CD There will be fixed limit on its duration; (2) the President will be required to report to Con- gress, every three months, what has been done under the act;(3) conveying of supply ships will be expressly prohibited.
 Privately, the Administration would be glad to accept any time limit so long as it is expressed in general terms, such as fo the duration of the national emer- gency." But it's doubtful whether that can be put over. Sentiment is strong in the House for re- stricting the law to a specific period of time.
 The Republicans, most of whom are opposed to the bill, want to hold down its operation to one year. The Democrats are for a minimum of two years, and they will have the votes to decide the matter.
 Sentiment for the convoy ban is overwhelming. Many con- gressmen are insisting on it as the price of their support. They are telling leaders the ban is necessary to aIlay war fears in their district. They admit that Roosevelt has stated repeatedly
 that he has no intention of conveying ships, but the boys insist that it be put down in writing.
 This is particularly true Of the small group of Republicans who otherwise favor the bill. They are demanding the amendment for their protection.
 The COP, incidentally, is in a tough spot. The overwhelming majority is against the bill, but afraid such a lineup will hang an appeasement labed on the Repub- lican party. That is why there will be no whips cracked to make the boys vote.
 HOUSE FIRST
 Some of the Democratic House leaders would have preferred to let the Senate take the bill first, believing that would save time on amendments in the end. But the White House feared a protracted Senate battle and delay that would have an unfavorable phy- chological effect Quick action by the speedier House would give the bill a stronger position both in the Senate and with the pulp lie.
 The Administration can thank three Southerners for getting the bill through the public hear ings and Foreign Affairs Com mittee with a minimum of mauling. They are Representa- lives Luther Johnson, leyel- headed. veteran Texan; James P. Richards of South Carolina, and Wirt Courtney of Tennes- see. They carried the ball when the going got tough and with out any grandstanding, did smooth job of it.
 NOTE - 1S0latlOnlSt lntlmateS of Senator Burt Wheeler are hint ing that he will spring a big sen- sation during the Senate debate on the bill. The intimation is that 1t has to do with the peace ef- forts of William R. Davis, who bartered Mexican oil to the Nazis and recently denied he was financial packer of Verne Mar shali's No Foreign Wars Com- mittee.

MORE WORRIES

Congress is already beginning to worry about what will happen when the program is completed and the enormous stream of government spending dries up. There is now pending in the House and Senate legislation introduced by Congress- man Voorhis and Senator Wagner to set up ''post-emergency econ- onic advisory commission to look into the problem.
 This commission would be made up of three senators. three congress men and six representatives of the general public. Its duty would be to study the economic problems likely to confront the nation upon the ter mination of the present defense emergency" and to draft a complete program for the full utilization of the nations productive capacity thereafter
 That's a huge mouthful, when you stop to think about it, and you're likely to hear a good deal more about this bill before this Congress adjourns.
