The House passed and sent to the
Senate today a s1,533 ,43e ,7O2 emer-

or even a ripple of opposition.
Approximately $4,000, 900 for work
in this area was included in the bill
which carried 1898 8,321 ,702 in cash
and contract authorizations for the
Navy and $685., $4,000 for the Army,
the latter being designed principally
for cantonment construction and

are expanded further, the House Ap-
preparations Committee recommend

CIoture on Aid Bill

In Senate Debute
BY the Associated Press.

Senator Chavez, Democrat, of New
Mexico and Senator Brown, Demo-
crat, of Michigan took up the cud-
gels today on the British-aid bill,
Senator Chavez contending that the
legislation invited war while Senator
Brown argued that it was the best,
"the only weapon" at hand for the
self-defense of American democ-
racy.
With the general debate now in
its tenth day, some supporters of
the bill manifested fresh uneasiness
over the possibility of a surprise
opposition filibuster, despite an
agreement to start consideration of
amendments next week.
Senator Van Nuys, democrat, of
Indiana said he would not be sur
ptised at such tactics, and announced
that in such an event he would
favor cioture of debate Normally
consideration of amendments sig
nifies the approach of a final roll
call. But it was pointed out that
opposition Senators could continue
to speak at any length during the
amendment discussion, if they
wished.
Senator Van Nuys voiced the be-
lief that enough votes were avail
able to impose cloture-but a num-
ber of colleagues seemed very du-
bious about this point.
There were indications, however,
that the administration leadership
might decide to call on its parlia-
mentary strength in an attempt to
get a final vote next week.
Senator Chavez, meanwhile, car
ried on the opposition's fight. In
the speech he prepared for Senate
delivery, he declared that the pend
