tied debate on practically all of them and Barkley finally was forced to ob- tain debate limitation to assure passage of the bill last night.
 Appropriations Made
 As approved by the Senate, the bill calls for almost $800,000, ,000 less than was spent for relief in the fis- cal year ending tomorrow. Major Senate appropriations are:
 For WPA - $1,477, 100000. Tn e House earmarked $125, 100000 of this fund for the Public Works Adminis- tration, but the Senate rejected the plan.
 For the National Youth Admins tration-$123 100000.
 For the Farm Security Adminis- tration-$163, 100000.
 For the National Emergency Council-$850,00
 For the National Resources Plan- ming Board-$750,000.
 For the public health service $6oO,0O0.
 For refinancing federal farm loans 
 For miscellaneous purposes, audit- ing, Indian relief, etc, $33,000,000.

MAY DEPORT 50
 YEAR RESIDENT
British Born Widow of American Soldier Is in
 Grave Danger

Boston, June 29-(UP)-Mrs. Har- riet A. Thompson, 76, British-born widow of an American soldier who has lived in or near Boston for over 50 years, was bewildered today by federal orders to leave the United States or be deported.
 Apparently dazed by the U. s. La- bor Department notice Mrs. Thomp- son said she knew of no reason for the action. She said, however, she believed it may have resulted from the "antagonism" of an estranged daughter whose child, now IT, Mrs. Thompson has reared under 8 cus- tody arrangement with the society for the prevention of cruelty to children.
 Mrs. Thompson said a weekly $5 check was the only support for her. self and her granddaughter, Bernice E. Gray. Her counsel said state house files contained records of Mrs. Thompson's "flawless service" at Wayland town infirmary where she was matron IA years.
 A native of Kent, England, Mrs. Thompson came to this country when A years old. She married George E. Bezanson, an Everett grocer. They had two sons and daughter.
 In 1892 she wed John Parker Thompson, with whom she lived in Winchester until his death Feb. g, 1888. She said Thompson was an army man wounded in service. She had been seeking pension as his widow, but the process has been de- layed because she lost his discharge certificate, she said.

the prevailing wage for the same type of employment in private in- dustry in various sectoins of the country and that in no case shall it be less than that established under the fair labor standards act. Spon- sored by Sen. Pat McCarran, D. Nev. the amendment was adopted by a standing vote.
 It also provides that differentials in the monthly earnings allowed shall be based only on the type of work done without regard to popula- tion. Rural wages would be as high as those paid in the nearest city in the same state.
 Other Major Changes
 Other major changes in relief ad- ministrtaion made by the Senate in the House approved bill would:
 Eliminate the three-man WPA board with which the House would replace the present administrator.
 Remove the complicated House formula for distribution of WPA cash in proportion to population and jobs in the states.
 Require the states to put up 25 per cent of the aggregate costs of WPA projects. The vote on this amend ment was 51 to 24.
 Apply the cost-of- living yardstick to geographical wage differentials for WPA workers doing identical work in various sections of the coun- try.
 Allow three-fourths of one per cent of the WPA appropriation to be spent for theater projects. The House banned them.
 Require persons on relief rolls con- tinuously for IS months to step aside for those who have been on certified rolls for three months. The House would require those on relief IS months to take 60-day vacation.
 Permit use of FSA funds. for con- struction of additional camps for migratory workers.
 Require publication each of month of salaries in excess or $1,000 paid by WPA.
 Change for $40,000 to $75,000 the limitation in costs of non-federal buildings which WPA may aid in construction.
 Victory for Regime
 The rejection by the Senate of the House plan to earmark funds for PWA was victory for the admiuis- tration. President Roosevelt had con- tended that it would deprive many persons of WPA jobs. Administration leaders argued that the new pro- posed lendnig program would pre- clude the necessity of providing $125,- 100000 for public works.
 Barkley, faced with the necessity of getting the bill to the president before tomorrow midnight, could have arranged for temporary exten- sion of the relief program by resolu- tion, but sought to avoid that by keeping the Senate in session most of he night until the bill was passed.

Nazi Striking Powers Are Greater Than Ever
tcontinued from Page D

As to the present Nazi striking power, it is wildly impressed on any visitor to Germany and two different foreign experts who have been in the Reich throughout Hitler's regime believe that as many as 1,800, ,000 men are actually under arms today.
 That figure represents half mill lion more than at any previous time and even on the basis of the most conservative estimates it is generally admitted that the German striking power has been sharply boosted since the Czechoslovakian crisis and that it is set for lightning action when and if Hitler gives the order. East Prussia, for instance has been turned into a huge military fortress with well over 100000 men poised for ac- tion. This admitted even by Nazis who deny that German soldiers have filtered into Danzig in preparation for sudden coup.
 One Important Point
 In seeking to coordinate and draw together the threads of European events since Hitler destroyed Czecho- solvakia, one important point must be kept in mind:
 The Nazis never have and never intend to give up their desire for return of the entire Polish Corridor and other former German areas of Poland to the Reich.
 The Poles fully realize the ulti- mate implications of the German at- titude and it is for that reason that such a comparatively minor issue as Danzig now creates danger of ma jor war. It would be a mistake to assume that because Danzig is a dominantly German city that the quarrel over its status can be easily solved.
 What has happened is this:-The Nazis set out to use against Poland the same formula they used suc- cessfully against Czechoslovakia with the object of advancing step by step as far and as rapidly as develop ments permitted. It was possible from the beginning that Hitler might recover Danzig by some sort of set- clement but that was not the Nazi purpose. They sought, because there was a considerable degree of justice in teir claim to the free city, to use it as the opening wedge in broader campaign against Poland.
 Will Force Showdown
 There appears now to be no ques- tiop but that Hitler will force show down on Danzig only if it does not prejudice his long-range objectives against Poland.
 Today's widespread indications of imminent Nazi action in Danzig serve to emphasize the underlying Nazi idea of putting Poland under tremendous psychological and econ- omic pressure to yield or even to compromise-and then to compro- mise again.
 In this connection the Nazis con- fidently believe that in a showdown the British, despite their pledges to Poland, can be counted on to bring further pressure on Warsaw to make @ deal on Danzig that would avoid war. They are far from convinced that Britain will conclude an effec- tive alliance with Soviet Russia or that, if such alliance were completed, either tho British, French or Rus- sions would rush immediately to the aid Of the Poles.
 ImpossIbIe to Aid Poland Perhaps it h more accurate to cay
