General MacArthur ordered 24 central committee members of the Japanese Communist Party barred from politics and public life in Japan after red violence against U S troops.

Time Called Vital Need For Aid Cited
Gen Omar N Bradley told the House foreign affairs committee that free European nations, with time and aid, can defend Western Europe from attack. He supported Truman's request for 1 222 500 000 to continue foreign arms for another year, saying current aid moves Europe closer to lasting security for both allies and the United States. He cautioned time depends on European effort and weapon updates, and noted there is no immediate war threat but danger remains possible. He will also appear before the Senate foreign relations committee as part of the arms program review.
