Washington August 25 Senator Russell Georgia predicted that senate committees will set a $450000000 limit on excess arms sent to European nations under Truman era military aid. He said a unanimous ceiling is expected from the foreign relations and armed services panels. The House already approved a similar cap. Committees met in close session to finalize the military assistance bill.
