Billion $3.50 Million To
Carry Out Program
tBy Associated rr~4.,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Presi-
dent Truman, at his press confer
ence today, rejected the sugges-
ton that he compromise on his
demand that 81 billion $3.50 milli-
on be appropriated for the rearm-
ing of western Europe.
He added, however, that he
would not object to lessening his
powers in administering the as
signment of arms, as had been
suggested by the opponents of the
bill in its present form. Congress
could curb his powers as much as
it saw fit, but he wished to reiter-
ate his demand that the full
amount be made available.
President Truman disclosed
that the Department of State had
prepared a White Paper that
probably would be released to-
morrow, dealing with the rela-
tons between this country and
China. He declared that many
misstatements have been made
about that relationship, and that
the White Paper would clear
them up. The documents will
contain statement made by Gen
eral George Marshall about the
investigation he conducted during
his trip TO China, and by other
government Officials. On that
subject, the President concluded
that this country'S relationship
with China today is as frinedly as
it ever has been.
A reporter asked the President
about James V. Hunt, who has
been active among the five per-
centers", and he replied that he
did not know Hunt
