Atomic Bill Deadlock. Page "A
House total and 1884 million
under the ceiling finally approved
in the Senate's foreign aid au-
thorization bill.
The Senate bill, however, still
brings forward an unobligated
balance of SIS billion from old
appropriations, so tt hat the e
Foreign Operations Administra-
ton would have $50 billion to
allocate this year.
IL Republicans Back Slash.
The Senate defeated without
roll calls two other attempts to
cut the bill before passing it at
7:45 pm.
Twelve Republicans Joined 20
Democrats to make the 5000 mil
lion slash while only seven
Democrats and the lone Inde-
pendent, Senator Morse of Ore
gon, joined 26 Republicans in
opposing the cut.
Senator Long, Democrat, OF
Louisiana, tried to take another
5000 million off the money for
Southeast Asia in view OF the
armistice in In6o-China, but
failed.
The Senate also rejected a
move by Senator Dworshak. Re
publican, of Idaho, to knock out
$35 million to help Great Britain
strengthen allied air forces in
Europe.
The bill now goes to confer
ence with the House, which al
lowed almost $2.9 billion of new
cash. If this conference follows
the usual pattern, the difference
of about 5000 million will be
compromised at the halfway
mark, which would make the
final sum $2.8 billion.
Dirksen Fights Cut.
Senator Maybank based his
fight for the 5000 million cut on
the fact that the bill makes avail
able 5000 million of reclaimed
military equipment which was
en- route to Indo-China when
that war ended. He said this
equipment can now be applied
to mutual security programs
elsewhere.
Senator Dirksen, Republican.
of Illinois pleaded with the Sem
ate not to make the cut. He
called attention to threats to
Formosa by Red China, and said
the United States still hopes to
use the reclaimed military equip
ment in other parts of Southeast
Asia.
Senator Long supported the
Maybank move, declaring that
Burma, India and Indonesia will
not take this American military
equipment which was being sent
to Indo-China before the arm
istice.
Mccarthy in Clash.
The final debate was enlivened
by a verbal clash between Sen
ator Mccarthy and several OF his
colleagues, over how Harold E.
Stassen is administering the pro-
gram as head of the FOA.
The Wisconsin Republican was
promptly challenged by Senators
Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois,
and Fulbright, Democrat, OF
Arkansas.
Senator Mccarthy renewed his
charges that the United States
continues to finance allies who
ship materials behind the Iron
Curtain which the United States
does not permit its own mer-
chants to ship. He charged that
Mr.. Stassen failed to furnish all
the information he promised
about EaSt-West trade.

They resulted from a telegram
the Navy sent last Thursday, re-
garding the color line at the
New Orleans Sugar Bowl, where
the Midshipmen play Mississippi

The embarrassment had MOTH

ment that it would honor tickets

Navy Secretary Thomas had
received a wire from Clarence
Mitchell, Washington official of

urging that the Navy have no

Mr.. Thomas drafted a reply

Shortly afterward, a news

Newly returned German prison.
ers of war said today three
Americans previously reported
held by the Russians were now
at a Soviet camp used as q dis
charge center. This suggested
the Americans might be due for
an early release.
The three are William T. Mar
chuk of Breckenridge, Pa, John
H. Noble of Detroit and William
A. Verdine Of Starks, La.
The former German prisoners
were among SIS persons released
by the Russians on Christmas
eve. They arrived in Vienna to-
day and told newsmen the three
Americans were all in good phys
ical condition at Camp Potma,
$50 miles east of Moscow.
u. S. Inquiries Futile.
First word that the Americans
were being held came from other
released prisoners last year.
United States Ambassador
Charles E. Bohlen made several
inquiries-the latest in April
about the three but met with
no official response.
Most of the prisoners arriving
today were ethnic Germans from
Yugoslavia. They were returned
to Austria because they have
relatives here.
Marchuk and Verdine were
American soldiers who had been
on duty in West Germany. No
BILE was caught in Germany at
the outbreak of World War II.
After the fighting ended he was
arrested by the Reds in Dresden
