Congress Passes
Emergency Aid Act
WASHINGTON (A*)—The $597,
)0.000 emergency foreign aid bill
as sent to President Truman to
»v. House approval completed
congressional action on the mea
sure providing winter relief for
France, Italy, Austria and China.
The bill, a compromise worked
out in Senate-House conference
Saturday, would permit the flow
of supplied to start moving imme
di: ely after the bill had been
signed, by the President.
The authorization bill, known as
the “Foreign Aid Act of 1947” does
not specify the amounts of aid
« ch of the four countries will re
. ceive. It only sets a $597,000,000
< iling on the entire porgram.
Just before the vote, Sen. Van
den berg <R.-Mich.) who shepherd
ed the measure to passage, told the
Senate that although China “rich
ly deserves” United States relief
funds, it would be futile for Con-.
gress to provide them until the ad
ministration comes up with a def
ile program.
Britsh Ex-Premier
Baldwin, 80, Dies
r
LONDON, (j<P) — Earl Baldwin,
80, thrice prime minister of Bri
tain, died in hi^ sleep Saturday at
his home in Stourport, Worcester
shire—11 years after he had forced
Edward VIII to renounce his
throne as the price for choosing to
marry an American divorcee.
It was Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin and the late Cosmo Gor
don Lanf, Archbishop of Canter
bury, who told Edward that lie
must renounce either 'the throne
or twice-divorced Wallis Warfield
Simpson. Edward chose abdica
tion.
Shortly thereafter Baldwin be
came Earl Baldwin of Bewdley
.and. retired to his birthplace in
Stourport to “raise pigs.”
Baldwin, often described as the
“most English of Englishmen,”
was a conservative in politics who
believed firmly in British-Ameri
can cooperation.
Maybe the fish goes home and
lies about the size of the bait he
stole.

Nov. 30 Alaska Airlines plane dis
aster at the Seattle-Tacoma air
port was concluded Friday, but
the examiner said it \vould prob
ably be six weeks before the
C.A.B. inquiry into the accident
would be completed.
Eight persons lost their lives
when the airliner overshot the
field, crashed into an automobile
and burned.
The closing session wa$ high
lighted by testimony by L. K.
Phillips, civil aeronautics admin
istration maintenance division ex
ecutive, that the brakes were in
working order but failed to stop
the plane because it was still par
tially airborne when it went off
the runway.
Pilot James E. Farris testified
earlier that there was no indica
tion of braking as he tried desper
ately to stop the plane.
At the pilot’s suggestion, the
airline agreed to make a test at
