WASHINGTON, Oct. s = Legislative leaders today are are reported to have agreed neutrality legislation to be in- trcduced in the House of Rep resentatives tomorrow, follow ing a message from President Roosevelt confined to permit ting American merchant ships tc carry arms.
 Those who at tende d the White House conference today said it was agreed that such legislation could be sent through the House before the end of the week.

WASHINGTON -'One of the Presidents major foreign policy contentious is that the refusal of Congress in the summer of 1889 to approve his recommendation that the Neutrality Act be modified was a leading factor in precipitating the European war. Had the law been amended to permit the de- livery of arms, he holds, Hitler would have thought twice before pulling the trigger.
 This theses has been hotly con- troverted by isolationists, wh o blocked the plan to revise neu- trality. The late Senator William E. Borah attacked it, and said a few weeks before the invasion of Poland that he had highly author itative assurances there would be no war
 But in Manchester, N. H., today, a leading Republican Senator, who has been bitter New Deal foe, will publicly back up Roosevelt's contention. Senator Styles Bridges will declare that there might not have been a war" had Congress followed Roosevelt's counsel.
 Senator Bridges will say that Hitler began hostilities because he felt secure in the belief that the United States would not interfere" ," and that the factor that gave him this assurance was the Neutrality Act which put the Y. s. "in straightjacket as far as information al relations are concerned and pre- vented important help to besieged, oppressed and attacked nations"
 Senator Bridges will also assert flatly that if Congress had not finally, on Roosevelt's insistence. re- pealed the arms embargo, Britain today would be defeated and the United States at war.

State Draft Director
Warns Registrars To
Protect Civilian Jobs

Help protect your civilian jobs
by keeping your employers in
formed of your Selective Service
status" 1t. Col. Henry C. STAN
wood, State director of Selective
Service, today advised all regis
trants and inductees.
Complete cooperation between
employees and employers at all
times is imperative to insure
civilian job protection for regis
trants," Colonel Stanwood said.
each registrant should advise
his employer promptly as to how
he has been classified for Selec-
tive Service, when he expects to
be called for training, and then
as to his plans after he has COM
pleted service.
The Selective Training and
Service Act, he added, gives civil
ian job protection to every man
indicted into military service,
under its authority whether he be
a selectee or a volunteer. 1t
provides that each shall receive
a certificate of merit if he COM
pletes military training to the
satisfaction of his superior off
GERS. Then, if he makes appli-
cation within 40 days after he has
completed one year of training
and still qualified to perform the
duties of his civilian job, the law
says he shall be restored ito such
position, or to a position Of like
seniority, status, and pay unless
the employers circumstances have
SO changed as to make it unrea-
sonable or impossible to do So"
Protecting seniority in civilian
jobs, the Act also provides that
men indicted for Selective Serv-
ice training shall be considered
by their employers as having been
on leave or furlough. 1t further
stipulates that selectees restored
to civilian jobs shall not lose them
without cause for at least one
year.
"In view of the requirements
the law imposes upon employers
for the protection of Selective
Service registrants," Colonel STAN
wood said, at would seem only
fair that registrants should CO.
operate by keeping their en-
ployers advised at all times as to
their status"

sized, as planning must be made
during the next few weeks to in
