Nv the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 23.-Vir-
ginias proposed hospital construc-
ton program on a f1ve-year basis

1t was pointed out, however, that
the figures at present were only

Notwithstanding fears of the
Soviet Union that the Marshall
plan means revival of the Ger
man trusts and is danger to the
sovereignty of European nations
were echoed last week in the Vat
lean newspaper POsservatore Ro-
mano which urged that Russia's
voice be needed.
Soviet objections should not be
lightly dismissed, said the publ
cation, since everywhere in Eur
ope people feel strongly that ec-
onomic cooperation can be effec-
tive only if the independence of
each state is fully guaranteed.
Each country's anxiety over its
security should be allayed if the
Marshall plan is to succeed, said

similar anxieties have influenced
European politics negatively inI

"the full support of British and
