Quick Support
WASHINGTON, Sept 4 -4JPh
Sen. Elbert Thomas (D-Utah)
predicted today quick senate
passage of President Truman's
program of arms aid; to friendly
nations once it finally gets to
the floor. i 1 !
Thomas expects committee ap
proval of an amended bill will
be forthcoming shortly but then
it will have to wait until the sen
ate gets through arguing tariffs.
This may take two weeksj even
longer. The tariff bill, better
known as reciprocal trades legis
lation, is the first; major task be
fore the senate when it returns
Wednesday from Its vacation.
Arms aid was tagged "urgent'
by the administration and j mill
tary leaders who backed it in
Capitol Hill hearings. Mr.! Tru
man asked for $1,430,000,000 cash
to begin arming western European
and other nations to-forestall any
Russian aggressive ' ideas. The
house slashed it $580,495,000 and
sent it to the senate.is"' ,
GOP Leader Wfejrjfy of Nebras
ka said: "The "arms program
launched by the j administration,
if carried out, would be j sheer
waste of the American taxpayers'
money." ', l
He, said "The most effective de
fense against possible Russian ag
gression woulid be an invincible
United States air force, with bases
strategically situated In Europe,
Africa and the Pacific."

Bolivian Loyalists Recapture
Gties After Heavy Fighting
LA PAZ, Bolivia, Sept. 4-WVLoyal government troops radioed
from Potosi today that they had recaptured both that city and Sucre
from rightist revolutionaries. .
The two cities lie about 60 miles apart in the tin mining region of
the high Andes southeast of La Paz.
Both have been strongholds of rebels led by the ultra-Nationalist
revolutionary party (MNR) in
this country's nine-day-old civil
wv !
Both have been the scene of
confused battles since yesterday
morning, under attack by govern
ment troops trying to break the

as new fighting broke out between
loyal troops aided by university
students and rebels who swarm
ed back into the town from sur
rounding hills.
Tonight's radio message from
the Loyal forces also cleared up
the status of Sucre, seat of the na
tion's judicial system.
Earlier Ithe government had Is
sued and then withdrawn a claim
to its recapture. A rebel broadcast
had claimed the city was still un
der rebel control but acknowledg
ed heavy fighting was In progress.
Fall of the two cities follows a
statement by the general staff last
night that "certain victory" Is in
sight for Bolivia's threatened
middle-of-the-road government.
It leaves the rebels, who once
controlled most . of the southern
half of the country, compressed in
a rough triangle about 250 miles
to the side in southeastern Boli
via, some 250 to 500 miles from
La Pax. I ,

2 Communists
Executed for
Chungking Fire
'0
(Story also on page 1)
! CANTON. Monday. Sept 5 -iJPh
Reports from Chungking to
day said two communists were
executed yesterday as arson sus
pects in the week-end fire that
reportedly killed 1,000 persons
and ravaged the city's downtown
banking and waterfront area.
The official central news agen
cy reported in addition to 1.000
dead that 7,000 buildings were
burned and more than 100,000 were
homeless in the Yangtze river city
that was China's refugee 'capital
during World War II.
Authorities charged that one of
the two executed, a pharmacist
named Chang tihi-Tseng, had
stored combustible material in his
home for the purpose of arson.
They said Chang Tse-Chi was
caught trying to damage fire hose
during the height of the disastrous
blaze.
The fire started about . 4 p.m.
Friday and raged for 18 hours. Its
cause was unknown. Whipped by
a strong wind, it spread with dev
astating speed, unchecked as the
water supply failed.
The agency said 615 charred
bodies were found in the ruins and
that more than 400 were drowned
when the leaped into the Yangtze
river to try to escape. It said some
of the missing must have been
completely cremated. Many vic
tims were women and children
Many of the structures in the
district were crude mud and bam
boo dwellings, but many banks and
warehouses also were gutted.
