Ban Vote d Down
I62 TO 2I When
Ballot Called

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
(UP)-The house today re-
jected by a vote Of 1862 to 81
an anti-interVentiOniSt effort
to bar American lend-lease
aid to Russia.
The vote came on an amendment
to the $5,985 100000 lend lease ap-
preparation bill and after the house
in series of rapid fire votes re-
jected a half dozen attempts to cur
tail the amount Of the huge war aid
bill.
Rep. Robert R. Pa, proposed the
Soviet Union. He said that he did
so because he hated everything
having to do with Communism.
Both Republican and Democratic
leaders spoke against any more that
might weaken RuSSiaS S resistance to
the German army. Rep. John Taber.
r., N. Y, announced he was obliged
to oppose any move that would pre-
vent President Roosevelt from grant
ing lend-lease aid to any nation
according to recommendation of
the nations military chieftains."
Rep. Clifton A. WoodrIm, D., Va,
said it was his wish that the entire
S5, ,895 100000 worth of war materials
could be dumped Immediately on
Russian soil for the assistance of
the Red army.

nights sleep over the safety OF
the democracies of the world and

Administration leaders apparently
seeking an overwhelming margin on
passage of the appropriation in
preparation for the neutrality act
revision battle, were keeping their
supporters together to beat off at
temptS to reduce the huge war aid
sums.
Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum, D.. Va,
a supporter of the presidents for
eign police, and Rep Robert F..
Rich, R., Pa, participated in fiery
exchange at one point.
A few moments later the house
tentatively approved the full am
ount OF the appropriation by re-
jecting every amendment to the
sections of the bill making the spe-
cific allocationS
Rich then offered his amendment

that with the aid of reserves rushed
to the front it was fighting strongly
to prevent closing OF the German
trap on the central sector and had
inflicted tremendous casualties on
the enemy. Russian dispatches said
that the German offensive still was
being held in furious battling in
the Vyazma and Orel sectors.
The Germans reported that the
mopping up of about 100000 Rus
slams allegedly encircled by the Of
fenSive was continuing and that a
3O0-mile sector of the eastern front
had collapsed as the Axis forces
rushed further eastward.
These conflicting claims did not
detract from what Moscow admitted
was an extraordinarily grave men,
ace that required the full efforts
of every Soviet citizen to back up
the Red army.
BRITISH AROUSED
The crisis on the eastern front
also spurred demands in Great Brit
ain for immediate action to relieve
the NaZi pressure on Russia by
counteraction in western Europe or
some other vital front. Every Lon
don newspaper joined in the de-
mands that seemed to threaten
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
with the necessity of reorganizing
his cabinet unless some action is
taken.
There was not the slightest hint
that the British were planning to
strike in the west at this time, al
though it was pointed out that If
such plans were being considered
they would De a military secret.
In the Far East, there were more
definite indications that Japan is
planning to take advantage of any
military collapse in Russia. possibly
by moving against Siberia.
PRESSURE ON TOKYO
At Tokyo. it was disclosed that
AXIS pressure on Japan for action
to aid the German offensive in
Russia was increasing and the press
said that Japan might be forced
to take measures in the north to
meet the Soviet situation.
The German ambassador confer
red with Japanese officials and
Heinrich Stahmer, who has been
credited with engineering Hitler's
chief diplomatic victories in the Far
East, returned to take up his post
as ambassador at Nanking.
At the same time, the prospect for
any agreemnt between Japan and
the United States to lessen tension
in the Pacific area was more dis
cOuraging than ever.
The fighting on the Eastern front.
which London reported to involve
100000 AXIS troops, continued re-
