Arms Aid Fund
In Entirety Given
Committee OK
WASHINGTON. Aug. lt-UPt
The House foreign affairs com
mittee Monday approved the full
emu-ant asked by President Tru
man for western Europe Arms
aid. The committee, however,
split it up between cash and con
tract authority.
The committee also refused to
Include any authorization for an
armid program for non-communist
China.
It split the western Europe fund
into two allotments, one to be
used up to next March 31 and the
other to finance the program be
tween March 31 and June 30, 1950.
' The President had requested
$1,160,990,000 to help Atlantic
pact nations arm against aggres
sion. He wanted it all in cash.
The committee decided to give
It this wav:
Cash: (98.130,000 to be used
up to next March 31, and $157.
710.000 to be used between March
31 and June 30.
Contract authorization: $428.
100.000 up to March 31 and $77.
OjO.OOO from March 31 to June 30.
The House committee acted
shortly after Senators Vanden
berg (RMlch) and Dulles (It
NY) had moved to shave $160,
990.000 off the program.
The two senators also proposed
a series ot amendments aimed
at meshing the program into a
North Atlantic defense plan to
be drafted under terms of the
recently-approved security treaty-
Vandenberg told a news con
ference the amendments he and
Dulles have drafted would per
mit recapture of any equipment
furnished by this country "if the
program goes sour."
They also would permit Con
gress, acting by concurrent res
olution which does not require a
presidential signature, to end aid
to any nation at any time.
Vandenberg and Dulles propos
ed to limit aid to wesiern Euro
pean countries to $1,000,000,000
Instead of the $1,160,990,000 pro
posed in the pending bill.

Freed Gold Star
Mother, Hoping
For VA Action
BOUNTIFUL, Utah, Aug. 16
.V) Mrs. Nellie W. Canos said
Monday she hoped Veterans ad
ministration officials would un
dertake Jul I her local action In a
dispu'e which sent her to Jail for
11 days.
The Gold Star mother was
freed Saturday after she served
part of a 30-day Jail sentence for
contempt of court. She was re
leased after she deposited $1,200
with district court officials to be
placed In a trust fund for the
benefit of her grandchildren.
A full account of the case has
been sent to the Veterans ad
ministration, Mrs. Capps sail,
and VA officials will determine
whether further legal action is
possible.
Mrs. Capps was defendant In a
suit brought by the former wife
of her son, Jacob L. Capps, who
was killed during World War
two. The sons cx-wlie, now Mrs,
Maureen Stam of Monterey,
Calif., twice re-married after her
separation from Capps.
She sued to obtain proceeds
irom Lapps national service lite
Insurance policy, which first
named her as beneficiary but
which later was changed to name
ine soicner s moiner. The court
ruled that Mrs. Capps should en
dorse checks received as bene
ficiary, placing them in a trust
fund for the benefit of Capps'
children, who are in custody of
Mrs. Stam.
State Supreme Court upheld
the district court ruling in Mrs.
Ptam's favor, and U.S. district
court held it had no jurisdiction.
Mrs. Capps said she hoped the
Veterans administration now will
take the rase to the VS. Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Pending final settlement, Mrs.
Capps said the Veterans admin
istration had agreed to withhold
payment of further benefits from
the policy. By not receiving the
checks, Mr. Capps explained she
could not be held in contempt
again because the court order af
fected only funds she actually
received.
