ing television stations, which OPP
Grated at a loss during the 1886

For most corporations, which

increase from Is to 80 percent in
their rate. The tax on corporate
income above $4,000 remains at

Senator'S " ant Exports
Ito Red Bloc Handled
by Single Agency

A Senate group today called
for a single high-level organiza-
ton" to plan and administer this
Governments program for regu-
lating exports from the West to
countries behind the Iron Cur
tain.
This was a key recommended
ton in a report by a Senate Com
merce Subcommittee on Export
Controls and Policies, noting a
substantial reduction during re-
cent months in war materials 60
ling from the West to the Com
muniSts.
Chairman O'Conor said, how
ever. the progress made does not
mean that the battle is won.
"As each material procurement
channel is closed to the Reds"
he said. "they seek out another
to replace it. Our Government
and other Western nations can
not afford to falter in this phase
of economic warfare"
| Coordination Stressed.
The subcommittee report as
serted that efforts to promote ex-
Iport policies essential to western
security interests "cut across the
functions of almost every agency
Involved in our foreign military
land economic aid programs"
Declaring that further progress
toward adequate controls will
rely more and more on co-ordina-
ltion of activities and agency
functions designed to accomplish
functions rather than trade-con-
ltrol procedures alone" the sub
COMMITTEE said:
There should be a single
agency or individual responsible
flor and with sufficient authority
Ito coordinate, influence, evaluate,
land establish policy for all activ-
Titles which can bring about the
conditions and machinery essen
Itial for fulfilment of export con-
trol objectives."
The group said United States

and sufficiently extensive" but
that those Of other Western ma
tions vary.
undue Secrecy" Hit.
| 1t recognized that some trade
with the countries behind the iron
curtain Is presently necessary for
the general welfare Of certain of
the Western nations"
But the subcommittee asserted
that efforts must be made to
provide alternative sources of
supply and alternative markets
for such nations"
The group hit at undue Sc
crecy" concerning American ne
: gotiations with other countries
which. it said. have led to Sub
stantial agreement" banning ship

service. The most surprising fact
developed were the questions
asked by Senator Kilgore Harley
M. Kilgore, Democrat. of West
Virginia) and Senator Morse
(Wayne L. Morse, Republican. ot
Oregon. Senator Morse's ques-
tionS in particular were SHARP
and pointed with relation to the
overhanging threat of Russia in
Europe. and reflected a pro-
nounced and surprising change in
attitude. The same could be sale
of Senator Kilgore, although his
questioning was somewhat less
well conceived.
Balanced Defense Program.
(In a long day before the
Armed Services Committee on
the 25th. Mr.. Forrestal, sup
ported by his three service Sec
retaries and their three Chiefs
of Staff, presented the admin
istration program-"a specific
program" as he phrased it,
which is solely designed to
achieve one great objective: To
avert war, whether it be open
or covert"
(To this end he proposed a
program for "a balanced
strength in manpower-on the
ground, on the sea, in the air."
He divided the program sharply
into two parts (this contribu-
ted to clarity, although it plain
ly exposed UNIT to separate
defeat): THE short-term, which
looks to the immediate strength
ening of our regular forces; the
long-term, which looks to the
provision of adequate reserves"
Cali three services were to
benefit under the program, but
the accent was prepoderantly
on the ground forces. where the
actual want was most acutely

felt. OF the additional man
power 100000 were to go to the
ground Army and 1000 to the
Marines-together nearly 70 per
cent of the total asked. The
Air Force would receive addi-
tional men and means to fill out
its existing 55-group organiza-
ton: there was no provision to
increase it to the desired TO
group goal.
20 Groups for Air Force.
(Mr. Symington and Gen.
Spaatz respectively Air Secre-
tary and Chief of Staff had
appeared with the others in
support of what was presum-
ably a carefully balanced and
mutually agreed program. Un-
der questioning by the commit
tee. however. they did not
conceal their conviction that
the Air Force should be given
its 70 groups. Mr.. Symington,
at least. did not hesitate to
leave the plain inference that
the Air Force had been over
ridden by the other arms. This
was to lead to prolonged dis
pute before the public and the
committee. Mr.. Forrestal re-
peatedly emphasized that he
did not oppose, the 10 groups,
but he did not believe that they
should be provided at the ex-
pense of the ground force in
creases. which were what was
Immediately wanted and were
necessary for a properly bal
anced" force.
(After various arguments and
maneuverings. Mr.. Forrestal
went back to the Joint Chiefs
to try to get all three of them
IN agreement on a program
within the So billion supple
mental appropriation for which
he had asked on March Is. On
April 18 Gen. Gruenther told
him over the telephone that the

day to a space travel symposium

After your ship left the protec-
ton of the earth's atmosphere,

Only the very best rejecting

be uncomfortable.
This heat problem was reported
by DR.. Heinz Haber Of the United

ton Medicine. Randolph Field
Tex. He was one of the leading
German scientists of World
War II.
Another trouble, DR.. Haber said
would be your lack of weight
You would feel as if you were
falling into a bottomless pit.
DR.. Fred L. Whipple, Harvard
astronomer. said if you should
parachute from 1000 miles I'D

Chiefs Finally Agree.
Gwen with this effort, the
chiefs could not get within the
So billion limit, but they did
finally agree unanimously on a
supplemental program of only
$3,481 10000 not as "militar-
lily" sufficient but as "the most
effective military program with
in the limits of the funds that
will probably be available" :"
When Mr.. Forrestal laid this
before the President, Mr.. Tru-
man did not give it final ap-
proval. but he did authorize Mr..
Forrestal to present it to Con-
gress. This he did on April 81.
The effect would be to raise the
Air Force from SIS to 66 groups;
but a substantial increase for
the Army ground forces had
been preserved. The adoption
of the draft. moreover, was rea-
sonably well assured. Mr.. For
restal had carried his main
points. though the battle as yet
was far from over.)

Senate Approval Near
On S56.9 Billion Fund
For Nations Defense

The Senate prepared to put its
final stamp of approval on the
1868 billion defense appropriation
budget today and to follow it up
in few days with the $S.2 bill
lion foreign aid fund. passed by
the House yesterday.
The 1863 billion figure for de-
fense of the United States Is q
conference agreement which the
House already has approved. Sen
ate action. therefore, will send
this measure to the White House.
It contains the money to run all
of the armed forces until next
June 80, plus large allotments to
build more ships, tanks and
planes.
The Senate also may try to dis
pose today of the 81 billion con-
ference agreement on funds for
the State, Justice and Commerce
Departments, as leaders contin-
ued to hope for adjournment of
Congress October 20, or not later
than October 81.
Unspent Fund Reappropriated.
The foreign aid figure Congress
authorized a few days ago in the
mutual security bill was only ST.
4S3 100000. The follow-up ap-
preparation bill passed by the
House yesterday makes $8.2 bill
lion available because that body
reappropriated an unspent bal
ance of $816 million from prior
years.
Even so, it is below the admin
iStration request. The President
wanted $8.5 billion without count
ing the carry-over.
Republicans offered six amend
ments on the House floor to cut
the funds further and were de-
feated on all of them.
The final vote that sent the bill
to the Senate was 221 to SO, with
50 Republicans and one independ-
ent joining Isl Democrats. Pas
sage was opposed by 81 Repub-
hcans and 18 Democrats.
Republicans aimed their econ
omy drive at funds earmarked for
Europe. They tried unsuccess-
fully to cut $556.253.233 and then
$500 million and finally $40 mil
hon from European military al
lotmentS.
G. o. p. Gives Up Fight.
Then they sought to trim ST.
S83.000 from technical and eco
nomic aid funds for Europe; $32,-
681, 500 from money for India and
Pakistan, and $40 million from
carryover funds for Korean re-
habilitation. They were beaten on
all three and gave up the fight.
The only amendment adopted
was sponsored by a Democrat,
Representative Rooney of New
York. Approved without opposi-
tion, it set aside $40 million of
the European funds to help
hlance the migration of surplus
manpower. mainly from popula-
tion-burdened Italy.
AS it left the House the bill
contained these new appropria-
tions, in addition to the carry
over funds not earmarked spe-
cifically:
Europe: s5,o72,476,271 military
and $1,022, 100000 economic aid.
Near East and Africa: 1896 ,250,-
900 military and $3.50 million eco
nomic aid.
Asia and the Pacific: $685. ,250,-
900 military and $237,155 ,S66 eco
nomic aid.
American Republics: $38,150,-
900 military and $21 ,245,653 eco
nomic aid.
