Truman Faces
Policy Revolt
French Crisis Affects American Diplomacy
By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Foreign News Editor Secretary of State George C. Marshall spoke out twice and sharply today to beat back growing congressional revolt against key segments of President Truman's foreign policy. : : : The Washington struggle coineided with a first-class political

may widely affect both American policy abrogd amd the whole delieate political structure in Europe. Foreign policy disputes dogged the administration in both the house and the senate. Debate Aid to Greece
Debate was started today in the house on Mr. Truman's $400 million program for halting communism in Greece and Turkey. Mr. Marshall notified the house that the bill “is of the greatest urgency” and should be approved “as expeditiously as possible.” Opponents of the bill paraded to the microphone to label it “disgraceful” and likely to bolster “tyrannical and corrupt governments.” Foes of the measure also prepared 8 barrage of amendments, the adoption of which would radically change the measure. The amendments would: Strip aid to Turkey from the bill. Bar use of American funds for military purposes. Bring ‘the United Nations into 4 major role in the program. Place stringent controls on the use of American funds. “India and China Next”
Chairman Charles A. Eaton (R. N. J) of the house foreign affairs commitfee made a strong appeal for prompt enactment of the program as requested by Mr. Truman. He warned that if Russia “is permitted to take Greece and Turkey,

afforded greater risks than _its adoption. Marshall, Byrnes Testify The administration meanwhile brought strong pressure in the senate for prompt ratification of the Italian and satellite peace treaties. President Truman, Secretary Marshall and former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes told the senators that ratification of the Italian treaty was “vital” to the success of U. S. foreign policy. Mr. Marshall and Mr. Byrnes both appeared in person before the foreign relations committee; Mr. Marshall read Mr. Truman's message to the committee. Opponents of ratification charge ft would strengthen the Russian bloc against-the western powers. Mr. Marshal] said failure to ratify the treaties would “practically dissolve” his efforts for treaties with Germany and Austria. He sajd if the treaties were not ratified the world “would lose all gonfidénce in our leadership.” . Mr. Byrnes, who toiled 15 months for the treaties, said failure to rati-

Hopes for swift settlement of the truck strike rose sharply today as striking teamsters after a mass meeting handed their final terms to negotiators with full power to settle the dispute.
A new conference between the union negotiators and _representatives of the Indiana Motor Truck association was called immediately. The only issue left for settlement was wages.
