Kem Would Revise Military Justice
Senator James P. Kem proposes overhauling military justice as an amendment to the Senate draft, aiming for a vote next week. The measure, already passed by the House, would allow enlisted men on courts martial, provide counsel at pre trial investigations, and strengthen review and appeal procedures. It would set non death sentences for murder or criminal assault and adjust penalties for war time offenses, with broader investigations of the Army’s caste system and military discipline.

Court Directs Lewis To Deal With South Marshall Blasts House
Secretary of State George C. Marshall warned that cutting European Recovery Program funds would shift the program from reconstruction to relief. Democrats, led by Sam Rayburn, pressed to restore the full appropriations of about 5.98 billion dollars as the House considers the foreign aid bill. The appropriations committee cut 53 million in actual foreign aid, while redefining the disbursement over 15 months, potentially delaying Europe’s recovery.

Russia Grants Finland Five Million Dollar Loan
Russia loaned Finland five million dollars today as the halving of wartime reparations to the Soviets takes effect July 1, the election day in Finland. Bank of Finland says the loan can be repaid in goods or money, seen as influencing voters. Prime Minister Mauno Pekkala calls the cut a sign of Soviet friendship and urges voters to reject the previous policy. Reparations experts estimate the reduction at about 75 million dollars, or one fourth of Finland's total reparations to the Soviet. Finland has already paid 150 million dollars.
