Taft Proposes
Amendments
To Lease Bill.
Leaders Predict British Aid
Measure Will Be Ap-
proved by March l
DEBATE is PLANNED.
Wendell Willkie Expected
To Testify Before Com
mittee Early in Week

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. - Up -
House passage of the administra-
tons British aid bill was followed to-
day by new demands in the senate
for changes in the measure, but lead
ers predicted the legislation would
be approved without major alteration
by March 1.
Democratic Leader Barkley said he
exected to start senate debate on the
bill late this week, and
declared he was confident of senate
approval without any important
change by the months end.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio), foe of the
measure, proposed, meanwhile, a Sc
ries of seven amendments, one of
which would prohibit American ships
from entering war zones.
Transfer Opposed
Another would forbid repair Of for
eign ships in American ports, a third
would prevent the President from
transferring naval vessels to foreign
powers, and a fourth would prohibit
the disposal of any defense article
until after congress had appropriat-
ed money to carry on the aid pro-
gram.
Taft suggested, too, that defense
articles" sent to warning ''democra-
cies" should be limited to those
manufactured in this country. An
other of his proposed amendments
would require that any money col
lected from nations benefitting under
the program be placed in the treas.
ury as miscellaneous receipts instead
of being set up as q revolving fund
for production of defense materials.
Taft's amendments will be consid-
cred by the foreign relations COM
mittee after it concludes hearings on
the bill, probably Tuesday.
Chairman George (D-Ga) called the
committee to hear additional opposi-
tion witnesses tomorrow. Wendell
L. Willkie, just returned from a sur
vey tour of Great Britain, is expect
ed to testify Tuesday.

Against the other end of the

an attack on Mannheim. Germany,
as well as on the Nazi-occupied
ports of Flushing and Rotterdam

Prime Minister Churchill. telling
the British empire by radio of
this latest exploit of Britain's sea-
power, called it "shattering"
bombardment "of the naval base
from which perhaps a Nazi Ger
man expedition might soon have
sailed to attack (French General
Weygand in Algeria or Tunis."
Sail Past Corsica
To reach Genoa. the British had
to sail past Sardinia and Corsica
into an arm of the Mediterranean,
the Ligurian Sea, many miles from
British bases at either Gibraltar
or Malta. Genoa is the site of big
merchant marine and naval con-
struction.
To carry out this assignment in
the innermost waters of the sea
which Italians call "ours,' the
British called on some of their
finest and mightiest fighting ships
"a fleet of about 10000 tons

City Manager Vote Bill
Rules Suspension Slated

Suspension Of the rules in the
house will be asked when the bill
to provide an election on the ques-
ton of establishing the city mana
ger form of government here is
introduced in the lower body of
the legislature today, Representa-
tive Jack LeGrand said yesterday.
In asking that the rules be sus-
pended, Rep. LeGrand pointed out
this move was planned because Of
the need of action on the measure
as early as possible so that if an
election is held it will not conflict
with the city primary in April.
The election machinery referred
to in the bill provides that. in the
event OF its passage, an election
must be held within 40 days after
its approval. The election ma
chinery also requires the board OF

will refer it to committee. The
committee is expected to report
it out not later than Thursday.
Rep. LeGrand, who said he was
also speaking for New Hanoyer's

ing to Enter Upon Phase
OF Greater Violence

LONDON, Feb. 9.-R-Ger-
manv's expected invasion of Bull
saria perhaps has already begun,
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
declared tonight in world radio
address in which he promised to
finish the job" of defeating Adolf
Etler without the h elp of an
american expeditionary force.
On this point Churchill was en-
phatic. American aid in the form
Of supplies now seems assured,
he said. to clinch a British victory.
In the last war the United
States sent 100000 men across
the Atlantic, but this is not a war
OF vast armies, hurting immense
masses of shells at one another"
the prime minister declared. I'VE
30 not need the gallant armies
which are forming throughout the
American union. We do not need
them this year nor next year nor
any year that l can foresee.
Needs Materials
But Britain does need IAN i'm
mense and continuous supply of war
materials" and to get them needs
more shipping facilities, he said.
He mentioned Bulgaria and the
difficulty of convincing that nation
that with Germany it would be on
the losing side, after a happy de-
Scription of British successes in
Africa and the defense work at
home.
I'VE may be sure" he went on,
that the war is soon going to en-
ter upon a phase of greater vio-
lerce. Hitler's confederate, Mus
solini, has reeled back in Albania.
But the Nazis, having absorbed
hungary and driven Rumania into
trlghtful internal convulsion, are
already upon the Black Sea.
