attached to the former Soviet
repatriation mission were expell-
ed from France yesterday. This

Between then and last Tues

Full Amount Asked By
President Given
Okeh

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-tR-
A compromise Foreign Aid Act
of 1947" emerged from a Senate
House conference today authori-
zing the full $597,Oco,0O0 asked
by the administration but allow
ing China to share as demanded
by the House.
The administration had asked
the $597,0O0,000 for stop-com-
munism aid for France, Italy and
Austria, pending consideration of
the long-range Marshall Plan for
European recovery. The Senate
went along but the House cut
the total to $590,00O,OO0 and
marked China in for a share.
The Senate and House bills
then went to the joint confer
ence committees which drafted
the compromise after a long ses-
sion.
1t now goes back to Senate and
House, which are expected to ap-
prove it swiftly. Senator Van
denberg (R-Mich), chairman OF
the Senate Foreign Relations
committee, expressed hope that
both chambers can act Monday,
which would send the bill to
the White House.
President Truman is expected
to sign promptly.
Actual supplies of food, fuel,
clothing and other supplies then
could start moving to western
European because the bill au-
thorizes the Reconstruction FL
nance corporation to advance
$150,000,000 for this purpose.
Vandenberg, spokesman for the
Senate-House conferees, made it
plain that the actual share any
of the four nations receive will
be determined later by an appro-
priations bill.
Major changes made in -on-
ing out Senate-House differences
were outlined in this -:-ay by
Vandenberg:
l. $597, 100000 "is the ceiling on
aid to the four countries"
2. President Truman is direct
ed to retain at least 15o,000,000
bushels of wheat, flour and other
wheat products in this country
as stockpile or "carryover" on
next July l for domestic use,
unless he determines on March
l next that this is not necessary.
This modified somewhat a "car-
ryover" provision inserted by the
house.
3. So-called "anti-communist"
provisions inserted by the House
were eliminated. One barred re-
lief for organizations embracing
communism and the other would
have cut off aid to any nation
dominated by the communist
party or by the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics" Instead a
broad-termed provision allows
the president to cut off aid with

Sends Arms
To Italians
Statement Comes AS Last
OF u. S. Troops
Leave
BY EDWARD E. BOMAR

ny ELL w AMI Z. DONlAN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-(B
On the eve of the withdrawal
of the last American soldiers
from Italy, President Truman
tonight that if that ma
tion's freedom is threatened
directly or indirectly" the Unit
ed States will consider "appro-
pirate" measures.
Without mentioning Commune
ist-led strikes and disorders, the
formal 100-word statement em-
phasized that while the troops
are being withdrawn in accord
ance with treaty obligations, the
United States has by no means
lost its interest "in the preserva-
tion of the peace and indepen-
dence of Italy,"
The statement conceded with
reports which lacked official
confirmation-that this govern
ment is actively considering sup-
plying modern arms to the limit
ed forces permitted to Italy by
the new peace treaty.
Mr.. Truman's statement, pub
lished as a final contingent Of
1000 American troops prepared
to board a homeward bound
transport at Leghorn, said:
although the United States
is withdrawing its troops from
Italy in fulfillment of it's obli-
cations under the treaty of peace.
this country continues its inter-
est in the preservation of the
peace and independence of Italy.
"If in the course of events it
becomes apparent that the free
dom and independence of Italy
on which the peace settlements
is based are being threatened,
directly or indirectly, the United
States as signatory of the
peace treaty and as a member
of the United Nations, will be
obliged to consider what meas
ures would be appropriate for
the maintenance of peace and
security"
The treaty, which went into
effect Sept. Is, following its
ratification by the United States,
Soviet Russia, Britain and
France, calls for withdrawal OF
all allied occupation forces with
in 80 days and the period expires
tomorrow at midnight.
Five thousand American troops
remain, along with British and
Yugoslav forces of the same size,
to safeguard the Free Territory
of Trieste on the Italian -Yugo-
slav border.
1taly's postwar armed forces
are limited to $4,000 men in the
regular army and $4,000 in the
carabinieri, auxiliary force Of
gendarmes. Across the border

Plan Voluntary But Will
Get Teeth If Neces-
sary

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-tH
Senate Republicans today put
forward 10-point anti-inflation
program geared to voluntary ac-
ton in combating rising living
costs, but promised if this does
not work to consider authoriz.
ing government controls.
They pegged their program
to voluntary limitations on indus
trial inventories and voluntary
agreements to parcel out scarce
commodities.
The Republicans called for an
increase in production, a cut in
government spending, reduction
of the public debt, and lower
taxes.
In a statement which Senator
Millikin (Colo) said was approx
ed unanimously by more than
IS COP Senators in a four-hour
session, the Republicansp ledg-
ed action during the special ses.
sion of Congress on three speci'
fic anti-inflation proposals.
All three are included in the
Wolcott bill which is slated to
go before the House Monday.
These include extension of con-
trolls over exports and transpor-
tation, and legislative sanction
for voluntary agreements an. n.ong
businessmen limiting inventories
and authorizing priorities.
In formally recommending
passage of the Wolcott bill, the
House Banking committee pick
ed out quotations from a state
ment by Mr.. Truman last year
to back up a contention that
selective price and wage con-
trolls might lead to "distortions
in production" and "diversion

statement of the Senate Republi-
cans okehed roughly half of the
10-point program put forward
by President Truman in opening
the special session, it made no
move to carry out his request
for standby authority to i'm
pose rationing and price con-
trolls on a compulsory basis.
However, the policy paper
said:
eff it appears that voluntary
controls are inadequate to meet
specific problems, we will con
slider the granting of authority
to meet such particular prob
