American affairs.
Ybarra, who In widely known
for his best-selling autobiography,

What seems most difficult for

The vote was announced, as 212
to 1874, a margin of l8 votes in a
hard-fought victory for the admin
istration.
The vote, deciding one of the
most crucial tests of foreign policv
since the start of World war II,
came soon after Speaker Sam Ray
burn read a letter from Mr. Roose-
welt appealing for passage. He
warned that any other result
would cause rejoicing in Berlin and
make it more difficult to stop
strikes.

Of the Presidents letter came aftec
two days of debate m the house
during which opposition speakers
told their colleagues and jammed
galleries that passage would be the
final step in a ful-Scale, all-oNt
undeclared war.
Fate of the key foreign policy
measure had been extremely uncer-
tain due to defections of Democra-
tic members because of anger over
the administrations failure to act
quickly and drastically to curb
strikes in defense industry.
ROOSEVELT PROMISES
The President met this challenge
with a promise that labor disputes
will not be allowed to interfere
with defense-"The government,
he said, proposes to see this thing
