— Action by Roosevelt For Adjournment in Two Weeks Seen . Reported Desiring Delay In Controversial Financial Programs By the Associated Press Administration lieutenants on Capitol Hill expressed. belief today that President Roosevelt would take active steps to hasten his legislative program and bring about congres- sional adjournment in two weeks. The President, they said, is aware that the defense tax bill constitutes the greatest obstacle to a prompt windup of the session. Seeking to head off time-consum- ing legislation, the Chief Executive was reported by Senator Lee, Dem- ocrat, of Oklahoma to be opposed to submission this summer of Sen- ator Lee's plan to draft private capital in wartime. | Because of Mr. Roosevelt's stand, Benator Lee said he would not seek action on his proposal. Other Sen- ators said the President might sug- gest that further controversial finan- cial programs should be withheld | until the next session. Near End of Labor Act Debate. The House neared the end of de- bate on amendments to the Wagner Labor Act, with both sides agreeing that a restatement of the position of the American Federation of Labor would increase greatly the chances of approving major revisions. President William Green of the A.F. L. sent a letter to Representa- tive Smith, Democrat, of Virginia which said that “taken as a whole,” the 17 amendments sponsored by | Mr. Smith's investigating committee | would help remedy what he called | “excesses and abuses” of the Na-| tional Labor Relations Board. But he expressed opposition to four of the proposals. The letter recalled that the A. F. L. last March 15 declared the Smith amendments “as a whole strike in a destructive way at vital fundamental | principles” of the law A majority of Mr. Smith's com- Mmittee has proposed creation of a new, three-man labor board, separa- | tion of its administrative and | Jjudicial functions, and establish- | ment of certain safeguards for craft unions and employers. | Four Changes Recommended. | ‘The House Labor Committee rec- | ommneded only four changes, one | of which would add two members to the present three-man agency. Mr. Green expressed opposition to Bmith committee amendments to re- define the purposes of the act and the definition of collective bargain- ing. to limit back pay awards to six months, and to require the N. L R. B. to disregard cases where there was a conflict between un which should represent worker: The C. I.

Senator Barkley and his associates | UP DPassengers at Lisbon, Portugal, | scheduled to sail tomorrow nishl‘ * had a fingers-crossed attitude, how- ever, because they said the fast- moving European war might raise new problems here at any time. | Ask Congress Stay in Session. | Senate Republicans vesterday | unanimously approved a resolution urging that Congress remain in ses- | sion for he duration of the emer- | gency.” but their leaders emphasized they would engage in no filibustering tactics to prevent adjournment The House Rules Committee gave legislative right of way to a Senate- approved bill broadening the Hatch | anti-politics law to cover State em- | ployes paid in part with Federal ! money. Even if the House con- siders it, however, it may be dis- posed of in two days. During debate on proposed Wag- her Act amendments yesterday Rep- | Tesentative Smith told the House | that “there is no more dangerous| fifth column” in the Nation 1han‘ . some employes of the board who, he said, were trying to destroy cap- | italism “under the shadow of the Capitol.” He called on the admin- istration to “do somethinng about this situation before it is too late.” Representatives Murdock, Dem- | ocrat, of Utah and Healey, Demo- | crata, of Massachusetts, minority | members of Mr. Smith's committee, argued that this was no time to consider revising labor legislation. | Treading on Sacred Ground. | “We are treading on sacred ground when he kick labor in the face,’ Mr. Murdock said. “Who will we | Jook to to build the battleships, | the planes, the rifles of America? | The man in overalls * * At the outset of the debate Chair- | man Norton of the Labor Commit- | tee appealed to the House to leave! the Wagner Act “unimpaired.” She | said “enemies of labor’ were try-| ing to take from working men “rights which have become an es- | gential part of our philosophy of government ” { Representative Barton, Repub- lican. of New York. expressed oppo- | sition to what he described as the “obstinate resistance” of Govern- ment bureaucrats to criticism and | said that Congress should create a new labor board. Mrs. Norton interrupted to re- mark that the board had been up- held in almost every case by the Su- preme Court Representative Routzohn, Repub- lican, of Ohio said the favorable court record of the board was based on cases involving only procedural matter: Cloudy, continued warm .« . <000l OFF GET A Westinghouse conG-Lire FAN ot Hshed Cootuess TOMMY HOME SANS THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

LONDON, June 7.—The Amer- ican Embassy today urged all Amer- icans without urgent reasons for remaining to return home abeard the liner Washington leaving Gal- way, Ireland, about the middle of June because it said this might be their last opportunity until after the war.

The Embassy warned that those who do not take advantage of this opportunity to leave “must be pre- | pared to remain at their own risk” | s since permits cannot be granted for travel on belligerent ships under United Stgtes law.

His hunting blood aroused, the sentry finally shot the bunny. Immediately the entire guard tumbled out of their beds and prepared to resist an enemy.
