proposal to increase WPA'a ap
propriation for next year from
f97S.s50.000 to SI, 488, 000,000
and fire it a larger role in de
fense preparations touched off a
lengthy senate debate today
which prevented a final vote en
the S1.123.584.91C relief bill.
Senator Murray (D-Mont) pro
posed the increase, asserting that
WPA could undertake construc
tion of air bases, barrtacks, ware
houses, machine shontand other
buildings necessitated by the de
fense program. '
Senator Bridges (R-NH) asked
lf It would not be wiser to spend
these funds : for national defense
rather "than building some mon
key-house somewhere?"
Murray replied that his amend
ment proposed additional relief
employment on defense projects
and then protested against "peo
ple who malign and misrepresent
WPA."

Congress May Be .
, Kept in Session
(Continued from Page 1.) ,
The question came . up on ithe
house floor today, with Rep.
Treadway (R-Hass) asserting that
Mr. Roosevelt had endeavored to
"run to cover in his recent state
ment and to dispel any Idea that
ho was anxious for congress to
go home.
Mr. Roosevelt had requested the
1 5 9.Q 00,0 00 Red Cross appropria
tion on Tuesday, . saying that it
would express America's sympa
thy with civilian war victims by
a "concrete example of our - in
herent and decent, generosity.
Later ha told a "press conference
that the relief would f-o entirely
to the. Allied countries because it
was impossible to get supplies into
the lands ot, their enemies.

of the. legislatioV the money to
bo spent by. tbe Red Cross or
other agencies to buy supplies in
the. United States. There - wss a
consequent prospect that the ex
penditure would reduce American
surpluses of farm produce.
Senators were chary of com
menting on -the formation of i the
bloc to prevent direct governmen
tal military assistance to the al
lies. But it is known that one
meeting- had already been held, in
the office ot Senator Clark ID
Mo), attended by several senators 1
aad one member of the house.
One of those. who was present,
said that the group would raise
no objection to-selling army and
navy equipment to the allies
through the Intermediary of a pri
vate companyas is being dona
with warmplanes and other Items
but was very , much opposed to
any direct transaction -' on the
around that it would constitute an
act of war. There had been talk.
It waa said, of this fovernment
selling- some of its destroyers to
the allies, r .
- A joint senate-house conference
committee cleared the way today
tor final congressional action on
legislation which would facilitate
Indirect assistance to- France and
Britain. It approved an - amend
ment to an army bill empowering
the war department to "trade in"
surplus military equipment and.
munitions as part payment on new
supplies. The old material, which
is to be turned back to manufac
turers, will become available to
the allies.
- During the dsy the Whits House
said that - Just before President
Roosevelt spoke at Charlottes
ville, Vs.. last1 Monday, pledging
the material resources of the Unit
ed States to the allies. Premier .
Raynaud of France had handed '
the American embassy In Paris aa '
appeal for a pledge of all Ameri
can assistance except troops. The
White House explained, however,
that this wss a coincidence and
that Mr. Roosevelt had not seen
the communication when he deliv
ered his speech
"This coincidence, said Steph
en T. Early, the presides t's secre
tary, "would Indicate that the
president is entirely familiar with
