SENATE APPROVES BILL

Army Observers See Increasing

Signs 0f Drive Nazi Troop micentrations

Face West Front From Italy To Denmark.

(By H. Taylor Henry, Associated Press Staff Writer)

PARIS, Oct. 27—-(AP)—Clashes of increasing inten- sity between German and French combat patrols were re-

tit-ted tonight on the western front between the Rhine and the Moselle Rivers.

Reports from the front said the Germans were strengthening their patrol action, said to be passing from a preliminary reconnaissance phase, in which groups of four or five scouts were used, to action involving combat pillflllS of about 50 men. The fighting was about equally divided between French and German soil and carried on in bitter cold weather.

The night communique told of increasing activity of advance guards in contact along the 100-mile front and added that artillery fire from both sides was increasing. - The German patrols were said

British Comment 0n Senate Move

LONDON, Oct. 2B-—(S11turd'11.')—- Brit-lsh official circles declined to comment today on the Untied States Senate's vote to repeal the arms embargo. They suggested that any such FGTWHOII would be prema- ture before the issue had been de- cided in the House of Representin- tlves,

Unofflcialy. horvovcr. it was stat- ed in dinlomribc circles that Great Br‘t:itn "at 1P1? iruutd not be dis- isatlsfled with the Senates decis- on"

‘The Daily Mail said‘-

"Io cannot now be concealed that the prospect of such a vast war storehouse as America offers comes as a tonic encouragement to the nations flgthting the cause of democ- racy."

Under headlines reading “U. S. To Sell Arms To Allies", the Daily Exnres: said editorially:-

“This big Roosevelt victory means that 300 planes will leave for Eng- land next- week. It wis a sir-lashing victory for President Roosevelt, a smashing blow to Germany.

"Another vote in the Home of Hepresentatives—which is expected to izive a similar verdict next week at the latest-mean: t-htit 300 plane; crated for shipment or tuned up for flying will be free to move m- ward air bases in Britain and France. It means. too. that Amer- ican factories will be able to go a- head with new orders understood to have been placed hv the‘ Allies for 6,000 warplanes and 1,000 sub- marine chssers."

Neutrality Act _ Passed By 63-30 Vote La_s_t Night

Administration Forces See House Adopting Bill By Safe Majority-Will Permitf Arms Shipments To Allies.

(By Richard L. Turner, Associated Press Staff Writer? 1 _ WASHINGTON, Oct. 27-—(AI’)-—Voting overwhelm- ingly to repeal the arms embargo, the United States Sen- ate tonight approved the administration neutrality bill and sent it on to the House of Representatives where pro- ponents of the measure claim a small but safe majority.

The 6340-30 vote was the climax of four weeks’ debate and a discussion which has raged throughout the country since war broke out.

The bill would permit the European belligerent-i to buy United States products of any kind, with the restric- tion that in general they must pay cash, may borrow no" money here, and must provide foreign ships for transport- ing their purchases across the Atlantic.

(The bill generally is considered as aiding the Allies owing to Great Britain's control of the Atlantic Ocean by the Royal Navy.) ‘
