France Agrees to Boost
Defenses,
By Robert C Wilson
PARIS, Aug. 7-(iP)-France to
day asked that more American
and British troops be sent to Erf-
rope and pledged to start a two
trillion franc ($5,710,000,000)
three-year rearmament program
with U. S. aid.
.The huge three-year program
would be in addition to the 1950
military budget of 420,000,000,000
francs ($1,200,000,000).
It includes the creation of 15
new French divisions, or about
half the 30 western divisions
which experts have estimated as
the minimum necessary to meet
any communist aggression in Eu
rope. -
This would involve putting 250,
000 more Frenchmen in uniform
and bringing her armed forces to
about 800,000 men.

Gives Truman
Ration, Wage
Price Powers
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7-;Pr-The
senate banking committee tonight
unanimously approved a home
front mobilization bill which
would give President Truman vir
tually full discretion to invoke
wage-price rationing controls.
Chairman Maybank (D-SC),
said, however, that some of the Xi
members reserved the right to op
pose in the senate provisions
dealing with wage-price eairbs and
machinery to handle labor dis
putes.
Senator Capehart (R-Ind) said
he and senators Bricker (R-Ohio)
and Tobey (R-NH) chose such a
right .
The bill. in. addition to provid
ing broad wage-price rationing
powers, would authorize the more
limited economic controls wmcn
Mr. Truman asked from congress
last month.
Include Powers I
-
Those less sweeping curbs in
elude authority to:
1. Allocate scarce industrial ma
terials.
2. Assign priorities to put de
fense production work at the head
of any factories' job sheet
3. Let the government take pri
vately owned plants, if necessary,
4. Curb consumer credit and
real estate construction credit
5. Grant $2,000,000,000 in gov
ernment loans and loan guarantees
to spur defense production.
The committee completed work
on tne dux at an extraordinary
night session after spending near
ly eight hours on the emergency
measure during the day.
Maybank said the committee
wrote into the measure "hundreds
of amendments,'' many of them
technical and most of them of
minor nature, he added.
To Delay Debate
The job of putting those amend
ments into final shape and pre
paring a committee report on the
measure probably will delay the
opening of senate debate on the
bill until Thursday. Maybank said.
The earlier plan nad been to
bring the bill up on Wednesday.
The house meanwhile will make
another effort tomorrow to agree
on some sort of an economic con
trols bill, possibly one patterned
principally after the senate com
mittee measure.
In voting to give Mr. Truman
practically a free hand to impose
overall wage-price-rationing con
trols if and when he saw fit the
senate committee appeared to have
approved substantially the kind of
bill Mr. Truman has said he would
accept

8-(AP)-The first Ameri

miles of the communist' -southern

today. But the reds hurled
a new threat at the United
Nations forces with a dou-ble-bitted
attack at the
northwest corner of the defense
box. The 35th regiment of the army's
25th infantry division made the
deepest penetration in the south
ern drive on Chinju, 55 air miles
west of the all-important beach
head supply funnel of Pusan.
Field dispatches credited th
doughboys with a gain of about
10 road miles in their push along
the Chinju-Pusan highway on the
northern flank of the offensive.
The new treat to "the shrunken
U. N. defense perimeter developed
