Washington, Apr. 4.
President Truman's Greco-Turkish aid bill was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with a surprise amendment authorising the United Nations' cancellation of the programme any time by a simple majority of its Security Council or the General Assembly.
The amendment, which the State Department endorsed in a conciliatory gesture to the United Nations and to Congressional critics who have clamoured that the world organisation was being bypassed, states that the United States will not veto any United Nations order to get out of Greece,or Turkey.
