Truman Signs U.S. Aid Bill
American Answer To Red Challenge A Momentous Occasion
Washington, Apr. 3.
President Truman today signed the $6,098,000,000 global aid bill, calling it America's answer to the "challenge facing the free world.” Sitting at his desk in the Oval Room of the White House, President Truman used a dozen pens to put his name on the legislation that will set in motion the greatest programme of economic help over attempted. Within 36 hours, under the direction of the State Department, the project will have its start. It will provide a vast flow of factory and farm goods to 16 nations in Western Europe; mili- tary aid for Greece and Turkey; and a com- bination of economic and military aid for China.
The purpose is to bolster the recovery, of those coun- tries and thus to stop Com- munism and avert chaos,

Intolerable "Half-Way House"
Frankfurt, Apr. 3.
A British Member of Par liament said on Saturday the time has come for the West- ern Allies to ignore Ger- many's Allied Control Coun- cil.
"We must now recognise there are two different worlds and take the

"Germany belongs to the West and we cannot go on waiting," Crossman sald. He urged imme- ciate formation of a German na- |

board blamed Mr. John L. Lewis individually. for causing the walk-out and said that he took action in the form of "communications to the officers and members of the union which induced them to take concerted action to stop work".
