SENATE TO VOTE
 ON CAPITALIZATION
Roosevelt Will Know at 6 p. m. Whether Mone-
 tary Plan Dies or Not
BY RONALD c. VAN TINE United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Washington, July 5-(UP) - The senate decides today whether to re- store President Roosevelt's power to further devalue the dollar.
 The deflnitive showdown in the struggle between the chief executive and the senate comes at p. m. (6 p. m. EDT) when the senate votes on conference report which would restore the sections of the monetary bill the senate originally killed.
 The report, in addition to reestab- fishing the dollar devaluation authority, also would continue the $2 900 100000 currency stabiliza- ton fund and set @ compromised price for domestically mined silver.
 Republicans and conservative Democrats filibustered Friday night to prevent vote then on the con- ference report. The dollar devalua- ton authority and the stabilization fund as contained in old law there- fore died at midnight with the ex- piration of last fiscal year.
 MT. Roosevelt returns from holi- day weekend at Hyde Park this morning and was expected to meet his congressional leaders before the senate begins debate.
 Roosevelt Regains Lead
 The administration was believed to hold slight advantage. Sen. Key Pittman, D., New, and some other silver senators were expected to vote for the conference report. A coalition of silver senators, anti administration Democrats and Re- publicans voted down the dollar de- valuation authority last week. If the report is voted down the silver senators stand to lose because the domestic silver price will fail along with the stabilization fund and the dollar authority.
 If the vote accepts the report, the treasury will bury domestic silver at I'll cents an ounce for two years and purchases of foreign silver will be continued at the world market price.
 If the senate refuses to accept the report, the dollar devaluation authority ends, the stabilization fund reverts to the treasury's gen- eral fund, the artificially-supported domestic silver drops to the world market level, and purchases of for eign silver cease. New legislation would be required to restore any Of them.
 Doubt of Legality
 There still was doubt of the legal ity of the senate's power to revive the monetary power and the stab ilization fund without new legisla- ton.
 Attorney General Frank Murphy contended that adoption of the con- ference report would revive those powers Sen. Ava B. Adams, D., Colo, a leader of the opposing coalition agreed.
 The treasury was expected to set a silver price today pending senate action.
 Before the monetary powers ex- pired, the treasury had been buying domestic silver ct 6464 cents an ounce and foreign silver at the world market price-43 cents. Since then foreign silver has slipped to 38 cents and the purchase of domes- tic metal was suspended automatic ally by the long holiday weekend.

NEUTRALITY BILL
 IS ANOTHER SCRAP
Roosevelt Is Making Bit. ter Fight to Get Measure
 He Wants Enacted
BY ALLEN c. DIBBLE United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, July 5-(UP)-The Senate foreign relations committee begins consideration of the admin istration's drastically amended neu- trality bill today. President Roose- welt wants the Senate to remove the arms embargo the House put into 1t. The committees meeting was pri- vate. Its members were known to be sharply divided on the question of just what would preserve this country,s neutrality in a European war. It has been unable to report a neutrality bill all session because of these divergent opinions.
 But President Roosevelt appeared determined to get a neutrality bill and the kind of bill he wants. The administration bill which would have permitted nations at where to obtain American arms and imple- ments of war If they were able to pay cash and carry them away, ran into difficulties in the House which Friday amended into 1t an embargo on arms and munitions as contained Tn present law.
 What Roosevelt Wants
 MT. Roosevelt returned to the ca- pital today, and his statements at 8 press conference in Hyde Park yes- terday indicated his determination. He said Germany and Italy viewed the Houses action as a setback for the democracies. He said he want ed the Senate to vote the embargo out of the bill and that he wanted action at this session of Congress.
 But there was considerable doubt whether Congress could be kept here long enough to agree on Q neu- trality bill. Its members are eager to adjourn.
 Two members of the Senate coir1- mittee-Walter F. George, D., Ga, and Guy M. Gillette, D., Ia.-were said to hold the votes which either would bury the measure in commit- tee or sent 1t to the floor with q favorable report.
 George said he had not pledged his vote. Gillette was said to be undecided,
 Against House Embargo
 
 MT, Roosevelt at his press confer- ence spoke out against the Houses arms embargo and said he wanted the Senate committee to write a measure more likely, in his opinion, to have restrainin effect upon na- tons considerin war.
 He also hinted that an attempt would be made in the Senate by his leaders to compose leislation apply ing more pressure in behalf of peace in saying that objectives often could be attained by stressing cer- tain phraseology. He emphasized the necessity of bill that would be 0 war preventative.

 this unity in e traditionally disunit- ed nation may be temporary, but at the moment 1t seems a significant factor.
 When I was in Prague before last September's Nazi triumph, there al- ways was a note of hysteria in the Czechoslovak protestationS that they never would suffer the fate of Aus tria. But could find noSuch strain of uncertainty at the present mos ment in the challenge of Warsaw, Lodz, Cracow and other populations for the Nazis to "come and get it!"
 On the contrary, the international situation seems on the surface at least to have ended for the time be- ing the Ukrainian separatist agita- ton and brought Poles rallying to 0 defiant Nationalism.
 Battle of Berlin
 A taxi-driver told me about prep arations for "the battle of Berlin" A train acquaintance repeated one of the many jokes now in circula- ton ct the expense of Germany. This one was that Adolf Hitler is sleeping badly these nights "because the Polish army insists upon march, ing up and down the corridor (pom- orze) outside"
 Your newspaper may repeat the jokes. Or you may be handed a piece of paper showing four little black and white pigs standing nose to nose with the question "Where is the fifth pig?" When the paper is folded 6 certain way 1t shows a picture of Hitler.
 There also has been 6 run of "um- brella jokes," as 6 result of the fa- inous umbrella British Prime Min- ister Neville Chamberlain carried to Munich when Germany took the Su- detenland from Czechoslovakia.
 Umbrella Was Missed
 Tn fact, the valet of one foreign diplomat recently begged his em- ployer not to carry an umbrella in Warsaw although they were attend- ing an open air top-hatted cere- mony at the airport with thunder heads on the horizon. The diplo- mat compiled with the request and was drenched by rain.
 "Statesmen," he remarked later, "often make sacrifices on the altar of principle"
 Tn official circles, the general at- titude is more serious but no less defiant.
 We can hold out" leading Pol ish diplomat told me. We have known centuries of battle. We can light If necessary.
 German Domination Feared
 "Danzig is not to us a question of 60 many thousand Germans or some many square miles. It is @ question of German guns dominating Gdynia. of a German extra territorial high way across our corridor to the sea like moose around the nations windpipe.
 we are willing to negotiate all fair demands. But we realize-and recent experience certainly bears us out--that one concession to German threats opens up vista of intending concessions to come. We do not in- tend to become subject people.
 England and France are now tied to Poland. It is merely a question of whether Poland has gained the strength she needs to be a pillar to which England and France will tie in Eastern Europe.

OUR NEW ARMY

Announcement by the War Department that the American infantry division is to be streamned into a smaller and more mobile form comes additional and welcome assurance that Washington has not ignored the lessons of recent maneuvers. Three inn portant changes in our military organization each in it's own way of a revolutionary nature, have fol- lowed the outbreak of the in Europe
 The first involved an increase in our armed forces to be effected rapidly possible by additional re- cruiting. The Regular Army is to reach a strength of 227OOO; the National Guard is to be increased to 2350OO
 The second change was long in the making for the first tests of the so-caed "streamlned" infantry division were carried out more than two years ago But now at length the War Department has nounced that the Regular Armys infantry divisions are to be reorganized In place of the old cumber some 1000 man division of World War days. faster moving combat unita brigadeless division consisting of three infantry and field artillery regiments of about 110OO officers and men-will be substituted, effective within few weeks
 The reduction in numbers of each divisional unit, plus the increase in the size of the army makes pos sible the third important step: the creation of two new Regular Army infantry divisions which, with the three already existing and be reorganzed will pro- vide the continental United States with a corps or provision corps of five divisions otaling 5OOOO men
 Thus the first important steps in what has obvi- ously been needed for long time the creation of mobile force prepared, if necessary, for active duty in the field have been accomplished There still re- mains another move which should be taken. These five new divisions need thorough training only as regiments but as divisions, and even as corps Without this final step the other steps useless for training continuous and intensive is the keystone of efficient military structure
