Committee To Con-

Washington, July 10-(AP)-As a
compromise in the closely drawn
Senate battle over neutrality legisla-
ton, suggestion was put forward
in some quarters today to make the
controversial subject the first order
of business whenever Congress re-
convenes.
This would assure President Roose

argued, should international devel-
opments cause him to call special
session before January

Treasury Again
Slashes Price On
Foreign Silver

Washington, July 10-(AP)-The
Treasury cut its foreign silver prices
again today to set a price of 35c an
ounce.
This figure was sufficiently above
the London silver market price of
$33.84c to enable shipping of the
metal across the Atlantic for the first
time in about two weeks. The 35c re-
presented a reduction of 1.75c from
the last quoted price Friday.
With the London market priced at
33.84c and since it costs only about
IL of l per cent per ounce to ship
silver across the ocean, it became
possible to buy silver in London and
ship it here for selling to the United
States Treasury.
Officials would not say what the
disparity in the new Treasury and
London prices meant, but some OBJ
servers commented that the differ
ence might mean that the treasury
would intervene to stabilize the
worlds silver market

Portsmouth, N. H., July 10.-(AP)
"A surge of air bubbles breaking the
surface of the Atlantic has been set
as a signal of success this week by a
weary crew of navy men fifteen
miles off this port-a signal that the
sunken submarine Squalus finally

navy spokesmen said today.
Navy spokesmen said today the

ing out air bubbles as they rose, and
that in a matter of minutes three of

Only two pontoons remained to be

Protest By

Three Polish Soldiers
Alleged To H a v e
Crossed Into City and
Threatened Customs
Officials

Danzig, July 1O.-(AP)-Free city
authorities drafted protest to Po-
land today against an alleged "viola-
ton of the frontier by three Polish
soldiers. Police charged that shortly
before dawn two Polish privatcs and
a on-commissioned officer crossed
the frontier bridge over the Vistula
river and menaced Danzig customs
officials with rifle.
The customs officials, they said,
held their ground and the Poles were
persuaded to return to Poland. A
Danzig Nazi newspaper described the
incident as ''Polish provocation."
1t came in the wake of defiant
Nazi demand for removal of a Po-
lish military depot on the strategic
Westerplatte, at the mouth Of the
Vistula
"Away with this Polish ammuni-
ton dump at our front door, was,

around State Capitol circles some

Josephus Daniels, now ambassador
to Mexico, would like very much to
get back in the berth which he held
during the Wilson administration.
The ambassadors are is regarded as
almost, but not quite, insuperable
obstacle to his appointment.
The original story has it that the
President would like very much to

that he did not want to offend his

the other hand, the President knows
from his experience with Mr.. Dam
iels during the World War just what
the Daniels idea for development OF
a big navy is. Their ideas run along
the same lines
There is no doubt about the desire
of Mr. Daniels to return to the Unit
ed States. There is evidence that
he would like to get back in time
to take a part in the pre-convention
presidential campaign next summer.
But there hasn't been found man
on capitol hill who would hazard
the opinion that the ambassador is
going to resign his Mexican post un-
less he can get good job "back

Washington, July 1O.-(AP) -
Representative SABBATH 3D., In) in

Elimination of the prevailing wage

on a widespread strike of skilled
WPA workers
The American Federation OF Lab
or protested that elimination OF the
provision would tend to lower wages
generally since its effect would be to
make WPA employees work at much
lower rates of pay.
William Green, president OF the

L. would use all of its economic
strength to compel the Congress to
restore the old wage rates on WPA
projects.

stand by her pledge to Poland in the
case of Danzig, and it was under
stood to have had the advance ap-
proval of both Poland and France.
: Chamberlain's cautious phrase
ology had double purpose-to avoid
language which Germany might use
to advantage in furthering her claims
of encirclement, and to leave open
the door to possible negotiations of
a settlement of the Danzig question
by Germany and Poland.
The statement was intended to
supplement the recent speech of For

serted in strong terms that Britain
was determined to resist aggression,
but omitted specific reference to
