Washington, Oet. 6 —The senate
leadership decided today to take ad-
vantage of a republican parliamen-
tary maneuver and force a test vote
next week on the administration neu-
trality bill.
After a series of cloakroom con-
ferences, administration lieutenants
said they had agreedd tentatively to
demand a vote Monday on a motion
by Senator Tobey (B-N.H.) to send
the bill back to the foreign rela-
tions committee. They were confident
they could defeat the motion.
Tobey has suggested that the com-
mittee should split the bill into two
parts—one carrying out President
Roosevelt’s recommendation for re-
peal of the present arms embargo
and the other embodying restric-
tions on American shipping and trav-
el to belligerent sones.
Tobey contends congress should act
quickly on the second part, in order
to keep America out of trouble, and
discuss the first part later.
After checking on sentiment
Tobey s motion,

IROQUOIS WILL BE SAFE
AS IT FINISHES TRIP
Hyde Park, N. Y., Oct. 6.—Persons
in Close touch with the White House
suggested tonight that the American
steamer Iroquois would be one of the
safest vessels plying the Atlantic as
n result of publication of a German
tip that .she would be sunk and en-
suing provisions for her protection by
United States warships. , ’
Naval vessels and a coast fuard
cutter were sent speeding to the Iro-
quois, now three days out of Ire-
land after the government received
the German warning,
plication that England

with its im- '

would sink her as she and her' 584
Ameican passengers approached the
United States coast.
White House officials said Presi-
dent Roosevelt had received no defi-
nite reports on the Iroquois today
and that it seemed safe to assume
that “no news is good news.” They
said that the radio on the ship, a
coastwise liner recruited by the gov-
ernment to bring home . stranded
Americans, doubtless was being kept
silent.
The President intimated at a press
conference today that it might be
some time before there would be
any further official word about the
Iroquois. ,
Asked at the press conference whe-
ther the fact that warships hsd been
sent to conduct the Iroquois home
meant that the government con-
sidered the German warning true,
Mr. Roosevelt said he had nothing
to add to an official statement re-
leased at the White House in Wash-
ington yesterday. > ’ *

The Lampe sas Badgers won their
first conference game 2-0 on pene-
trations Friday .night when they play-
ed Richland Springs Coyotes to a
scoreless tie.
The two teams were very evenly
matched, and both fought a hard
game. The Badgers threatened in the
first quarter on their aerial attack
and again In the closing minutes of
the game with a ground attack. The
Badgers played a strong defonlvse
game, but their offense bogged down
at times. The Coyotes led in first
downs 8-5.
Outstanding in the line were Hens-
ley, Hendrix and Terry, while in the
backfield Waldrop, Creekmore and
Prescott showed up well. s
The Badgers will play their second
conference game next Friday night
when they meet the Llano -Yellow
Jackets on Badger Field. With one
conference victory marked up for
them, the Badgers will, .in all prob-
ability, be in fine spirits to win from
Llano. \
Scores of other teams in this dis-
trict this wek-end are:
Goldthwaite 0—Methodist
(Waco) 0
Mason 27—Menard 0
Fredericksburg 26—Rochelle 0.

The Amerifan Legion met Friday
night for the purpose of transacting
business and electing officers for
next year.
The following officers were elected:
Charles Waehendorfer, poet comman-
der; Oscar Jackson, W. D. Florence
and Clyde Hetherly, vice commanders;
A. W. Bales, adjutant; Albert Culver,
finance; Sum Dickens, chaplain; C. I.
LaBounty, historian; Kyle Oliver,
service officer; Luther Riee, child
welfare; and Pelham Wolf, sergeant-
at-arms.
. Committees were appointed for a
membership drive. This is the twenty-
' fifth anniversary of the' American
Legion and they plan to have the
, greatest membership possible In view
of the fact that patriotism in the
United States should be at its high-
est point. No one is better able to
; appreciate and enjoy a free govern-
ment than tha ex-soldiers. A commit-
tee was also appointed to investigate
and submit to the organization a
plan for acquiring or building a
permanent home which can be used
not only for the Legion itself, but
also for the Ladies Auxiliary.
Some discussion was entered into
relative to forming «a club or society
for the children of World War vet-
erans, m which they would be taught
patriotism and love for the United
States government.
All members who join before No-
vember 11 will be given a ribbon sig-
nifying their interest in Legion ac-
tivities. '

LAMPASAS, TEXAS, OCTOBER 7, 1939.
for
strategists for the
it plain they
would prefer that the senate delay
action on it indefinitely. They said,
it was certain to be defeated and
that its defeat would be regarded as
a celar-cut victory for the admin-
istration.
They were handicapped, however,
by the fact that the motion is priv-
ileged and ma ybe called up for ac-
tion by any member of the senate.
A “gentleman’s agreement” be-
tween Tobey and Majority Leader
Berkley (D-Ky.) would permit a
vote on the motion Monday. Ad-
ministration senators indicated they
would call for a vote If the opposi-
tion failed to do so.
Washington, Oct. 6.—President
Roosevelt was represented in inform-
ed quarters Fridry night as unlikely
to nroDose an armistice unless he had
official assurances in advance from
Great Britain and France that it
would be accepted.
They indicated that the President
would not lend himself to any move
by Chancellor Hitler which would
have the effect of throwing the onus
of continuance of the war on Brit-
ain <nd France. ,
The readiness of Germany to ac-
cept a proposal nf armistice if it
came from President Roosevelt was
received here with some surprise in
view of the reaction from Chancel-
lor Hitler vo the President’s pre-
vious appeals for peace.
In one year Roosevelt sent five
appeals to Hitler and only the first
and the last were answered through
diplomatic channels.
The third appeal, in which the
President offered himself last April
as a transmitting agent for nonag-
gression pledges between Germany’
and a numoer of European and Asia-
tic nations, was rejected by Hitler
in a bitter public speech.
Moreover, it was pointed out, the ,
German press and some officials had
not been restrained In their utter-
ances against the President and the
Administration. They accused the
President of war-mongering, alarm-
ism, and un-neutrality. When the
German charge d’affaires protested
last year against a speech by Secre-
tary Ickes, his protest was rejected
by Sumner Wells, undersecretary of
state, on the grounds, among others,
that tne government-controlled
man press was excoriating
American Government.

Waahngton, Oct. 6.—Chairman Mar-
tain Dies (Dem.) of Texas announc-
ed Friday night that a document
disclosing Communist activities In the
Washington Navy Yard, the Govern-
ment Printing Office and other fed-
eral departments here had been seiz-
ed by the House committee on un-
American activities. *
Dies described the document as a
report made to a higher-up by Mar-
tin Chancey, secretary of the Com-
munist party in the District of Co-
lumbia. The committee questioned
Chancey for several hours behind
closed doors.
“This seven or eight-page report,
which Chancey identified as genu-
ine," Dies said, “tells of the activi-
ties of the Communist party in the
Navy Yard, the GPO and other de-
partments.’’
The Texan declined to elaborate on
that description other than to say it
contained a name which is very im-
portant ip linking various front or-
ganizations in Washington with Com-
on uniats.
He said the committee hoped to be
able to make tne report public Sat-
urday.
Earlier, a forrher German-Ameri-
can Builder member told the Dies
committee that the bund at Loa An-
geles had plana for paralyzing the
Pacific Coast by sabotage in event of
a conflict between this country and
Germany.
Neil Howard Ness, the witness,
said the plana called for the destruc-
tion of docks, waterworks, power
plants and aircraft factories by bund
members scattered through the
coast’s key industries.
Throughout his testimony, Ness was
quite emphatic in declaring the bund
was an arm of the Nazi government.
Bund members, he said,
loyal to Adolf Hitler than
United States.
He went on to relate that he had
