Acheson Opposes Proposal
Of Vandenberg For Arms Aid
For Europe On Stop-Gap Basis
WASHINGTON, Aug.
Secretary ot Slate Acheson flatly
rejected today a proposal by Sen
ator Vandenberg (RMich.) that
Congress provide onlv stop-gap
arms aid to Western Europe until
next year.
Acheson told the Michigan sen
ator, who has been a leading sup
porter of the bl partiwn foreign
policy, that such a course would
be little more than a gesture.
In an obvious reference to Rus
sia, Acheson told the Senate for
eign relations and armed serv
ices committees:
"In dealing with the forces
with which we are dealing, you
gain no advantage by assuming
an attitude. We must deal in
realities. The sooner we fill the
vacuum of military weakness in
Europe, the better It will be for
our own security.
Vandenberg contended that the
Administration's $1,450,000,000
arms program sets a pattern for
the military delense or western
Europe before the council to be
formed under the North Atlantic
treaty has come into being and
set up a defense committee to
maxe military plans.
He complained that the United
States is going ahead without
consulting its North Atlantic al
lies. He said that he favors in
stead an Interim program which
will show clearly that this coun
try Intends to furnish arms, but
will not preclude further Joint
planning.
Vandenberg asked Acheson If
he would "resist the idea" of pro
ceeding with a stop-gap that
would "demonstrate our attitude
at the moment but wait until the
next session of Congress for pass
ing upon the pattern of the total
program."
"Yes, Senator Vandenberg. I
would resist that," Acheson re
plied quietly. "I think we must go
forward on both fronts."
He favored furnishing military
aid while strategic plans are be
ing drawn under the treaty.
Weakness Invites Attack
Acheson told the combined Sen
ate committees earlier today that
Congress should approve foreign
arms aid because "the United
States is open to attack on Its
own territory to a greater extent
than ever before."
In a prepared statement Ache
son told the senators that the
Western Euroix-an allies of the
vtt c-.. , .
uiuieu oimrs are now so weaK i
in military power that their sit
uation Is an Invitation to any1
would-be aggressor to strike.
"The first line of defense is still
in Europe," Acheson said, "but
our European allies do not have
the military capacity to hold that
line."
The Secretary said that Russia
is maintaining the largest armed
forces in the peacetime history
of any country. And, he added,
Moscow "has used or attempted
to use Its obvious military su
periority to intimidate and co
erce, smaller nations."
Nothing For China
Acheson turned thumbs down
on proposed military aid for Chi-
nas Nationalist government.
"We do not feel justified in ask
ing arms for China or for the Ear
East as a whole," the Secretary
said in reply to a question by
Senator Smith (R NJ.).
A group of 12 senators has in
troduced an amendment to the
arms bill to earmark $175,000,
000 for aid to China.
Acheson said a "small
amount" which could be used In
the Ear East at the discretion of
the President would be helpful.
Senator's Charae Of Subversives In f
U. N. Organization Draws Sharp Retor
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 -.P
Senator McCarran (D.-Nev.)
Monday told the Senate that per
sons have gone "directly from
fields of subversive activity" in
the United States to positions of
authority in the United Nations.
He declared "two tvpical ex
amples" are Ludwig Rajchman,
executive director of the UN In
ternational emergency children's
fund, and Norman Corwin. Mc
Carran saH Corwin's appoint
ment as a member of the radio
division of the UN department of
Information was announced by
the international agency last
March 8.
"If the case of Norman Corwin
were an Isolated Instance,"- the
senator said, "it would not be so
greatly disturbing. It Is, unfor
tunately, characteristic of a num
ber of people who have been se
lected to serve in the secretariat
of the United Nations."
McCarran is chairman of a
Senate judiciary subcommittee
which has been investigating the
entrance of allegedly subversive
persons Into this country.
LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 9. (IP
Norman Corwin said Monday I
believe I am a vastly better pa
triot" than Senator McCarran
(D.-Nev.).
"At least," said Corwin. a writ
er in the radio division of the
United Nations, "I have worked
at the job of helping to broaden
an appreciation of American in
stitutions, our democracy and our
form ol government. My sent!
ments have never been secret
from any one and are on record
in print and on transcriptions for
every one to see.
Corwin issued a statement re
peating previous denials that he
was a communist.

to care for themselves at the age
of three weeks.

Next Sundsu i3 a big clay for Jeanne Determann
Sunday evening, a little after 8: 30
o'clock, the announcer on the
Standard Hour will say...
"Now, a young artist we believe
has a great future in music will en
tertain you Jeanne Dctermann,
soprano from Los Angeles."
And Jeanne, who works as a secretary, will sing for the first
time with a great symphony orchestra ... for an audience of
nearly a million people.
We don't know what this chance will mean to Jeanne,
but similar Sunday evenings have been very important in the ca
reers of many singers and musicians CUramac Turner, contralto,
and Jerome Mines, basso, both with the Metropolitan Opera
Company, Dorothy Warcnskjold, soprano with the San Francisco
Opera Association, Paulcna Carter, comvrt pianist, and others.
For it is our policy on the oldest of all symphony network
broadcasts to help talented young people whenever possible...
so that, from time to time, the hour that's yours can also be theirs.
