Sunrise tomorrow S:4S a.m Established 1873 Foreign Aid Bill Is Facing New Attacks WASHINGTON, April 1. lit A $3,102,450,000 administration for eign aid bill, passed by the House i after a week of rough handling. fared fresh attacks today from both sides capitol hill. As the measure headed for the Senate in what administration leaders called "good shape," House opponents laid plans to launch a new onslaught when de bate starts on a bill providing money for the various world re covery programs involved. Administration leaders ex pressed the belief they could save the measure from serious damage in either chamber of Congress. It sailed through the House last night on a 287 to 86 vote, after a week of battering by Republicans and southern Democrats. While its total waa $270,000,000 less than the state department wanted, the bill was stripped at the last moment of two administration-opposed amendments. One would have tied up $1,000,000,000 of the total for the purchase of farm commodities in this country; the other would have halted aid to Britain while Ireland remained partitioned. In addition, the measure con tained the controversial "point four" program intended to help backward friendly nations get on their feet through technical assis tance from the United States. How ever, the program was cut almost in half. The senate foreign relations com mittee has approved a companion measure without the point four j provision but otherwise almost the same as uie Mouse version. the benate committer has called on the administration for more in formation on point four, but House leaders said they are sure the Se nate will include the project in the bill. Regardless of what the Senate does, the House will get another crack at the entire measure after its Easter recess starting next Fri day. Actual cash to breathe life into those programs is to be provided in an omnibus appropriation bill on which the House will start de bate next week. U. S.

Even before the returns are in from the 17th the biggest nose-count in the nation's history, officials have a pretty good idea what it will show for the total popu lation: About 151 ,000,000, plus an-, other 4.000.000 or so in the terri tories and possessions. But the 145.000 census takers are seeking other information as well, in their once-every-ten-years door to-door quit: Your name, addresa, age, sex, race, marital atatus, oc cupation, income, whether you own your own home . . . about 60 basic questions in all. The farm census forms, which went out by mail about a week ago, contain some 300 questions, but a farmer will have to answer only those which apply to him. Harry Bridges Jury Still Out SAN FRANCISCO, April l.-f.W Smiling and altogether affable, the jurors in the Harry Bridges perjury trial assembled today for further discussion of a verdict. They reached the jury room promptly at 9 a. m. PST, after a short ride from their hotel. They smiled and nodded to reporters and court attaches. One of the eight men on the panel wore a jaunty sports jacket. As the 12 filed past the open press room door, he professed amaze ment to see reporters sitting around the tables. "Don't you fel lows ever sleep?" he asked in mock surprise. The case, of record length, was given to the jurors yesterday.

By law, the answers to the ques tions can be used only for statisli strictly confidential otherwise. Officially, the reason for the census is to determine anew how many house members will be al lotted to each state. The number is based on a population count. California is expected to be the big gainer this year, picking up about seven seats. BABY'S CRY?

The posse searched long and diligently and came up with a find not an abandoned infant, but a very vocal lamb whose klpata rmhlft a rhiM'c erv Chief Howard thanked his help ers for the aid the police de partment receives in emergencies and declared, "We take all police reports seriously until a thorough investigation is made."

The charge against Anderson and the deputies came from the community of Meadow Glade, where Jo Ann's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Dewey, lived.

April 1. General Dwight D. Eisenhower to day proposed a three-point pro gram for stiffening (he nation's defenses. Senator Elmer Thomas (D- Okla), who received the written recommendations of the wartime allied commander in Europe, told a reporter they call for: 1. Strengthening Alaska and Us maior airfields against surprise airborne attack, by a permanent torce of well-trained and equipped ground troops and a radar screen to detect and warn against air forays. 2. Assurance that the 48 group first-line air force is equipped with the most modern aircraft and backed up by a powerful reserve of 12 well-equipped Air National Guard groups. 3. Sufficient funds for the Navy to start a special anti-submarine force, including destroyers, small aircraft carriers, aircraft and other special equipment. Thomas said the letter rultmed Eisenhower's promise to senators to spell out changea he would make in President Truman's $14 billion defense budget for the 1951 fiscal year starting July 1, Eisenhower, now president of Columbia university, appeared at a public session of the senate armed services committee and mentioned these programs without putting a priority upon them. Thomas, chairman of the ap propriations group, ssid he will support the Eisenhower proposals, recalling that the general had esti mated they would "cost from three to five hundred million dollars, part of which might be saved by trimming other items." As State Grows, So Does Problem PORTLAND. April 1 m While Oregon grows, so does Its problem of summer boom and winter slump. So warned Governor McKay here yesterday at a meeting of the state advisory council on employ ment. Ways must be found, he said, to keep payrolls at even keel the year around. "We have grown four times as fast in the last decade as any time before, and we must avoid these peaks and dips in employ ment. Because so many of our main industries are seasonal lumber, fishing, resorts and agri culture we have many problems to solve to attain a stable econ omv." he said. The council discussed 1 number of suggested solutions includ ing elimination of lumber waste and formation of new industries, encouragement for small industry and planning of odd jobs for alack seasons.

McCarthy haa accused Lattimore of bciig the top Communist agenl 2 Republicans Hit McCarthy Subpoena Talk WASHINGTON. April !.-( Two Republican lawmakeri took exception today to a Democrat's talk of issuing a subpoena for Sena tor Mc Canity's documents on the Owen Lattimore case. Mc Carthy, Wisronsin Republi can, has said he can produce proof that Lattimore (1) is a Soviet ag-jnt and (2) is or has been a member ol the Communist party. Lattimore, an American expert on far eastern atlairs, has called the Mc Carthy charges "an unmitigated lie." Senator Green (U. K. I.) said yes terday in Providence that if Mc Carthy has such proof he should turn it over to tne senate foreign relations aubcommittee which is investigating Mc Carthy's charges that the State Department is har boring Communists and fellow travelers. If the Wisconsin senator won't produce the documents. Green said. it would be logical for the inquiry group to order him to do so. Green, acting chairman of the committee, said he would discuss the matter with other members on his return to Washington. One of the members. Senator Hirkenlooper (R.-Iowa) told a re porter he believes the committee has no right to subpoena Mc Car thy s material. "I think the committee should see the documents," Hickenlonper declared, "but I don't think there is any basia or precedent for sub poenaing material a senator uses in" a Senate speech." Senator Bridges (R.-N. H ), not a member of the committee, com mented: "I have never yet heard of sena tors resorting to service of a sub poena on another aenator, I am sure that if the committee applies itself diligently it will get the full cooperation of Senator Mc Carthy without a subpoena." Mc Carthv outlined his chsrges against Lattimore in a Senate speech Thursday. Two Catholics Enter Guilty Plea In Prague rKAtitiK, czecnosiovaicia, April . before the Senate committee tnves 1.
