soclation so per cent and the Ma

One of these is the Senate Appro-

member, told a reporter:
On the basis of the information
we now have, l see no reason for q
special session and I would be glac
to have the President decide against
one. But I am not willing to make
any promise in return that Con-
gress would act quickly when il
comes back in January.
This whole, matter of aid to Eu-
rope must be explored thoroughly
and for one am not going to act in
hurry. Otherwise, I am willing to
cooperate to the fullest extent"

farms that we shall be forced into
regimented economy.
IF and when that happens. every
objective of World War II will have
been lost"
, What should the United States
policy be?
That, said Mr.. Dirksen, was the
objective of his mission.
Took Good Look" at Germany.
He said he took a good look" al
Germany and its people-big busi-
nessmen and small, farmers, miners
factory workers and school chill
dren, and reached this conclusion:
Il am reasonably sure that if we
can support the German economy
we can check the Communist forces
at the River Elbe, and gradually
establish and preserve the basic
freedoms of people and maintain
human dignity
But he argued that the German
people must have something to
grasp, something to hang onto
their industry must be re-estab-
lished to a point where they have
sufficient exports to buy the neces-
sary food in which they never have
been self sufficient"
Essential Factors Listed.
Mr.. Dirksen listed three factors
which he termed essential to put
the German economy back on its
feet:
l. will on the part of the Ger
man people to go to work-and I
think that the will is quite evident.
2. Physical vitality to do hard
work-and that. means aid at the
outset in form OF food. Their physi-
cal energy must be replenished un-
til they can bring up their own pro-
duction.
3. Some incentive in the form
of few comforts, such as shoes
and clothes-all of which are hard
to find at the present time"
Mr.. Dirksen will be joined here
tomorrow by Representative Taber,
Republican, of New York, commit
tee chairman; Representative Can
non, of Missouri, ranking Democra-
tic member, and Representative
Wigglesworth, Republican. of Massa-
chusetts. All four will sail for
home Saturday.

succeeding year." Mr.. Ives said.
This brought a rejoinder from
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan that this was deliberate
fraud
In other words, this entry was
made so that the money wouldn't 7
have to revert to the Treasury at
the end of the fiscal year. and Con-
gress wouldn't know that the money
was there" Senator Ferguson de-
clared.
Regarding the Greenbelt project
Mr.. Ives said that the GAO has not
been able, TO determine what the
5000 900 debit is.
The money is missing. then?'
Senator Mccarthy, Republican. of
Wisconsin. asked
Mr.. Ives reported that this was
not necessarily the case. that it
might be poor bookkeeping. He
add that FPHA's predecessor, the
Farm Security Administration
turned over its books in rather poor
condition"
Questioned Further.
"1f you were examining the rec
ords of a bank and there was an
unexplained debit of S608, 900, you
would assume that the money was
missing, wouldn't you?" Senator Nc
Carthy persisted
Mr.. Ives said that this was not
necessarily true, but he acknoul-
edged that there might be a "defal-
cation
In the San Francisco case. Mr.
Ives declared. there was fictitious"
account of assets totaling SGT 600
He did not state how much of this
was fictitious.
Mr.. Ives also declared that the
GAO check showed that some fic-
titious accounts payable were found
in the FPHA's New York office.
The witness said a GAO voucher
check of FPHA's books indicated
that, although the bookkeeping sys-
tenn was bad, there were no "defalca-
tions."
Not Certain, Ives Says.
= Senator Ferguson and Senator
OConor, Democrat. of Maryland,

be certain of this fact, since an audit

Calls FOR Aid TO Ee.u.l
Stop & Communists at the EIbe
Soviet Is SEEKING
Bridgeheod on
I Atlantic He Says
BY the Associuted Press

LONDON, Oct. IA. Repre-
sentative Dirksen, Republican
of Illinois contended today that
the United States could check
the march of Communism "at
the River Elbe" by helping tc
rebuild Germany's economy.
A ranking member of the House
Appropriations Committee, he as
serted that "the Old World situation
is so feverish. so explosive that any
thing could happen at any time
En- route home from month long
investigation of conditions in Eu-
rope, particularly in Germany, he
asserted in an interview that Rus
sia S Peter the Great once was con-
tent with a window on the Baltic
now the Soviets want a bridgehead
on the Atlantic"
AS a member of the committee
which initiated all financial grants
for war and relief spending, Mr.
Dirksen recalled the early l94Os,
when the United States hewed to a
policy OF "all aid short of war" He
said that since victory I'VE have
been taking steps, out the steps are
short of peace
They (the American steps to
speed world recovery have been
too short he declared. I'm corse-
quence, a plan, like the Marshall
plan is imperative to retrieve the
situation"
He said the fundamentals" of
the situation ARE these-and this
the American people will share: We
fought the war as moral crusade
for freedom, we went deeply into
debt, we lost the lives of 400 1000
fine American youths"
Now We are squarely up against
the question of whether We are
going to salvage the peace and ef-
fectuate the broad objectives for
which we went into World War II.
1T is so obvious that freedom and
the Communist police state are at
the opposite ends of the pole The
question is whether the people of
Europe are going to have show
for freedom or whether they are
going to be overwhelmed and alb
sorbed by the march of commu-
niSm."
Possibility for United States.
Mr.. Dirksen contends the United
States is confronted with this posi-
bility If aid is denied:
If Europe is swallowed up by Red
Fascism, if the Communists estab-
lish bridgehead on the Atlantic,
we shall be in the unhappy position
of having to do business with all of
Europe on whatever basis the
Kremlin decides.
When this expansionist program
has been carried that far, they will
be encouraged to carry it much
farther and we'll be in a world
dominated by brutal police state.
Its net effect on us back home will
be such a restriction on the products
of American industry and American

Antonio Marinelli, bread dealer

ported by two of Washington S

slowed down" with steaks showing
a heavy drop" Both restaurants

especially chuck roasts and plate
beef, are in demand, it was said.
Continental Baking Co. reported
a drop in sales equally divided be-
tween public eating places and re-
tail stores. A tightening up in con-
signment sales was reported. Re-
turned bread is not wasted, a COM
pany official said, but is toasted and
sold as crumbs.
The Schneider Baking Co. said
a drop in sales has not yet been
noticed though spokesman said
sales have not been brisk"
The Holmes Bakery, which de-
livers its bread to the customers
homes, said sales definitely are down
but not as much as during the war
time drive to save grain.
