(International Soundphoto) WHERRY LEAD GOP Point Four Battle May Delay Foreign Aid WASHINGTON, Republican senate Headers, directed an attack on President Truman's Point Four plan today threatened to delay final congressional action on the $3,120,550,000 foreign aid authorization bill. GOP floor leader Wherry of Nebraska and Senator Taft of Ohio, Republican senate "policy committee chief, led the assault. Wherry said a major effort By The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA. A 39- year-old Philadelphia research chemist of Russian extraction is held today in $100,000 bail, charged with receiving atomic bomb secrets from Dr.

Klaus' Fuchs and turning them over! to Soviet Russia. Dr. Fuchs is the former top British atomic scientist serving 14 years for passing atom secrets to Russia. ARREST OF Harry Gold, senior bio-chemist in one of Philadelphia's largest hospitals for the last two years, was announced in Washington last night by Attorney General McGrath and "FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.

A few minutes later in the Philadelphia chambers of Federal Judge James P. McGranery, the short, pudgy Gold was given a IS- minute hearing and hustled off to Philadelphia's Moyamensing prison in lieu of bail. Gold's work at. Philadelphia General hospital was on federally-financed heart research. Judge McGranery set June 12 at 10 a.

All the "big three" GM, Fortf and some of the so-called independents were signed up with the CIO United Auto Workers for at least two years. Longest of all the agreements is the unprecedented five-year Gen- eral Motors pact announced yesterday.

It'does not permit even a wage reopening before 1955. The Ford contract allows either the company or union to ask for, wage adjustments once before it expires in 1952. The Chrysler contract permits two wage reopenings by either side in its three-year duration. All this. seemed to leave both sides in the industry satisfied.

Management was looking forward to long periods free from labor strife. The UAW was hopeful of using the big three agreements as patterns at scores of smaller firms where bargaining has been held up pending the big settlements. UAW President Walter Reuther said the union would use the GM pact as a pattern "wherever we can." The union claimed it was far su- time of closed. his arrest was not dis- vould be made'to send the aid bill lack to a senate-house conference or a revision of the $35.000,000 Point Four program to aid backward areas of the world. The measure was approved yesterday by the house 247, to 88.

"This is a toe-in-the-door to open up world-wide aid after the Marshall plan ends," Wherry told a reporter. DEMOCRATIC leaders deny that Point after fourth point in Mr. Truman's 1949 inaugural be used as the basis for another huge aid program after the Marshall plan for European Kcovcry ends in 1952. But Wherry said he would furnish the senate with a list of 44 irrigation, power and road projects "all over the world" that the state department intends to start under the language of the Point Four amendment. Taft directed his criticism at the house language in the Point Four program as adopted by the senate Public Ailing Of Amerasia Case Urged WASHINGTON, (AP) Senator Knowland (R-Cal) called today for a thorough public airing of the 1945 Amerasia case involving alleged theft of secret government documents, Knowland said a senate foreign relations subcommittee already looking into the controversial case ought to get to the bottom of the situation as quickly as possible He is drafting a senate speech urging quick action.

He admitted he was Gold named in the warrant and requested permission to telephone a brother in Philadelphia to obtain' counsel. Judge McGranery granted the request. Later the brother, Joseph, told reporters he had received a call from Harry. Joseph said his older brother had been employed at the Philadelphia General hospital as a civil service senior bio-chemist. The hospital is staffed by the municipal civil service.
