Reich Reported
Storing Secret
Funds in II. S.
, the Associated Press.

OS SAS ASoOSAdNSu E4Coos
Usually we'll informed officials
said today open German funds in
the United States had been dwin-
ding, but hidden funds probably
had been built up here, in Latin
America and elsewhere.
These officials noted that reports
that the United States might
freeze" German funds in this
country had been circulating for
several months, and had caused
Germany either to withdraw or hide
some wealth to escape action.
The only official estimates avail
able, all many months old, show
Germany and its citizens had about
$3.50, 900 900 here.
The Treasury has been recon-
mending the freezing not only of
German but all other foreign funds
in the United States for some time
to provide better means of checking
on the use of some such funds for
propaganda and other purposes, but
so far no action has been taken
by the Government except in the
cases of countries, such as Bulgaria,
which have been occupied by axis
or Russian troops.

Senators Reject
Ban on Sending
OF u. 5. Troops
Act After Hull
Says Move Would
Encourage japan
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)

Senate leaders decided this
afternoon to oppose any British
aid amendments meant to limit
activities of American troops to
the Western Hemisphere. They
made the decision after Secre-
tary Hull was reported to have
said such proposals would en-
courage the japanese to be more
aggressive.
Previously there had been talk
that the leadership might accept
some compromise amendment re-
garding the movement of American
armed forces.
Secretary Hull was quoted as say
ing that any such proposal would
give the green light to Japan" in
developing an aggressive foreign
policy.
The amendment to ban the send
ing of men to Europe was proposed
by Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
WC1C
it would not be voted on before to-
morrow, although discussion of it
began around 3 pm.
Approval of seven clarifying
amendments in rapid succession
earlier in the day brought the
chamber down to the real issues
over which opposing sides have de-
bated for nearly three weeks.
Supporters Confident.
Supporters of the bill were con-
fldent this afternoon they have suf-
ficient votes to beat the Ellender
proposal.
Advocates of the bill are opposing
the amendment, not because they
contemplate the use of armed forces
under the bill, but because of the
psychological effect the amendment
might have in encouraging dicta-
tors and discouraging those fight
ing aggression.
Opening the debate for the
amendment, Senator Ellender said
its purpose is to "allay the fears OF
Vi fAlIlC14Cdll anu
others by making certain this is a
bill for material and nothing else" :"
He read the platforms of the two
major parties in last years election
to show that nothing more than
material aid is favored by either
party.
THE American people," he said,
"can be united today by placing in
the bill language to carry out what
we have promised them and not
merely render lip service"
Senator Johnson, Republican, Of
California, supporting the Ellender
proposal, declared that the Presi-
dent and the Senate, on no less than
five occasions, have said no Ameri-
can boys should be sent to foreign
soil to fight battles there"
Majority Leader Barkley replied
that on each occasion when the
Senate has said that it was dealing
with legislation to draw men into
the Army.
There is nothing in this bill that
even remotely relates to men," Sem

on the dash to the frontier, Carol
sent the maid on an errand and his
valet to the post Office with a letter
addressed to the Rumanian Consul

"They are expected to get.as far as

not expected to return" he added.
"They are being manned by fanatical
young Germans-volunteers of death,

"They would fire torpedoes at short
range and their subsequent chance
of escape, provided there was ade-
quate convoy, would be negligible.
Providing the enemy have enough
