Ask More Greek
Military Aid
TACOMA, Wash., (JP) — An in
crease in the $300,000,000 aid pro
gram to Greece to give military
help to Greek government forces
fighting Communist-led guerrillas
is under “serious consideration”
by the state department, George
C. McGhee, coordinator of Ameri
can aid to Greece and Turkey,
said last night.
He spoke before the Tacoma
World Affairs counc'l at the Col
lege of Puget Sound.
He made no estimate of the ad
* ditional amount the administration
might ask of Congress. The Mar
shall plan, he said, can take care
of Greece’s economic needs but
not the “equally ‘"important” mT
tary requirements.

Committee O.K.’s
Part Of Program
WASHINGTON, (A>)—The Sen
ate-House economic committee to
day placed its approval on six of
the less controversial sections of
President Truman’s 10-point pro
gram to combat rising costs—with
some modifications.
1. Endorse the “general princi
ple” on controlling consumer cred
it, but urge postponement of con
I sideration of Mr. Truman’s related
1 request for legislation to restrain
bank credit. Taft said this latter
: matter is “too complex” for any
\
quick action.
j 2. Call for “some restraint” on
| “excessive or exhorbitant” specu
lative trading on the commodity
exchange.
3. Endorse extension of expoit
! controls.
4. Recommends extension of
transportation controls.
5. Recommend that the agri
culture department expand its
program of encouraging grain con
I servation practices in this country,
and authorize it to take steps *o
increase food production abroad.
As for the sixth point, the com
mittee decided that measures to
induce the marketing of livestock
and poultry at grain-sa v i n g
weights should be on a voluntary
basis, rather than compulsory as
recommended by Mr. Truman.

•Jews Calls For
Withdrawal Of
Arab Troops
. JERUSALEM lIP)—Jewish lead
ers called upon the Palestine gov
ernment today to order the imrre
! diate evacuation of all trans-Jor
dan Arab Legion troops, a detach
ment of which yesterday machine
gunned a truck convoy near Tel
Aviv, killing 14 Jews and wound
ing 15 others.
The Arab Legion forces, whirh
are officered by Britons, are on
loan to the Palestine government
for police duty in the Holy Land.
Demands for withdrawal of the
forces coincided with a grenade at
tack on a truckload of Arab Legion
troops near the Mustapha police
barracks in Jerusalem. One sol
dier was injured in the bombing.
A spokesman for Hagana de
clared that “failure of the British
to evacuate these foreign troops
will be considered a British provo
cation against the Jewish defense
forces.”
A Jawish agency official, who
also demanded withdrawal of the
Arab Legion, said legionnaires had
attacked Jews in at least three
places yesterday.
Overland transport throughout
Palestine—already badly disrupt
ed—was further demoralized by
the convoy attack yesterday. Food
supplies in Jerusalem and other
cities ran low .as the Holy Land
began to feel the pinch of broken
communication resulting from 16
days of bitter communal strife that
has claimed 242 lives.
