Civil Defense Is Issue.
Little time is expected to be
wasted over this bill in the drive
for adjournment this session of
Congress.
One of the remaining major
issues between the House and
Senate is the move by the Sem
ate to add new strength to the
District civil-defense program
far above the skeletoniZed $23.-
800 grant approved earlier by
the House.
After listening to the testi-
mony of Federal and District
civll-defense officials, the Sen
ate proposed that the city civil
defense fund be raised to about
$182. 900. Originally, the District
had asked for $315,000. District
officials had said the civil-de-
fense program here would have
to be practically folded up if
Congress granted no more than
the original House figure.
Other major differences in
clude the proposal by the Sen
ate to grant funds for IS addi-
tional uniformed members of the
Metropolitan Police Department,
not allowed originally by the
House. Along with this is the
Senate proposal to allow funds
for so instead of 200 part-time
civilian street crossing guards

pected to act on a Senate

Major Holohan's last day:
The major had decided to move

day. The report continued:
THAT afternoon Icardi then
approached two other sItalian
partisans who had been working
with the group, Giuseppe Manini
and Gualtiero TozZini, stating
that particular day would be a
good time to get rid of Holohan.
He ordered Manini to secure
poison which could be placed in
Holohan'S soup for dinner that
night.
Before the supper was served,
a quantity of cyanide of potas-
sium was placed into the soup
that was served to Maj. Holohan
by Manini. Holohan remarked
that the soup tasted sour or
bitter; however, he drank all of
it.
"He quickly became ill and
went upstairs to lie down. After
the other members had finished
dinner they began playing sea-

Restores Half
|0fAid Bill Cut
Congress Leaders
Push Hard for
August ] Windup
D.. ~
By J. A. o'Leory

The Senate Appropriations
Committee last night put back
about half of the Sill billion the
House cut from the Foreign Aid
money bill, as congressional lead
ers pushed hard to end the ses-
sion by August /.
In an all-day closed session,
the Senators restored $424.6 mil
lion of unobligated balances the
House had cancelled, along with
$123.9 million of new money.
This means that the Senate
has allowed $4.5 billion of new
money and $2.1 billion of unobli-
gated balances, for a total Of
SGT billion.
The comparable figures IN the
House bill were $4.4 billion of
new money and only SIT billion
of unobligated balances, for a
total of SCI billion.
Mccarthy Loses Fight.
An effort by Senator McCar-
thy, Republican, of Wisconsin
to put the committee on record
in favor of penalizing any allied
nation which permits trade with
Red China failed on a tie vote,
7 to 7. He announced he will
renew his fight on the Senate
floor.
The Mccarthy motion was
Watered down from his original
announcement Friday. He said
then he would ask that three
times the value of any shipment
to Red China be deducted from
United States aid to the country
sending the goods, plus 81 mil
lion for each trip cargo vessel
made to Red China.
In committee, Senator Nc
Carthy changed his motion to
require a deduction equal to the
value Of the cargo and dropped
the penalty per trip. But the
move still failed.
Specific Items Cut.
Although the Senate commit
tee raised the net total of the
foreign aid bill, it also made re-
ductions in some specific items.
The largest cut was 500 million
taken from the $400 million for
support of the French in the
1ndo-China war. Senator Fer
guson of Michigan announced
that the information obtained in
closed session led the committee
to believe this Congress was
justified.
The committee adjourned at
Z pm, leaving only two more
appropriation bills to be acted
upon early next week.
One is the $168 million mis-
cellaneous supplemental bill,
carrying the sharply reduced
House budget for the overseas
information program, which will
be taken up at 9 am. Monday.
The other is the bill carrying
operating expenses for Congress
and the courts, on which a sub
committee will hold a Sunday
afternoon meeting.

By the Associoted Press


MOSCOW, Sunday, July 90
The propaganda chiefs of Rus
sia's Communist Party declared
today its prime concern must
now be, peace and the maxi
mum satisfaction of the con-
stantly growing demands of the
Soviet people"
The pledge was contained in
a lengthy, significant document
put out by the Soviet news
agency TaSs and published in
leading Moscow newspapers. The
statement gave a historical sur
vey of the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union on the 50th
anniversary of it's founding.
The statement appeared to be
the most important policy state
ment issued here since Premier
Georgi Malenkov's funeral ora
ton over Stalin'S bier.
Stalin's Name Included.
The document, which stressed
the party's revolutionary tradi-
ton and its struggle against op-
portuniSm, was published over
the signature of the Division
of Agitation and Propaganda of
the Central Committee of the
Communist Party and the In
stitute of Marx, Engels, Lenin
and Stain.
The signature was the first
indication that the name of the
Institute of Marx, Engels and
Lenin had been expanded to in
clude the name of Stain.
(The phrasing of the document
gave it the force of a directive
to all party organizations).
The document referred to the
plenary meeting of the Central
Committee which expelled Law
remit P. Beria from the party
but it did not name him.
It said THE recent July
plenum of the Central Commit
tee demonstrated with new force
the uncrushable unity of our
Communist Party and it's battle
readiness for fulfillment of tasks
which stand before it in the field
of internal and foreign policy"
Aim At Business Ties.
The document concluded with
statement of party policy in
internal and foreign fields.
1t said that in the field of
foreign policy, the party will
pursue a policy of maintenance
and assurance of peace, a policy
of cooperation with all countries
and the development of business
ties with them on the basis of
respect for mutual interests"
The statement said "only a
firm, long-term peace between
peoples will create necessary con-
ditions for further uninterrupted
development of socialist economy
for the assurance of a happy,
prosperous life of the workers of
our country"
In the field of internal policy,
the declaration stated that the
party considers one of it's most
important tasks to be "the mani
festation of incessant concern
for the maximum satisfaction of
the constantly growing demands
of the Soviet people"

is sufficient evidence to indict
two former American soldiers
for the sensational Holohan
Staying. But they added there
is no legal way to prosecute
them.
A two-man House Armed
Services subcommittee said a
careful review of evidence
clearly reveals that probable
cause has been established
against Aldo Icardi and Carl Lo-
Dolce for the murder of Maj.
William v. Holohan" in Italy
in December. 1914.
John j. Courtney, subcommit-
tee counsel, defined probable
cause" as a legal terms meaning
sufficient evidence for indiet-
ment. An indictment does not
establish guilt, however, until
all the facts have been weighed
by a jury.
1cardi of Pittsburgh, Pa, a
lieutenant, and LoDolce of Ro-
chester. N. Y, a sergeant, para
chuted with the New York major
behind German lines in North
ern Italy in September, 1914.
Their secret mission, for the
Office of Strategic Services, was
to determine which of several
Italian partisan groups, includ-
ing Communists, should be aided
with supplies.
The subcommittee report said
Mr.. Holohan was slain by poison
and pistol shots, in a controversy
with Icardi over giving the Com
munists more arms. Maj. Holo-
han refused to supply Red parti-
sans but, the report added,
"Icardi felt that it would be
better to cooperate with the
Communist group"
Maj. Holohan'S body was re-
covered from the icy waters of
Lake Orta in September, 1850.
Before then, both Icardi and
LoDolce had been honorably
discharged from the service.
Through a loophole in the law,
since closed, this means they
cannot be tried in the United
States or eXtradited to Italy for
the trial, the report said.
It added that Icardi probably
could be tried for embezzlement
Of perhaps thousands of dollars
but said a conviction on this
charge would be difficult to OBJ
tain.

Icardi, who has applied for a
license to practice law in Penn

subcommittee and denied any

take place Sunday Saturday
night, EDIT.
An official announcement was
expected today. The announce
ment is expected simultaneously
at Panmunjom, Tokyo and Peip-
ing. It is expected to be the cli-
mactic moment of more than
three years of fighting and two
years of negotiations.

Within IL hours of the sign
ing, the guns must be stilled.

exchanging prisoners of war
grinds out the tasks agreed upon
in months of paulence-wearing
negotiations.
During that time the prisoners
of war, the known and reported
prisoners, some of the missing
and in many cases presumed
dead, will stream through the
Panmunjom checkpoints, going
home at last.
Then the combat soldiers on
both sides of the buffer zone
must wait in readiness still
