WASHINGTON, May 5--Harold E. Stassen criticized President Truman's program for Greece and Turkey today as "negative' 'and declared that this country should "develop a positive, constructive approach."

Specifically, he declared that "we should not finance, arm, or advise an all-out military offensive" against the Communist-led guerillas in Greece but should try instead to win them over through an economic program which would bring prosperity.

The Republican presidential aspirant told a news conference, however, that he is supporting the Senate approved version of the President's $400,000,000 Greek-Turkish aid program largely "because it is a matter of hiparliean foreign policy."
