"Clean Politics" Bill Is Assured Of Passage
Senate Due to Concur With House on Measure That DrastcaIIy Curbs Great National Political Machines
 Comprising Federal Employees in Patronage Group
BY JOHN R. BEAL Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

(Un1tcd FreSS StaH OOrreSpOnucntJ
 Washington, July 2l--(UP)--The Senate received the hatch "clean politics" bill for concurrence in minor House changes today. Then it goes to President Roosevelt for his signature or veto.
 Mir. Roosevelt's position on the bill is not known. It is designed to sepa- rate politics from relief and pro- hibits all federal government em- ployes except the president, the vice president, cabinet officers, and other policy making officials from all political activity, including par ticipation in presidential nominating conventions. It could cripple a na- tional political machine.
 The bill was passed by the House late last night after its opponents had used every parliamentary ma- neuver they could think of to defeat 1t. The vote was PAP to 133. It had been sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Carl M. Hatch, D., N. M., and in the House by Rep. John J. Dempsey, D., N. M., but the House majority lead- ership and the national Democratic organization headed by Postmaster General James A. Farley opposed it vigorously.
 The bill was passed by the Senate in much the same form that the House approved it last night. The House judiciary committee had sent 1t to the floor yesterday in what Hatch described as 'an emasculated form" Republicans and a bloc of Democrats led by Dempsey fought for the original version and won. As many times before during this session, the administration was ham dicapped by the failure of its mem- bers to remain in the chamber to

Danzig Problem Not to Be Solved By War,
 Claim Nazis BRITISH LEADERS
 PLAN FOR PEACE Dove of Peace Also Seen Towering Over Italy in
 MussOlini's Talk
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor)

United Press Foreign News Editor)
 Peace plans were heard in Europe today. Conciliatory words came from high sources in both London and Berlin as, only a day after a Polish customs guard was slain on the Danzig frontier, Nazi spokesmen declared that Germany expects a peaceful solution of the free city problem without resort to force and probably within a few months.
 we reject warlike solution of the Danzig problem 100 per cent" the spokesman said, in echoiag Pol- ish indications that the Danzig shooting was e closed matter.
 "Positive' Peace Plan
 Reliable sources in London dis closed that a small group of influ- ential British leaders were advanc- ing a new positive" peace plan even more important than what Berlin describes as "the Hitler Plan" for solving the Danzig issue.
 This positive" plan was describ- ed in British sources as having nothing to do with appeasement programs of the past and, in fact, was designed for open discussion only after all dangerSof a new totali- tarian war threat this summer has been eliminated--if possible--by the rearmament of the British-led SC. curity front.
 Britain and Trance would go firmly ahead with their present pro- gram of protection through power- full arms in an effort to preserve peace and prevent aggression dur ing the so-called crisis months of August and September. Then, if they are successful, they would sound out Germany on plan to aid the Reich in transforming in- dustry from war basis to a peace basis by aiding in raising big loan to Adolf Hitler in returned for re- duction of Nazi arm.aments.
 Hudson Interested
 The fact that R. s. Hudson, secre' tary for overseas trade, was report. ed to be interested in the plan ap. peared to eliminate the possibility of sudden resurgence of "appease- ment psychology" because of the flrmness he has shown in the past toward the Nazis.
 How far such plant would prog ress by the end of the summer, de-

Lack of Senate Action on Neutrality Measure
 to Blame
ADVERSE ECONOMIC
 EFFECT UNTIL JAN.
President Bases COncIu- sion on Recent Discuss
 sion With Businessmen
BY T. F. REYNOLDS United Press Staff COrrespondent)

Hyde Park, N. Y, July 21. - (UP) - President Roose- welt said today that refusal of the Senate to act at this session on neutrality has killed off a nice little busi- ness boom and will have an adverse economic effect until next January. MT. Roosevelt, speaking at a press confer ence, again emphasized that full responsibility for refusal to reverse the neutrality law must be accepted by the Senate. The Senate, he said, is gambling against the possibility of war this year, and the result of its refusal to act will have an ad- verse economic effect.
 The President described con- versation he had with a prominent business man this week. The busi- rlessman, he said, discussed the ef- feet the Senate postponement may have on business, and they conclud- ed that the postponement probably cut short boom.
 Hesitate On Commitments
 With the international situation and its effects on this country highly uncertain, the President said, businessmen will hesitate to make commitments because they can have no idea of that form a neutrality bill will take If Congress acts on the issue when 1t meets again next Jai1- uary.
 Accepting the fact that the Sem ate will not act, MT. Roosevelt said, all he can do now is pray that there will not be another serious crisis in Europe before Congress meets again He said, however, that a crisis alone would not force him to convene Con- gress for special session, pointing out that other crises have come and gone without developing actual war.
 But, he said, from every capital in Europe without exception, this government has received evidence of preparations being made for an eventuality that those capitals be- lieve to be fairly close. The prepara- tions he said, appear to be moving at fast rate. The president gave

"A. A. u. Delays Pon-Amer;con
Action Waiting on Finland;
Dartmouth Marks Okoy

By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Fla, Dec. 9.-It's
quite likely there'll be no Olympic
games in 1910. But if the Amateur
Athletic Union has its way,> there
will be competition next year for
United States teams, with a Pam
American athletic carnival as the
A. A. US major objective.
In order to spare the feelings OF
an already hard-pressed country,
the A. A. US 51st annual conven-
ton voted today to take no definite
action on such a program until Fin
land takes equally definite action
on relinquishing the 1910 Olympics.
But at the same time the dele
gates accepted the recommendation
of special committee that the A..
A. U. be prepared to put on a set
of substitute games in the event of
the expected cancellation of the
Olympics.
1.-THE advantages that would ac-
crue to athletics in general, to the
athletic youth of America and to
America itself are SO important" !"
said Judge jeremiah T. Mahoney
of New York, committee chairman,
that it was decided that, in spite
of the difficulties suggested (for
staging the games, more aggres-
sive methods should be used for the
completion of a program for Pan
American games in 1940."
The difficulties are several. AS
outlined by Gustavus T. Kirby Of
New York, absentee committee
member, the major ones are:
/. The short time that would be
left for preparation after Finland
does make its decision. 2. The fact
that the North and South Ameri-
can seasons are reversed, making
it difficult to find dates suitable for
both sections. 3. The fact that few
if any of the other pan-American
nations have sports programs suf-
ficiently well established to enable
them to compete on equal terms
with the United States.
Philadelphia, in any case, is ready
to step in and put on the games,
whether they be in 1910 or started
in 1941, in which they would be the
first of a series to be conducted at
4-year intervals. The city offered
to contribute 100000, and thus
apparently got the inside track over
New York, its Mayor La Guardia
and its world fair, and Los Angeles.
