Three Points Disputed In Arms Proposal
Washington June 23 Administration forces pressed for Senate approval of a 1,222,800,000 foreign arms bill to place modern weapons along Western Europe's defense frontier. Senator Connally warned that weakness invites aggression and that strength and resolve are needed to avoid a third world war. He outlined two major dispute points: a grant of Truman authority to transfer 122,260,000 in weapons to European allies and an amendment allowing broader U.S. arms deployment to vital defense partners.

Chicago readers learned four major railroads would halt operations Sunday if the expressmen strike spreads. The AFL union did not call a strike now, while other unions threaten a July walkout. A presidential fact finding board did not grant wage demands, and federal law governs peace talks. The Pullman conductors seek a 15 hour reduction without pay loss and rule changes, potentially delaying action by 60 days.
