WAR RESOLUTION

Challenge to Administration
May be Followed up
by Senate Bloc
WOULD GIVE BASIS FOR
FOREIGN POLICY DEBATE
Anti-war Group Certain That
Resolution Couldn't
Pass Both Houses

tBY international News SerN icel
Washington, July l6-lNS-Confi-
dent that the bulk OF the country
wants to remain at peace. leaders
OF the Senate non-intervention bloc
are considering introduction OF a
war resolution TO challenge the Ad-
ministration's strength on the issue
This was disclosed today as mem
bers OF the group planned TO follow
up a formal challenge to the Admin.
lstration to ask for a declaration OF
war. voiced in the Senate yesterday
by Sen. Wheeler (D) Mont, their
leader.
The introduction OF such a resolu.
ton would put the issue over con
tinued peace or entering the war
on the side OF England into con.
crete form" one OF the non.inter-
ventionists said. He said also that It
could serve as basis for formal
debate over the Presidents foreign
policy whei' designed.
Sure Of Result
The non-interventionist based
their willingness to introduce a war
resolution on what they claimed to
be certainty that 1t could not pass
both houses OF Congress at this time
or In the near future.
IF those Administration leaders
want to go TO war let them come
out for support of the resolution, p"
was the way one leader of the bloc
they favor the resolution, and then
put 1t. Let them go on record that
let them answer to a country that
is overwhelmingly against war"
Another member OF the non-inter'
ventionists claimed that the intro
duction OF such resolution by the
group would have the effect Of
"quieting' Secretary OF the Navy
Knox, Secretary OF War Stimson,
"and other members of the Cabinet
who are screaming that We get into
war"
Voices Challenge
In the Senate yesterday Wheeler
voiced a formal challenge for de
bate on a war resolution as he as
sailed what he termed propaganda
for war by Josiah c. Wedgewood. a
member OF the British Parliament,
visiting in this country.
Wheeler said that he had no OBJ
lection to Wedgewood's personal at
tack on him through a newspaper
interview. but that the member OF
Parliament should "be thrown out
of the country as a propaganda for
war"

will announce a training program
for civilian glider pilots TO create
a reserve for future military glider
operations, it was understood to-
day.
The projected training program
follows closely a decision by Army
officials to include glider units in
the expanded air corps.
Meanwhile, Sen. Pat McCarran,
D., New, introduced legislation 10
establish a glider unit in the Ma
tional Youth Administration to
provide pilot training.
The Army has given II selected
officers a special glider training
course and It was assumed that
these officers would direct the
Army program when il gets under
way. The Marine Corps also has
expressed official interest in the
military possibilities Of gliders and
had an observer at the recent soar
ing meet at Elmira, n. Y.
Interest OF American Officials in
the military possibilities OF Gid
ers has been increased by the use
which Germany and Russia have
made OF them in military opera
items. The German Army landed
many troops on Crete with gliders
towed by sirplanes.
Russia for some years has train
ed large numbers Of glider pilots
