Hull Intensifies Push For Lease-Lend Bill In Senate Hearing
Washington January 27 Secretary Hull presented the administration case for the lease lend bill to the Senate Foreign Affairs committee amid reports of cautious support from several doubtful members. In secret testimony he denied that the measure would draw the U S into war and said American aid helped England. Senator Nye opposed the idea saying the testimony would not sway votes. President Roosevelt planned a briefing with eight congressional leaders that evening to discuss possible amendments.

First of Principal Personal Envoy Appropriation Bills Is to Appear Today
The first major appropriation bill for state departments and elective offices is set to be introduced in the House of Representatives this morning, ahead of prior schedules. Rep. James J. Dougherty of Powell County, chairing the appropriations committee, announced the measure and said final drafting would be completed tonight for a morning introduction. The House convenes at 11 o'clock. The committee chair indicated substantial cuts from department requests, though the exact total remains undecided. This early introduction is record-breaking for the session. The 22nd legislative day featured a busy House, with subcommittees interviewing department heads and compiling prior expenditures. H. B. 10 passed unanimously in committee, placing all revenues into the general fund for appropriation. A similar measure previously passed the House but stalled in the Senate two years ago. The bill's fate in the Senate is expected to be routine. Governor Sam C. Yord had urged passage in his message. The afternoon session also included two notices related to appropriation actions.

Sen. Wheeler of Montana claimed officials told him that five sixths of 1940 US combat planes were sent to England and other nations without enacted lend lease. He warned the bill would allow any nation access to US military assets and secrets, while naval strength lags and planes lack modern features. The American coalition met in convention to coordinate patriotic civic and fraternal groups.
