President Roosevelt re-stated his foreign policy yesterday in four points. No point conflicted with continued co-operation with potential customers for American-made American-made planes so long as they pay cash. Will Be No Change On the contrary, he said there had been no change in his foreign policy and would be none. Chairman Chair-man Key Pittman, D Nev., of the senate foreign relations com-mitte, com-mitte, chosen by the president to convey his press conference remarks re-marks to the senate, subsequently issued a statement which .said that an "equal balancing of military mili-tary power'' in Europe was the only bulwark against world war. Mrs. Roosevelt's newspaper column, "My Day," defended plane sales to France, saying France was a natural customer for American Ameri-can fighting planes because she could produce only 100 craft a month, while Germany was building: build-ing: 1,000. The published statements that he had told senate military affairs af-fairs committeemen the American defense lines now was on the Rhine or in France, Mr. Roosevelt characterized "a deliberate lie."

Further Amendment The other, a bill to remove from the old age assistance laws a clause excluding anyone convicted of a felony within 10 years p&qr to the time of application from assistance, was passed but was held for reconsideration. Representatives voiced little objection ob-jection to the measure but took the opportunity to amend the pension pen-sion laws further. A change was voted designed to prevent old age pensioners from migrating to the warmer southern Utah counties during the winter months and obtaining ob-taining aid there. An amendment proposing reduction of the pension pen-sion age limit from 65 to 55 years was defeated. The senate, which revived three bills to bring its total to more than 200 for the session, killed a pair of bills aimed at injury fraud claimants and "ambulance-chasing!' lawyers by identical votes, 10 favoring the bills and 12 voting vot-ing against them.
