with 81 100000 asked by the
administration, and s819,405, 900

The House cut the administra-
tion's $1,16O,99O,O0O request for

have trimmed it to an even ST.

:. China Aid Issue Persists.
Senator Vandenburg, Repubii-
can of Michigan, was. reported
last night to be considering max
ing a further effort before the
joint committee tomorrow to
harmonic the dispute over aid
to Communist China. The
committee divided on party lines
Friday when it voted, II to 9, for
an amendment giving the Presi-
dent a $75,000.000 fund to use at
his option in any part of the Far
East. Senator Knowland. Repub-
lican, of California, Immediately
announced plans for a minority
report and a fight in the Senate
for more specific help to China.
Senator Vandenberg had no
comment on reports of further
compromise efforts, but he was
reported to be working on a re-
wording under which the $75,-
100000 could be spent at the
Presidents direction on projects
which had been approved in ad-
vance by American military lead
ers. Presumably this would in
crease chances Of helping sections
of Nationalist China where aid
could be put to good use.
Senator Connally, Democrat, Of
Texas, in charge of the bill, indi-
Gated, however, that he is not dis
posed to compromise further. He
told reporters that, under the
present amendment. the President

Senator Smith plans to leave
from Seattle Friday for Japan to
confer with Gen. Macarthur on
the Asiatic situation.

Senator Smith, member OF the
Foreign Relations Committee; said
he may also visit Hong Kong,
Korea and the Philippines.
O Senator Smith added that he
also plans to talk to Gen. Mac
Arthur about the advfsability OF
trying to see Chang Kai-shek,
Chinese Nationalist leader. He said
his trip had been indorsed by Gen.
Macarthur. top Navy officials and
the Foreign Relations Committee.
The arms bill probably will come
out of committee tomorrow, but
floor debate must await passage of
the extension of the reciprocal
trade agreement law, which also
is a vital foreign policy measure.
The trade agreement debate
may take a week or 10 days more.
The crucial test on that bill! is
expected about Wednesday when
the Senate votes on the Repubii-
can move to include the peril
point" provision. Both sides say
that vote will be close.
The peril point clause would
authorize the Federal Tariff Com
mission to fix a level below which
tariff cuts would injure an Amer
ican industry. The President still
could go below that point. but
would have to make known his
reasons for. disagreeing with the
Tariff Commission. The admins
tration is fighting to pass the bill
without the peril point or other
amendments it contends would
hamper the trade program.
Malone Gives Radio Talk.
Senator Malone. Republican. OF
Nevada, author of a substitute
trade agreement plan, said in a
radio talk over Station WMAL
last night that destruction of this
country's basic domestic wealth
would follow passage of the ad-
ministration trade agreement bill
and current efforts to uphold the
fictitious value of the British
pound"
Senator George said in his
statement that he believes his
chances of reducing the arms fund
for Western Europe to S3O0,0o0.-
900 will be better in the Senate
than they were in committee. He
told reporters it would be "prema-
ture" to authorize more than that
until the joint defense committee
contemplated in the North Allan
tic Treaty has come up with
it's overall program. He said
this is especially so in view OF the
signs of a deficit "of at least
S., 900 100000 at the end OF this
fiscal year."
The Georgia Senator said there
should be tax relief rather than
increases. The recent tempo

Neiehborhood School Study
Third of a Series.)

The far Northeast section of
Washington has experienced a
sensational growth during and
since World War II, and the
mushrooming housing develop
ments have brought accompany
ing headaches to school officials
who don't have enough buildings
there.
The area being considered today
is east of the Anacostia River and
north of Pennsylvania avenue Sc.
1t includes the neighborhoods of
Kenilworth, Deanewood, Lincoln
Heights. River Terrace and is the
area where the huge Fort Dupont
Park is located.
Every school in the area has
more children than the buildings
were designed to handle.
Labeled Crucial Area.
DR.. George D. Strayer of Colum-
bia University, in his survey of
school needs here made last year,
spotted this as a crucial area. He
said the white elementary school
enrolment in this Northeast area
had increased 600 per cent since
1889. The eolored school popula-
ton jumped 120 per cent from
1889 to 1945 and has risen 40 per
cent since 1945.
The section will continue to
show a marked increase in popu-
lation> because of families, pre-
dominantly colored, moving into
the neighborhood, DR.. Strayer
said. in addition to the greater
school enrollments resulting from
the high birth rate during the war
years.
There are no junior high schools
in this section now, although two
are under construction. They are
the Sousa Junior High School,
Thirty-fourth street and Ana
costa road Sc, for white STU
dents. and Miller Junior High
School, Forty-ninth street and
