WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Sena- tor Burtan K. Wheeler, Montana today tore into the Administration $ British Aid bill, calling it an in- vitation to dictatorship.
 Senator Francis T. Maloney Connecticut, pleaded it's passage as an encouragement to democracy.
 The two Democrats kept the de- bate rolling along on it's eleventh day.
 In flowing oratory, the defeat of the bill, said Senator Maloney would bring rejoicing and renewed strength" to Germany and the psychological effect of the bills defeat might well be disastrous to England and her allies and the smaller nations of the world.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 28-CIO workers of the Bethlehem Steels plant in suburban Lackawana, have ended a two day strike after un- animous approval of the Govern ment's drafted formula for a set clement.

 Earlier, Van Bittner, the S te c l workers organization committee di- rector, said the company and union officials agreed to ratify a three point program submitted direct from President Roosevelt's office to the production management to end the strike
 The program asked that both the union and company agree that all employees of the plant be fully rein stated
 A conference will now be held to adjust differences and also to dis cuss with the Labor Board the pos sibility of holding an election to determine the bargaining agency.
