SENATE
S250 MILUOH PARED
OFF MARSHALL PLAN
Washington, May 5 U.R) The senate knocked $250 million
from the administration's $3,100,000,000 Marshall plan budget to
day after rejecting proposals for deeper cuts.
The vote for the quarter of a billion cut was 47 to 33.
The reduction was voted after the administration had blocked
on a 40 to 40 tie vote another amendment to cut $500 million from
the program for next year. Previously an amendment for a $1
billion cut had been overwhelmed, 62 to 17.
The senate cut was exactly the same as that approved by the
house in its own foreign aid measure. Economy forces in both
houses, however, will get a second crack at the Marshall plan when
they get around to voting on bills appropriating the actual aid
funds. Today's bill is an authorization measure.

GOP Sponsorship
The various moves to trim
the Marshall plan were offered
under republican sponsorship as
amendments to the administra
tion's foreign aid bill which was
schedulel for passage late today.
Cries of alarm over the size of
the federal deficit punctuated re
publican arguments for the
amendments. Chairman Tom
Connally (D., Tex.), of the for
eign relations committee, led the
fight against them with help
from Sens. H. Alexander Smith
(R., N. J.) and Henry Cabot
Lodge (R., Mass.).
Democrats Send Call
The democrats sent out a hur
ry call for Vice-President Alben
W. Barkley as that vote got un
der way. But since the amend
ment was beaten by the tie he
did not bother to cast a vote, as
he is entitled to do in case of a
senate deadlock.
The billion-dollar cut was pro
posed oy sen. James F. Kern (R.,
Mo.). The $500 million reduction
was offered by five GOP sen
ators Robert A. Taft (O.), Styles
Bridges (N. H.), Irving M. Ives
(N. Y.), Bourke B. Hickenlooper
da.j ana Honert C rlendnckson
(N. J.).
Bridges then offered the
amendment for a $250 million
cut and easily picked up the
votes needed for its adoption.

America Gives
Warning to Russia
Washington, May 5 (U.R)
The United States warned Rus
sia today that her continued
false charges in the Baltic plane
incident are "a further obstacle
to the establishment of peaceful
relations among nations."
The soviet government," the
United States said, "must bear
the responsibility both for the
action of its air force and for
the manner in which it has dealt
with this incident.
Contention Denied

States must warn the govern
ment "of the Soviet socialist re
publics of the seriousness with
which it regards the attitude of

that a B-29 had violated Soviet
territory and exchanged fire
with Russian fighter planes.

the open waters of the Baltic sea

Portland, Ore., May 5 (U.R)
Forty thousand CIO woodwork
ers in 700 mills, plywood plants,
logging operations and other
woodworking plants in five
northwest states have voted to
strike May 15 to support de
mands for paid holidays and a
health and welfare program.
The scheduled strike was an
nounced today by President
James E. Fadling of the Inter
national Woodworkers of Amer
ica on the basis of a "large ma
jority" of members who Fadling
said voted on the strike question.
Fadling did not release the
number of votes cast but he said
picket lines would be out May
15 if union demands were not
filled by operators.
Life Policy Asked
IWA demands include a health
and welfare program that would
include a $3,000 life insurance
policy with double indemnity
for accidental death or dismem
berment, $40 a week sick bene
fits for 26 weeks off the job, and
$20 a week for 26 weeks to sup
plement "inadequate workmen's
compensation pay," and employer-paid
hospitalization, sur

rently are negotiating with oper
ators over union demands for 17
cents an hour pay increase and a

a tornado flattened at least 25 per cent of the homes.
Bill Kling, 40, died in a Perryton hospital early
today and two others were in serious condition from
injuries received in the twister. Fourteen were in

The tornado was bom of the same mass of tur
bulent air that sent twisters funneling through Great

Okla.
Southern Warm Wave

The violent storms resulted
when a southern warm wave
bumped into cold breezes from
Canada.
At least 66 persons were in

more than 40 persons were
treated by nurses and firemen

New York, May 5 (U.R) New
York state politicians today saw
Thomas E. Dewey emerging as a
candidate for a third term as
governor and possibly as a seek

They were impressed by the
"draft Dewey" demonstration
which broke out at a $100-a-plate
state republican dinner last night
after the New York governor had
attacked the democratic party as
"the big money party" which ac
cepted the support of gangsters,
subversives and "wealthy play
boys" to stay In power.
Shouting, parading Dewcyites
almost delayed his state-wide
broadcast on the American
Broadcasting company network.
They cheered him lustily each
time he made reference to
charges of communist infiltra
tion in the state department, to
the Charles Blnaggio slaying In
Kansas City and to the Alger

Dewey gave no hint, however,
