WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. -
President Truman and members
of his family and cabinet left
here by train at 8:48 o'clock this
morning to attend the Army
Navy football game in Philadel-
phia this afternoon. They ar
rived in that city at 1870
o'clock.
While the President was on his
way to Philadelphia, Senator
Robert o. Taft said that he will
"go along" with the President
in his stop-gap program for
aiding Europe, but that he will
fight several of the provisions
embodied in the Marshall Plan.
Senator Taft said he will OPP
pose several measures in the
long laid plan, and will insist on
pairing down the cost of other
measures. He concluded by as
sorting that altogether too much
money is asked for to operate
the Marshall Plan.
