Parties Dispute Effect
Of Arms Agreementon
U. 5. Policy in China
By J. A. O'Leory

Republican and Democratic
spokesmen disagreed today over
the extent to which the admins
tration had altered its China pol
icy in the compromise foreign
arms bill approved yesterday by
joint action of the Senate For
eign Relations and Armed Services
Committees.
Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California. leading advocate of
more help for nom Communist
forces in China, hailed the final
committee draft as a definite
change in the trend of this gov
ernment's policy in the Far East.
Chairman Connally of the For
eign Relations Committee pointed
out, however, that the $4,000, 900
added to the bill for possible use
in China or that general area
is to be used entirely at Presi-
dent Truman's discretion. He
said the administration will not
be forced to retreat from it's posi-
ton on China even if the amend
ment passes the Senate.
Nati0nalists Written of.
The State Department has writ
ten off the Nationalist govern
ment. and the administration has
contended this country should not
involve itself in large scale opera
tions in China at this time.
Senator Knowland takes the
view that the inclusion of the
$75, 100000 discretionary fund is
at least a recognition of the i'm
portance of China in the over
all global picture"
OF more concern to admins
tration forces now is the problem
of heading off the economy bloc
drive in the Senate to make a
further $7OO,OOO,O0O cut in the
arms allotment for Western Eu-
rope.
The two committees reduced the
administration figure for that area
from 81, 100000 to 81, 900 ,000,-
900 and spread it over two years
by making only half of it cash.
and the rest contract authority.
George Ready to Renew Motion.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia is ready, however, to
renew in the Senate the motion
he came close to putting through
in committee to reduce the West
ern European allotment to $780,
100000. Senators George. Rus
sell of Georgia and Byrd of Vir-
ginia, all Democrats, voted against
the bill when the committee ap-
proved it yesterday. 20 to 3.
The Senate version of the bill
totals $1,314,010.00O. counting the
funds for Greece, Turkey. Iran,
Korea and the Philippines. The
President asked for $1,450 0.000, 900
and the House allowed only $819,-
405,000. The final figures will
have to await conference between
the two branches after the Senate
passes the bill. .
It may be Z week or 10 days
before the Senate debate begins
and another 10 days or two weeks
before the bill is ready for the
final conference stage. Senator
Conna]ly filed the bill with the
Senate today. The joint commit
tee is expected to make a formal
report later,

Pier Fire
Continued From First Page.)

flames lit the sky for many miles
Police roped off the area to keep
spectators back.
The Million Dollar Pier is the
second largest in Atlantic City,
next to the Steel Pier. 1t is owned
by Associated Realty. Inc, an At
lantic City firm. and is leased to
operators. This year, firm head
ed by George Costello, who owns
a New York City ferry service,
leased the pier.
Built in 1906 by Capt. John L.
Young, the pier once was won-
der for it's size and construction.
Through the years, it has re-
manned a landmark of the resort.
The burning of Atlantic City
amusement piers is not unusual.
The nearby Central Pier has
burned down three times since it
was built.
One Pier Burned in 1882.
The Steeplechase Pier. 1900 feet
long. burned in 1882, but was re-
built.
When the pier was built by Capt.
Young, he built himself a house
about halfway out the long struc-
ture.
He gave his address as No. /,
Atlantic Ocean.
In recent years the summer &C
tivities on million dollar pier have
been quieter than in its halcyon
days. 1t has been used mainly to
show movies and as bath house
for bathers on the resorts four
mile beach.
One of the familiar sights that
greeted thousands of Boardwalk
strollers on the pier burned and
toppled in the scorching blaze.
1t was a huge electrical adver-
tising sign that featured an elec-
trio horse race on its oval face.
Residents say the vacationers
often bet on the artificial horse
races as they patrolled the beach
front.
The fire was discovered by a
Boardwalk patrolman. who saw
smoke pouring from the side of
the building near the shore end.
