BY the Associated Press.
Senator LANCER, Republican. Of
North Dakota told the Senate Elec-
tiOns Committee today that he paid
a total of $60.455 for land and i'm
provements which Gregory Brunk
of Des Moines testified he bought
from Mr.. LANCER for $50 800 on a
sight unseen" basis in 1887 and
1888.
At the same time Mr.. LANCER de-
MED having any connection with
the purchase or sale of North Da-
kota county bonds in 1887 and 1898
by the V. w. Brewer Co, profits of
which were shared by Mr.. Brunk.
Mr.. Brunk testified last week that
he bought the land from Mr.. LANCER
without making any investigation as
to its worth and that one reason
he did so was because he strongly
believed Mr.. LANCER had been
prosecuted
Appraisers for the committee,
which is holding hearings on Mr.
Langer's fitness to hold g. Senate
seat, estimated the fair cash market
value of equities in land and mort
cages purchased from Mr.. LANCER
by Mr.. Brunk at less than $4,000.
Some of the land involved in the
sales to Mr.. BrunK, Mr. LANCER told
the committee. was the finest farm

Murphy, Mr.. Langers attorney,
asked in connection with the bond

whatever to do with the purchase
by the Brewer Co. or the other bond
dealers from the respective counties
of these bonds and nothing what
ever to do with their resale to State
institutions?"
That's entirely true" Mr.. LANCER
replied
Mr.. LANCER likewise denied that
he had attempted to influence Fed

Continued From First Page J

Democrats opposing the bill. Repre-
sentative Eaton Of New Jersey asked
why this country is building up a
two-ocean Navy and a great defense
force If they believe this little neu-
trality law" will prevent war.
Representative Keefe of Wisconsin
asked the speaker if he did not
distinguish between a defensive war
on American soil and foreign war
Mr.. Eaton replied: You will be
unable to convince me it is better
to let the war come over here and
destroy our women and children"
than to help beat Hitler abroad
Commenting on letters he received
from persons who interpret the bill
as meaning war and saying they do
not want American lives lost. Mr..
Eaton said that in a year there will
be as many people killed on the
highways as this country lost in
the World War. but no one writes
to him suggesting that highways
be done away with.
Sasscer Opposes Bill.
Representative Sasscer, Demo-
crat, of Maryland took the floor
against the bill. after Representa-
tive D'Alesandro of Baltimore had
spoken for it. There we're no in
dications any other Maryland men,
bers would oppose the measure.
Mr.. D'Alesandro called for a solid
front behind the President, not only
because of the gravity of the foreign
situation, but because there are
some people in America who are
ready to accept the crumbs of lib
erty a world dictator would throw
them and are willing to sacrifice
their rights and the rights OF their
children to live as free men,"
Mr.. Sasscer said he had supported
previous emergency legislation OF
the administration including the
lease-lend bill, as steps to keep the
United States out of war. He said
he could not apply that reasoning
to the Senate neutrality amend
ments.-
