HOUSE PREPARES
To VOTE LARGE
SUM FOR ARMY
Over Six, Half Billion May
be Added at Request
of President
WOULD BRING TOTAL TO
SIXTY SIX BILLIONS
Chief Executive Also Asks
Removal Of Limits
on Equipment

Washington, Nov. 1s-AP- A
House Appropriations subcommittee
went swiftly to work today on Pres
ident Rooseveh's request that an
other huge appropriation-s6,6s $751;
000,000-be voted for the Army.
Informed sources believed the
new appropriation request presaged
intensification OF aid TO Russia and
a further expansion OF the United
States land forces.
Less than "a hours after the re-
quest was received, the subcommit-
tee called Gen. George c. Marshall,
chief of staff, to explain the details
and purposes behind II. II the new
funds are voted, they will bring to
slightly more than $4,000. 000. 600
the total of cash and contractual
authority provided for defense and
lend-lease purposes since Hitler
invaded the low countries In the
spring OF 1910.
In addition to the funds, the Pres
hent asked Congress In, effect, to
remove the $1,000, 900, 900 limita-
Eion on the amount OF Army and
Navy equipment which could be
transferred TO other countries. This
led some legislators TO conjecture
that increased aid to Russia is
contemplated because Administra-
ton officials testified when the
second lend-lease appropriation. to-
taiing s5,965. e88, eee. was presented
few weeks ago that they did not
contemplate using any OF those
funds for aid TO Russia.
Removal Of the 81 800 .000, 900 linn
ftatiou. contained in the original
lend-lease act, would permit the
War Department to pool all defense
materials produced In this country
and distribute them as military Off
cials and the President deemed best,
informed sources said.
Approximately $3,T00, 100000 Of
the new fund was earmarked sim
ply, tor .sordnancs and ordnance
supplies, and some sources sug-
gssted large pAft OF that sum
would go toward tremendous In
crease in the nations tank produc-
ton. In that connection. II was i'm
mediately pointed out that the War
department recently let an sls,000.-
900 contract for doubling the pro-
ductiye capacity OF the Army's
