WASHINGTON tfl President
Truman asked a critical Congress
Thursday to vote every penny of
his S7,voo.ouo,uuu new giooai f or
eign aid program to meet a Soviet
threat agulnst the "survival of
civilization."
The President, fully aware of
mounting Congressional Ire over
foreign aid spending, will go on
every major radio and television
network at 7:30 P.S.T. Thursday
night to carry his plea to the
pwplc.
Talk of withdrawing to the West
ern hemisphere "has momentary
seductiveness," the President said,
"because it would seem to relieve
us of the contributions we are now
making to collective defense."
But he said the adoption of such
a policy would be a "mandate lor
national suicide." .
The president said the money
he is asking for would be spent to
send arms to America's Allies in
Blurope. to build uo Allied nations
in the Middle and Far East, to
help European countries manufact
ure their own arms, and to raise
the living standards of Red-threatened
nations In Africa and Asia.
Mr. Truman asked for the $7,900,-
000,000 in his budget message to
congress January 21. His total
budget requests added up to B5.-

NO CUTS

out of the proposed program, th:
President asserted, lest una nauon

In a special 7,500 word message,
Mr. Truman anticipated the at
tacks oi critics ana economy novo
cains. He built his argument for carry
ing on the Mutual Security pro
gram around four basic reasons,
which he set forth In these words:
"First, the plain lact Is that we
cannot achieve lasting security for
ourselves except in association with
other nations.
"Second, the funds provided by
the United States under Uie Mutual
Security program are essential to
the success of the common efforts
we are making with ouur free na
tions for peace.
"Third, the funds thus invested
by the United States will yield far
larger returns, in terms oi our own
security, than If the same amount
wero used for our own defense
establishment.
WITHIN CAPACITY
"Fourth, the cost of the Mutual
Security program, together with
the much larger costs of our mili
tary services and other defense
measures, ane well within our eco
nomic capacity."
Despite Mr. Truman's appeal,
administration officials expected a
lough, prolonged fight over the
amount, especially over that part
which would be spent to aid the
economics of Allied nations in con
trast to the billions which would be
spent to furnish them guns, tanks
and planes.
In his message the President re-
penieaiy cmpnasized an American
role of leadership of the "free
world."
He declared "we must show the
world that we can meet any crisis,
nnd that temporary frustration will
Rot drive us to panicky aggression
or to Ignominious retreat."

He said the burden of this cost

The sum covers appropriations

Military and economic assistance
would also go to Yugoslavia and

Furthermore, said Mr. Truman,
"we expect soon to complete ar

purpose have already been nrovid

are needed.
Of the roughtl; two billion dol

buo million would go lor direct mil

certificates to snow mat under a
U.S. treaty of friendship they don't
have to serve In the Army. When
tne drait board lound out tnat was

Lt. col. Charles B. Fitcn of State
Selective Service reported that a
new board had been organized
Thursday and would be functioning
as soon as a presidential com
mission arrives, probably about
April 1. ' .-
REASONS GIVEN
Meanwhile. Movnlhan offered '
some reasons for refusing induction .
and Charles Langdon, head of the
Portland Selective Service Office,
said at least two of them.' were
laulty. ,. ..' ...
Movnlhan said be would not be
entitled to veteran or disability ben
efits. Langdon said aliens get the
same benefits as citizen soldiers.
Movnlhan said his dependents-
he and O'Keefe both are singles-
could not get allotments. Langdon
said tnat was not correct.
No easy citizenship method was
provided through service as there
was during World Wars I and B.
iuoyninan saia.
And, he concluded, as an alien
he could not become an officer.
Recruiters said this was correct.
Carl Pendleton, chairman of tne
board which resigned, added what
he said was another reason good

i Lake County's Irish community,
made up of some 600 U.S. citizens
and Irish nationals, is split on the

ice. Many influential businessmen
oppose it while some of the sheep
ranch workers approve.
Movnlhan. a native of Newmar
ket, County Cork, came to this
country three years ago. He has
not applied for citizenship and
when asked if he intended to ao so
replied with a heavy brogue, "I

But of one thing he says ne is
sure he will not go into the U.S.
