Hull said in a statement that he was gratified at Congress" action in lifting the arms embargo and added he was satisfied that the new legislation will "greatly assist" in preserving American neutrality. Congress gave its final approval to the repeal legislation yesterday and ended the 44 day special session called to repeal the four year old arms embargo law. Regulates U.S. Ships Over the vigorous protest of a substantial bi-partisan opposition, the Legislature agreed to repeal the ban on arms sales to warring nations but wrote into the bill some of the most stringent regulations of American shipping in the nation's history. The latter were designed to avoid "incidents" and possible subsequent involvement of this country in the European conflict by keeping ships and passengers out of danger zones.

The Senate adopted the final draft of the bill 55 to 24; the House shortly afterward by 243 to 172. The Senate then voted 46 to 25 to adjourn and the House 223 to 189, both ballots being largely along party lines. The session ended formally at p.m. (C. ST.) Mr.

Although the President, in his message convening the special session of Congress Sept.

21, invited Democratic and Republican leaders of both houses to remain in Washington after adjournment to consult with him on foreign policy, none of the leaders could be found who would say definitely he would stay for that purpose.
