Will Ask Opinion Of People About
 European Aid Bill

WASHINGTON, tP)-The Sen ate foreign relations committee is planning to ask prominent Ameri- cans from all walks of life for their opinions of the four-year, $l7,OOO, 100000 Marshall plan for European recovery.
 Democratic leader Barkley tKyD a committee member, told report CTS this today. He said Secretary of State Marshall probably will be the first witness when the com mittee begins hearings Jan. 2. But before hearings are concluded, he said, scores of others will be heard.
 Cha rman Vandenberg R.- MichD, said no list of prospective witnesses has been compiled, but that he wants to obtain "a cross section" of American views before the committee acts.
 Already signs are cropping up that Congress will take lots of time and write its own European re- covery plan, rather than accepting the one President Truman has submitted. And indications are that it will be no where near as big as $17 100000, 0,0OO.
