State Dept Urges OK for Truman Turkey Greece Aid Plan
Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson urged Congress to approve about 400 million dollars to aid Turkey and Greece against Soviet pressure.

He said the Greece Turkey program is not a step toward a broader balance of power shift and should be a grant for consumable military supplies rather than a loan.
