Mr. Rayburn then read to the

crowded galleries the letter President
Roosevelt had sent him an hour
before the vote, predicting failure
OF the bill would cause rejoicing In

further aggression.

by shellfire and her gasoline tanks
exploded, but the gun crew kept
firing until the entire vessel was in
flames. A Spanish steamer then
picked up the survivors and both
the Spaniards and the U-boat's crew
Cheered the gunners as they went
aboard the rescue ship.
Mongolia Scored Direct Hit.
Better fortune attended the S. S.
Mongolia which was attacked in mid
April, 1917, only short time after
the arming of American merchant
men. Ships officers reported that a
shell from their guns struck the T.
boats coming tower squarely and
the sub disappeared in a cloud of
smoke. This was the first hit" on
German submarine reported by an
American ship.
In those days 1t was the practice
of U-bOats to surface and attack
merchantmen with Shellfire when
ever possible using their expensive
torpedoeS only when they had no
other choice. Almost always the
attacks occurred in the daytime, on
or near the surface. so that the
merchant ship had a chance to fight
back.
In the present war the record to
date has given evidence of different
tactics. The U-boats have attacked
at night, proving unseen on the
oceans surface with muffled engines,
and aiming not by sight so much as
by sound. Their detectors for pick
ing up the beat of ships propellers
are said to have been greatly i'm
proved in the last % years.
Risk to Subs Increased.

attack will lessen the effectiveness

Secretary Knox, they express con.

New York said the United States
already had armed some of its
merchant ships, manned them
with Navy gun crews and had
them ready for instant action.
Some ships have been operat-
ing under the Panamanian flag
with Navy gun crews aboard.
Use of the Panama flag was ex-
pected to be discontinued.
In addition to arrning ships
against submarine and plane at
tack, some of Americas fastest
cargo-passenger liners have been
equipped as armed merchant
cruisers, these sources said. All
recently constructed American
ships have been equipped with
devices for conversion into naval
craft)
Mr.. Knox said in formal state
ment that the House action in
sures in my Judgment that the war
efforts of the British Common
wealth. of China and Russia hold
out greatly increased promise Of
ultimate victory"
Also, he said. it ENSURES that
both the ships and the men will be
available to deliver defense aid ma
terials at those points and in such
volume as to aid materially in as
suring victory for those who fight
against Hitler and his attempted
domination of the world"
Although Congress has left the
frame work of the Neutrality Law
of 1885 on the statute books, the
remaining provisions are of sec
ondary importance compared with
the sections repealed. Among the
features left are these:
The Munitions Control Board to
license exports of armaments; the
ban against travel by American cit
liens on belligerent ships: a pro-
hibition against floating loans for
foreign governments here, and a
penalty for misuse of the American
flag.

utter disregard of the needs and

Mr. Willkie added in a statement
that The close vote gave false i'm

America toward the policy Of ag-
gressive aid 70 the GemoCraCies and
Of Americas intent to maintain her
right to the freedom Of the seas"
The 1910 Republican presidential
nominee said:
These failures of the admins
/ tration have led TO wide stoppages in
our industrial production, now so in
dispensable to the execution of our
foreign policy. I have been for a
+ long time fearful that such unwise
/ actions by the administration in
domestic policies would lead to cor
responding unwise action by Con-
gress as to our foreign policy.
1T is no cure, however, for such
/ domestic weaknesses that members
Of Congress should vote further to
weaken America by abandoning our
right to freedom Of the seas. an
essential element of our country's
sovereignty. Two wrongs never make
a right; two weaknesses never build
strength.
BY the same token. the admins
tratiOn should immediately correct
those errors in administration and

Armed American ships of 1941
face different type of naval war
fare from that which produced
scores of heroic and hard-fought
engagements in 1e17-18
AS many naval authorities view
the situation now, merchantmen
must be prepared to defend them
selves not only against U-boats
operating with vastly improved de-
vices for attacking but also against
swift Nazi bombers that haraSs the
sea lanes for hundreds of miles of
the British coast.
And the raiders are much more
numerous today. Prime Minister
Churchill declared earlier this week
that there never have been more
U-boats or long-range aircraft than

During the first World War cargo

most bitterly contested sea actions

or came off second best.

NEW BALDWIN ST. BRIDGE IS READY
Formal Opening TomOr- row Night; Concert and
 Dance to Mark Event

The new Baldwin street bridge, under construction for the past sev- eral months, will be formally opened at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow night, fol- lowing concert and block dance. Streets in the area which have been closed to traffic will also be opened, with the exception of lower Bridge street, where work will not be coF1- pleted until Saturday.
 T see no need for any cere- inonies," the mayor said today. "The bridge Is there and can speak for itself eloquently enough"
 Music for the concert and block dance will be furnished by a 22- piece WPA orchestra from Stam- ford, conducted by Pasquale Melfi Arrangements for the informal pro- gram are being made by the park department.
 The $65 1000 structure has been built by the D. V. F'rione Construc- tion Company of New Haven, which was awarded the contract by the Board of Public Works after Sub- hitting the lowest bid. The bridge cost has been financed from a ball. ance in the bridge bond fund, and the charging of expenditures against the current years budget has been unnecessary.
 Opening of the bridge is expected to do much to eliminate present traf- ,fic congestion near the Scovill man. ufacturing Company and will make unnecessary the present lengthy detours.
