Two Senators Call for Changes in Aid Bill
In Washington two Republican senators press for changes to a major aid bill, amid fights over cutting Western Europe military assistance and boosting Atlantic pact arm production. Senator Vandenberg opposes deep cuts, arguing a $140,990,000 reduction harms Allied retooling plans, while an amendment with Senator Bradley seeks to spur arms output to over $700,000,000 in allied factories. Meanwhile Knowland pledges a full Pacific policy review as Europe debates loom. In Moscow, Trud reports Urals quarry officials were sentenced for safety rule violations, with a foreman and safety engineer receiving prison time and fines for worker endangerment.
