Washington, June 6.
By 19 votes to 2 the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday rejected the motion submitted by Sena-for Claude Pepper, Democrat from Florida, which authorized the sale to the Allies of planes and war materia: belonging to the United States army and navy.
Besides Senator Pepper, Senator Joseph F. Guffey, Democrat from Pennsylvania, was the only one to vote for the motion.
After the meeting of the Committee, Senator Pepper told press representatives that he would raise a debate in the Senate on his motion. The members of the Committee, he added, did not seem eager to save Paris or London by immediately sending 500 planes to the Allies.
The Senator specified that he had asked for the shipment of war mater-al and other assistance to the Allies on the sole condition that the United States do not enter the war.
He cited the United States code authorizing the transfer of war material belonging to the army to private citizens who could do what they wanted with it—Havas.
