 Demands of the Federal Govern ment's national defense program were described as impelling the meeting. The stockholders had been informed that - with this as the compelling reason they would be asked to approve the use of the occasion for complete, modern re-statemel1t of the objects and charter powers of the company. These have not been changed since the company's incorporation in March, 1892 -- nearly half a cen- tury ago.
 The company is, among those which expects to be called upon by the Government to enter upon and manage various munitions plants now being planned. The company's charter, until amended, would have interposed legal obsta- cles to responding fully to the Governments defense emergency requests.

ConnalIy Reported
Ready 10 Propose End
OF War Ban on Ships

Open All Ports TO
American Vessels
Earlier Story on Page A-6.)
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

BY j. A. " LEAhl.
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee was
reliably reported this afternoon to
have completed the draft of an
amendment to broaden the House
ship arming bill to let American YES
sells go to belligerent ports with
lease-lend goods.
AS the hearings drew to a close
late today, administration leaders
still were noncommittal on whether
they would launch the fight for
wider revision in the committee to-
morrow morning, or wait until the
bill reaches the floor, where the
percentage of isolationiSts is not as
high as If the committee.
In more than one reliable source,
however, the belief was held today
that the administration supporters
will seek to revise the bill in COM
mittee if they are confident when
they meet tomorrow they have a
majority.
The situation in committee for
broadening amendments is said to
hinge on how Senators George,
Democrat, of Georgia and White,
Republican, of Maine vote. If both
decided to support the move to
amend the bill, the vote for re-
vision would probably be Is to 10 for
the amendments.
Even if the leaders decide not to
try to amend the bill in committee,
however. such a move on the floor
is believed to be a foregone conclu-
sion.
In such situation all indications
are the administration leaders will
sponsor the revision move to give it
greater strength than it would have
coming from individual Senators, or
from the Republican side.

Out of Corner of Eye
As Decision Comes

A District Court jury required
only 18 minutes this afternoon to
find Jarvis Catoe guilty of MUIR
dering and criminally attacking
Mrs. Rose Abramowitz and to
condemn him to death.
The jury of IL men and woman
retired to the juryroom at 2:55 pm.
and returned at 3:l3 pm. The
| jurors found Catoe guilty of murder
in the first degree and, in addition,
convicted him of criminal assault
with recommendation for the death
! penalty.
The jury. inpaneled 10 days ago,
had listened to final arguments in
the case during the morning and
fhad received final instructions from
Justice James w. Morris after
lunch. The speed with which the
verdict was reached surprised OBJ
servers.
When the jury raped on the door
OF the room in which it was deliber-
ating, indicating 1t had reached a
verdict, Justice Morris was sum-
moned from his chambers and the
36-year-old colored defendant was
brought from the courthouse lock-
up. With the defendant, his coun-
sci and prosecutors assembled in
the courtroom, the jury filed in.
Their faces were grim, and Juror
Melvin H. Manden, 4707 Connect
cut avenue NV, who had been
chosen foreman, took his place in
the No. l seat in the jury box.
Defendant Grips Chair.
Catoe, who had been ordered to
stand up, glsn uneasily at the
jury out of the corner OF his eve,
He held to chair in front Of him
as the court clerk said:
Mr.. Foreman, how find you on
the first indictment?" CThis indict-
ment charged Catoe with murder
committed in the course of criminal
asSault)
I'VE find him guilty as indicted"
answered Mr.. Mandell.
How find you on the third indict-
ment?"
The third indictment charged
Catoe with criminal assault.
I'VE find him guilty as indicted
and recommend the death penalty"
answered the foreman.
Jury Is Polled.
Catoe's face was impressive as he
heard the jury condemn him to
death. He stood immobile as Justice
Morris asked members of the jury
if the foreman's statement repre-
Sented their true verdict. The jurors
signified that the verdict was cor
rect.
THE jury is now discharged and
the court wishes to extend its thanks
to the jurors" said Justice Morris.
THE duties have been arduous and
necessarily confirming"
Then bailiffs tugged at Catoe's
sleeve and started to lead him from
the room on Justice Morris order
that the prisoner be remanded. AS
he passed his counsel table, Catoe
bent over and whispered, Some
break" to his lawyers.
Defense Counsel Walter M. Shea,
J. Robert Esher and George Bowden
announced Immediately they would
ask for new trial, and if this was
not granted. would appeal the case.
