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

consequences,' Richard Crossmi, Labour member for Coventry told a Frankfurt press conterence. The prosent hak- way house is intolerable."

John L. Lewis Blamed

For Walk-Out

Washington, Ápr. 3. President Truman today directed the Attorney General, Mr. Tom Clark, to seek a court order. under the Taft-Hartley Labour Act to end the threa-wcoks' old soft coal strike. President Truman also released the report of his fact- finding board on the dispute.

The

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".

It was much the same before the 1947 venture, a full year's planning being one of the best guarantees of Its success.
