Rebuild Europe

Raiders In Flight

Baramula, Kashmir, Nov.

10. With the weekend rout- ing by Indian Government troops of the main force of 5,000 Northwest Frontier tribesmen who had invaded Kashmir and reached the gates of Srinagar, the capital, fighting is now expected to be no more than organised ban- ditry.

Remnant of the raiders--about 1,300,-were today lo full Might for a bridge at Kobala, 100 miles away, which links Kashmir with Pakistan. Pursuit by Indian Government lenops had been temporarily held up by lack of gasoline.

Itefugees struggling back into Baraipula, 30 miles west of Srinagar, said that the retreating tribesmen took 500 logul husdagys with theiın. after sending out 280 truckloads of plunder.

Brigadier L. P. Sen, of the Indian! Army, said that small pockets, of raiders were still in the country- le but that he thinks the raiders "are now all on the way out."

AID FOR CHINA INDICATED

Washington, Nov. 10.—Mr George Marshall, the United States Secretary of State, today presented to a joint meeting of the Senate and House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committees an estimate for his Western Europe aid plan raising by nearly 15 per cent the dollar aid proposed three days ago by President Truman's Foreign Aid Committee.

Mr Marshall asked for between $16,000,000,000 and $20,000,000,000 to cover the total four-year programme instead of the maximum of $17,000,000,000 The Paris proposed in the report of the Harriman Foreign Aid Committee. Committee for European Economic Co-operation sought $19,310,000,000 to cover Europe's deficit for the four years.

Mr Marshall asked for $597,000,000 stop-gap aid for France, Italy and Austria to cover their needs until April 1, 1948, when the four years of the Marshall plan proper will start.
