UN NEUTRALITY Ethiopia Born Before Rome Even Row of Mud Huts
Motion To Make Arms
Embargo Mandatory .
By United Press. *
WASHINGTON, Aug 22.—The
House tossed another hazard in-
to the congressional rush toward
adjournment today when its For-
sign Affairs Committee, under
i White' House pressure, ' began
drafting a compromise on neutral-
ity legislation designed -to keep
the United States out of a pos-
sible foreign war.
With threats of war sounding
loudly from Europe, the Senate
passed neutrality legislation yes-
terday, making it mandatory for
; the President to embargo war ma-
terial shipments to belligerents.
The State Department wanted

Engelhardt Raises Question Only
Over Poly High
Dr. N. L. Engelhardt, educa-
tional consultant on the $4,227,
000 school building program, ex-
pects to approve preliminary plans
for three more senior high schools
and a junior-elementary school
before returning to New York,
he said today. ।
The three senior schools are
Polytechnic, North Side and Ar-
lington Heights. The elementary-
junior school is for the Meadow-
brook section.
The only difficulty facing the
School Board now is over the
Polytechnic building. Dr. Engel-
hardt,- who has been here since
Monday, told the board yesterday
be doubted if the character of
building needed for this section
could be built for the $400,000
allotment. No action will be
taken on increasing the allotment
until George Conner, board mem-
