 Out Of Europe
-lRY Associated pressl

WASHINGTON. March = Ad- ministration leaders disclosed that they were drafting a compromise amendment to the British aid hu which may restrict the use of Amer ican land and naval forces in for eign areas. Senator George Of Geor- gia said members of the foreign Ie- lations committee who are friendly to the administration bill had dratt- ed in tentative form a proposal that might be substituted for a pending amendment by Senator Ellender or Louisiana which would insert into the bill a statement of policy that American armed forces should not be sent out of the western hemis- phere. George said he was opposed to a specific limitation involving the western hemisphere because it might be interpreted wrongly by Japan as an indication that the country was weakening in it's stand against az gression in the Far East.

 The limit on the commercial catch of herring was reduced to 25,000 barrels for both Kodiak and Prince William sound, 8 eurtailment of 50,OO0 for Kodiak and 100000 for Prince William sound.
