KEY WEST, Fla. Mar. s.
President Truman today asked
Congress for a supplemental ap-
preparation of $97.5 million for
the Voice of America to deal with
Communist lies.
In a letter to House Speaker
Rayburn, the President explained
that the money will be used for
radio.
The details of the estimate were
not made public here.
In his message, the President
said:
Present world conditions make
it imperative that we avail our
selves Of every possible means for
presenting the truth to the rest
Of the world and counteracting
the distortions and untruths that
the Communist Leaders and their
puppets are spreading. Incredible
as 1t may seem. Communist lies
are widely believed in many parts
of the world because the people
there have no way of learning the
truth.
Wants Adequate Coverage.
These funds are needed to pro-
vide for the completion of radio
broadcasting facilities designed to
assure adequate radio coverage by
this Nation In critical areas of the
world. and to make our campaign
Of truth more effective in coun-
tries behind the iron curtain.
"The projects included in this
estimate represent the final links
In a ring OF radio transmitters

gress has already appropriated
substantial sums. and on which a
great deal Of progress has been
made. 1t was originally intended
that appropriations for the con-
