Washington April 18 Congressional foreign policy leaders clash over a proposed neutrality program they say can pass. The plan would renew cash and carry for non military materials, temporarily lapse the current provisions, remove the old law, allow belligerents to buy materials on American soil paid in foreign ships, and push a separate Japan trade restriction bill after neutrality.
