Plense send travel information about Administration Foes In Senate Mass Behind Two Bills Proposal to Stop Silver Purchases Will Be Debated Today By the Associated Press. Following the House pigeonholing of wage-hour amendments, congres- sional action shifts this week to the Senate, where administration leaders are trying to kill two measures: 1. The bill by Senator Townsend, Republican, of Delaware, to end ‘Treasury purchases of foreign silver. 2. A resolution to block President Rodsevelt’s transfer of the Civil Aeronautics Authority to the Com- merce Department. The leadership conceded that it faced tough battles on all the issues, and its opponents were predicting gleefully that an anti-administra- tion coalition of Democrats and Republicans would triumph in one- two-three order. Silver Issue Up Today. The legislation to end foreign silver buying was up for debate THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, MAY 6, 1940 A BOOK EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD READ Pennsylvania Legislature Begins Relief Session By the Associated Press. HARRISBURG, Pa., )lly 6.— Doors of the Pennsylvania legisla- tive halls opened today to the State’s 23d special session, sum- moned by Gov. Arthur H. James to meet a deficit in relief funds esti- mated at more than $100,000,000 for the coming fiscal year. How much the “Republican Gov- ernor will ask for in the current session, and where he will obtain the money, will be disclosed when he speaks to a joint session of the Senate and House at 8 pm. Gov. James has said he will seek “considerably more than 70 mil- lions,” approximately $31,000,000 of which will be taken from the State motor fund to carry on relief grants until January, 1941, when another regular Legislature convenes. Republicans, for the first time in six years, hold a clear majority in both branches of the ‘Legislature. ‘They outnumber the Democrats 27 to 22 in the Senate and 126 to 74 in the House. Fairland P.-T. A. to Meet The Fairland (Md) Parent- Teacher Association will meet at 8 pm, tomorrow at the Fairland School. today, and a final vote was expected tomorrow. At immediate issue was an amendment by Senator Pitt- man, Democrat, of Nevada, to per- mit the continuation of such pur- chases, provided that foreign sell- ers used proceeds from silver sales to buy American farm products. Democratic Leader Barkley said that the suggestion would terminate silver purchases from Latin Amer- ica and would be almost as thorough as Senator Townsend’s original leg- islation in stopping the present program. The usually-cohesive bloc of silver | State Senators was split on the Townsend bill. One opponent of the measure, Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada, said: “The bill would be notice to the | world that we do not look upon silver as money. It would be a step toward the demonetization of silver.” Senator McCarran is leading the | fight against Mr. Rooseyelt’s plan to put the Civil Aeronautics Authority !in the Commerce Department. Both | houses must vote against the trans- fer in order to stop it. Representative Martin of Massa- chusetts, the House minority leader, spoke out last night against the President’s plan, declaring in a state- ment: “I am hopeful that by prompt non-partisan action this week our great civil aviation industry may be spared further disruption and em- barrassment at the hands of politi- cal bureaucrats.” House Considers Minor Bills. The House is considering minor bills. Its Judiciary Committee will decide tomorrow whether to recon- | sider its action in pigeon-holing the Hatch bill banning political activi- ties by State workers paid partly | from Federal funds. | Army and Navy officials, headed | by Secretary of the Navy Edison, | probably will be asked to explain to | two Senate committees this week | what measures have been taken to| overhaul the United States military machine to keep abreast of war de- velopments in Europe. over battleships, may face some | critical questioning when he appears before the Senate Naval Affairs Com- mittee tomorrow. He will testify in behalf of House-approved legislation to expand the Navy by 11 per cent. The House-approved measure, au- thorizing future expenditures of | $655,000,000 to build up the fleet, is | expected to win quick commltue lp- proval. ‘The Serfate Appropriations Suh- committee considering the $785,000,- 000 military supply bill, arranged to hear testimony by Brig.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, May 6.— Arthur Kathner, who said he was born in 8t. Louis, has been sentenced by the Brabant Provincal Military Court to 15 years imprisonment on a charge of spying for Germany. Two Germans were sentenced to like terms with him. Kathner, who was arrested November 29, 1939, was reported to have approached a Belgian who denounced him. Military Judge J. Daliers, who sentenced Kathner, said the man posed as an American, but had no documents to prove it. Kathner gave his birthdate as June 29, 1886. !tflf Mm has such high quality workmanship s low ., . s "a- -mml by ® real power l.oudrr Inyltes eomparison of l other a$ any lowest price oyt smunl serv- price. ot i this portunityl CI.II s Bterling route man rllll FOWl NEW LOW STORAGE PRICES more low prices! its _cleaned and lere Men's suits el red, 'Il] $1.50, Ladies’ ts, ecleaning for » today!

Proven by Research Proven by Time Proven by Millions of Users s YOU CAN HAVE CONFIDENCE IN Ill-llll A AT AN Se i HE nation’s press has greeted - this book as a great political event in itself—the first completely authoritative statement of American foreign policy. Time Magazine last week devoted the entire first half of its National Affairs Section to its publication. It has been discussed in a lead- ing editorial in' The New York Herald Tribune, in Arthur Krock’s column in The New York Times, in Hugh Johnson’s widely syndicated col- umn and over the air by several eminent news commentators. American White Paper has been published for* less than two weeks. In that time it has been prac- tically impossible to keep it in stock. The huge demand is causing a sale of more than 5,000 copies a day. To read it is to take a front row seat in the inner circle of American foreign policy—to sit with Franklin ' Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, Sumner Welles and A. A. Berle, Jr., in their intimate conversa- tions as they guide our destinies in the present world crisis. Time says: “to millions of U. S. citizens who have long clung to the unhistoric legend that U. S. diplomacy has been uniformly unsuccessful and U. S. foreign policy equally non- . existent, American White Paper will come as a great jolt. It is an extraordinary job. Its detail is almost eyewitness in effect.” The great question on everyone’s lips today is “will America go to war?”” American W hite Paper answers it specifically, showing what the men who guidzwdufiniumphmingtodo«iftheAlliu win, if the war looks like a stalemate, or if it ap- pears that Germany will win. As Hugh Johnson says: “Joe Alsop and Bob Kintner have done a swell job. This book renders a vital public service. It turns the secret diplomacy of the State Depart- ment inside out.” It is the sort of inner history which usually stays on ice for twenty years. The authors quote the President directly in intimate conversations, even in two-way phone talks. They give the sub- stance of several of the State Department’s secret and confidential cables and have quoted unpub- lished documents and diaries. They tell for the first time the answers to countless never-before- solved questions such as: 1. What kind of post-war world do our policy makers want—and what price would they pay to get it? 2. What was the real story behind the President’s Munich message to -Hitler? 3. How did Congress defeat the move to repeal the Neutrality Act? 4. Who collaborates on most of Presi- dent Roosevelt’s diplomatic corre- spondence? The headlines on the front page of this news- paper make more sense to those who have Ameri- can White Paper. The entire course of American foreign policy is clearer to them. The reassuring knowledge of what is being done to safeguard every American is known to them. That is why this is a book every American should read. BRENTANOS Book STORES 1322 F STREET NW 3428 Connectlcut Ave. 18_23 Columbia Road
