when both the house and senate convene tomorrow battle lines were expected to be sufficiently formed to SC toff debate on the major sub- ject before the new congress.
 A prelude of what is to come tr the weeks ahead was given in 6 radio debate last night. Wheeler denounced the plan as "The New Deals triple a foreign policy - plough under every fourth Ameri- can boy" He and John T. Flynn nawespaper writer and economists debated with Sen. Josh Lee, D. Okla, and Herbert Agar, editor o1 the Louisville Courier Journal. Lee contended that Germany lis at wal with America today" in all senses except the military, and that the only road to peace is ito get ready for Hitler before he gets ready foI us.''
 Supporters of the bill were en- couraged by the announcement o1 Wendell L. Willkie, Republican presidential nominee last year, that he favored it, with notifications.
 Drastic limitation of the power the "lend-lease" bill would grant the president, appeared to be the first objective of those wholly op- posed to the administrations poI- cies as well as those who favor all out aid to Britain but oppose the present bill.
 Willkie's recommendation that congress limit the time the pro posed presidential powers are 10 remain in effect, was in lne wltn an earlier recommendation of act ing Senate Republican Leader War ren R. Austin htat such a limitation was essen tial.

 Labor Unions in Fight
 Washington, Jan. 13.-(UP)-Na' tional Labor Relations Board mem Der William M. Leiserson suggested a new defense labor policy today based on a centralized federal media ton service and seeking voluntary agreements from management anc labor to give 30 days notice ol strikes or lockouts.
 He opposed compelling labor to re- main at work because, he said, mer work best and produce more without comDulsion. Further, he contended laws to prohibit strikes would no' prevent them and would not be nec' essary if machinery is provided fol to promptly adjust grievances anc negc tiate on reasonable demands.
 His proposal came while congress men were discussing plans to intro ducC legislation to cope with labol disputes in defense industries whicf range from an enforced wait pc riod' before strike action, to lega prohibition of strikes.
 There were authoritative reports that Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N Y. sponsor of much of the admins tration's social legislation, would de lay introduction of 8 new federal me- diation bill until after conferences with defense chieftains William 5 Knuisen and Sidney Hillman.
 AFL Ready to Fight
