Congress Action Hinders Air Corps War Plans
Washington Aug. 5 The failure of Congress to grant the War Department broader powers to buy more than 2,000 planes delays plans to reinforce the air corps. The Senate approved the measure but a single objection blocked final action. Acting Secretary of War Louis Johnson predicted substantial delay but expected an air force of 5,500 planes within two years. Officials said the department would use powers under a 1926 act to award to any of the three lowest bidders in some cases.

Sharp replies hurled at FDR by Bills foes
Washington August 8. Congressional foes of neutrality and lending programs challenged President Roosevelt’s claim of a Republican Democrat coalition risking welfare by blocking bills. Senator Adams said no coalition existed, while Rep. Michener praised independents for blocking. Senator King urged spending as needed for next year. Roosevelt prepared to sign or veto 70 bills after reviewing 145 he examined, warning that a failed neutrality or lending gambit could affect 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 people and curb his ability to prevent war.

Hatch Scoffs at Foes of Measure
Washington August 9 Senator Hale of New Mexico attacked the un American label placed on Hatch s clean politics law by Young Democrats president Maner saying it shows ignorance of or lack of sympathy with party principles. Hatch defended the measure limiting federal employee political activity warning delegates at the Pittsburgh convention could face dismissal. He decried Maner s statement calling the bill un American and defended appointments on merit as longstanding Democratic ideals. Also notes on asparagus fern and alligator pears as an unrelated aside.
