moment" he said after announcing
the action on Spain.
Mr.. Ross volunteered the Presi-
dents views at a news conference.
He said he had talked with Mr..
Truman about the provision to in
clude Spain In ERP. He added:
The President Is utterly opposed
TO that provision.
He trusts it will be stricken out
in the conference on the bill
State Department Upset.
State Department authorities par
ticularly had been upset by the Sec
ton.
They said it already is having a
bad effect in Europe and further
more runs contrary to current pol
icy on two major points:
l. The aid program was designed
to let the Is cooperating Euro
pean nations determine themselves
whether any other nations should
be invited to participate.
Department officials insist the
United States should not put itself
in a position of seeming to dictate
to the 16 nations that they should
invite Spain.
2. AS for the Franco regime,
present policy is to soft-pedal de-
nunciations of his government but,
on the other hand not to rush into
closer and more friendly relations
with it.
Want Bill by End Of Week.
The goal of the foreign aid con-
ferees is to get bill to Presi-
dent Truman before the end of the
week. Both Senate and House will
have to vote first on the compromise.
What the conferees agree to will
be the final terms Of program to
use Americas billions and military
knowledge to help Europe and China
hold the line against communism.
On that broad purpose, there is
no disagreement between the Senate
and House. Differences are over
details.
What the House approved by a
329-to-74 ballot was a wrap-up bill
to provide assistance for Europe,
Greece, Turkey and China. Leaders
had set April l as a deadline and
barely squeezed the measure under
the wire.
The Senate previously had passed
three separate bills, one for Europe,
one for China and a third for
Greece and Turkey.
Senator yandenberc alreadv has
agreed to follow the House lead on
q single bundle bill.
The basic parts of the House and
Senate bills are pretty much alike

year will run 5 to 8 per cent above

creases Of about 100000 barrels
daily should cover that rise, he
added.
/ AS for military buying, 'it should
not overtax the industry" the coun-
Gil offlcial reported. Army, Navy
and Air Force resuirements for the
year starting July are figured now
at lis 100000 barrels of all petroleum
products, or a gain of only 100000
from the present year.
However, Interior Department Off

over the impact on oil and gas sup

mel to a maximum of $13,50o a year
After the Senate committee re-
ported its bill, Senator Flanders
Republican, of Vermont, one OF the
co-sponsors Of the original measure
told reporters he considered the
amounts provided too high and
would file a minority report.
"The original proposal to grant
5000 pay raises to Federal employees
and $500 to postal workers was a
fair and reasonable amount" Sena-
tor Flanders declared. But the
bills reported by the committee to-
day will probably be.used by unions
and private industry to start a new
round Of industry pay raise de-
mands."
Disagreeing with this view, Chair
man LANCER OF the committee de-
clared that he would file minority
report asserting that the pay raises
voted by the committee were not
enough. Senator LAuger Is the
sponsor Of = $1,000 Government
pay raise measure. s<
Raises Would Be Permanent.
The pay raises granted under the
committees bill would. be perma-
nent. All Government employees
would be guaranteed q fiat raise Of
$3.50 q year, plus an additional $10o
resulting from a revision of the
Classification Act. In a few cases,
however, the Classification Act re-
visions in one or two job levels
might amount to as much as $500,
thereby providing the relatively few
workers in these categories an $3.50
increase.
The Senate Republican leadership
had asked the committee to revise
the bill to keep its cost down, but
the measures reported today prob
ably will exceed the estimated $780,
100000 cost Of the original Flanders
Baldwin measure.
