Roosevelt Delays
Completing Plans
On Neutrality Act
Congressional Leaders
Meet With President
To Iron Out Problems

WASHINGTON. Oct. 7.
(UP) - President Roosevelt
indicated to congressional
leaders of both parties to-
day that he desires repeal OF
two sections OF the neutrality act
which forbid arming of y. S. mer-
chant ships and prevent them from
going into belligerent zones.
The president advanced his rec
concentrations at a long session
two hours and 35 minutes-Wlth
the leaders. Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull and Harry Hopkins, the
presidents executive assistant IN
charge of the war-aid program, par
ticipated III the discussions.
The meeting developed consider
able differences of opinion, partl-
cularly over procedure, and another
conference was called for 10 am
tomorrow. The senate's democratic
leader, Alben w. Barkley OF Ken
lucky, expressed confidence that
complete agreement could be
worked out at that time.
Purpose of the projected changes
in the law is to increase the effec-
tiveness of American shipping in
aiding Britain and Russia admins
tration desire for the changes was
heightened by PanamaS decision
to forbid arming of merchants that
are placed under Panamanian reg
istry
Chief reason for indeclsion at
today'S conference was disagree
ment over the form the legislation
should take whether congress
should be asked to accomplish the
revision in TWO bills or one. The
consensus was in favor of combin-
ing the two items in one bill but
a few favored doing the job in two
steps
The confcrees reported to asso-
ciates that there also was sharp
disagreement as to whether the
legislation should be started in the
house or senate. Today's contereea
were mostly from the senate. It
was understood additional house
leaders would participate in tomor-
rows meeting.
Meantime, Secretary OF State Cor
del Hull told his press conference
the state department had not been
consulted on the question of armine
U. S. ships of Panamanian registry
and that it had not been consulted
by Panama prior to that cOuntryS
