Former Isolationist Now Supports British Aid Bill WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (l'.R Rep. James P. Richards, D., S. C., renouncing what he described as his former isolationist stand on foreign policy, told the house today that it should pass the British aid bill no matter how much the axis powers may dislike it. He said congress would be craven and cowardly to defeat the bill because of a fear that it would make the dictators mad. Rep. John M. Vorys, R., D., opposition speaker, charged the bill would give President Roosevelt power to dispose of the Cerman. Dutch, Norwegian and other foreign ships in our ports. He said under its terms the president also would have authority to lend, lease or give away all American munitions on hand or on order. Leading off the second days house debate, Richards recalled his stand on foreign affairs legislation in previous years, and said he could not he accused of being an He added the lack of anglophile.
