Conferees Face Battle
At Session Today on
Foreign Aid Total
| Tober to Press Fight
For House Slash in
| ECA Appropriation
By the Associoted Press

The multi billion dollar for
eign aid program headed for a
final showdown today.
Senate and House conferees were
called into session at pm. to de-
eide how much the United States
will spend to help l6 European ma
tions, Japan, China and Korea on
the road to recovery.
A lively fight appeared certain
before the conferees emerge with
the finished bill-a compromise be-
tween the sharply conflicting Sem
ate and House versions. Each cham
ber still must ratify the conference
report, but with the rush to adjourn
Congress Saturday this becomes q
mere formality.
The House took the administra-
tons proposed $6,533,7lO,228 pro-
gram, spread it from 8 IL to Is
months, and in effect whitfield of
about 81 ,433 100000. The House also
inserted several restrictions on how
the money was to be spent.
Taber Heads Conferees.
The Senate took very different
view of the foreign needs 1t
changed the program back to II
months and restored an estimated
Sits 100000 of the House cuts, in
addition to knocking out some House
restrictions.
Chairman Taber of the House APP
propriations Committee, who spear
headed the House slash of the for
eign aid program, will head the
House conferees. Chairman Bridges
of the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee was named chairman of the
Senate conferees.
Other Senators appointed as con-
fereeS were: Senators Gurney OF
South Dakota, Brooks of Illinois
and Reed of Kansas, Republicans,
and McKellar of Tennessee, Hayden
of Arizona and Thomas of Okla
homa. Democrats.
House conferees named, in addi-
ton to the chairman, were Repre-
sentatives Case of South Dakota
Wigglesworth of Massachusetts,, En-
gel of Michigan, Keefe of Wisconsin
and Stefan of Nebraska, Republi-
cans. and Cannon of Missouri. Kerr
of North Carolina and Mahon OF
Texas. Democrats.
Major Differences.
The major differences to be settled
are these:
l. The time-whether the program
will be II or Is month program
2. European recovery-The Senate
voted the Economic Cooperation
Administration $4,000, 100000 in ad-
dition to sl,055, 100000 already re-
ceived. Senator Bridges, Republi-
can. of New Hampshire. Appropria
tions Committee chairman, says this
, is equal to a $950,000, 900 increase
over what the House gave ECA.
3. Government and relief in oc.
cupied areas-the Senate approved
81 1926 600 900 or about S75 900, ,00t
more than the House.
4. China aid-the Senate voted
s460, 100000 to be spent in Il
months. OF this amount, s125..

Churchill Says To Pursue Plain, Fair Policy In Berlin

WOODFORD, Eng, (P) - Winston Churchill said Saturday the Western Powers risk war with Russia if they yield to Soviet pres sure in Berlin.
 If we were to yield upon this grave issue, we would, in my opinion, destroy the best chance which is now open to us of es- caping a third world Wa-," he said in a speech at a conservative party rally in his home constitu- ency.
 The wartime prime minister said the period of waiting for a Sov- jet reply was an anxious hour"
 Churchill speculated that pol ical crisis may be developing inside Russia, particularly in the light of the Cominform' denunci- ation of Marshall Tito of Yugo- Slavia.
 The Conservative party leader said the safest course for us and other Western Democracies is to pursue as we are doing, a plain, fair and straightforward policy"
