Neutral Bloc
To Cut Talks
Showdown Within . Month
Neutrality "Issue
Wanted by All
on
; WASHINGTON. 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.

Slx-yeaivold Maxine Pairing
ton, the "sleeping beauty" of
St. Francis hospital, ended to
night her fourth year in the
end bed in the long row in the
children's ward.
Maxine is asleep, a victim of
encephalitis lethargic (sleep
ing sickness).
Only two years old when
stricken, the child although
she tosses fitfully sometimes
never has awakened since
her parents brought her to the
hospital from their home at
nearby Fairview on September
24, 1033.
Physicians long ago gave up
hope for her recovery. Hospital
attaches say she may live for
years in her deep but not
peaceful sleep or she may die
at any time. .
Reports were current that Dr.
B. F. Pound. Salem, would be
selected as his successor. Pound
is prominent in American Legion
circles and supported Governor
Sprague at the last elections.

Roosevelt's Son
Sees US Peace
FORT WORTH, Tex., Sept. 23.
JPt-Eoi. Roosevelt, son of the
president, in his radio talk today,
saia the united States can remain
out of the European war "by tend
ing to our own business."
In my opinion, the only excuse
any great power ever has for war
is when her vital Interests are
threatened," young Roosevelt
said.
"But these interests must be
vital and the threat must be gen'
nine."

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
