More opposition has been ex-
pressed among Senate members to
the military aid program than to
the pact. The final decision of
foreign policy leaders apparently
was that an attempt to speed ac-
ton on the arms plan now might
actually prolong it. Moreover,
some felt it could conceivably
have increased the number of
Senators voting against the
treaty.
European governments still are
being told that the administra-
ton hopes for congressional ap-
proval of arms aid before ad-
journment. The program total of
ST ,450, 100000 includes s1,130,-
100000 for military assistance to
the European member nations of

would go for help to such coun-
tries as Greece and Turkey which
are not in the Atlantic Pact area,
but have been getting American
help against Russian pressure.
