The SIS, $50 ,000,0 European Re-
coyery program fund was on its
way to Senate passage today or
early next week after the smash
ing defeat of two efforts to cut it
last night.
Even administration leaders
were surprised at their own
strength as the Senate voted down.
81 to %. the 10 per cent reduc-
ton by Senators Taft, Republican
of Ohio, and Russell, Democrat of
Georgia.
Earlier a motion to lop off Is
per cent was buried under 68-to-
IA roll call.
Both parties were split on the
issue, but a majority of Repub-
licans followed the advice of SEN
ator Vandenberg of Michigan not
to deprive the Appropriations
Committee of the chance to pass
on the full amount when the time
comes to make the money avail
able.
1t was a timely psychological
victory for this country's biparti-
san policy of cooperation with
Western Europe, coming almost
on the eve of the signing of the
North Atlantic treaty.
Those who advocated the cuts
were not questioning the merits

BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK. April "A Czech
delegate to the recent world
peace" conference said today his
visit here had convinced him that
Americans are as peace minded
as the people of his homeland.
Most Czechs think Americans
are war-minded." Ferdinand Her
elk, professor at Masaryk Univer-
sity in Prague, told newsmen.
America would make greater
progress with the Czechoslovakian
people if it would get its message
to them"
Prof. Hercik and Jan Boor. a
Czechoslovakian sociologist and
also a delegate to the controver-
sial congress. left by plane this
morning for London.
Prof. Hercik said that in the
eight days of his stay here he had
mingled with American people in
all walks of life. From this asso-
citation. he said he learned that
his previous impression Of the
United States was incorrect.
Mr.. Boor agreed with Prof.
Hercik's reaction to the United
States. but thought it strange that
American people picketed what
was a conference for peace"

lof the Economic Cooperation Ad-

arguments were that European re-
covery to date justifies a tapering
off of Marshall Plan aid, and that
Government spending should be
trimmed generally to avoid higher
taxes.
The most important effect of
the voting probably will be to put
a damper on what appeared to be

This was the reaction of Sena-

The Virginian discounted the
argument of Senator Vandenberg
that the bill merely authorizes
not to exceed" $5.580,000.000, and
that the Appropriations Commit

Mr.. Hartman, special American
representative in the European

BERLIN, April 2.-The Amer

boundary disputes last night and
today.
Involved are slivers of land
claimed by both the Americans
and Russians. Surveyors were told
to recheck the boundary between
Soviet-occupied territory and the
American sector.
The disputes stemmed from
sharpened Russian efforts to
tighten their blockade against
Western Berlin by such means as
trenches, road blocks and border
police patrols.
A couple Of dozen German
policemen. at least two Russian
officers and several soldiers, some
representatives of the American

agitated German civilians got
into the quarrels. No one was
hurt.
Trench Causes Incident.
The first incident occurred last
night at the border between the
American-occupied borough of
zehlendorf and the surrounding
Soviet occupation zone. There
Communists had dug a trench
across a highway to stop block
ade-running trucks.
Germans on the American side
started filling up the trench.
Russian soldiers arrested two
German shovel-wielders. The ar

American military police and the
German police of Western Berlin.

which showed the spot was in

Bill Creating New Posi-
Of Undersecretary Of
Defense Is Signed
Appointee Will Outronk
Heads of Three Services,
Act in Chiefs Absence

President Truman today signed
into law bill creating a new post
of Undersecretary of Defense with
a salary of $4,000 year.
Mr.. Truman said in statement
that the legislation giving the
Secretary of Defense, Louis john
son. a chief aide is only one of the
changes needed to strengthen the
military establishment.
Mr.. Johnson's predecessor,
James v. Forrestal, had asked for
an undersecretary to help relieve
the secretary of administrative
burdens. The Hoover Commission
on Government Reorganization
supported the move, saying the
military needs general man
ager."
The new Undersecretary will
rank ahead of the Secretaries OF
the Army. Navy and Air Force
He also will act with full authority
in the absence of the Secretary of
Defense.
Other Amendments Sought.
The White House gave no indi-
cation as to when Mr.. Truman
might nominate some one for the
post. Mr.. Truman's statement
said:
This act becomes law at a par
ticularly opportune time in that
it will permit the new Secretary
of Defense and his Undersecretary
to begin working together at an
early date.
Provision of an Undersecretary
is, however. only one Of the
changes necessary to achieve truly
effective organization and man
agement in the department of de-
fenSe."
The President said further
amendments of the security act
should be aimed at these two basic
purposes:
1-Conversion of the National
Military Establishment into an ex-
ecutive department; and co pro-
viding the Secretary Of Defense

Setup Is Planned
For Coordination
OfAIIied Powers
By Gornett D. Horner

First steps toward organizing
machinery to coordinate the
strength Of the North Atlantic
treaty powers for unified action
against aggression were expected
today.
Secretary Of State Acheson and
the Foreign Ministers Of the II
other nations joining in the his
toric defense alliance met at IL
am. todav for a final review OF
the treaty before signing it Mon
day.
They were expected to make a
start in an informal way toward
agreement on methods Of estab-
fishing permanent agencies to put
teeth into the alliance.
The pact itself calls for creation
of a council. representing all the
participating nations. to consider
matters concerning the imple-
mentation" of Its mutual aid pro-
visions. 1t would be organized so
as to meet promptly at any time
to deal with an emergency.
Committee to Draft Plans.
Under the council. there would
be set up Immediately a defense
committee" to draw up detailed
plans for building up the armed
strength of the treaty nations and
integrating their power into a
common strategic plan in case of
war.
These agencies cannot be actu-
ally set up until the treaty is rati-
fed by the participating nations
United States Senate action is not
expected for several weeks or per-
haps months.
Consequently, no decisions on
organizational matters were ex-
pected at the meeting today. But
the gathering provided oppor-
tunity for an informal exchange
Of views among the foreign minis
ters which should pave the way
for swift agreement on organiza-
ton of the council and defense
committee when the pact becomes
effective.
Principal formal business before
the foreign ministers today was
final approval Of the pact terms.
Mr.. Acheson said in advance he
knew of no suggestions for changes
in the text made public two weeks
ago.
Ceremony Reviewed.
Plans for the signing ceremony
Monday in the Departmental au-
ditorium on Constitution avenue
between Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets NV, also were to get a
final review. The foreign ministers
met today in a conference room
off the main auditorium.
The Monday ceremony. to be
televised and broadcast, is sched-
uled to get under way at 2:30 pm,
with music by the Marine Band
Secretary Acheson will introduce
the visiting Foreign Ministers at
3p.m. They are expected to make
speeches of about five minutes
each.
President Truman is scheduled
for a 10-minute address about 4:30
pm, after which Mr.. AcheSon and
