Congress Advances Cash Limits on Western Europe Military Aid
The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved 1.16 billion dollars in Western Europe military aid, but set cash spending at about half the total for the first year. The plan splits aid into 498.13 million cash by March 31, 1950 and 157.71 million cash by June 30, 1950, with contract authority for 428.0 million through March 31, 1950 and 77.05 million until June 1950. A key restriction requires presidential certification of a unified Allied command under NATO before contract spending.

No Property Tax to Finance the Bonus
Des Moines reports the state tax commission ruled no general property tax levy is needed to fund principal and interest on World War II bonus bonds for this year and the next. Earlier notices from state officials confirmed a 1949 levy would not be necessary. last year a 1.95 mill levy raised 6.375 million dollars. The 1949 legislature set aside 50 million from the treasury surplus to support part of the 85 million soldiers bonus with the remainder to be financed by bond sales.
