Stopgap Agreement
Gives French Budqet
Comparable 10 Al
By the kssociotsd Press

PARIS, Dec. l27.-The National
Assembly voted just before midnight
to spend almost the same amount
of money to run the government in
l94S as was spent in ls47.
The budget it approved, however,
is a stopgap measure and is to be
replaced early in the New Year with
a regular budget taking into account
1948 conditions.
The unofficial tally on the budget
was 387 in favor and 215 in opposi-
ton, the latter mostly Communists.
The Assembly decided to copy the
1947 budget, with some exceptions,
when it saw it could not finish an
appropriation measure along differ
ent lines before the end of this year.
Agreement Reported.
The vote followed a report that
the Communists and the govern
ment had reached an agreement to
cut the debate short.
The Communists were reported
without confirmation to have agreed
to refrain from certain dilatory tao
tics in return for government
promise not to press for new cleo
ton of assembly officials, which
would deprive Communists of inn
portant committee posts.
This years ordinary expenditures
have been estimated at about 900,-
600 100000 francs (about $500, ,00O.-
000). But of this sum. the proposed
stopgap budget eliminates an item
of about $1,000 100000 francs t$570.-
900 ,0O0) for price subsidies and does
not provide for any military ex-
penditures. The government plans
to decide military spending-almost
quarter of the total budget-on
month -to-month basis.
Extraordinary Budget.
In addition TO the stopgap ordi-
nary budget, the government has
proposed AN extraordinary budget
for l948 of about 100000, 900, 900
francs Gust under $4,000, ,000, ,000) to
finance postwar reconstruction.
The purpose of re-enacting the
l947 budget is merely to keep the
government running after January
/. Early in the new year, the
assembly is expected to resume
work on a budget tailored to ls48
needs,

Three Senators Voice
Concern Over Some
Aspects Of Aid Plan

Three Senators-two Democrats
and one Republican yesterday
voiced concern over some aspects of
the administrations European aid
program.
Senator johnson, Democrat, Of
Colorado said the program should
not upset "our own economy"
Senator O'Conor, Democrat, of
Maryland said it will be up to Con-
gress to decide whether amounts as
large as those proposed by the ad-
ministration will be necessary.
Senator Butler, Republican, of Ne
braska warned Secretary of State
Marshall in letter that if he
wanted congressional approval of
foreign aid programs he should
make every effort to disturb pri-
vate channels of trade as little as
possible"
Warns of U. S. Monopoly"
The Republican Senator. protest
Ing what he called State Depart
ment decision to procure flour for
France under the 1947 Relief Act
through the Agriculture Depart
ment rather than through private
firms, declared that such Govern
fnent procurement would appear to
lead to complete Government
monopoly of foreign trade
He added: You should realize
how such a program of Government
monopoly inevitably stiffens opposi-
ton to any and all additional pro-
posals for assistance to foreign coun-
tries
Senator Johnson, while not op-
posing the aid program. proposed
limit of $2,1600 100000 as the most
the United States can afford for
foreign relief within a year with
out upsetting our own economy or
causing dangerous shortages at
home
He said the aid program should
be kept on year-to-year basis, with
frequent appraisals of our own eco
nonic condition, the effects of relief
abroad, and the contributions which
Marshall plan nations themselves
are making toward recovery.
O'Conor Doubtful.
In Baltimore, Senator O'Conor,
though stating he is heartily in
favor" of the program. declared the
question of whether the Admins
tration has suggested the proper
amounts must await future de-
termination.
Citing the s6,80O,0 600, 900 requested
by the President for the first Is
months of the $1,000, 100000 pro-
gram. he said:
There will be doubt in many
minds whether these amounts actu-
ally will be needed and whether our
own economy can withstand the i'm
pact of such a tremendous addi-
tional load

By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 17.-C. r.
Joyner, jr.. State commissioner Of
motor vehicles, has notified Virginia
law enforcement agencies that 1916
license tags on vehicles now are
Illegal" and to act accordingly. )
In teletype message to all

however, that they recognize public
use vehicles operated by the State.
These cars, Mr.. Joyner said, carry
undated aluminium plates from last
year and have not been supplied
with a second, or front, tag. This
failure, he explained, was due to q
temporary shortage Of metal which
will be corrected soon.
The agencies also were informed
|of an experimental plate issued by
the division for some State cars.
The plate Is treated with "scotch-
light, a powder sprayed on the
light background that reflects head

Gated that If the experiment on the

Civil Service Worker
Says McNayr Sought
To Block Discharge

Mrs. Lillian Dawson, discharged
administrative assistant to the
Montgomery County Civil Service
Commissioner, said today County
Supervisor I. G. McNayr had at
tempted to intervene on her behalf
when the county commissioners
were acting on her dismissal.
10 v. Morgan, the commissioner
charged yesterday that abolition o1
Mrs. Davison's post was politicaI
reprisal for his having made ar
emergency" appointment of five
county employees to help with the
sale of automobile tags.
The action was taken by three
commissioners, Wesley I. Sauter
o. w. Youngblood and George
Esworthy at closed meeting late
Tuesday.
Move Based on Economy.
MIR. Youngblood said Mr.. Sauter
introduced the resolution to abolish
the job purely as an economy
move"
"Mr. McNayr was very gracious tc
me-" Mrs. Dawson said. HE as
sured me my work during the past
year and a half has been very eff
cient and he praised me very highly
HE said he regretted the commits
sioners had directed him to inform
me that + would be taken off the
county rolls. He added that he had
done all he could to change their
minds"
Merit System Seen Affected.
Her employment will be discon-
tinued May /.
Mr.. Morgan asserted work of the
merit system in the county will be
crippled seriously" by the abolition
of the administrative assistants
post.
Il am convinced that 1t was done
for no other purpose than to en-
barrass the county civil service COM
missioner in retaliation for his per-
forming his duties under the law
he added
