UNRRA winds up March 31 with shipments totaling 1,813,192 tons valued at 182,732,000 dollars for October 1 to December 31, 1946.

Congress Leaders Move To Clear Greco-Turk Aid
Congress sent to the White House legislation authorizing a 400 million dollar program of financial and limited military aid to Greece and Turkey against Communism. The House and Senate approved differing measures, with debates over aid totals for relief and defense. The Senate approved general relief for Austria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Trieste, and China, while the House favored a 200 million limit. President Truman urged full funding of 350 million for European and Asian relief, citing world peace tied to hunger alleviation. The dispute centered on totals and countries to receive aid, with Vandenberg criticizing undersized funding for Greece, Italy, and Austria. The measure to bolster Greece and Turkey moved from the House, awaiting Senate action.

Labor bills backed but no industry wide bargaining ban
Washington reports Chairman Hartley of the House labor committee predicts the final labor legislation approved by Congress will not include a ban on industry wide bargaining. He expects the compromise panel to drop authorizations for private employers and to oppose jurisdictional strikes on secondary boycotts. The wage issue also looms with Truman supporting a 65 cent minimum wage though action is unlikely this session. Senate leaders warn progress is slow and no floor action is assured.
