Press Clause Becomes UNRRA Bill Follows House Vote
The House passed a press clause amending the UNRRA bill by a 299 to 0 vote, aiming to bar funds for relief in countries that censor UNRRA news, targeting Russia. Dirksen supporters claim it would withhold $367 million in medical supplies for Russian republics and alter aid timing to Europe and the Far East. The chamber initially approved a nonbinding stand-pateth vote but later reversed to defeat the measure 84 to 65.
