Stand. Against Strings to Arms Aid Faces Setback
The administration faces a major stumble as Congress votes to slash Europe arms aid from 609,900,000 to 580,495,000 and to curb the program next June. President Truman sought full funding through June 1950 for Western Europe, Greece, Turkey, Korea, Iran and the Philippines, while Acheson warned against signaling distrust from allies. The Richards measure, approved by a teller vote, threatens to signal that arms will be cut if European nations fail to show unity. Major floor fights loom over China aid and plans to end the program next June, with implications tied to mutual defense cooperation.
