Aid To Korea
To Be Asked
$
WASHINGTON, <;P> — An ap
•v>aclvng administration plea for
per drips *75,000,000 to reinforce
southern Korea confronted Con
gress Thursday as the House en
lered the voting stage of its fig.it
over helping Greece and Turkey
•cs;st Communistic domination.
After two full days spent in
general discussion of the $400,
0u,t00 Greek-Turkish aid bill,
me Uou e turned to specific pro
posals for restricting the program
and changing its terms. Chief
among the amendments likely to
be put to a showdown test before
nightfall is one to shift the burden
ti the United Nations.
To a hushed House near the
close of Wednesday’s debate Dem
ote atic leader Rayburn of Texas
cried out against a return to “iso
lationism.'’
In impassioned tones, he declar
ed: “God help us, God help this
world, if we do not accept our re
sponsibility to help countries that
do not want to be smothered by
Communism.”
Even as the House was weigh
ing the price and measuring the
problems of halting the march of
Communism, secretary of state
Marshall was telling a news con
ference—his first since returning
f-orn Moscow — that Congress
would be asked very shortly to
authorize a Korean program.
LONG BEACH. Cali. i.4h — “I
never stopped levin" her,” said
Frank L. Rector, 75, as he ap
plied l'o’* a license to marry Nellie
M. Rector, 76. who divorced him
27 years ago. “She needs me and
I need her,” he added. The wed
ding will take place “in a week
or two.”
Exclusive Rights
Hearing Delayed
WASHINGTON, </P>—1The mar
itime* commission was unable yes
terday to give scheduled consid
eration to possible revision or
abandonment of its formula un
der which exclusive Alaska ship
ping rights would go to Seattle
operators, an official said last
night.
Plans for a meeting to go into
the question further had to be
dropped, he said, because some
commissioners had to appear at a
Congressional committee hearing.
He said the meeting might be
held tomorrow.
The commission recently pro
posed to charter ships at nominal
rate to the prewar operators in
.he trade, all of whom were lo
cated in Seattle, which has been
the hub of U. S. teminus-Alaskan
shipping lines.
Protests were leveled against
this proposal, however, at San
Francisco, Los Angeles and Port
land, Ore., because of ‘‘exclusive
provisions” in the proposed agree
ment with Seattle operators.

just about twice what they are in
the States, and some o', those boys
