200 000 Tons In Arms Aid Sent Abroad
Washington officials report nearly 200000 tons of American weapons and military supplies sent to friendly governments in five months. They expect increases as Congress aims to fund a 31.22 billion foreign arms program with 1.314 billion already appropriated. France leads recipients with Western strategy, while Iran, Greece, and the Philippines also receive significant shipments. About 300 aircraft, including B 29s, are part of the aid.
