UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, May
16.-France moved yesterday to
broaden the projected world
wide United Nations embargo
against war materials for Com
munist China to include trans
portation materials, such as loco
motives and steel rails.
French Delegate Francis La
ceste tossed in the proposal. One
aim apparently is to prevent the
shipment Of steel rails and other
supplies from West Germany to
Peiping.
Britain, Australia, Venezuela
and the United States agreed to
co-sponsor the French amend
ment to the original embargo
resolution.
These supplies would be wrapped
up within the embargo on arms,
ammunition, war materials and
supplies for making war materials

Grain for India Vote
Due in Senate Today;
Approval Expected
BY the Asseeiaied Press

The Senate agreed to begin vot-
ing today on the disputed bill Il
supply 2 million tons Of grain
mostly wheat--to combat famine
in India. Passa-e seemed as.
sured during the afternoon.
The first amendment to bs
considered would provide that oil
of the $l90 million worth O,
United States food would be paid
for by q loan from the United
States to India. The Senate
agreed to limit debate both on
amendments and final passage.
As it emerged from the Foreign
Relations Committee the measure
provided that half OF the grain
should be a gift and half paid for
by q loan.
But Senator Smith, Republican,
OF New Jersey, who headed q BIZ
partisan group of 81 Senators in
sponsoring the bill, announced on
the floor yesterday he would be
willing to accept the change to :.
straight loan basis.
Acceptance Expected.
This signif1ed the amendment
probably would be approved al
though some of the sponsors, such
as Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
OF Minnesota still insisted all of
the grain should be donated to In
dia. This was the suggestion of
President Truman in passing along
to Congress India's request for
help.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
OF Michigan. who offered the
amendment for a 100 per cent
loan, said India itself had not
asked for a gift.
A grant, he said would be part
of a carefree. grandiose, global
giveaway philosophy"
Senator Smith backed Senator
Ferguson, contending that the In
dian government had indicated It
would prefer a straight loan to tho
half grant-half loan basis.
Debate in the Senate has CEN
tered on two points aside from
the humanitarian motive-the
need to prevent India from fall
ing into the Communist orbit and
the possibility that short 1851
crops may lead to a pinch in the
United States grain supply next
year.
