Pravda Says Aid Plan Doomed To Failure

LONDON, tP) - Pravda, the Communist party organ in Rus sia, dashed cold water today on the warm, friendly feeling which has encompassed Europe since the Soviet Union accepted last Sun day a BritiSh-French invitation to talk about the Marshall Aid-Eu- rope plan.
 With Soviet forelgn minister V. M. .Molotov reportedly scheduled to leave tomorrow. for Paris, where the three-power talks will get under way Friday, Pravda said no self-respecting European nation could accept the Marshall proposals if acceptance meant American interference in the in ternal affairs of those nations.
 It said the business world of the United States was trying, through the Marshall program, ito weaken the ripening economic recovery of Europe and that the Greek Turkish aid program was doomed to failure.
 U. $. under secretary of state William L. Clayton continued his conferences on world economic affairs with Prime Minister Att lee, British foreign secrtary Err nest Bevin, and Sir Stafford Cripps, president of the board of trade. U. s. ambassador Lewis w. Douglas also attended the talks today.
 One high British government source said Britain would defer final decision on cutting her buy ing program in the United States 'at least until the full scope pos abilities of the Marshall aid-E rope plan emerge"
 This apparently was in answer to previous reports that Washing ton was expressing "concern' that

Aid Plan Not A Blank U. $. Check

WASHINGTON, (P) )- Secretary of treasury Snyder made plain to- day that he does not view the Marshall plan for European recov- cry as giving foreign countries a blank check on the United States for what they need
 Snyder told a news conference that secretary of state Marshall was not extended an implied invi- tation to other countries to tell this nation "what they need or want"
 My interpretation is that he is asking them to make a self -inven- tory and see what they can do for themselves" Snyder told report CTS.
 Meanwhile, Marshall said at an other news conference that he does not plan to have a represent ative attend the talks of British, French and Russian foreign min isters concerning his European re- covery program. These discus sions are scheduled to begin in Paris Friday.
 Asked whether he plans to have an observer there, Marshall said he does not.
 He flatly declined to give out any more information now about these proposals. When queS- tioner referred to the program as your proposal Marshall inter- rupted quickly to say the reporter meant the American government proposal.
