House COP. Finishes
Recovery Bill Study;
Early Action Forecast
By J. A. OLeory

The House Republican Steering
Committee went over the main fea-
lures of the European Recovery
Program today, but Speaker Mar
tin said no effort was made 70 die
tate decisions to the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee.
The Foreign Affairs group
promptly went into closed session.
and, with knowledge of how the
leaders feel, is expected to reach
early decisions on the amount and
scope Of the bill
II the Senate-approved measure
Is reported from committee by Fri
day or Saturday, Speaker Martin
expressed confidence the House
could pass it by the April dead
line fixed originally by the admin
istration.
4-Year Proviso Is Issue.
The chief points at issue are:
l. Should the $500, 900, 900 au-
thorized by the Senate for the first
years operation be shaved down?
2. Should the whole program be
put on one-year basis as a starter.
instead Of following the Senate
recommendation for a four-year
economic assistance plan?
3. Should Congress set up an in
dependent corporation to handle
the entire program instead of CIV
ing control mainly to an economic
cooperation administration headed
by $20,000-a-year cabinet-rank Of
f1cer as proposed by the Senate?
Steering Committee members re-
ported sharp cleavage" on all three
points. with the Foreign Affairs
Committee, which is drafting the
legislation, also undecided.
Three Days Of Debate.
Present plans call for three days
of general debate in the House next
week, starting Tuesday. Since the
House will not meet on Good Friday,
three days of debate on amendments
probably will start Easter Monday.
Following House passage the
Marshall Plan legislation will be
sent to House and Senate conferes
to work out differences between the
two bills.
Speaker Martin told reporters
House Republican leaders hope for
final congressional action by April
III days before the Italian elec-
tions. These are expected to pro-
vide a crucial test of strength be-
tween Democratic and Communist
forces, and 1t is felt that passage
of the aid program might help de-
feat the Communists.
