Aid Bill Advances in House Foreign Affairs Committee
The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved the administration British aid bill and prepared for floor debate likely Monday. A proposed $2 billion spending cap was defeated, with the panel also voting down a ban on naval escorts for cargo convoys and approving a two year clause allowing pre existing contracts to continue. The panel clashed over consultation with military leaders on transfers and deliveries, while reports from the Eritrean and Ethiopian fronts indicated continued Allied operations against Italian forces in Africa and a British aim to crack Italy's colonial grip before German intervention. Also noted were RAF actions near the Suez, Greek offensives near Klisura, and Luftwaffe and British raids across Europe, with London reporting several air raid alarms and damage but no fatalities in some instances. Dutch Mantell, a prominent Southwest sports promoter, remained in poor condition after a recent operation and rehospitalization.
