WASHINGTON, Jan. IT. - Con- gressional leaders express doubt whether financial aid will be voted to Finland.
 Many members of both the upper and lower Houses of Congress voice fears that aid might involve the United States ultimately in the European quarrels.
 President Roosevelt, yesterday, ex- pressed the opposite view in letters to the Senate and House declaring that financial assistance in the pur- chase of military supplies would not threaten involvement in the for eign troubles.

NEW YORK, Jan. IT. - Herbert Hoover, in charge of the Finnish Relief Fund, delared that President Roosevelt's recommendations to Con- gress that credit be extended to Finland should be supported and at the same time the former Presi- dent proposed that surplus food raised in this country be sent to such countries as Finland and Po- land" without requiring any mone- tary obligation.
 Hoover declared the question of food should be separated from that of manufactured goods and raw materials. He estimates the food requirements for Finland and the territory formerly known as Poland should not exceed $20, 900 GOO be- tween now and the next harvest.

Relaxation Of
Neutrality Act
Is Suggested

Washington, April Z7.-(AP)-
Relaxation Of the neutrality act
was proposed today among admins
tration leaders, but in some quarters
the opinion was advanced that the
time was not yet right for such &C
ton.
Senator Adams, Democrat, Colo
RADIO, told reporters that he favored
wipiug out the restrictions which
forbid Americans to extend credit
to belligerent governments and pro-
hibit American shipping from en-
tering the combat zones of warning
nations.
The need for action now, how
ever, failed to impress several OF
Adams colleagues. Although they
agreed that the revision question
would be raised eventually if the
European war became protracted,
they said they saw no reason for
changes at the present time. Some
expressed fear that modification
might tend to involve the United
States in the conflict.
THE American shipper" Adams
contended, should be permitted to
exercise his rights under interna-
tional law so long as it is made
clear that the risks he takes are his
own, If the war keeps spreading
there will be no American ships in
the transatlantic service"
AN American should have the
right to invest his money anywhere
he wants" Adams continued. "If
some airplane manufactures wants
TO sell on credit to Germany, Great
Britain, or France, then he should
be able to do 1t.

The bond OF Temperance OF the

Government alcohol monopoly in

"MDnOpoiZation by the federal

Two Banks May Pay
Final Dividends
Before Christmas
Plans Rushed to End
Reeeiverships of
D. {. Institutions

Final dividends before Christmas
from two closed banks in Washing
ton appeared likely today as Re-
ceiyer Frederick J. Young pushed
plans to wind up the receiverships
of the Bank of BrightWood and the
International Exchange Bank.
Chief Justice Wheat in District
Court Thursday signed final order
approving sale of all remaining as
sets of the Bank of BrightWood to
Meyer Steinberg of Baltimore for
S3,250. He was high bidder in an
auction sale conducted recently by
Receiver Young
in the case of the International
Exchange Bank an order on the
proposed sale Of remaining assets to
M j. Kramer of New York, who
offered $500 for the assets at a
recent auction, is returnable in court
September 25. Any further bids must
be in the hands of the receiver by
noon, September "a.
When final disposition is made of
these remaining assets Of both
banks, Mr.. Young will prepare final
dividends to depositors. Both insti-
tutions closed in July, 1882. Hoping
10 have the checks ready before
Christmas, he will notify depoSitorS
by post card. He requested deposi-
tors not to inquire in advance be-
cause such inquiries would merely
delay the disbursement. Amounts
of the two dividends have not yet
been determined.
Meantime, another step in liqui-
dation of the United States Savings
Bank was taken yesterday when
Mr.. Young changed the date for
sale of most Of the remaining assets
of this bank from October l to Oc-
tober 8, at 1890 am. at the bank,
5000 Fourteenth street at U street
NV. Lists OF these assets were be-
ing mailed out today to prospective
