New Meeting Today
'0f ERp Conierees
Sought by Bridges
Dy ne Assssisisd Press

The administrations foreign
aid program was imperiled today
by two immovable objects" sit
ting $1,000, 100000 apart on the
senate-House conference COM
mittee on foreign aid funds.
Senator Bridges, Republican, Of
New Hampshire, chairman Of the
Joint Committee. applied the "im-
movable label after efforts to reach
a compromise between the House ap-
preparation and a Senate figure more
than $1,000, 100000 higher broke
down completely last night.
The Senator made plans to get
the group together again today. But
he was pessimistic over chances to
reach agreement before tonight's
scheduled adjournment.
Taft Is Optimistic. !
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
chairman Of the Senate Republican |
Policy Committee, was more conf
dent. These things always happen.
he told newsmen, 'but they generally
get together again"
Senator Taft said Congress should
not adjourn until it passed ''satis-
factory European Recovery Pro-
gram appropriation" He indi-
Gated that if necessary he would
favor a further session Monday
and, If that failed, another meeting
after the political conventions.
Il am prepared to stand with
Senator Vandenberg's view of what
Is essential to carry out our moral
commitment" he said.
Deadlock Over Duration.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
Of Michigan led the fight for Senate
adoption of ahe S6,125, ,71O,228 fund
to be used over a 12-month period
But the House cut that sum, and
voted to spread 1t over Is months
thus increasing the cut. On the
issue of the programs duration the
conference group was hopelessly
deadlocked.
Representative Taber, Republican,
Of New York, who engineered the
slash in the House, told reporters
after last nights fruitless session:
There is no agreement on any
thing. It's over"
When Senator Bridges emerged
from the conference he said there
will be no foreign aid bill unless
there is some basis for us to get to-
gether." He added:
This Is just q case Of two i'm
movable objects coming in contact
with each other and that's how we
stand"
Military Aid Involved.
Both houses have voted $4,000
100000 for the European Recovery
Program, in addition to $1,000, ,00O,-
900 appropriated last March, but
the House wants the money to last
three months longer than the
Senate.
Other items involved in the for
eign aid bill include military aid
to Greece and Turkey, military and
civilian aid to China, government
and relief in occupied areas, the
International Refugee Organization
and the International Children's
Emergency Fund. z>'er~s =

Keeping Fire Out Of Woods Paid Big
Dividends To This Timber Landowner

Living proof of the value of
keeping fire out of the woods is
a 125 acre tract of mixed pine
and hardwood trees owned by G..
w. Chadwick of the Stronghope
community near Wesson.
Mr.. Chadwick who proclaims
himself 81 years young purchased
1870 acres of land which includes
the timbered tract in 1899. He
knows from personal experience
that it is a money making propo-
sition to harvest trees selectively
and to keep them free from fire.
In the last 40 years he has sold
approximately $4,000 worth of
timber from this woodland and
has about the same value in mer-
charitable stock at the present
time but states that he is inter
ested in harvesting his timber
only in such a manner that he
can receive some cash now and
save some trees for his future
and for the future generation.
Recently MI. Chadwick re-
quested Area Forest Ranger Mon
roe James of the Mississippi For
estry Commission to assist him
in estimating his timber and Sc
lectively marking some of the
trees to be sold. Despite his age,
Mr.. Chadwick accompanied Rang
er James on the trip and while
cruising the timber stated that he
had known the place most of his
life and since he could remember
there had not been any fire In
the woods. "There were many
times when it was a hard job to
keep fire off my land but some
how we were always successful
he declared.
The fast-growing fine hardwood
and pine trees reveal the results
of his fire protection. They are
free of scars which are present
on most timber being harvested
in the state.
"a low estimate of the damage
a fire would do to my trees is
$1,000 per acre, so I am well pleas
ed at paying two cents an acre
to have organized help in keep
ing fire off my woodland" Mr..
Chadwick asserts.
According to Ranger James
every timber landowner can have
a good paying woodlot if they
will protect their trees from fire
and practice good harvesting
methods.
