The W aShington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Congressman Eugene Cox of Georgia ranks first in a lot of things.
 He is one of the best poker play CTS in Congress. He is the only man in Congress ever recommend ed for criminal prosecution by officials of the Justice Department hut not indicted He also has the record of having more relatives on the payroll than any other Congressman.
 But despite this, Gene can be one of the most charming gentlemen on Capitol Hill and is genuinely liked by his colleagues
 However, the gentleman from Georgia has now chalked up new record. He had the audacity dur ing recent trip to Germany to place himself squarely on record against the U. S. Army's de-nazi- fication program.
 Back when the Battle of the Bulge was still fresh in peoples minds, no one would believe that three years later a U. s. Congress man would be touring Germany preaching that the Nazis were the best of the Germans after all.
 However, Georgia's patriot of the scapbox, travelling through Ger many with a Congressional Sub- committee, was so critical of tht de-nazification program that it em. barrassed his colleagues. Even il front of German officials, Gene dic not hesitate to criticize the Army. policy of kicking out Nazi Ger, mans and replacing them witt Democratic Germans
 Tt seems to me-" Cox told { Congressional colleague, that thu good Germans were the Nazis wht were loyal to the government which the United States recognized a that time tthe Hitler government not those who were disloyal"

 Proposed al Paris
By STERLING F. GREEN

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-Rl- President Trumans blueprint for European recovery calls for less help than the Is Marshall Plan nations asked for, and higher pric- es for what they do get.
 Behing the chief executives mes sage to Congress today proposing l7,000 000,0o0 fouryear assistance program IS an exhaustive govern ment study overhauling the econ cm.c planning done by the Mar shall Plan nations at Paris Tn September.
 Released by the State Depart ment simultaneously with the read ing of the Presidents message to Congress, this study notifies Europe that the United States cannot sup ply as much grain, fats and oiis, petroleum, fertilizer, tractors or ire eht cars as the Paris report requested.
 It also suggests that the Paris plans he revised further to:
 1. Increase Europe's own exports, even though it might mean slower rise in living standards there
 9 Slow down plans for factory, power plant and housing expansion o,, tho oro,lnd that pxceSSivp "caD- ital formation" means less goods for consumers, lower exports, and imitation,
 3. Charter 300 ships from the United States temporarily, i'll ad- dition to the planned purchase of 200 war-built vessels, and reduce Europe's own four-year objective of Is. TOOL tons of ship construction.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-tR,- President Truman asked Congress today to commit America to ST. 000000.0o0 European recovery pro- gram and a bold" defense Of free men against "totalitarian pres sureS.
 MT Truman proposed that this vast sum be invested over four and quarter years in a made-in- : America attempt to buy just and lasting peace As for the first installment, he asked for authority to spend $6,- 800,o00,000 on the first Is months.
 Wants Swift Action
 His message outlining the larg- est spend.n Ing plan in the nations peacetifne history went to Congress in the closing hours of it's special session. MT. Truman urged swift action when the regular session starts in January. so the recovery pidil cdH begin Aprll l.
 He predicted that the "determin- ed opposition" already announced by European Communists will re- suit in further indictments to strike flor the purpose of bringing chaos in the hope that it will pave the way for totalitarian control"
 Even American security and the American way of life are at stake, the chief executive declared
 He asked Congress to tip it's grave and significant decision in favor of the Marshall Plan to finish job on which he said $l5,000 100000 already had been spent since the war ended The decision, he said, will.
 Important Decision
 Determine in large part whether the free nations of the world can look forward with hope to a peace ful and prosperous future as in dependent states, or whether they must live in poverty and ill fear of selfish totalitarian aggression
 Along with his message. the Pres ident forwarded to Congress bill to authorize the $l7000, 100000 ex- penditure and set up the machinery for carrying out the long-range re- ! covery program. He sent along. 1 too, a 24l-page analysis prepared by experts from dozens of Federal agencies
 Management To manage the program, MT. , Truman wants to appoint a $20,- COG year administrator with broad powers. There would be a deputy drawing sl7,500, and to run the European end of the show, there would be rowing ambassa- i dor making $25,000 a year In addition, the administrator would have as his top assistants 10 men making up to $l5,000 and 50 more making as much as sI0,- 00O
 However, instead of one-man control of the program, a special House Committee on foreign aid { already has proposed an eight man board, so the Truman pro- pcsal may - in for trouble on that score.
 Congressional shuddering was in prospect. too, over the size of the bill

STUDENTS ENROLLED

The James B. Dudley High
School opened for a bigger and
better school year than ever be-
fore with an enrolment of over
500, 200 of whom are new stu
dents. Three new teachers were
added to the staff also. They are,
Miss Lorraine Bobbett, from the
University of illinois, instructor
in foreign languages; Miss Fan
ME Washington, of Hampton
Institute, Virginia, instructor in
health education, and Mr.. Aaron
Bell, Xavier University, New
Orleans, La, director of the
band.
Mr.. Bell will be the first male
band director at Dudley since
the beginning of World War II,
when Mrs. Eloise Logan Penn
took over, and has done a tre-
mendous job during the past six
years. Under her supervision
were two bands at Dudley high,
one at Washington Street school,
and one at J. G. Price school. The
Dudley High School band has
won second place in the state,
and had the possibility Of win
ming first place, but lack Of uni
forms prevented this. However,
a number of interested citizens
joined Mrs. Penn in securing
uniforms to make the Dudley
high school band come up to the
standards of any school band in
the state. Due to her health,
Mrs. Penn suggested that a male
band director be secured.
Upon Mr.. Bells arrival, he will
find four well equipped and Or
ganized bands.

completed their masters. Mr.. v.
