Two GOP Senators Push Real Changes in Arms Aid Plan
Senators Vandenberg and Knowland pressed for major changes to Truman’s 1.45 billion arms aid program on Western Europe and China. Vandenberg seeks a 160.99 million cut to European military aid, backing an amendment with Dulles to boost Atlantic alliance production to over 700 million dollars, while defense leaders warn against cutting. Knowland demands China be funded on par with other nations, rejecting non-committed non-arms aid and urging a full policy review with Pacific focus. Secretary Acheson signaled no immediate arms for China, favoring a discretionary Far East fund.

Shortage in Education Funds Prompts Possible Special Session
Allen says the ASETF grants will yield about $59 to $60.75 million per year over the next two fiscal years, well below the roughly $61.25 million education appropriation. A $1.75 million annual general fund infusion raises the yearly total but remains insufficient, making prorating and a likely special legislative session unavoidable.
