Gillette of Iowa and George of Georgia Both Have Knifed Administration at Times; Committee Vote May Be Decisive
Washington. July 8.-(AP)- The fate of the administration's efforts arms embargo provision of the neutrality act appeared today to rest largely in the hands of two Democrats who often have opposed New Deal legislation.
They are Senators Gillette, of Iowa and George, of Georgia.
Polls of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee indicated, some senators on both sides of the controversy said, that the administration could safely count on only eleven of 23 committee votes for a motion to strike out the modified arms embargo which the House incorporated recently in legislation to change the neutrality act.
Without committee approval, these senators said, there was little chance of the Senate's reversing the House stand, inasmuch as foes of the administration proposal to repeal the arms embargo provision of the present neutrality law said yesterday 34 senators had subscribed to the statement opposing any change to the statute at this time.
