Foreign Aid Bill Approved and Western Germany Pact Moves
Secretary of State Dean Acheson pressed the Senate foreign relations committee for quick approval of two documents linking Western Germany to Western defense. The plan includes a peace treaty with the United States Britain France and Western Germany and a North Atlantic treaty protocol extending to Western Germany. Committee chairman Tom Connally aims to finish hearings this week and spur ratification by other treaty nations. The prior day the committee advanced a $6.4477 billion foreign aid package, sending it to the White House for President Truman's signature despite being below his $7.9 billion request. The aid vote was 59 to 41 with 41 Democrats and 18 Republicans in support. 11 senators opposed. The authorization sets a ceiling for the fiscal year starting July 1 and requires a second bill to fund the money. The appropriations committee has begun work on that.
