President Truman plans to provide 307 million dollars in military and economic aid to Chiang Kai-Shek and Nationalist forces on Formosa. Senate committees are asked to approve 217 million in military aid and 90 million in economic assistance for fiscal 1952, amid pressure stemming from the Korean War.
