Reynolds Demands
Billion Cut in j. ).
Funds for UNRRA
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Reynolds, Democrat,
Of North Carolina demanded to-
day that a billion dollars be
chopped of a pending $780,
100000 authorization for United
States participation in the
United Nations Relief and Re-
Mobilization Administration
I'm bitterly opposed to the meas
ure as it now stands" said Senator
Reynolds, who contends it is direct
invitation for the exercise of power
politics.
Despite total of eight restrictive
amendments offered by Senators
Reynolds. Taft, Republican, Of Ohio
and McKellar, Democrat, Of Ten
nesee, confidence was expressed by
Chairman Connally OF the Foreign
Relations Committee that the legis-
lation could be approved today with
less than dozen votes against It,"
S1,350, ,0O0, 900 "Just the Ante"
Bread is more precious than gold
over there" Senator Reynolds said
land the man with the bread can
put on the pressure. Besides, half
the countries that would be putting
up the money are getting leaSe-lend
which may mean that in the end
we'll really be putting up all the
money.
If you start in with 81 $50 900, 900
that's just the ante.
Russia wouldn't be putting up
anything except her proportionate
share of the administrative expense
Well. who wouldn't furnish car tc
haul home the groceries?"
The bill which the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee laid before the
Senate yesterday is the same as that
approved overwhelmingly last month
by the House, except that it carries
termination date Of June 80, 1916
instead Of two years after the end
of the war.
U. S. Would Put Up 66 Per Cent.
The United States would furnish
about tWo-thirds of the anticipated
total relief fund of $4,000 900 900
Contributing nations would con-
tribute l per cent of their national
income. The United Kingdom al
ready has voted 100000 pounds
about $500 100000 The pending bill
carries no money That would come
later in appropriation measures.
While stressing that Impoverished
nations must not look toward the
United States as year-round Santa
Claus, Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, of Michigan. declared in yes
terday's debate that "UNRRA offers
the wiSest course we can possibly take
as war measure. 1t is just a part
Of the war to take care of the ele-
mentary needs of victims of Axis
tyranny. 1t is for relief and not for
reform"
Senator Gillette, Republican, OF
Iowa, objected, however, that this
county vii. have only one vote on
the UNRRA council while putting UP
two-thirds OF the money, Senator
Gillette cast the only vote against
the resolution in the committee.

Conferees on Ballot
For Servicemen Fail
To Agree on Bill
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

House and Senate conferees dis
cussed their differences over the
use Of State or Federal ballots by
servicemen for nearly two hours
without reaching an agreement to-
day, and recessed until 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
The negotiations got under way
with each group standing 3-to-2 In
support Of the position taken by
their respective branches. and at
noon Representative Rankin, Demo
crat, of Mississippi, said:
Il doubt If any one has changed
his position"
Senator Green. Democrat, OF
Rhode Island, chairman of the con-
ference, said, I'VE had an amicable
discussion" but declined to indicate
whether any specific basis of COM
promise was expored.
Disagreement Expected.
Failure Of the conferees to reach
an agreement at their first meeting
came as no surprise, in view of the
strong division of sentiment in Con-
gress between those who favor and
oppose the authorization of short,
Federal voting form, on which
members of the armed forces could
write in their choice for President,
Senator and Representative.
The House is on record for use of
regular absentee State ballots, COW
ering State as we'll as national tick
cts, while the Senate bill would en-
able servicemen to use either a
State or Federal ballot.
II no compromise is worked out
by the conferees, each group will 20
back to its respective chambers for
instructions, which would result in
another test vote.
Earlier, Senator Green, co-author
OF the administration amendment
battered Federal ballot bill, criticized
the House conferees for their an
nounced opposition to anything be-
yond State-controlled balloting.
House Members Assailed.
Il don't think the conferees of
either the Senate or the House
should take position that they re-
fuse to confer" Senator Green said
and that's what it amounts to-"
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine, one of the Senate Republi-
cans who teamed with Southern
States rights" Democrats against
the Federal ballot, said today he had
War Department assurance that
ballots can be transported by ship
to rs per cent of the overseas armed
forces within one week. The state
ment, he said, demonstrated that
State ballots can be delivered
countering administration claims
that uniform Federal ballot is the
only sure method of guaranteeing
voting privileges to those in uni
form.

President Gives |ckes
Control Of japanese
Relocation Cenfers
By the Associated Press,

President Roosevelt last night
gave Secretary Of Interior Ickes su-
pervision over the War Relocation
Authority, which operates Japanese
relocation centers.
Some members Of Congress have
been critical of the WRA and de-
manded that the relocation centers
be turned over to the War Depart
ment. 1t was understood, however,
that the administration preferred
civilian agency.
The White House announcement
OF the transfer said the shift was
designed to simplify administration
and bring the WRA under supervi-
sion of cabinet officer.
The Authority, which has been an
independent agency, was moved in
its entirety to the jurisdiction of the
Interior Department. Dillon S. Myer
Us its director.
Operates 10 Centers.
WRA operates 10 relocation CEN
tiers for persons Of Japanese ances-
try who were moved from the Pa
ciflc Coast early in 1912.
Nine of the centers are for
evacuees classed as loyal Americans
or law-abiding aliens. One is re-
served for persons whose professed
loyalties are to Japan. The 10 CEN
ters have approximately $4,000 resi-
dents.
The White House statement said
MI. Roosevelt considered the pro-
gram of the War Relocation Au-
thority sound in principle and the
work already accomplished by the
agency highly satisfactory"
The move, it was added, was in
accordance with Mr.. Roosevelts fire.
quenuy expressed belief that the
number of independent agencies Of
the Government should be reduced
when practicable.
Meanwhile, West Coast legislators
considered amending pending
House immigration Committee bill
so as to provide that once -disloyal
Japanese-Americ could be de-
nationalized despite a change Of
heart in the face of mounting Japa-
'nese defeats.
Bill Called Legal Opium"
Many Of the Japanese Americans
had uttered statements protesting
disloyalty to the United States. but
on change in the war picture ex-
pressed a disinclination to be re-
turned to Japan
Representative Leroy Johnson, Re-
publican. of California said the COM
mittee bill, which, in its present
form would permit wartime renun-
citation of citizenship, was mere
legal opium" because it would ap-
ply only to those renunciations made
after the bill became law.
He said the group aligned with
him wanted to make the bill apply
to any one after October, 1910.
Chairman Dickstein Of the Imni-
grafton Committee, opposed the
Johnson amendment, however, as
serting Congress had no constitu-
tional right to deprive citizen Of
his birthright Of citizenship.
In challenging the effectiveness Of
the committee bill, Representative
Engle, Democrat, of California said
5,376 japanese had answered with
an unqualified no" when asked in
Federal questionnaire if they
would swear unqualified allegiance
to the United States and renounce
Japan.
