Washington July 14 AP The Senate Foreign Relations Committee under Chairman Pittman moved toward approval of a resolution to ban shipments of war supplies to Japan, facing opposition from isolationists who want thorough debate. President Roosevelt pressed neutrality options as Pittman warned the subject is dead for the committee. The session also saw social security act revisions advance, a Neely bill on movie block booking, and a library for Roosevelt’s papers at Hyde Park. Debate over amity treaty and Nine Power Pact questions loomed as Hull’s testimony potential.
