 The chief executive flew back to Washington last night after a three-day goodwill mission to Mexico and a stop off at Baylor university to tell this country that i've have reached a turning point in history"
 Tomorrow the chief executive leaves for l5-day Caribbean cruise.
 But immediately ahead lies the problem of Greece and the three choices the plight of that country leaves for the United States:
 CD Direct intervention with money and materials to safeguard Shaky European countries resist ing Communistic pressure; CD a half way course of supplying re- lief on the basis of non-interper- ence in their internal affairs, or (0 withdrawal to a policy of strict non-intervention.
 Congress was clearly awaiting the Administrations statement, which secretary of state Marshall said only MT. Truman could make because of the "transcendent" problem involved.
 Just when the President would speak out was not clear. Some lawmakers said they looked for action before MT. Truman leaves again tomorrow.
 Meanwhile, tentative battle lines were beginning to form an Capitol Hill.

 The Senate kills Rep. Anita Gar hicks R.-1SO bill. Practically the only thing left before it was shelved was the ban on persons under eighteen years of age being employed underground or in pool rooms.
 The House passes its own bill relating to the sale and manufac- ture of liquor by changing the method for approval of liquor ap- pliCations by voters, meaning qualified voters living in the vot- ing precinct, would be considered on petitions for licenses rather than persons residing within a ra- dius of two miles as at present.
