...tightening up of a loosely drawn bill did not answer the reservations of such economizers as Georgia's Senator Walter George. But it was designed to fit the major objections of Republicans Arthur Vandenberg and John Foster Dulles. With their support, the prospects for some kind of arms program this year looked perceptibly brighter. Said Dulles: "There remain some problems. However, I think we are now in a good way to do the needful quickly...
