Further American help for Oreece, which likewise has a non Communist government in an area where nearly all others tske their cue from Moscow, Is scheduled to await recommendations by a survey mission headed by former OPA Administrator Paul Porter. The latest credit to Hungary was earmarked for purchase of surplus goods from the $1,000,000,000 store of wartime msterlal just put on sale In' the American occupied rone of Oermany. With or without Russia's cooperation, the State department made plain in its announcement that this government proposes, as a contribution to peace In Europe, to help underwrite Hungary's post war political and economic stability, as agreed to at the Yalta conference.
