In testimony before the House

Foreign Affairs Committee, ' he gave his opinion on the question that had been on most American minds. . Replying to a pointed question from Representative Mark Mansfield, D., Mont., as to whether this new policy would lead to war, Acheson said: "No. I was going to say that there is no possibility that it would lead to war. I don't see how it could. By strengthening the forces of democracy anS freedom and economy, it. will mean a great deal in reducing the . friction and eliminating a situation between powers." Mansfield's question did not specify which country the United States might become involved, in a war with, but it was abvious that Acheson's reference to Com- ! munism and to countries north of , Greece Mansfield had Russia .n mimj , Acheson said today that the collapse of Greece might set off a "chain of events" leading to a Communist dictatorship in both Greece and Turkey. Collapse of these two countries would have a profound effect on the world as they "link the East and the West," he said. His testimony overshadowed aH other Congressional development which included: fTaxes Republican members of "the" House Ways and Means Committee agreed tentatively today to a 20 per cent cut to taxpayers who had a net Income of $1,000 or less. The cut would be from 20 per cent for those, making less than $1,000 to 3 per . cent for those making $200,000. The proposal still must be approved by the full committee, ; both the House and the . Senate, and ' by President Truman. Housing Fiorello LaGuardia . told the Senate that the nation faces "chaos" unless large scale, j low rental housing is started.
