Marshall Plan
Continued From First Page.

without serious drain on the Ma
tons physical resources.
The council, headed by DR.. Edwin
G.. Nourse, is expected to report that
the long-range aid program will
intensity price pressures on some
ommodities-such as grain, some
other foods, steel and fertilizers
which already are In world scarcity
The councils report may include
suggeStions-if not outright recon-
mendations-on proposed Federal
controls to prevent such shortages
from creating a runaway price situa-
ton.
On the other hand, said an off,
cial acquainted with the prepara-
ton of the document, the Nourse
group has concluded that the United
States has little choice in the situa-
ton, holding that an economic col
lapse in Europe would have grave
repercussions at home.
Considerable space will be devoted
in the report, it was learned, to the
possible impacts of failure to pro-
vide assistance.
Submits Quarterly Reports.
Such conclusions would be in har-
mony with past statements by
Chairman Nourse, who submits
quarterly memoranda on the eco
nomic outlook to Mr.. Truman. He
has stated, for instance, that emer-
gency aid to Europe this winter need
not worsen the price problem at
home.
(Secretary of State Marshall
proposed that European nations
get together on a self-help plan
and then advise the United
States how much aid is required.
(Sixteen nations of Europe
drafted such a report. The
American aid involved approx
mates $4,000, 100000 over the
next four years.
This view also would square with
that Of the'Krug report, which noted
that exports take 10 per cent or less
of United States production, and
that the total will be declining
rather than increasing, in the pro-
posed four-year period of Marshall
plan aid.
Council Has Three Members.
The Economic Council, whose
members include Leon KeyserIing
and John Clark in addition to DR.
Nourse, has been reluctant in the
past to make outright recommended
tions for Federal controls. 1t is un.
certain now, therefore, how specific
its suggestions may be for safe.
guards against imitation.
In its first annual report, issued
last January, the council advised
Mr.. Truman that it would be wei
to prepare a plan of grain and ce.

threat became more grave.
Such a plan has been reported
under serious consideration" by

to be in collusion with county
gamblers" Mr.. Dugan asserted.
I'm glad the name of the depart
ment has been cleared.
1.-THE Arlington County Board
should now confer with the judge
of the Circuit Court with a view to
ef1ecting some of the changes" Mr..
Dugan continued. "The County
Board should also request the Vir-
ginia State Legislature to relieve
the Circuit Court of the power to
appoint police. Police and flremen
should be under the jurisdiction OF
the County Board along with other
county employees whose salaries are
appropriated by the board"
Mr.. Dugan declared that the
changes he listed should be made
in the Police Department.
Judge Declines Report.
Judge Mccarthy refused to ac-
cept the supplemental report on
the grounds that it lis not in &C
cordance with the instructions" Civ
en- the jury. The attention OF the
jury, the judge pointed out. had
been directed to rumors and re-
ports of gambling"
Il feel that you have spent a great
deal of TIME in worthwhile study"
the jurist declared, adding that he
thought somebody" should have the
supplemental report, which, 1t was
learned, made some Is specific rec
concentrations, including appoint
ment of a director of public safety
to correlate law enforcement &C
tivities.
Several of the jurors last night
expressed the hope the supplemental
report will be made public
In vindicating the Police. Depart
ment, the grand jury stated:
After a thorough investigation in
which we followed through all leads
which came to our attention and
examined all witnesses whose nsmes
were suggested, we found insufficient
evidence to convince us of collusion.
The jury, headed by Foreman
Erie Kirby, automobile dealer, heard
81 witnesses in closed sessions, in
cluding county and police officials.

Biographies of Arbitrators.
Brief biographies of the three ar
bitrators who figured In the Capital

sented the public and was chairman
of the group. DR.. Taylor left a

ings. Reputed to be a millionaire,

pearing each day wearing diff
ferent hand-painted tie.

Nee Acted Peculiar
On Yacht, Jackson
Declares in Trial
BY the Assoeioted Press

HAVANA, Oct. 31.-Charles jack
son. who was on the yacht Satira
when Patricia Schmidt fatally shot
her lover, John Lester Nee, testified
In the Divorces murder trial today
that Jack did act peculiar at
times"
Jackson, whose home is in River
Forest, ILL.,, a Chicago suburb, told
the Audiencit Court:
Jack. Nee and I got along very
we'll. Jack did act peculiar at times
often had a short temper and
usually lost track Of conversation
There were other things"
Miss Schmidt, who called herself
Satira as a dancer in Caribbean
night clubs, sat ervously on the de-
fense bench handling Spanish fan.
The Toledo (Ohio) girl appeared IN
black skirt and white blouse. She
previously had testified in her twice
delayed trial that she shot Nee, a
Chicago lawyer, accidentally while
she was afraid he would kill her.
jackson, friend of both, has
been accused of concealing facts.
Indications were that the trial
pace would be syifter and that a
verdict might be reached next week.
Recalling the cruise of the yacht
Satria down the Mississippi to
Havana, which started with eight
men, Jackson said:
TT was to be an altman cruise.
It was understood no women would
be aboard the boat. I didn't like 1t
when Patricia moved aboard in
Havana.
Not that she was a bad girl, but
lust did not want women on the
boat. When she came aboard, that
was the reason som eof the others
on the boat left and went back to
Chicago"
Jackson said it was his pistol with
which Nee was shot, explaining:
THE main reason for having 1t
was as some sort of protection"
His testimony regarding the pistol
bore out Mis- Schmidt's story. She
and the three judges listened in
tently,
