Septz3-aV Opponents of the administration's neutrality, program " made over tures, to the senate leadership to day for an agreement -which might bring . a showdown on the con troversial Issue within a month. t . Senators opposed to repeal of the arms embargo agreed that they would hold their speechmak- lns to "reasonable lengths" if ad ministration followers would agree" not to employ "pressure methods. ! If such an arrangement could he- worked out, one opposition leader predicted a vote within a month. Under the agreement, this senator said, the opposition would be given four or five days to pre pare its case after the bill is re ported by the senate foreign re lations committee and no night senate sessions would be held. In return, the. opposition would agree, not to obstruct action in the foreign relations committee or to Inject extraneous matter into the senate debate. i i Borah Okehs Move Members of the group said they would put their proposition before Majority Leader Barkley (D-Ky). SenatorABorah (R-Idaho) said this procejiare was agreeable to him. i; "So far as I know and I feel that I do know," Borah said. "those opposing repeal of the arms embargo want an oppor tunity to present the question fully and without pressure. "We have no intention of tak Ing advantage of the rules of the senate to delay matters or to talk on Irrelevant subjects. All must agree that it Is a matter of tre- . mendous moment and in so far as our ability will permit,' we want and intend to debate it as its im portance warrants." It was apparent, however, that there would be no lessening in- the intensity of the battle, even If there should be some reduction In its prospective length.

Britons Feel War Grip As Gasoline Rationed By J. C. STARE LONDON. Sept. 23- .(AP) The war reduced Great Britain tonight to a nation of "stay at homes." : Travel was greatly restricted by a new wartime scheme of gasoline rationing; nightly blackouts already had reduced the number of places to go. The first of the government's rationing plans put into eneci too a thousands oi automo- o biles off the highways. Food rationing will follow af ter a national registration next Friday. Housewives already were com plaining at their inability to pur chase some food commodities. The food ministry said this was due mainly , to transport problems, and to remedy them and to pre vent excessive price increases the government planned to put food rationing into effect as soon as possible after completion of the national register A sort of war time census. The gasoline rationing, limited the supply for a private automo bile to that sufficient for an aver age of less than seven miles a day, had an immediate effect in both city and countryside. War on Home Front London, never a busy place on Saturday, was even more deserted, with some of the normally busiest streets almost without traffic. The war, three weeks old to morrow, continued to be fought mainly on the home front Already feeling the pinch of war, the public looked forward to more unpleasantness the coming week. Sir John Simon, chancellor of the exchequer, planned to an nounce his war budget on Wed nesday and all expected a further boost in, the income tax some guess es much as a shilling (20 cents) on the pound (4.00) or a total of six shillings six pence ($1.30.) That would mean British taxpay ers would pay 32.5 per cent, or nearly one third of their income, in Income tax. Many questions from members of commons about the war faced ministers during the week. They ranged from one address to Prime Minister Chamberlain on whether a proposal for a United States of Europe might be embod ied in any British peace terms to another about windows of the war office Itself showing too much Danzig Welcomes der Fuehrer Sidelight oa Inhuman warfare is portrayed in this radiopboto r leased by Polish and British censors showing youth, blind ed by an exploding bomb; being led to a hospital through Wa saw's debris-filled streets.
