Foreign Aid

among both American and European
officials that perhaps go per cent of
next years aid under the Marshall
program should be furnished with
out asking repayment. The admin
istration is expected to seek between
$4,000 100000 and $7,000000,000 in
aid next year, as the first step in
the four-year recovery drive of Is
Western European nations.
Senator Capper, Republican. of
Kansas declared that "the people of
the United States. not the Govern
ment of the United States. will have
to pay for these gifts"

peka, the President can present
an acceptable program by which,
speaking fguratively, We can sell
our cake. give away our cake, and
eat our cake. all at the same time.
Truman Course Indicated.
The Council of Economic Ad-
visers, headed by Edwin G. Nourse
argued in its report that this Gov
eminent will reap a long range ad-
vantage If it provides outright gifts

mands for food, fuel and fertilizer

Gil said, can better and more rap

terna tional bank and private
sources"
The report was regarded as clue
to much of the content Of Mr.. Tru-
mans forthcoming message to Con-
gress. The Council analyzed the
impact of foreign aid on the do
mestic economy as companion
piece to Secretary of the Interior
Krug's earlier report which held
that this countrys physical re-
sources are able to support pro-
gram of Marshall Plan proportions
A third report is expected this
week from the committee of 10 pri-
vate citizens headed by Secretary OF
Commerce Hartman. 1t will at
tempt to translate the Marshall pro-
posals into a detailed plan of as
sistance.
In a statement yesterday Secre-
tary Hartman recommended exten-
sion of export controls beyond their
scheduled expiration next February
20 to protect the domestic economy
and promote foreign policy.
Export control permits us to di-
rect exports of critically needed
commodities to countries where need
is most urgent, and where they can
be most effectively used to speed the
economic recovery of the world Mr.
Hartman explained.
Adoption of the Marshall plan
would emphasize the need for con-
trolling exports.

Il don't believe the Democrats will
filibuster against it again. especially
at the start of a session. he said.

started. a grand jury has indicted "a
persons. Three persons have re-
ceived prison sentences for vote
frauds.

Hughes Is Delighted
After Surprise Flight
OF Huge Flying Boat.
by the Associated Press

LONG BEACH, Calf, Nov. s.
Howard Hughes s25 100000 flying
boat tested its wings yesterday, and
they work
Acting on impulse, the millionaire
sportsman, film producer, plane
maker and tool manufacturer, took
the 400,00 000-pound plywood giant
aloft at the end of what he earlier
had announced would be a mere
taxing test.
The 43-year-old Mr.. Hughes had
made two taxi runs over the choppy
surface of Los Angeles-Long Beach
Harbor while throng Of thousands
marveled at the plywood boats i'm
mensity. Then, on the third run,
after its eight 5000 horsepower en-
gines had speeded it to about 100
miles an hour, Mr.. Hughes eased
back on the hydraulic controls, and
the monster was airborne.
Buoyancy Felt Good.
"The buoyancy felt so good that
decided to take 1t up" Hughes
grinned at an informal press con-
ference Immediately afterward.
About 80 of Mr.. Hughes aides
technicians, engineers and observ-
ers-were aboard the plane, largest
ever made, on its maiden fight. In
the co-pilot's seat was Dave Grant,
Los Angeles, Mr.. Hughes chief hy-
draulic engineer. An observer for

Mr.. Hughes said he is thoroughly
satisfied" with the performance of
the craft, which flew approximately
mile at maximum height of
about 10 feet. Earlier in the day he
told a news conference that he
couldn't be certain that the great
craft, 219 feet long and with wing
span of 800 feet, would fly at all,
No one can ever be certain that
an experimental plane will fly" he
said.
Mr.. Hughes, normally a taciturn
man. was delighted when he talked
with newsmen after the hop.
Settles Like a Feather.
II was very, very happy over the
way the controls operated he said.
Y think the airplane is going to be
fairly successful"
He reported that at the takeoff his
engines were turning over at 1900
revolutions per minute. and at the
landing he throttled down to about
1900
She settled like a feather" he
said.
The hydraulic controls. on which
Mr.. Hughes and his aides have
spent much time. provide about 200
times the force which can be exert
ed by strong man, he said.
Mr.. Hughes for some reason had
discarded his famous lucky hat"
which he always has worn when
testing planes. He wore a brown
snap-brim model, sports jacket,
light slacks and a white sports
shirt open at the throat.
When the ship was flown Sen
ate committee was preparing to re-
sumo it's inquiry Wednesday into
