WHITEAWAY'S

Attempt To Force Legislation ROOSEVELT MAY FIGHT DECISION

WASHINGTON, July 12. ADMINISTRATION officials to-day indicat-

ed that President Roosevelt may employ a special message, probably in very strong terms, to renew the fight for enactment of neutrality legislation this session of Congress.

Administration leaders are holding many con- ferences, attempting to gauge the chances of reviving the Bill.

The Secretary of State, Mr. President Cordell Hull, and

Roosevelt met to-day, presum- ably to study the situation.

However, neither would ke any comment. Other congressional strateglats niso remain silent.

A White House source said that) Mr. Roosevelt is exploring every possible means to revive the measure this session. Administration officials are making efforts to persunde Senators Georgo, and Gillette to abandon their opposition and thus)

permit the Foreign Relations Com mittee to reverse its vote.
