WASHINGTON, May 14.—(AP)—T" State Depart
ment issued a new warning today of daniér of a possibl
Russian attack on Western Europe, despite the easing of
cold war tensions brought by the end of the Berlin block
ade. e P
" A new power balance must be
created in Europe, the department
insisted, because present western
defenses are sO weak they actually,
«ipvite military aggress:on.f’ . Al
though Russia was not s'pecxfxcal-
Iy named in this connection, there
was no doubt Russia was meant.
The warning climaxed the first
complete official statement of ad
ministration plans — and argu
ments — for rearming Western
European nations in the Atlantic
Pact, beginning with a $1,130,000,-
000 military aid program this
year.
" Today's pronouncement out
lined the six point military aid
plan for Western European and
other non-Communist nations. It
also gave a preview of the reasons
to be advanced to Congress for the
plan’s adoption.
President Truman, the State
Department said, will present the
aid program to Congress soon. His
recommendations will total $1,450,-
000,000 —the $1,130,000,000 for
Europe in the fiscal year starting
July 1, plus $320,000,000 for
Greece, Turkey, Iran and a few
other countries under Soviet-Com
munist pressure.
In a Nutshell
The State Department summed
up the European military situation,
as it relates to American arms aid,
this way:
At present the power .of the
Western World is centered in the
United States, 3,000 miles from
Europe. The peoples of Western
Europe have been somewhat reas
sured by development of the North
Atlantic Treaty, but they are still
worried about invasion dangers.
The United States. “must. assist”
the countries to develop the power
needed to resist invasion. ¢
The “peace paper” summarized
President Truman’s forthcoming
recommendations to Congress un
der six points:
1. All U. S. foreign miiltary aid
should be wrapped up in a single
program (which the State Depart
ment would administer.)
2. This program should be fi
nanced by a single appropriation
amount of $1,450,000,000 — and
bundling in the aid to both Euro
pean and non-European free na
tions.
Fiexibie Use
3. President Truman should
have “authority to make flexible
use of these funds”—in othe
words, the President and his dep
uties should be given a free mind
by Congress in varying the pro
gram to meet threats, dangers anc
situations as they arise, ke
4. Western Europe should have
priority help since the importance
of that area “to our security has
:Jeen demonstrated in two world
vars,”
9. Military aid, while separate
from the Atlantic Treaty, should
be extended to the European na
?lon§ in keeping with the treaty’s
‘self-help and mutual aid” prin
ciples.
_ 6. The aid should go to Europe
In three ways — (A) A smal
dmount of dollars to step up Euro
bean arms production (B) Arms
shipments to bring military forces
Yp to strength and (C)y U. S
training and technical assistance.
The State Department did nos
pin itself down &t this time to an
estimate of the number of year
that may be required to restore
the European balance of power,
:‘r"lth American aid. It did refer tc
€ projects plan as an “interim’
Program; It spoke of the “pro
grams for subsequent years” bu’

Big 4 Near
Accord On
German Trade
BERLIN, May 14 — (AP)—
American sources said the three
western powers and Soviet Russia
reached “almost complete agree
ment” today on the mechanics of
restoring Germany’s East-West
trade and that a full agreement is
likely next Wednesday.
From then on, said Lawrence F.
Wilkinson, economic adviser to the
U. S. military government, inter
zonal German commerce should
start leaping. At the moment,
despite the lifting of the blockade
Thursday, it is merely a dribble.
Simultaneously the United
States, Britain and France ap
proved limited self rule for west
ern Berlin, and the Russians de
clared their intention te resume
reciprocal deliveries to members
of the inter-Allied reparations
agency in return for reparations
delivered to her from western
Germany in the past.
The economic advisers of the
big four military governments
wound up three days of ‘confer
ences late this afternoon.
Russia seeks the revival of old
East-West German trade agree
ments which were suspended when
the Russians blockaded west Ber
lin last June. The western powers
have contended the agreements
are outmoded, violate the current
supply-and-demand markets and
are based on a single mark cur
rency for all Germany, since sup
planted by west marks and east
marks for which there is no com
pletely satisfactory exchange for
mula.
Wilkinson said the meetings
would be suspended until Wednes
day, to give all a chance to work
out new trade charts. He said it
is likely that the “ful] agreement”
will be signed, sealed and deliver
ad that day.
WASHINGTON, May 14.—(AP)—Experts who advise

President Truman, in his bud

The government has a national

The congressional tax advisers

he flow of tax money into the
reasury fluctuates pretty much
with the rise and fall of individual
ind corporate earnings, because of

The e:t:iperts said they made their
issumption of a low er level of
yusiness activity after consulting
‘outstanding economic analysis”
n private business and the gov
'rnment.
“The assumed decline is moder
\te,” they said, “and does not take

yenditures above the leval fore
sast in the January budget, or any
ther possible increases in tax
‘ates.”

Abolishes
State Guard
ATLANTA, May 14—AP)—
Gov. Herman Talmadge today
officially abolished the Geor
gia State Guard, organized for
home defense during World
War II while the Georgia Na
tional Guard was away from
the state.
The Governor ordered the
State Guard to turn all its
property and equipment over
to the State Department of
Public Safety or the Military
Department, whichever owned
it before the State Guard was
arganized.. e
Only two men were left on
the State Guard payroll at the
time of the executive order.
They were Col. Lee Purdom,
of Blackshear, and Lt. Col. A.
V. Bradiey, of Atlanta. These
two officers had been retained
to clear up State Guard prop
erty records with the federal
and state governments.
named Colin Stam heads the add
ing machine and slide-rule brig
ade which advises the joint com
mitiee on internal revenue taxa
tion, the top tax men in the House
and Senate. Stam and his crew
are familiarly known as “tax
perts” around the capitol.
The tax experts reported their
conclusions to the committee to
day, but .made no recommenda
tions on what should be done
about federal finances.
Their report, in fact, could fur
fiish additional = arguments for
those who want taxes increased as
well as those who demand tight
pocket economy.

DIXIE DEMO I
WASHINGTON, May 14.—(AP)
—A Southern Democratic sena
tor said today he has decided to
join in sponsoring a Republican
written substitute for the admin
istration’s Taft - Hartley repeal
bill.
Senator Ellender (D.-La.) said
he has accepted an invitation to
be a co-sponsor extended to him
by Senator Taft (R.-Ohio), onec
of the three GOP authors of the
substiute measure.
Ellender predicted shat per
haps a half dozen other South
ern Democrats in the Senate also
probably will put their names on
the substitute in a few days.
The measure backed by Tafi
and Senators Smith (R.-N.J.)
and Donnell (R.-Mo.) would
nake more than a score of
shanges in the Taft-Hartley law,
but—in Taft’s words—would re
tain “the best features” of that
law.
The administration bill, on the
other hand, would junk the T-H
.aw and replace it with a modi
fied version of the old Wagner
Act.
The Taft-Smith-Donnell sub
ititute is in the form of five big
mendments to the administra
tion measure.
Ellender told a reporter he and
last have not decided whether
@llenders’ name will go on all
jve parts of the substitute.
- The strategy, it was under
stood, is to get as broad a spon
sorship of ther+substitute as pos
\sible on both the GOP and the
Democratic sides of the Senate
l aisle.
Tliender made it clear, how
ever, that generally speaking he
is for the substitute as a whole
because he feels it “preserves the
Sirit of the Taft-Hartley law.”
