He called for a “MacArthur

of the European Marshall plan anti
asserted a billion dollars a year
should be spent to fight commun

A dozen non-communist nations
pledge themselves today to joint
action in the face of aggression.
The United States, Britain,
France, Belgium, the Netherlands,
Luxembourg, Italy, Norway. Den
mark, Iceland and Portugal are to
sign the North Atlantic security
alliance at 3 p.m. <EST> in Wash
ington.
The signing by the foreign min
isters of the 12 nations is the next
to the last step to bring the Atlan
tic treaty into full force. The final
step is ratification by the signa
tory nations.
In the U. S. Senate, which mus‘
ratify the treaty, there were signs
that a reservation would be asked
barring any advance commitment
by the United States to re-arm Eu
rope.
The signing of the treaty, de
nounced by Russia as “obviously
aggressive,” comes a day before
the reopening of the United Na
tions general assembly in New
York. Originally scheduled to deal
with items of unfinished business
from the Paris session, the assem
bly now faces an agenda of sever
al new and explosive items.
Bolivia has requested the as
sembly to take up a complaint
against Hungary in the case of im
prisonment of Josef Cardinal
Mindszenty; Australia seeks an
airing of the Bulgarian trial and
imprisonment of Protestant pas
tors; India and Australia want the
Indonesian- Netherlands dispute
back on the assembly agenda.
In addition some delegates may
bring up the Berlin crisis and the
North Atlantic Alliance, against
which Russia is expected to ex
press her anger.
The U. S. Senate began its ninth
day of debate on authorization of
$5,580,000,000 for the European
recovery program, with economy
advocates making new attempts to
cut the appropriation. Before the
Senate was an amendment to add
a new section to the bill under
which S54.000.000 remaining in a
former fund voted for China could
be used for relief of non-commun
ist Chinese areas. Authority to
spend the money ran out Satur
day. The bill would restore the
China fund and continue it to Feb. j
15.
In Nanking, top Chinese gov
ernment leaders warned that any
attempt by communist forces to
cross the Yangtze river would re
sult in withdrawal of nationalist
peace delegates in Peiping. Com
munist troops have been attack
ing Nanking, important Yangtze
city.
The United Nations had one
bright spot in an otherwise rather
gloomy picture for its re-opening.
On, the island of Rhodes, Trans
Jordan and Israel have signed an
armistice which virtually ends the
Palestine war.
The agreement was the third
concluded by Israel with her Arab

and Lebanon. Only Syria remains
of the active combatants against
Israel, and Syrian-Israeli talks
probably will begin Wednesday, a
Syrian spokesman said.
Yugoslavs reasserted their loy
alty yesterday to Premier-Marshal
Tito, under fire by the Moscow

Leningrad. A full dress parade
threaded through the streets of
Belgrade hailing Tito. It was a
preliminary to the meeting late
this week of the People’s Front
Congress, which approves laws
proposed by the government.
In Costa Rica, the second revolt
in four months has been crushed

of the revolt, in custody.
