S
neutrality bill. The proposal, offered
by Senator Connally, Democrat,
Texas, would authorize American
vessels to carry all goods except
arms to belligerent ports in South
America, the Pacific Ocean, the
China Sea, the Indian Ocean, the
Bay Of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.
Relaxation Of the shipping pro-
visions was expected to lessen OPP
position to the neutrality bill and
hasten a final vote.

Bv Texas Decision

Austin, Texas, Oct. 18-(AP)-
Extradition of Gray Gallogly to
Georgia was granted today by Gov
