Taft, Eisenhower, Stassen Meet In New Jersey Vote
Washington—(U.P.)—Taft, Eisenhower and Stassen forces, already fighting an all-out battle for Republican votes in New Hampshire, headed today for a second three-way collision in New Jersey's preferential primary.
Today was the deadline for filing in the April 15 New Jersey contest, and backers of the three GOP presidential candidates indicated they would all bid for New Jersey's fat bloot of 38 convention votes. Only 14 convention seats are at stake in New Hampshire, which stages the nation's first primary next Tuesday.
Across the continent, another leading GOP contender, Gov. Earl Warren of California, said he would file in the neighboring Oregon primary. Eisenhower's name is already entered there and Taft's is expected to be filed soon, to make still another three-way GOP race.

Labor Party Split By Left-Wing Revolt
London — (U.P) — Britain's Labor party was split wide open today by a left-wing revolt against the leadership of former Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee.
Aneurin Bevan, making a supreme bid to supplant Attlee, led 54 of his followers in open rebellion against Attlee in the commons votes Wednesday night on Britain's $4,094,-160,000 rearmament program for 1952-53.
The Bevanites first defied the
party leadership by abstaining when Attlee's own motion of "no confidence" in the Conservative government's ability to carry out the program was put to a vote. The result was a 314-219 victory for Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

Truman Asks For More Foreign Aid
it is too small. These funds are needed, all of them . . ."
Washington — (U.P.) — President Truman asked Congress today to invest another $7,000,000,000 in building up strong allies against Communism, and warned that any cuts in foreign aid spending would be "foolish and dangerous."
In a special message to the House and Senate, the Chief Executive clashed head-on with economy-minded lawmakers of both parties who plan to slash upwards of one billion dollars from his aid program.
Mr. Truman planned to follow up the strongly-worded message with a direct appeal to the people over all radio and television networks at 9:30 p.m. CST.
"If there is any question about this amount," he declared, "it is not whether it is too large, but whether

Mr. Truman told Congress that the United States and its Allies must not let up in their mutual defense efforts now because they are coming within sight of their goal of insuring "peace through collective strength."
He said the 50-division Atlantic Pact defense force agreed upon at the recent Lisbon conference "will bring within measurable distance the time when even the most fool-hardy man in the Kremlin will not dare risk open attack" on Western Europe.
