INDIANA EVENING GAZETTE, INDIANA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1989. PAGE TWO HOUSE DEBATES POSSIBLE GUAM NAVAL PLANS Crux of Controversy Over $552,000,000 Defense Program Today FOREIGN POLICY In Orient Bothers with Argument Over European Relations House reached the crux of the controversy over administration's $552,000,000 defense program todaya recommendalion for a seaplane base on the Pacific Island of Guam. The Guam proposal, included in a $53,800,000 bill for improved naval air bases, accentuated questions of foreign policy in the Orient at a time of intense argument over American relations with Europe. Senator Pittman (D-Nev), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, emphasized European war threats last night in pleading for strong national defense. While the American peiple ole hate war he sald radio address.

"they are not afraid to die for Christianity, morality, justice and liberty, Many a mistake has been made in past history by not letting dictator governments know this on the start." Administration leaders expected approval by tomorrow night of the air base bill, which was on the House calendar directly behind bills to extend the lending powers of the export-importan bank and affiliated agencies. Controversy establishing 0 seaplane base over, Guam developed after a naavl board had reported that fortifcation of the island would greatly strengthen defense of the Hawaiian Islands, the Panama Canal and the Western Coast of North America, Critics, including Republicans and Democrats, said the island was in a region of the Pacific dotted with Japanese mandated islands and that fortification would be considered a slap at Japan. Another segment of the defense program, which the House already has approved, probably will come before the Senate next week. It is the $376,000,000 army expansion measure. It was uncertain whether members of the Senate Military Committee would attempt to write a provision into the bill restricting the President's powers in making military planes available for sale to foreign powers.

Separate legislation to this eflect was offered yesterday by Senator Nye (R-ND). Nye, one of the leaders in the committee's investigation of French purchase of 1004 light bombing planes, proposed -that Army-Navy regulations governing the release of newly-developed planes be written into law. The Senate has not heard the last 'of the Incident, however, for members who it as evidence of the administration's desire to aid Demoeratic nations expect to discuss it in Army expansion bill reaches foreign policy speeches when the MERCURY DROP HALTS FLOOD Unscheduled Visit of Summer Causes Stream Rise (By The Associated Press) The mercury dropped as much as 30 degrees and cut short today an unscheduled visit of summery weather which sent streams rising generally in Pennsylvania and brought a flood warning along the upper Susquehanna river.
