Aid Measure Sure To Pass

WASH NGTON, CP) The ad- n2inistration's Greek-Turkish aid program emerged unscatched to- day from its baptism of fire on the House floor.
 Its supporters are weary but confident that they have the votes 10 ward off continuing attacks upon the measure designed to bol- ster the two Mediterranean coun- tries against Communistic pres Sures.
 Their confidence was due to be put to the test today on several majo" amendments. Whether a vote on final passage would come before nightfall was in doubt.
 But behind the bill was one at tempt to kill it outright-a move which went down to defeat by a standing vote of 127 to 37.
 Rejected, also, were two pre- liplinary attempts to give the United Nations a say on southeast ern Europe's problems.
 Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas D.-CalifD sought unsuccessfully to postpone any aid for Turkey for a year to give the U. N. a chance to look into the situation
 Rep. JavitS R.-N. Y.O tried in vain to have Congress instruct President Truman to lay the Greek Turkish problem before the U. N while carrying out the assistance contemplated in the bill.
 The House similarly turned thumbs down on Mrs. Douglas demand that it write into the mea- sure a specific prohibition against sending either Turkey or Greece atomic weapons or secrets. Op- ponents of that ban said existing law already prohibits any such action.
 The House was still arguing the merits of limiting the size of mil itary missions to be sent to the two countries. Rep. Mundt CR.- s. D., proposed a maximum of 100; Rep. Judd R.-MinnD, coun- tered with a proposed 200 ceiling.
