Truman Urges Senate
To Defeat Slash in
Foreign Aid Funds
Full Amount Is Needed,
He Tells Press PorIey;
May Vote on Cut Today

President Truman insisted to-
day that Congress provide the full
S., $50, 100000 sought by the ad-
ministration for the European
Recovery Program.
The President declared at his
news conference that this amount
is necessary to run the program
He said it had been worked out
very carefully.
The foreign aid program, he said
bluntly, should not be cut at all
The President made his observa-
ton when he was questioned about
efforts of Senators Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio and Russell. Demo
crat, of Georgia to cut the amount
sought by the administration.
Administration forces in Con-
gress claimed they had enough
votes to "break the back" OF q
Republican-led drive for an ECA
cut.
Both Sides Voice Confidence.
Majority Leader Lucas and
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee be-
lieve they have the votes to beat it,
on the basis of an informal poll.
But Senator Taft, chairman
of the Senate Republican Policy
Committee. says the amend
ment has "a pretty good chance.
Both parties are split on the issue:
and in such situation the scales
could be tipped either way.
I'VE will beat it," said Senator
Lucas, referring to the 10 per cent
cut, land when we do that will
break the back of the move tc
reduce the total"
Other Amendments Pending.
Waiting to be taken up later
are other amendments including
the following:
BY Minority Leader Wherry to
reduce the authorization from S.
$50 100000 to s3,63s, 100000 and
limit it to IL instead OF Is months
BY Senator Capehart, Repuo-
lican, of Indiana, to cut the total
to SO 900 ,000,00
Both sides agree that the Taft
Russell motion will be the real
test. If that fails, the more
drastic reductions will have no
chance.
Final Action Unlikely Today
The Senate probably will not
pass the bill before tomorrow,
even if it settles on the amount
today. There are other amend
ments affecting the scope OF the
Marshall plan. some of which may
lead to further debate.
Senator Brewster, Republican,
of Maine has an amendment that
would bar further Marshal plan
aid to the Netherlands unless it
complies with a U. N. ease-f1re
order in Indonesia. Some Sena-
tors say this amendment may give

two police plainclothesmen by MIR.

DONNA De Griffion. brother OF
Mr.. Rowell's wife. told reporters
Mr.. Rowell gave him the names Of
the two men about five hours after

the names after appearing before
a grand jury investigating the
RoWell case.

ance, Mr.. De Griffion also told re-
porters he was threatened twice
yesterday and one caller warned
him your body will be found

No Action Against Policemen.
Mystery was cast over the beat
ing by Mr.. Rowells insistence that
he did not know the identity OF
his assailants. When number
of men paraded before him in a
lineup he said he could not rec
ognize any of them as his assail-
ants.
Among those in the lineup
were Sergt. James Roche and Pvt.
Angelo Bonaccorsy. Police Supt.
Robert j. Barrett announced
shortly after the beating that he
had transferred Sergt. Roche and
Pvt. Bonaccarsy because OF re-
ports they were connected with
the beating.
A police investigation, however.

against the two policemen. Maj.

Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
today ordered a survey OF landlord
incomes to determine what rent
increases are to be granted under
the new control law signed by
President Truman late yesterday.
/ Announcing the order in a state
ment, Mr.. Woods declared the Is
month extension is considerable
strengthening" of the previous law
and does not mean "a general rent
increase for all tenants"
The new law does require that
rent ceilings allow landlords a
fair operating income" The sur
vey is to obtain information for
carrying out that part Of the law.
Shortly after MI. Woods an
nounced his plans. Mr.. Truman
took another crack at what he
called the real estate lobby.
| The rent ceiling bill he signed
yesterday must be a good one, the
President told his news conference,
in view of the criticism of 1t in a
telegram he has received.
Under questioning, Mr.. Truman
said the telegram came from the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards. He wasn't releasing the
telegram himself, he said, but the
sender, a Mr.. Nelson. was at lib
erty to do so.
Trace of Sarcasm.
The exchange started with this
question:
"Mr. President, would you care
to comment on the reactions OF
the real estate lobby to the rent
control law?"
Mr.. Truman replied. with a trace
of sarcasm in his voice. that he
had a long -winded telegram from
the real estate lobby giving him all
sorts of what-for for signing the
bill. So, he added, it must be a
good bill for that very reason.
Herbert U. Nelson, executive
vice president of the realty asso-
citation, was not Immediately avail
able for comment. On Monday,
however. he sent the President a
wire urging him to consult with
the real estate and housing indus
tries before signing any rent bill.
Word is spreading through the
industry that it is time to stop
