CONGRESSMAN.
VIM. M. COLMER
Marshall VS.. Molotov Plan

Both branches of Congress con-
tinue hearings on the Marshall
Plan for aid to stricken Euro
pean countries. But as we pre-
dicted in this column a few weeks
ago, the going is slow. And it
becomes more and more increas-
ingly apparent that the request
of President Truman and Seere-
tary Marshall for the full funds
estimated at approximately SIX
teen billion dollars, will not be
approved. Moreover, the move
ment to place the program on a
year to year basis is gaining fav-
or. 1t is still too early to pre-
dict just what the ultimate out
come will be.
OF course, the whole Marshall
Plan is based upon a two-fold
theory. The first of these the
cries is that the expenditure of
this gigantic sum will rehabilitate
the devastated countries and that
they in turn will become markets
for our surplus products. And,
second, that such assistance to
these countries will enable them
to combat Russian aggression.
On the other hand, Russia mas
its own plan for Europe. the Molo-
tov Plan. And Russia Is max
ing rapid progress in pushing
ahead her plan in Eastern Europe.
Strangely enough. Russia IS max
ing this progress in sDite Of the
fact that she is pursuing an en-
tirely different course from that
pursued by the United States and
her Western Allies. France and
Great Britain. To illustrate.

Special to Central Press

Washington-Henry A. Wal
lace's decision to run for presi-
dent Truman's chances but the
ticket not only threatens Presi-
dent Tryman's chances but the
chances of two COP presiden-
tial possibilities.
The two are Gov. Tom Dew
ey of New York and Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower.
Veteran political observers
believe that many Dewey sup
porters will desert to Ohio's
Senator Robert A. Taft in the
belief that Taft, with the Demo-
cratic vote split, can win the
election.
These erstwhile Dewey sup
porters had felt that only the
New York governor could mus
ter enough votes to beat a solid
Democratic front, although pri-
vately they preferred Taft.
In the case of Eisenhower, the
belief prevails that to some ex-
tent the general would be open
to attacks that q vote for a mil
itary man in the White House
might play into Wallaee's hands
and be interpreted as a vote
toward war.
Wallace's candidacy seems Ger
tain to split the New York state
vote wide open and hand the AZ
electoral votes to the Republi-
can nominee.
The late President Roosevelt
carried New York in 1910 and
1914 on the strength of some
10000 American Labor party
votes and those of other indie
pendents who now probably
will support Wallace.
California, with a split Dem
ocratic party, also appears cer-
tain to fall to the Republicans.

Toledo Scores Third
Glass Bowl Triumph
~ the Assocjotsd Press

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 4.-The Uni
versity OF Toledo's Rockets made it
three for three in the third annual
Glass Bowl today, by taking a 27-
IA decision from out-manned but
scrappy Oklahoma City University
before $500.
Lee Pete's passing was the major
factor in the victory. The clever
Rocket quarterback tossed two lat
erals and two forwards on scoring
plays in the first, second and fourth
periods.
The Rockets had too much power
for the Chiefs, especially in the
line, and much of the visitors gains
were made on Jim Wade's passes
However, Wade scored both touch
downs on runs Of eight and nine
yards in the final period.
Pete tossed laterals to Jim Hays
and Chuck Hardy and 12-yard and
l6-yard forwards to Don Martin and
Hardy for Toledo's scores. John
Shut Of the Rockets added three
extra points on place kicks. and
Frank Bruno added the Chiefs two
extra points.
Wade was q standout for the
losers. His passing and speedy end
sweeps kept the Rockets under
pressure all afternoon, despite the
fact their lead never was in danger
after the halfway mark in the first
period.
The Rockets previously defeated
Bates and New Hampshire in the
