WHEN the original neutrality bill was up for vote, Oregon's Char ley McNary gathered his little flock of republicans Into the minority com mittee room, where six-foot chan deliers with thousands of prisms, are suspended from the lofty celling Identical with the famed chandeliers In White House east room. There, with their Images reflected In ten-foot mirrors, the republicans agreed to support the bill, guaran teed to keep America at peace with the rest of the world.

(UP) Great Britain and Franco would be in clined to accept mediation by Presi dent Roosevelt only on the basis of restoration of Polish and Czecho slovak Independence and cast-iron guarantee against future aggression In Europe, it was indicated tonight In responsible quarters. With the government of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain under stood to be exchanging views with France, there was a belief in British circles that any feasible proposals would have to go far beyond the terms indicated in Adolf Hitler's relchstag speech. WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. ( AP) A strong wave of sentiment developed In the senate today for President Roosevelt to step Into the role of peacemaker In Europe. Senators on both sides of the neutrality controversy expressed the opinion that the chief executive should take advantage of any clear opportunity afforded, by overtures European war. Administration quarters, however, remained silent. Secretary Hull de clined comment on the dispatches from Berlin indicating that Chan cellor Hitler would welcome a move by Mr. Roosevelt to effect a Euro pean settlement. At Hyde Park, N. Y., Mr. Roosevelt sent word to reporters that he had nothing to say. It was pointed out in authorita tive circles that this government has consistently taken the position that It was ready and willing to neip Europe reach a general understanding on economic and disarmament ques tions, but had no Intention of being drawn into Its political disputes. Berlin willing Senate comment on the Berlin dispatches, almost without exception. was to the effect that there was no reason why Mr. Roosevelt should not endeavor to effect a peace and every reason why he should. Senator Johnson (D., Colo.), de clared that It would be "a great honor for the president to mediate the European war." Senator Wheeler (D.. Mont.) told reporters that the president "has the greatest opportunity of any American president in history to serve human ity and bring about a permanent peace in Europe." Chairman Plttman (D., Nev.) of the senate foreign relations commit tee voiced the opinion that the president would not hesitate to act "on appropriate suggestions." Declaring he had not consulted the White House, Plttman added that It would be "too much responsibility" for the chief executive to undertake the formal role of mediator or arbi trator. So "Great Mistake" Senator McCarran (D., Nev.) urged caution against a repetition of what he said was the "great mistake" that Wood row Wilson made In taking an active part In the Versailles peace conference.

Y., Oct, 7. (P) While the world looked to this quiet Hudson valley village today for any sign that President Roosevelt might propose an armistice In the European war, the chief executive let reporters know he had no comment and then went out to look over the trees on hla country estate. . He kept In close touch with Wash ington officials, however, and the result of one telephone conversation was Announcement that a third for eign submarine had been seen In American waters some IS miles from Miami, F1&. Its Identity and the manner In which It was sighted was not disclosed. William Hassctt. a presidential aide, discussed with Mr. Roosevelt the Berlin reports, and then told reporters: "The president has specifically au thorized me to say he will net have any comment on the dispatches from Berlin. There Is nothing to say." Of the submarine, Hassett said only that the president had author ized him to disclose the presence of the undersea ship In line with a policy of reporting the sighting of foreign warships In waters adjacent to the United States. At s press conference last month. Mr. Roosevelt told of the sighting of a foreign submarine off Boston and another near southern Alaska. At that time the maritime commis sion advised American ships of their presence and presumably this was done with reference to the craft near Miami. GIVEN TO NATION WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.
