Phoenix Servicemen Seek Home Style Meals In City Leisure
Phoenix draws about 1,500 servicemen daily from Luke Williams and Litchfield bases with 3,000 on weekends enjoying dining swimming and recreation. They prefer civvies over uniforms and crave home cooked meals and private home invitations. Navy and air force personnel want a USO center in Phoenix and a center may start in 1952. USO dances at the YWCA gymnasium and Sunday open house draw hundreds, with more plans in the works.

Willoughby Puts Finger On Superiors
Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willoughby testified before the Senate subcommittee that higher authority overruled him in 1949 when he sought to unmask a Soviet spy ring in Japan. He named Guenther Stein and Agnes Smedley as members, said Smedley fought the report, and that the War Department and Royall’s office squelched publication. He cited Sorge’s ring and a signed confession linking the group to the USSR and the Red Army’s Fourth Bureau, noting no duress in postwar checks.

House Group Trims Foreign Aid and Proposes Czar
A House foreign affairs panel tentatively cuts more than one billion from President Truman's foreign aid program and would place the entire effort under a new high level administrator. The plan would have the administrator report to the president and coordinate with State and Defense, with possible Republican support to remove aid directing from Secretary of State Acheson. The panel also signals future disputes over Formosa aid, with Chairman Connally questioning the military need for Chiang Kai shek if he cannot protect Formosa. Senator Knowland hints at backing the Formosa package, stressing vigilance against Communist advances in Asia.
