force as called for in the money
bill is 4.753,100 officers and men.
This breaks down ‘all forces com
bined*: 1,644,300 regular, 2,709,
300 organized reserves, 399,300 na
tional guard.
Besides these allotments the
measure carries $3,700,000 for the
national security resources board
and $189,000,000 for retirement
pay for all the services.
Meanwhile, the House was in
extraordinary session to take up
the $5,580,000,000 European Re
covery program.
The Senate yesterday approved
the plan by a landslide of 70 to 7
votes after 13 days of wrangling
debate. Even administration back
ers were startled by the lopsided
victory.
Both Democratic and Republi
can leaders predicted House ap
proval, and speaker Rayburn (D.
Tex.) said he expected it by a
“great majority.”
The bill approved by the House
foreign affairs committee is slight
ly different from the one passed
by the Senate. This means after
House approval, expected early
next week, two measures must
be compromised by a joint House
Senate committee before final
passage.
