Rivers, Harbors Bills and
TVA Amendments Also
Signed Into Law
BY FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON — (#) — A big
stack of fresh New Deal laws was
left at the capital by President
Roosevelt Saturday night as Hhe
turned homeward for a brief rest
before traveling to the Pacific
coast.
In a final busy day—ending one
of the busiest months of the year
—he signed the last three major
'measures enacted by congress that
' had not already received hig formal
'appmval. The day’s highlights was
his signature of the neutrality le
gislation with its temporary .but
mandatory arms embargo.
Tells of Purpose
Mr. Roosevelt commented on its
purpose—“to avoid any action
which might involve us in war’—
was ‘“wholly excellent.”” But he
projected a need for further legis
llative action lest the inflexible arms
embargo “might drag us into war
!instead of keeping us out.” ;
| Other bills added to the law
ihooks by Mr. Roosevelt’s signature
{inc!uded a $610,000,000 rivers and
lharbors bill and the amendments
to the Tennessee Valley Authority
act. Designed to bolster that law
against court challenges, the TVA
measure was gigned in the pres
,ence of Senator Norris, Republi
can, Nebraska, father of the ori
| ginal law.
| + Bill Signing Finished
. This finished the bill-signing for:
itho day. A sizeable stack—most
1y private measures—were packed
away in the presidential luggage
marked for Hyde Park, N. Y., con
cededly, many will be vetoed.
Before Mr. Roosevelt left the
city, the constitutionality of a law
signed only Friday was challeng
ed. Suit was filed in the District
of Columbia superior court ques
tioning the wvalidity of the Guffey
coal stabilization bill.
The presiden{ was accompanied
on his Hyde Park trip ldte Satur
day night by a secretarial staff. As
usual an office will be established
in nearby Poughkeepsie with wires
open to the White House.
