House Group Agrees To Lop One Billion In Foreign Aid
A House committee tentatively plans to cut one billion dollars from Truman’s eight point five billion foreign aid program and place it under a new high level administrator. The plan would merge economic and military aid, with an administrator appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, reporting only to the president but coordinating with State and Defense. Senators ponder Formosa aid, as Connally questions Formosa military need without Chiang Kai Shek, while Knowland signals support for the Formosa program. McCarran urges a vigorous anti communism aid effort for China’s Nationalist government as the center of hopeful democratic Asia.

Officer Links Spy Ring To U S Policy Shakeup
Maj. Gen. Charles A Willoughby testified before the Senate subcommittee on internal security that higher military authority overruled him in 1949 when he sought to unmask a Soviet spy ring. He named Guenther Stein and Agnes Smedley as alleged members, said War leaks and a smear campaign blocked publication, and claimed Royall, then secretary of war, did not act. Willoughby tied Stein to the Institute of Pacific Relations and called him an itinerant journalist who became a British citizen in Hong Kong in 1941.
