THREAT OF CUTS Monte Cristo Loves Again!

Washington, Mar, 5,

The French Cabinet crisis was causing heavy reverberations in Congress tonight as President Truman prepared to ask for $7,900,000,000 more to send overseas as defence and economic aid, mostly to Europe.

Mr Truman is to send a special message on this subject to Congress tomorrow.

It will arrive at a moment when there must be discontent with the wartime rates of taxation loaded upon the American people recently and the huge Gov- ernmental deficit.

Many Congressmen are threatening to

cut

the

foreign aid project sharply. Controversy

The fall of the Faure Goy-

ernment over the issue of how to raise money for the French contribution

to

mutual defence furnished a focal point for Congres- sional complaints.
