Final Vote to Be Talten

; ; to Whip Measure up
Before Saturday r
WASHINGTON. June IHjn-
After a session lasting nearly it
hours, the house Just before mid
night tonight postponed until to
morrow a final vote on the neu
trality revision bill, to which an
arms embargo provision had been
tentatively added.
The arms embargo provision
waa a setback tor the administra
tion which desired to knock such
a section out of the existing neu
trality statute.
The only other Important
changes made by the house In the
administration measure would
give congress as well as the presi
dent, authority to declare that a
state of war -exists and ' would
eliminate a section permitting the
president to prevent American
ships from entering combat tones.
WASHINGTON. June
Negotiators for the senate and
house reached an agreement to
night on a bill carrying some $1,-
700,000,000 for relief for the fis
cal year starting . Saturday, but
declined to divulge any ot Its de
tails Immediately.
Members of the conference com
mittee, which was appointed to
iron out differences between the
two chambers, asserted that they
had pledged themselves not to talk
publicly about their. session until
the conference! report Is sent to
senate and house tor final ratifi
cation tomorrow. .
Conferees Work ;
Against Time ;1f j..- .
The conferees had been work
ing against time so that the bni
could be enacted soon enough to
prevent a suspension ot relief ac
tivities with the exhaustion of cur
rent funds Friday night
Before tonight's session, mem
bers of the conference committee
had conceded that some points of
difference would prove highly con
troversial. The senate, after 14 hours of
debate, had increased by $72,200,-
000 the $1,715,000,000 voted by
the house, making a grand total
ot $1, 202,200,000. The Increases
were for the farm security admin
istration, farm tenancy loans, the
national youth administration and
the public health service.
Senator Adams (D-Colo), chair
man of the senate subcommittee
on .relief appropriations, predicted
that the Increases could be cleared
up by splitting the difference. But
senate amendment requiring
payment of prevailing wages, an
other restoring funds for the fed
eral .theatre project and various
changes In the administration ot
relief might be more difficult of
adjustment Adams said. -
Hoase in Favor
Of 8-Maa Board 5- .
i The house had voted to set up
a three-man, bi-partisan board to
administer relief in-place of the
present one-man board. The sen
ate voted to adhere to one-man
rule. The latter chamber also elim
inated a house - provision - under
which, $126,000,000 of the relief
funds would have been earmarked
for the public works administra
tion. wti r-. f'
,It was generally believed the
two houses would work out some
form ot requirement for local con
tributions to relief. The senate
specified that 25 per cent of all
the money to be . spent In each
state must come from non-federal
sources. . n s. y. i $ , v.
The WPA announced today that
all Its projects would be shut
down from July 1 to July .4, lnelu
sive, because of uncertainties
about ,i the , relief . appropriation.
About: 2,50 0,0 00 workers will be
