means of strengthening American
defense will be urged by Represen-
tative johnson of Texas, ranking
Democrat on the House Foreign At

Mr.. johnson made his announce
ment while the committee was hear
ing former Undersecretary of State
William r. Castle in opposition to
the bill.
Speaking for the America First
Committee. Mr. Castle centered his
argument against the delegation of

In revealing his move for a time
limit, Representative Johnson also
replied to the claim of opponents
that the bill gives the President a

by pointing out that the bill is
merely an authorizing" measure,
and that actually the money to be
spent would have to be passed on
by Congress from time to time in
appropriation bills.

the committee were rebuked on the
