Foster, chairman of the American communist party, told the Dies committee with vehemence today that the "Soviet union is not cooperating with the Nazis." "The Soviet union has stopped Hitler in the east and has smashed the Fascist axis," Foster declared after committee members had referred several times to "the new Communist- Nazi alliance."

Still See Big Majority Criticism of the administration neutrality bill came unexpectedly from a few senators who have approved its a i principle--repeal of the arms embargo. Sponsors of the 'measure were confident, however, that a majority of the senate favored it. They predicted that passage would come withn three weeks after the start of debate'Mon- day.

The senate foreign relations committee approved the legislation ,16 to. 7 yesterday, but arranged another meeting today to act finally on the wording of various amendments. Besides carrying out President Roosevelt's recommendation that belligerents be permitted to purchase arms, munitions and implements of war in the United States, major provisions of the bill would: 1. Limit credit to belligerent governments on all purchases in this country to 90 days. There would be no restriction on credits allowed to private citizens and companies of belligerent tions, but the munitions control board would advise congress, every six months regarding the nature and extent of these, and congress could restrict them if it deemed advisable.

2. Require belligerents to take title to all goods purchased in this country and carry them home in their own or other non- American shjps. 3. Permit the president to designate "combat areas" in which American citizens and ships could not travel. Senator Taft (R-Ohio), a supporter of the embargo repeal, told reporters, that the credit restrictions should apply to individuals residing in belligerent countries as well as to belligerent governments.

"Under this bill," he said "there would be no reason why a privately owned munitions company could not buy all the it wanted on whatever terms it could get." Taft also criticized provisions which would prevent American vessels from, carrying cargoes or passengers to such territories of belligerents as New Zealand and Australia.

ND DEARTH OF NEXT ELECTION (Continued from page 1) Pehdergast" vote that's going to count next year- Legislature Didn't Help Whether they're right or wrong makes no particular difference now. It's an argument that can't be settled until" the votes are counted next August anyway. The immediate point is that the ill tidings visited upon the Pendergast organization have been a trumpet call to office for many machine antagonists.

The thing that makes the field so large is the fact that many state offices now are held by men who moved into the capitol as Pendergast friends, and ch draw his quota of me talking candidates." jAnother contributing factor was this year's legislature. A strife-torn affair, it provided an ideal stage for individual politics. Names bobbed into news almost daily. No small portion of the potential candidates are members of the assembly who believe their records in the last session justify a statewide bid for votes. Significant, of course, is the fact that most of today's politics is talk.

Few men actually have gone so far as to announce for office--Gov. Lloyd C. Stark for the senate and Rep. John Taylor for attorney general are examples in exception. This lack of formal announcement probably indicates that much of the current talk--such as friends want me to run but I can't make up my the nature of trial balloons.

Undoubtedly the campaign currents will rhiss some of these excursions. You can expect most of that type to be struck to the group early.
