 ARMS AID

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. -R- Senators today postponed hearings from tomorrow until Monday on the Administrations $1,450, ,000, ,00C foreign arms program amid indica- tions that they will attempt to re- duce it in size and scope.

 He spoke out as w. Averell Harri- man, the Marshall's Plans rowing ambassador in Europe, urged the House Foreign Affairs committee to approve the arms program. He said it is needed promptly to protect the growing generation from war Hartman made the appeal in testimony before the House For eign Affairs Committee.

 This combined group is expected to open hearings soon-perhaps to- morrow-on the arms aid program
 Hartman told the House com mittee that T earnestly believe we are winning the struggle for peace and freedom in Europe"
 But he emphasized any delay in shipping arms to Americas Europ- can allies would creat doubts which might reverse this trend.
 "The voices of the subversive ele- ments, the appeasers, those who would trust neutrality would rise again and have an effect on the confidence and determination which ] now exists" he said.
 Hartman, who was once the American Ambassador to Moscow added: T believe that it is our duty to make the present sacrifices which may be necessary to protect the growing generation from war.
 The Ambassador spoke out as Democrats joined with Republicans on the committee in calling for more details on President Truman's s request for approval of $1 400, ,000,- 900 program to help friendly na- , tions arm against Soviet aggression.
