B-—14 NEUTRALITY LAW AGTION S HINTED Extension of Measure to Curb Trade With Bel- ligerents Seen. BY the Associated Press. A hint that the administration will seek extension of the neutrality law to place broad restrictions on trade with belligerents came today from Chairman McReynolds of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. McReynolds also expressed & per- sonal view that the law should be ex- panded to cover civil wars, such as the conflict in Spain, which threaten o involve other countries. He said he would introduce a meas- ure to give the President discretion- ary authority to place embargoes on shipments of war materials to com- batant nations in excess of “normal peacetime commercial transactions.” ‘The existing law, which expires May 1, provides only for mandatory em- bargoes on arms, ammunition and im- plements of war. Provision Eliminated. ‘The administration sought authority from the last Congress for the Presi- dent to clap embargoes on war ma- terials. McReynolds’ committee ap- proved it, but it was knocked out of the bill on the contention that such & provision would not be neutral dur- ing the Italian-Ethiopian War. ‘There were indications that the pro- vision might encounter more difficul- ties in the next Congress, for Chair- man Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has said he fa- vored continuing the neutrality law virtually in its present form. A neutrality treaty with an article for restriction of trade with belligerent countries was proposed Sunday by the United States delegation to the Inter- American Peace Conference at Buenos Aires. See Potential Threat. Supporters of permissive embargoes on war materials argue that shipments | of goods which might be converted to | war purposes involve & potential threat of dragging this country into | combat. “If we are ever going to get these | embargoes,” McReynolds said, “now is | the time to do it, when no (interna- tional) war is going on.” He said Congress probably would consider also the question of barring armed merchant vessels of combatant nations from American waters. The law now covers submarines only. PENALTY FOR CAMPAIGN FALSEHOODS PLANNED BY the Associated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala., December 10. —Alabama politicjans may have to ‘watch their campaign promises in the future. The Senate passed yesterday the precedent-making Bonner bill which, would penalize with imprisonment officeholders who go back on written campaign pledges. Prohibiting false written campaign statements by candidates for city, county or State office, the measure went through the Upper House by a vote of 21 to 5 with a decisiveness that surprised even Senator J. Miller Bonner of Camden, its author, ‘The bill now goes to the House. -1 i - i il Young Evangelist Describes Travel In 20 Countries America Great Place, Says Alabaman in Lecture Here. A 24-year-old Mobile, Ala., preacher, who recently comnpleted a 60,000-mile evangelistic tour of 20 countries, formed one deep impression from his travels—that America is a great place in which to live. The young minister, Rev. Lester Sumrall, who said he started his long journey “with $12 and a deep faith in God,” is giving a series of lectures on his experiences at Calvary Gospel Church, 1911 H street, speaking each evening of this week and next week at 8 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Sumrall, a member of the Assemblies of God, a Protestant de- nomination, and Rev. Howard Carter, a young London, England, preacher, began their tour a little more than two years ago. Using practically every kind of con- veyance—f{rom airplanes to pack mules—they visited Java, Australia, Japan, China, Russia, Manchuria, Korea and many other countries, con- ducting evangelistic meetings at nearly every stop. He said one reason why he was glad to get back to this country was that everywhere he traveled abroad “every one seems to be preparing for war.” Rev. Sumrall plans to resume his travels in January, and he expects to visit Central and South America, Africa, India, Ceylon, Palestine and Egypt. 0il Diet Soften Fats.

Further public control of private power agencies, extension of publicly- owned systems and a more intensive drive to lower rates are among de- velopments predicted in the utility fleld during the coming four years by Morris L. Cooke, chief of the Rural Electrification Administration. Cooke’s views, expressed in an article appearing in the current issue of the New Republic, use as their “spring- board” a charge that consumers throughout the country were over- charged by more than $400,000,000 during the last 12 months. Criticizing the lack of social atti- tude by leaders of the utility industry, Cooke declares that “price yardsticks” alone are not sufficient regulation, but that such gigantic public under- ~_STUBBORN | RHEUMATISM | Most of the aches, pains, stiffness, | soreness and lameness of stubborn rheumatism, neuritis and rheumatic gout are caused or aggravated by excess uric acid. | This being the case. one outstanding, swift and safe prescription, as any mod- ern drugeist will tell you is Allenru Capsules—little green. easily swallowed fnnxulel that are powerful yet harm- ess.
