Neutrality Acts Use
In Sino-Japanese WaI
Is Opposed by Hull
Pittmun Believes This
Attitude Applies Also
To Russiun Invasion
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary Hull has expressed State
Department disapproval of a resolu-
ton to invoke the Neutrality Act in
the undeclared Sino-Japanese war
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee dis
closed this today, saying further
that the committee probably would
consider Mr.. Hull's opinion as re-
fiecting the State Departments
views not only on the Far Eastern
conflict but also on the undeclared
war between Finland and Russia.
Although Senator Pittman de-
clined to make the letter public
he said It was apparent that Mr.
Hull felt that the peace and Sc
curity of the United States were
not directly involved in either OF
the undeclared conflicts and for
that reason did not favor invoca-
ton of the Neutrality Act, which
would greatly restrict American
dealings with the belligerents.
The Hull letter will be considered
when a subcommittee takes up q
resolution by Senator Gillette, DEM
ocrat, of Iowa to set in motion con-
gressional machinery to place the
Neutrality Act in operation in the
Far Eastern war Chairman George
said the subcommittee might meet
tomorrow.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated PreSS.
Greater maneuvering ability was
credited today for the success Of
American-made Curtiss planes in
use by the French Army, despite
the superior speed of German Mes
serschmidts.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee made public testimony of
Rear Admiral John H. Towers,
naval aeronautics chief, that dur
ing the present war under some
circumstances, the plane with the
lower speed, with greater maneuver-
ing ability, has real advantage over
the faster plane"
Admiral Towers said that was the
answer to what the Curtiss plane
was doing to the Messerschmidt.
when the Messerschmidt comes
on him." he said, "he can turn
quicker than the Messerschmidt,
which will consequently charge past.
with the greater maneuverability
of the Curtis plane he may get
under the tail Of the Messerschmidt
and It is very difficult to shake
him off,"

Bondy Asks Immediate Funds
For Home at Blue Plains
Describes Institution
As Secondhand
At House Probe
BY JAMES E. CHINN.


Describing the Home for the Aged
and 1nfirm as a second hand in
stitution," Robert E. Bondy, direc-
tor of public welfare, today told a
congressional investigating commit
tee funds should be made available
Immediately for a thorough reno
vation as well as additional facil-
ties.
Ultimately however, Mr.. Bondy
said, the present home at Blue
Plains should be replaced with
buildings of the so-called cottage
type" which would permit segrega-
ton of various types of inmates.
Taking the witness stand as Mr..
Bondy completed his testimony,
Frederick w. McReynolds, chairman
of the Board of Public Welfare, de-
clared the basic fault" underlying
existing conditions at the home as
well as at other public welfare
institutions is "the lack of money"
but he added:
The taxpayers are paying all they
can. The additional funds have
got to come through an increase
in the Federal Governments pay
ment toward expenses Of the Dis
trict."
Mr.. McReynolds, who has been
chairman OF the Welfare Board
since 1884, said he agreed 100 per
cent with everything Mr. Bondy had
previously told the committee, but
that he had one complaint, and that
concerned the ALLEGATION of District

Swedish Purchase
OF 144U. ). Planes
Is Disclosed
Pursuit Ships, They Are
Close to Top-Ronkine
Types Made in America
Bv FRED H. MORHART. ]

The largest order for war planes
and equipment by non-belliger-
ent nation since the war started
has been signed by a Swedish pur-
chasing mission. it was learned here
today.
The order includes IA airplanes
and spare engines. Aside from pur-
chases by Great Britain and France,
it is the largest given an American
plant by a foreign nation.
The planes are to be supplied by
the vultee Aircraft Corp, Downey,
Calf, and will be powered by Pratt
& whitney engines. sf The total
amount OF the contract was not
revealed, but 1t is understood to be
close to $10,Q00,00 1t also was
learned the manufacturing COM
pany already has obtained its en-
gines. which are expected to be
delivered in staggered orders as
fast as the planes can be built.
Pursuit planes, they are among the
fastest ships of their type available
in this country for export. The pur-
chase also is among the first to be
made since this Government began
its survey of surplus" material
which can be made available to
foreign nations.
Last week President Roosevelt said
there were certain articles available
for export in the category of military
supplies. He specifically mentioned
shoes and old guns.
The order, which has no official
status here, is understood to have
been reviewed by high administrative
officials before being closed.
The planes are for direct delivery
and are close to the top-ranking
types in manufacture in the United
States, it was understood. Although
no details of the order had been
made public, rumors of the Swedish
deal had been heard for several
weeks.
Swedish missions have been in
and out of this country a number of
times since the Russian invasion
of Finland, making survey of pos
sible sources of war materials to
meet their own needs.
1t also is understood that the
order calls for so per cent spare
order of engines, or u more than
the number of planes.

Ruling Backs Plan 10 Tax
U. 5. Employees Incomes
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 13.-The
Senate Finance Committee has a
ruling from Attorney General A. P.
Staples that House bill 96, which
would authorize Virginia to tax the
income Of Federal ofhceholders and
employees, is constitutional.
Furthermore, Mr.. Staples said, the
provision of the bill making the
State income tax applicable to the
tax year 1889 appears valid.
"It is clear that this retroactive
effect does not render the statute
unconstitutional" he said in an
opinion given Chairman Aubrey
Weaver of the Finance Committee.
This amendment Of the tax code
would affect. hundreds of Federal
employees who work In Washington
and live in Virginia. The attorney
general also noted that it would ap-
ply to Federal judges and officers of
courts "and persons in the armed
forces" residing within Virginia.

Carmody Proposes
u. ). Take Over Work
OF Recreation Unit
Buildings Commissioner
Would Direct Operation
Of Cufeterius

An agreement by which the COM
missioner of public buildings would
take over direction of the Welfare
and Recreation Association and
continue operation of Government
cafeterias. but turn other activities
over to the National Park Service,
has been submitted to the trustees
Of the association by John M. Car
mody, Federal Works administrator,
and will be voted on at a meeting
tomorrow afternoon, it became
known today.
The proposal follows the recent
report by Acting Controller Gen.
eral Elliott, who said that the con-
tract with the Government under
which the association-a corpora
tion-had been functioning since
1927, had no statutory authority
and was illegel.
The agreement would change the
structure Of the association, which
Is now under the direction of 4
board OF trustees who are under
omcials of the Government, and
provide for the election of members
by the heads Of departments and
independent agencies; these in turn
would name officers.
Under the plan. the corporation
also would be relieved of the obliga-
ton of paying to the Government
approximately $l87 900 which Mr..
Elliott said was due under the 1927
agreement which provided for an
equal division of the net receipts be-
tween the Government and the cor
poration.
A new arrangement also is pro-
vided for the corporation to con-
tinue the aid to private welfare
organizations composed of Govern
ment employees which Mr.. Elliott
said was improper under the old
agreement. The plan now contem-
plated says that the corporation
may lawfully and substantially aid
accredited welfare associations by
acting as collector of a small and
uniform donation for that purpose
ny SuAOtSAAd HoOA C.6., Vic dugO.
matte donation of cent per tray
of Is cents or more, unless objected
to by the patron. Such donations
it is estimated, would aggregate
larger sum than now is expended
by the. corporation for such pur-
poses"
The facilities which the corpora
ton would turn over to the Ma
tional Park Service include the
tourist camp, souvenir stands at
Lincoln Memorial and Washington
Monument, Pierce Mill Tea House,
tennis courts and bicycle stands.
The Secretary of the Interior would
pass on any arrangement that is
made for turning over these opera
tions.
The corporation, it also is pro-
posed, would cut off cafeterias in

Senate Approval
OF Finnish Loan
Expected Today
George Questions
Wisdom Of Move as
DshDte keurs End
Bx ]. A. OLEARY.

Favorable action by the Senate
late today on the bill to enable
Finland to obtain $40, ,oo0. 900 of ad-
ditional credit for military
supplies was predicted by leaders,
as the debate drew to a close.
The wisdom of making Govern
ment loan to the Firms, even though
the Neutrality Act has not been
invoked, was questioned by Senator
George, Democrat, of Georgia, at
the outset of today's session.
The Georgian admitted there is
not declared state of war between
Russia and Finland, but insisted
actual warfare is in progress, and
inquired:
DO We preserve our neutrality for
the purpose of preventing our in
volvement in the war when, simply
because there is no technical dec
laration of war, we undertake to do
things that could not be done If the
Neutrality Act had been involved?''
No Nation Mentioned.
While the bill merely adds $780,
0O0, 900 to the lending facilities of
the Export Import Bank without
mentioning any country, Senator
George said it is difficult to discuss
the measure without thinking of a
loan to Finland.
The purpose of the measure is to
vest discretion in the directors of
the bank to determine whether ad-
ditional credits, not exceeding 500
600 900, should be advanced either
to Finland or China, for the export
of non-military supplies from this
country.
With several amendments pending
the first vote is expected to come
on motion by Senator Danaher,
Republican, of Connecticut, to pro-
hibit loans to any foreign govern
ment, move which administration
leaders believe will be beaten.
Relending Plan Withheld.
Later q motion will be made to
cut the general authorization to
$50. 900. This probably will mus
ter greater support, but, If adopted,
would prevent the proposed credit
to Finland. .....
Senator Brown, Democrat, of
Michigan, announced he would not
offer an amendment he had drafted
to enable the r. F. c. to re-lend
to Finland the approximately S.
100000 it has repaid the United
States on its old war debt, in addi-
ton to the Export-Import Bank
credit. Such q loan would have
been available to Finland for any
purpose.
The Michigan Senator said he is
withholding the amendment, be-
cause he does not want to do any
thing that might infringe on Amer
ica's neutrality.
