BRITISH AID BILL
COMPROMISE REACHED TENTATIVE AMENDMENT RESTRICTION PLANNED USE OF U.S. FORCES (Elcc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. March 7, 2.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 6. Administration strategists to-day drafted a tentative amendment to the lend-or-lease bill designed to allay fears that the measure would authorise the warlike use of the United States Army and Navy abroad. Administration leaders are reported to have won an important compromise in the aid bill on the highlycontroversial point of the outside use of the United States armed forces. Senator Vandenberg says that Senator Ellender has been persuaded to accept the administration’s compromise version of the Ellender amendment which yesterday threatened to drag out the debate endlessly.
