IZVESTIA," the kept newspaper

ment, commenting on the U. S.
senate subcommittee investigation
of Senator McCarthy's charges that
the State department is infested by
Communists, says:
"Clowns from the Senate are
making themselves the laughing
stock of the world ... the investi

performance by circus clowns and
amateur night ia an insane
asylum."

I'M afraid that for once in its long

The McCarthy ruckus isn't an edi

ON the other hand, Iivestia's

McCarthy makes us wonder. After
all, being attacked by a Communist
newspaper is a high honor.
It's a screwball world, mates.

House Slashes

O. O. P. Attack Forces
Quarter BiUiof Cut By
Mortjln Of Two Votes
WASHINGTON, March 29 -(.TV-Republicans
clamoring for deep
slashes in government spending to
day pressed an advantage won in
a $250,000,000 cut in the 1951 foreign
economic aid program.
Republican economy strength
won its first real test yesterday
when the House tentatively lopped
a quarter billion dollars from Eu
ropean recovery funds. The vote
was 165 to 163.
This reduced the administration's
Marshall plan program for western
Europe from $2,950,000,000 to $2,
700,000.000 in new authorizations.
Still to come under fire were aid
to Korea and China, and requests
for funds to launch President Tru
man's "point .four" program of
technical assistance to underde
veloped areas of the world.
All are parts of the administra
tion's $3,372,450.000 less $250,000.
000, now program of all foreign
economic aid during the 12 months
starting July 1.
The foreign aid cut was only half
of what the GOP economy drive
was shooting for.
Before whacking $250,000,000 of
Europe's Marshall plan aid, the
House administered a 152-to-137 de
feat to a GOP-backed drive to re
duce it by $500,000,000.
As the House continued with the
foreign aid bill today, Republican
strategists still were far from
agreement on the larger question of
how to make substantial cuts in a
pending $29,000,000,000 domestic ap
propriations bill.
With House action on foreign aid
unlikely before tomorrow, leadera
said they doubt if the big money
bill can be cleared before the House
starts its planned Easter recess a
week away, March 30.
Republicans already ar threat
ening a filibuster of sorts if the
Democrats try to fore th bill to
vote before Easter.

Gunman Thrice
Visits Teller To
Rob Seattle Bank
SEATTLE, March 29 UP)
A strong-nerved gunmen made
three trips to a bank teller's win
dow late yesterday before calmly
walking out clutching a paper bag
stuffed with $22,618. .
Police efforts to head him off
with road blocks at bridges a nit
ferry landings, and thorough
searches of city buses in the
vicinity were unsuccessful.
The scene of the holdup was the
West Seattle National b.nk.
When the lone bandit first en
tered the bank, he approached the
window of teller Jack Frost. The
employe, busy counting pennies
and thinking the man a customer,
told him to come back later.
Some 10 minutea later he did,
clicked the aafety of a German
Luger pistol and told Frost:
"You know what I want."
Frost walked to the front of the
bank where cashier Thomas C.
Erhart waa standing. Both men
then were ordered back to the
cage, the bandit talking so quietly
that other employes were unaware
of what was happening.
After Frost handed over the
money in his cage, the gunman
turned to teller Paul B. Allen in
the next cage, asking for more.
Allen said he had very little mon
ey there and closed the drawer.
Thus rebuffed, the bandit turned
and walked quickly from the bank
and disappeared into a parking lot
a short distance down the street
He wss gone by the time police,
summoned by telephone, arrived.
The lone clue waa a ragged
leather holster found in a service
station restroom across the street.
