Harriman warned of potential shifts in Soviet policy if Communist aggression falters. The speech contrasted with a Roosevelts-era line and included taunts referencing past political slogans. England notes a Queen Elizabeth legacy with 3000 wardrobe creases mentioned in passing.

Foreign Aid Bill Moves Through Congress Amid Debate
The India grain loan of 190 million dollars advances in a Senate conference after a 293 to 94 House approval.
