ERP Cut Compromise
Discussed in Senate;
Vandenberg Opposed
Accord on House Slash
Studied With Return
To 12-Month Bosis
By the Associated Press

A compromise putting foreign
aid back on a 12-month basis
was discussed today as opposing
Senators fought a new battle
over House slashes in the Euro
pean Recovery Program.
The House cut 100000 in
cash off foreign aid funds last week
and slowed the proposed outlay an
estimated s500,0O0,000 more by Or
dering the money stretched out
over Is months.
Some Senators discussed the pos
sibility of making the $4,000, ,000,-
900 the House allowed for Is months
of European recovery operations ap-
ply to IL months instead. The ad-
ministration had asked for $4,245,-
100000 for the year, plus $685.

Vandenberg Wants Full Sum.
But there we're indications that
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, taking command of the
fight, for the full fund, has no idea
of compromising on smaller
amount if he can help it.
Senator Vandenberg, who will tes-
tify before the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee Wednesday, is ex-
pected to contend that this country
is likely to lose the cold war against
Communism in Europe if Congress
fails to vote the full amount 1t
authorized in setting up the re-
covery program two months ago.

occupation and other costs in Ger

Civil Rights Plan
For Draft, 67-7
Loneer's Amendment
Tabled After Gurney
Calls for Rejection
By Robert K. Welsh

The Senate voted, 81 to 7, to-
day to table an amendment by
Senator LANCER. Republican, of
North Dakota, barring racial
segregation and discrimination
in the armed services under the
pending draft measure.
This was the first test vote on a
series of similar amendments by
which the North Dakota Senator
hoped to add President Truman's
civil rights legislative proposals to
the bill now being debated for re-
vival of selective service to draft
men of 10 through Is years of age.
The amendment was tabled after
Chairman Gurney of the Senate
Armed Services Committee told the
Senate enactment of draft legisla-
ton was so necessary at this time
it should not be delayed or COM
plicated by a discussion of civil
rights legislation.
He added that his committee be-
lieved that civil rights bills must
stand on their own feet and are not
germane to this draft bill"
Confronted With Filibuster.
The vote thus was not a direct test
on how the Senate feels about race
segregation itself. Senate leaders
were confronted with the prospect
of a t1libuster from Southerners II
the proposal was not sidetracked.
Acting Majority Leader Wherry
was one of the seven who supported
the LANCER amendment. The
others, besides Senator LANCER, were
Senators Ives, Republican, of New
York; Kigore, Democrat. of West
Virginia; Taylor, Democrat, OF
Idaho, the vice presidential candi-
date on the Wallace third party
ticket; Williams, Republican, of
Delaware, and Young, Republican,
of North Dakota.
Some Senators who favor the
civil rights program opposed Sena-
tor Langer's amendments. They
said the military manpower bill is
not the place to fight out such
issues.
Parliamentary Rule Invoked.
Tabling of the LANCER amend
ment resulted from a parliamentary
move which shut of debate on the
proposal to ban racial segregation
and discrimination in the armed
services because of race, color, ma
tional origin or religion" Senator
LANCER talked for three and a half
hours last Friday on the first OF
mis- civil rights amendments and
sought recognition as soon as the
Senate convened today.
"The measure before us is OF
paramount Importance to the ma
tional defense" Senator Gurney
declared. "Selective service Is es-
sential at this time when voluntary
enlistments don't build up the
armed forces. The civil rights mat
tiers are still under study. Our
committee discussed civil rights in
general and the members had diff
ferent views on it. The concensus
of the committee is that civil rights
legislation must stand on its own
feet and is not germane to this
draft bill"
The committee chairman added
that "the armed services are hand

bernadotte Sets
Time and Terms
For Arnistice
However, Palestine
Peace This Week
Seems Unlikely
ey the Associated Press

CAIRO, June Count Folke
Bernadotte handed to six Arab
nations today his proposal for
a starting time and conditions
of the four-week armistice in
Palestine.
Peace appeared unlikely during
this week, however. Palace sources
in Amman, Trans-Jordan, said the
Arab League Political Committee
will not meet before Saturday. 1t
is the kingpin of the Arab effort
in the Holy Land.
Fighting continued. The Jews
claimed successes south of Tel Aviv
and to the northeast around the
Arabs Tulkarm- -Jenin- -Nablus tri-
angle. The Syrian Army became
active on the north border of Pal
estine and the Saudi Arabians were
declared to have placed consider
able force with tanks and armor
in Palestine alongside the Egyptians.
Count Bernadotte, mediator for
the United Nations, has been en-
powered to fix the starting time of
the truce, to which both sides have
agreed. The Arabs, however, affixed
explanations" and the Jews "as-
sumptions." 1t was the Counts task
to reconcile the differences, particu-
larly over Jewish insistence and
Arab objections to unlimited immi-
grafton to Israel during the truce
and opening of the road to the
5000 besiezed Jews in Jerusalem.
Replies Expected in Two Days.
Count Bernadotte gave his pro-
posals to the foreign minister of
Egypt, the ministers of Saudi Ara
bia and Trans-Jordan and the
charge d'affaires of Syria, Lebanon
and Iraq. The seventh state ar
rayed against Israel is tiny Yemen.
All seven belong to the Arab League.
The diplomats were asked to for
ward the terms of their govern
ments. w
Count Bernadotte communicated
the proposal also to Jewish authori-
ties in Tel Aviv.
All sources declined to give a
clue to the grave-faced mediator S
Interpretation. Count Bernadotte,
tired from a week of plane rides
about the Middle East and haggling
with Arab and Jewish leaders, said
he expected replies within two days.
He declined to comment on re-
ports from an Associated Press cor
respondent in Amman that nego-
tiations for a truce appeared to be
falling apart. Count Bernadotte re-
turned only this morning from
flights to Beirut, Haifa and Amman.
Outside Amman, Trans-Jordan's
King cAbdullah talked with high
officers of the five allied Arab
armies he commands and looked
over battle maps. He had received
Count Bernadotte yesterday and
then motored to the Old City of
Jerusalem, which his Arab Legion
has conquered, to inspect holy places
subjected recently to Jewish mortar
fire.
In Haifa, Moshe Shertok, Israel
Foreign Minister, told a news con-
