WASHINGTON, (JP) — Britain
was reported Tuesday to have re
quested about $600,000,000 in
American economic aid during

senting Prime Minister Church
ill’s government outlined Brit
ain’s need for American dollars
during talks here last week with
the Economic Cooperation Admin

Americans the British talked
with, the officials said, made ncf

with British-UB. finances re
portedly have concluded Britain
urgently needs American help.

Attorney Gen. McGrath
Testifies To Honesty
Of T. Lamar Caudle
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Attorney
General J. Howard McGrath tes
tified yesterday that President
Truman fired T. Lamar Caudle
on his own motion and without
giving McGrath a “bill of parti
culars.”
McGrath told House tax inves
tigators he had not reconsidered
dismissal of Caudle as an assist
ant attorney general. He said he
felt he could not “question a
presidential appointment pre
viously made” unless he had “real
cause” to suspect the integrity or
honesty of the official.
McGrath added, “So far as I
ever knew or could find out,
Lamar Caudle was honest.”
McGrath told the investigators
at the outset that he held “no
brief” for any “indiscretions” by
Caudle “nor do I presume to pass
judgement on him.”
