expired with Yugoslavia exercising

president of the Board of Trade OF

Herter Group Delays
Action on Safeguards
For Foreign Relief
Committee Plans Anothe
Session, May Give Report
Tomorrow or Friday

The special House Committee
on Foreign Aid ended it's first
closed session today without a
decision on safeguards which
Congress should place on further
aid to Europe.
Representative Herter, Republican,
of Massachusetts,, acting committee
chairman, indicated it may be to-
morrow or Friday before report is
ready, although another session will
be held late today.
AS the group began celebrating
this morning there were reports of
conflicting views over whether any
political strings should be attached
to the aid program. Still up in the
air, also, is the exact form of agency
that should be recommended to
supervise the assistance program.
The special committee, with men,
bers drawn from several of the
major standing committees of the
House, toured Europe during the
summer and will strive to make rec
concentrations before the Foreign
Affairs Committees of both houses
which meet jointly Monday to re-
ceive the administrations aid pro-
gram from Secretary of State Mar
shall.
The mo political strings" recon-
mendation was part of tentative
report drafted by Mr.. Herter.
Not Official Document.
Because it was created specifically
to deal with the problem of global
needs, the so-called Herter COM
mittee's final recommendations may
form the basis for House action on
the Marshall plan or whatever sub
stitute program is suggested for
countering communism in Europe.
AS vice chairman, Mr.. Herter
acted as head of the committee
abroad in the absence of 79-year-
old Chairman Eaton, who remained
in this country.
Although contents of the tenta-
tive report became generally known
on Capitol Hill today, committee
members were reluctant to discuss
it openly on the grounds that it
was not an official document.
Several, however, left no doubt
in private conversations that they
will oppose granting any aid to
countries which do not agree to
certain restrictions, including free
access to American observers. These
members say they want specific
safeguards to prevent use of food
or other shipments for internal
political maneuvering.
Nothing for Satellites.
And you can just bet that none

show signs of developing sympathy
for the Soviets," one member said.

VA Retains Security
That Permits Hidinq
Embarrassing Papers
Agency Holds TO System
Despite Eliminotion Of
Phrase After Protest

The Veterans Administration
has continued in effect its ruling
that allows documents causing
administrative embarrassment
to be hidden under the guise OF
security" despite elimination
of the phrase by the Security
Board drafting secrecy classifi-
cations for all official Govern
ment papers.
These classifications-novel fol-
such a "nonsensitive" agency-were
approved by VA for its personnel
on July 20.
Tho classifications were picked up
it was learned today, from a booklet
circulated by the Security Advisory
Board of the State -Navy-Air
Force Co-ordinating Committee
which stressed principally that
secrecy controls should be taken of
official papers whenever possible.
The booklet was distributed in Feb
ruary.
William j. Driver, a VA admin
istrative assistant. said his office
interpreted the booklet to have the
force of "a directive from the White
House." and that the classification
plan outlined was adopted for that
reason.
!, Veterans Administrator Bradley
he said, had pointed out to the Sc
curity Advisory Board in a letter
that his agency initiated no docu-
ments that would have to be safe
guarded for security reasons.
However, Hamilton Robinson
chairman of the board, stressed that
the board has no power to issue di-
receives and that the booklet was
sent only as a guide to Federal
agencies.

year-old carpenter, after counsel
for the Bunch family had chal-

The objection was made by Attor-
