able to set in motion other machin-
cry of foreign aid by the end OF the
special session"
Also on the House side, Majority
Leader Halleck put the administra-
ton on notice that there will be no
effort to jam any proposition
through that body.
Demands Competent Personnel.
Mr.. Halleck spoke in a statement
last night of detailed accounting"
and of competent personnel" to ad-
minister the long-range program for
which President Truman may ask
upwards of $4,000, 100000 in aid for
16 countries over a four-year span.
The countries involved are seeking
$22, 400, 100000 in assistance to carry
out their own self-help program as
envisioned by Secretary of State
Marshall, but they may have to find
$3,0OO,0OO,o0O outside the United
States.
Mr.. Halleck indicated that if any
such expenditures are made, Re-
publicans want to tie them down
as tightly as possible.
The incompetence of the ad-
ministration in handling funds is
so obvious" he contended, that
our task in Congress is to write a
bill that will spell out in detail
exactly how the aid to Europe pro-
gram shall be carried out" he said
Lawmakers agreed this would take
time and Chairman Vandenberg OF
the Senate Foreign. Relations Com
mittee made it clear that so far
as he is concerned only the stop
gap program can hope for final
clearance in the special session.
Senator Vandenberg and Chair
man Eaton of the House Foreign
