Miss Dorothy Thompson, prominent American newspaper columnist and former foreign correspondent, yesterday urged the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to repeal existing neutrality laws so that the United States may have maximum freedom for military, legislative and diplomatic action in foreign affairs.
