OF marshall Aid Plan
Bipartisan Support
Rests on Willingness
ot Trumon to Cooperate
By David Laurence

When Chairman Eaton of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
says he thinks there may not be
action on the Marshall plan be-
fore next June, this does not mean
he wants to see the debate last that
long. He implies instead that 1t
may take while to get public
opinion crystallized behind the
measure SO that it will receive BIZ
partisan approval. .
The Marshall plan is no simple
piece OF legislation which can go
through Congress like an ordinary
appropriation bill. 1t represents a
marked departure from our accus-
toned policies in peacetime. Hence
any effort to stampede Congress in
to action by emotional propaganda
would be a mistake.
Senator Vandenberg, chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, has sensed the nature Of the
opposition and Is going to ask for
full and free discussion of all OBJ
jections to the plan in the coming
hearings before his committee.
Wants Critics in Open.
Certainly the Marshall plan has
been sniped at from within the
United States by many influential
people who have not come out in
the open with their criticism.
Senator Vandenberg wants them to
speak out. He has an open mind
IN the sense that he has not closed
Il against any new facts or any new
arguments, but he has let it be
known that he starts out with dis
tinct sympathy for the Marshall
plans principles
If the Marshall plan were to be
debated on its merits, it would win
substantial majority in both
Houses. But there are signs it will
become interviewer in domestic
politics. At the moment the man
who holds the fate of the Marshall
plan in his hands is President Tru-
man himself.
This is because Mr.. Truman has
allowed the impression to grow that
tax reduction Is impossible with his
support as long as aid to Europe is
20 costly. Also he has played poll
tics with the cost-of- living problem
by refusing to admit that the needs
Of Europe and the scarcity of prod
ucts do have a considerable impact
on prices within the United States.
He has accused the Republicans Of
influencing the upward rise in the
cost of living while declining to
ooncede that neither political party
Is responsible for the conditions
that have brought both the scarcity
and the high prices.

but neither was likely to produce

is nearing 38, but he's hit 800 or

he's sure of an outfield job, leaving
Johnny Hopp from the Braves, Joe

It may we'll be that 1947 and 1916

Pittsburgh's success. There is Walk

and Stan Rojek in the infield. Ste
~vens hit .290 for Montreal and .l54
for Brooklyn and is due to play first

who couldn't displace Reese for the

rounding out an infield which may
have Joe Bockman at third and
Frank Gustine at second.
Clyde Kluttz, who caught 73 games

nominal head of the backstopping

Kiner, co-leader in the majors

that pitchers will give him their

men say that New Mexico's gift to
the majors still will be able to cope
with them.
Because the organization is being

to develop a smooth-running farm

collection of players culled from
