It cites historical Bolshevik actions, postwar European communist regimes, and U S court rulings on dismissals for communist ties, urging scrutiny of Communist influence in democracies.

Acheson outlines 400 million aid plan for Greece and Turkey
State Department undersecretary Acheson says a proposed 400 million aid package targets Greece and Turkey with most funds for military and economic support. About 300 million goes to Greece split between military and civilian needs, including 80 million internal costs, 50 million for foreign exchange, and 20 million for livestock and farm equipment. Turkey aid of 100 million would focus on security and transport improvements. No troops would be sent, missions will be observers and advisers. The plan could lead to broader aid, subject to case by case review. Acheson rejected claims US troops would drive Greek policy and noted UN Security Council input remains pending.
