Py the Associated Press.

Ps the Associated Press.
The Senate Finance Committee. in
a formal report on a $4,000, 900 ,0O0-
plus "GI. Bill Of Rights described
1t yesterday as admittedly more
extensive and generous" in its bene-
hts for veterans than any bill in
this or any other war.
The committee said, however,
We view it as true economy :
the best money that can be spent
for the future welfare OF the Ma
tion," because:
The men and women who COM
pose our armed forces and who
will compose our armed forces be-
fore the end of the war not only
now hold the destiny OF this Re-
public firmly in their hands, they
will so hold it for generation to
come"
Chairman George has estimated
the cost of overall benefits to re-
turning veterans under the bill at
s., 600 500, 900 exclusive of $780,.
000,000 authorization for additional
hospital facilities for the wounded
and disabled.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said he considered the potential cost
"as SO indefinite and so capable OF
being a tremendous sum that feel
more consideration should have been
given by the full committee"
Senator Taft added that this die
not necessarily mean that he viii
oppose the measure.
The bill provides for federally
financed education or vocational
training, special unemployment
compensation credit for time spent
in service and loans up to $1,000.
The committee report expressed
belief the measure would provid.
greater advantages to veterans al
less expense to the taxpayer thar
would bonus arrangement.
But it did not suggest that the bill
close the door on future veterans
benefits, saying:
The committee does not contend
that it is or can be the last word or
the subject. We do assert /,
represents the very least that should
be done at this time"

u. s., Britain Discuss
Change in Resale Rule
|0f Lease-Lend Goods

The United States and Great
Britain are conducting conversa-
tions looking toward the drafting
of revised restrictions on the re-
sale Of lease-lend goods. Secretary
of State Hull and Leo r. Crowley,
chief of the Foreign Economic Ad-
ministration, announced yesterday.
One purpose of the talks, the am
nonucement said, is to broaden the
scope of the restrictions so as to
include British reverse lease-lend
shipments to the United States. The
previous restrictions, imposed by the
British themselves two years ago In
a unilateral declaration, applied
only to goods sent from this country
to Great Britain.
Secretary Hull and Mr.. Crowley
took note of press reports declaring
that the British restrictions on the
resale of American lease-lend gooas
were being scrapped, and denied
them vigorously.
1t is reliably understood that one
purpose of the present discussions
is to clarity the right of the Brit
ish to resell goods obtained from
this country If they were paid for
in cash-in which case, 1t was
pointed out, they would not come
within the category of lease-lend.
The statement said the conver-
sations had not been concluded:
that as soon as possible the appro-
pirate committees Of Congress would
be consulted about them; and that
the resulting agreement, which will
be made public, will fully protect
the interests Of American industry.

DR.. Angus Dun Confers
With Episcopal Heads
On Cathedral Plans

DR.. Angus Dun of Cambridge,
Mass. spent the week end in the
city comforting with Episcopal lead
ers, probably regarding plans for
his conservation as fourth Bishop
OF Washington on Aprh 19 at Wash
ington Cathedral.
Several important members of the
Cathedral chapter from other cities
have been participating in a series
OF conferences here on future plans
for the Cathedral and the diocese.
Outstanding among the problems
is selection of dean to succeed the
late Very Rev. zeBarney T. Phil
lips. The new dean is to be nomi-
mated by Bishop Dun and elected by
the Cathedral chapter.
The deans responsibilities will be
largely those of managing the Ca
thedral and leading the movement
for completion of the great edifice.
This was emphasized by former
Senator George Wharton Pepper,
prominent member of the chapter,
in an address at the Sulgrave Club
Friday before a distinguished group
OF Episcopal women.
The names most frequently heard
as possibilities for the deanship are
the Rev. DR.. Alexander C. Zabriskie,
dean Of the Theological Seminary in
Virginia, located at Alexandria; the
Rev. DR.. Phillips Endicott Osgood,
rector of Emmanuel Church, Boston.
and president of the house of depu-
ties OF the Episcopal Church general
convention: DR.. John Suter, rector
OF the Church of the Epiphany, New
York; DR.. Samuel M. Shoemaker,
rector OF Calvary Church, New York.
and DR.. Donald Aldrich, rector of the
Church OF the Ascension, New York.
In addition to Mr.. Pepper, prom
lnent out-of-town Episcopalians
here for weekend conferences in
clude: the Rev. DR.. Anson Phelps
Stokes, Canon Of Washington Ca
'thedral, now residing at Lenox,
Mass, and the Rt. Rev. Noble C.
Powell OF Baltimore, Bishop Of
Maryland.
Meantime preliminary plans are
being made for the 49th annual con-
vention OF the Washington Diocese
May 10 at Rock Greek Church, of
which the Rev. Charles w. Wood is
rector. The Rev. DR.. F. j. Bohanan,
president Of the Standing Committee
OF the diocese, is retired rector.

tee.
In the case of FEPC, however.
the Budget Bureau has already sub
mitted to the House a supplemental
estimate for $585, 900 for the coming
fiscal year, which will give Congress
an opportunity to pass directly on
the continuation of that agency.
There were reliable reports yester-
day that Congress will make every
effort to complete all of it's money
bills in time to adjourn before the
Republican National Convention
opens June 26. With the Demo-
cratic convention set for July 10, the
House and Senate may try to agree
on an adjournment extending from
late in June until after Labor Day.
FEPC as Statutory Agency Opposed.
Meanwhile, Representative Hoff-
man, Republican, of Michigan pre-
dicted that the House Labor Com
mittee will shelve pending legisla-
tion formally making the FEPC a
congresslonally-approve agency.
"In my judgment the committee
will never bring out any of those
bills relating to FEPC," Mr.. Hoff-
man, who is a committee member,
told reporters.
Pointing out that FEPC was
created by executive order, Mr.. Hoff- :
man contended it had no authority
under law ito do anything" and
that it now can do nothing but make
recommendations to the White
House.
He opposes making FEPC a statu-
tory agency, he added, because you
cannot bring about social equality
by legislation any more than you
can make saints out of sinners by
law"
Chairman Norton of the commit
tee said no action has been taken
on the FEPC legislation, adding 'it's
a hot issue Just now"

sion burst under one of the en-
gines and set it on fire.
The air behind us was like a
forest fire caused by the cannon of
these fighters" says Sergt. Harris
who was acting as tail gunner and
took the brunt of the attack. He
picked out one Junker in an at
tack of six and started firing at it.
The German came in so close that
Sergt. Harris could see the spent
cases and ammunition links falling
into the motors. 1t burst into
flames and spun earthward.
The pilot had succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the fire in the engine
but he could not get it started
again. Another engine was knocked
out and the plane had to drop out
of formation. The fight, by this
time, had lasted more than an hour.
Three other enemy fighters had
been brought down. Both the chin
turret and the ball turret had been
put out of action.
Then there appeared among the
attacking planes a four -engined
bomber that looked like a Flying
Fortress. 1t did not come in close
but fired broadsides and rockets
and cannon against the crippled
plane.
When the North Sea was sighted
all the German fighters left. The
Fortress was out of control. Orders
were given to throw everything
overheard. The crew took up crash
positions in the radio room. The
ship hit hard and broke in two.
The men barely had strength left
to get into their rubber boats. A
high sea was running. Fortunately
a friendly bomber appeared and
circled their position for about three
hours, when an air-sea rescue craft
reached them.
All the crew had lost the use of
their limbs from cold and had to
be carried ashore.
Sergt. Harris says: ''The worst
came when we thought the attack.
couldn't last much longer A four
engine plane, which I thought at
first was one of ours, suddenly
began to shoot rockets at us and
followed the rocket attack with
cannon fire. Twas ready to quit
a dozen times. I was tired and
didn't seem to have any nerve left.
But in a few more minutes we
hit the coast and all our attackers
left. When we hit the water it
was just like driving down the road
in a big truck at about 80 miles
an hour and hitting a solid wall.
The plane Immediately split in two
right where we we're in the radio
compartment but all of us managed
to get out and into our RATS in the
80 seconds before she sank"

House Will Defeat
Job Approval Plan,
Cannon Declares
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee predicted last night the
House will turn down the plan
to require Senate confirmation
of all Government employees
drawing $4,000 or more a year.
The proposal is one of several con-
troversial amendments added to the
$8,557 ,993,978 independent Offices
supply bill by the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee 10 days ago, and
due to be voted on in the Senate
early this week.
The Senate is expected to approve
the Denomination requirement,
but Mr.. Cannon said he feels GER
tain the House will not "go along"
Last year the House blocked a SINH
lar confirmation rule the Senate
sought to apply to 10 war agencies.
The pending amendment would ap-
ply to all Government bureaus.
Burden Called Too Great.
"The House could never consent
to it," said Mr.. Cannon. Besides,
it would involve a physical burden
that would greatly interfere with the
work of the Senate"
Figures compiled about Is months
ago placed the number of employees
and officials receiving $4,000 or more
at PITTS.
When the Senate resumes debate
on the Independent Offices bill to-
morrow, the first decision will come
on efforts of Senator Mead, Demo-
crat, of New York TO restore ST.
954,857 cut from the budget of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion for its radio intelligence and
foreign broadcast analysis work.
The House slashed $1,654,857 from
the item and the Senate commit
tee trimmed another $500, 900. An
effort also will be made to restore
5000 900 the Senate committee cut
from the FEC general expense item.
The major battle probably will
center on the committee proposal,
led by Senator McKellar, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, to curb the DOW
ers of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority. Most important of several
restrictions is one abolishing the
iva revolving fund, by requiring its
receipts to go into the Treasury,
and proposing its expenditures be
appropriated by Congress.
FEPC Controversy.
Another controversial issue in the
bill is the Russell amendment, which
seeks to give Congress a chance to
pass on the continued existence of
agencies created by executive order.
1t provides that no Federal funds
could be used to run such agencies
after they have been in existence for
one year, unless Congress makes a
direct appropriation for the purpose
1t is believed to affect about dozen
emergency agencies, including the

RooseveIt-ChurchiII
Conference Rumored
As Soviet Veers
By the Associated Press

| LONDON, Mar. 18.-President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill may meet soon, and
Premier Stain may confer with
them later, it was reported in
London tonight as speculation
increased over whether Russia is
|playing a lone hand in dealing
with European issues.
A series of recent diplomatic de-
velopments involving Russia have
posed this Soviet lone-h policy
sharply for the United States and
Great Britain, and there is a pos
slbility that clarifcation on the
subject will be sought.
Diplomatic quarters in London
suggested that Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Churchill might meet after the
forthcoming London visit of Under
secretary of State Stettinius to dis
cuss a series of new problems in
European politics, with Premier
Stain possibly being called in after
ward to get his accord.
The question of Russian policy
in any case seems to be a problem.
Disturbed by Italian Policy.
American and British quarters
were frankly amazed and disturbed
by the agreement of the Soviet gov
ernment and the italian govern
ment Of Marshal Pietro Badoglio to
Exchange Representatives. move
made despite the fact the Allies still
are treating Italy as a defeated
enemy.
This was in sharp contrast to the
close contact maintained between
Russia and the western Allies in
pressing price-of-peace-demands on
Finland, in which all parties were
kept up to the minute on develop
ments.
But the Russian action in Italy
seemed blow at carefully worked
out arrangements to deal with Italy
through the Allied Control Com
mission and the Advisory Commits
sion on which the Soviet Union has
seat.
Polish Dispute Is Problem.
With the situation in Finland ex-
pected, she action came against this
background: ,+sn
l. Russian insistence that some
of the leaders of the Polish govern
ment-in-exile be ousted in settling
the Polish-Russian boundary dis
2.sStrong Soviet support for Mar
shall Tito, leader OF the Partisan
armies in Yugoslavia.
3. Russian backing for the claim
of the French Committee of Ma
tional Liberation to speak for the
French in civilian affairs.
4. The action of Premier Stain
in signing mutual assistance pact
with Czechoslovakia with the pos
sible understanding the Czech gov
ernment will be given authority to
govern that country's liberated
areas as they are freed
5. Propaganda appeals to Brother
Slavs" in the Balkans to overthrow
those who entered into alliance with
the Axis.
No Showdown" Considered.
While these steps are not neces-
sarily in variance with the general
Allied policy, it is understood the
European Advisory Commission was
established to handle such matters
on co-ordinated basis.
1t should be emphasized that
Britain and the United States are
by no means planning to demand"
a showdown from the Soviets in
their future plans. Rather, they
would like Qualification and unofficial
assurances that the Italian inde-
pendent action will not happen
again.
