Ball Urges 81 Billion
Limit on First Years
Spending for ERP
by the Assoeioted Press

A proposal to cut the first years
spending under the Marshall plan
to $500 100000 will be laid before
20 Republican Senators soon by
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota. He told reporter he in
tends to offer that figure to the
group which has been seeking to al
ter the European Recovery Program.
He said he expects a meeting in the
next few days.
Senator Balls proposal would cut
$1,000, 10000 off the $500, ,000, 900
total approved by the Senate For
eign Relations Committee for the
II months beginning April l. 1t
would provide only the actual
amount the administration has esti-
mated would be spent, and would
make no allowance for the carry
over the State Department has said
Is necessary if orders are to be
placed far enough in advance so
that the pipeline Of supplies to
Europe would be kept filled without
a break.
Wallace to Be Heard.
The foreign aid program will be
discussed pv Henry A. Wallace to-
morrow before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
Mr.. Wallace has been criticizing
tho odpoi ctpo tiopc 1,,Lo1o foroiop
policy as likely to lead to war rather
than peace. He has hit hardest at
that part of the policy centered
around the Marshall Plan for Euro
pean recovery. Now the committee
is giving him forum to say it all
over again.
The committee is considering both
the Marshall Plan and President
Truman's more recent request for
S570,000,000 worth of economic help
for China.
Only the European Recovery Pro-
gram was before the committee
when Mr.. Wallace asked to be heard
But the former Vice President let
it be known he doesn't like the
Ch1neSe AID program, either.
Statement Issued.
In statement issued in New
York last night, Mr.. Wallace said
it is Just another part of the ad-
ministration's policy of sending
money and military supplies to
bolster reactionary governments
against the will of their people"
Mr. Wallace noted that the help
for China is supposed to be purely
economic and not military. But he
said this contention is exposed" by
Mr.. Truman's own words that the
aid will let the Chinese government
devote its limited dollar resources
to the most urgent of its other
needs"
Mr.. Wallace charged that United
States Army officers are training
new Chinese government forces and
that American bases "are now be-
ing secretly erected in Tsingtao and
Formoss."

Ship Returns rs Miles to Find
And Save Man Who Fell in Sea
Carpenter, AfIoot
3 Hours, Survives
1000 Chance
BY the Assoeioted Press

ABOARD THE SIS SANTA CLARA
Feb. 23.-His chance of rescue was
"one in a thousand" but Ships
Carpenter Thpmas Montanez could
tell the story today Of how it feels
to fall overheard and be rescued by
the same ship three hours later.
1t happened in the Caribbean
when Mr.. Montanez, 32-year-old
New Yorker, lost his balance leaning
against a bulWark of the Santa
Clara. He fell into the sea- unable
to shout before striking the water
When he came to the surface the
ship was pulling away at II knots an
hour and was out of earshot.
"I prayed to God to help me stay
afloat," the seaman said. Overhead
he saw a seabird circling land I
felt it was a good spirit come to keep
me company"
The Santa Clara was Is miles
away when Capt. John Jordan
heard the carpenter was missing
and decided to search for him. Not
all was left to fate and chance. He
carefully questioned crewmen as to
when the missing sailor was last
seen and computed the approximate
area in which he might have gone
overheard.
All the crew and passengers joined
in seemingly futile watching
game, straining their eyes over the
waters for a head, or an arm.
Norbert Berghoff, a passenger
from Fort Wayne, Ind, was the
man who spotted the seaman. To
him it was like finding "a needle in
haystack"
"Just a few minutes before sight
ing our man, I had remarked to a
fellow passenger, What thrill it
would be to be the one to sight our
objective" he said.
The aspect of the whole affair
that amazed me was that ship
could be brought back for about
Is miles, and after three hours
steam to within 225 feet of the man
overheard" he said.
Captain Jordan was not the least

already have been held in the
Senate. A similar measure is due
to come before House Judiciary
subcommittee Wednesday.
Strangely enough. the Southern
ers don't blame the Republicans for
trying to run the steamroller over
them.
Instead, they contend that Presi-
dent Truman forced the issue by
his demand for action. The South
erners reason that the Republicans
must accept that challenge or lose
the minority vote in the North which
both parties are angling for.
The Dixie governors waiting to see
Senator McGrath came here under
orders from the Southern Governors
Conference to lay the South's COM
plant before party headquarters
and demand an answer.
1--WE really mean business" Gov.
Thurmond of South Carolina told
a reporter as the five-man delega-
ton went into a huddle yesterday
to plan the presentation of the
Dixie case.
1--WE are in a fighting mood" he
added when the meeting broke up
several hours later
A series of questions to be shot at
Senator McGrath was drafted with
the help of group of lawyers.
Thus the meeting appeared likely
to take. on something of a court
room air-with Senator McGrath on
the witness stand.
Senator McGrath showed no signs
of giving in to the Southerners.
In a JackSon-JefferSon Day ad-
dress at Providence, R. l., last night
the national chairman declared that
"the Democratic Party is on trial"
Asking his listeners whether the
party has "the forthrightness to
stand up for human rights?" he
added: & r.r u..
Unless We support a policy that
leads to better way of life for all
mankind, then we have no message
at all in life
1t was Senator McGrath who gave
the word to open today's meeting to
Gov. Thurmond said he
favored such a step but that the
decision would be left to the chair
man.

ator McGrath's response. Let them

less Mr.. Benes accepts the resig-
nations.
Critical Meeting Continues.
The Social Democrats continued
a critical executive committee meet
ing. The only announcement was
that two party members who spoke
Saturday at Communist rallies in
Hradec Kralove and Prague had
been expelled.
The. Ministry of Information de-
MED that an order had been is
sued keeping non-Communist en-
ployes out of the Czech broadcast
center. The Communist controller
in Bratislava. however, refused to
allow the Slovak Minister of In
formation, Josef Lukacevic. to go
on the Slovak broadcast system with
a statement.
Since Friday night President
Benes had refused GottWald's S
demand that GottWald be allowed to
appoint Communist sympathizers to
succeed IL anti-Communist minis
ters who have offered their resigna-
tiOnS.
His first scheduled meeting today
was with leaders of the Slovak
Democrats, the dominant anti-Com-
munist party in semiautonomous
Slovakia and one of the three parties
that Withdrew these ministers. The
president is an independent.
Mr.. Benes has refused to accept
the designations or to give Gottwald
his way. He said Saturday he
wanted to go on with the national
front coalition. The Social Dem
ocrats. also in the coalition, have
not tried to pull out.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

BY now you have probably at
least touch Of spring fs%Sr. With
me, it seems to be a ckGehic condi-
ton which occurs at intervals all
through the year with little regard
for season. Spring fever would be
rather pleasant disease II we had
nothing to do but stretch, yawn,
lie in the sun or wander about out
doors watching the birds build their
nests and the trees blossom into
leaf or flower.
Spring tonics certainly are not
what they used to bel We no
longer pour vile tasting concoctions
down our throats to give our sys-
TENS a pickup. What we keep out
of our throat seems to be more i'm
portant. I am thinking of short
reducing period as a modern spring
tonic. This gives our morale as
well as our system a boost!
Many women struggle along in
definitely with just 10 or Is pounds
too much. Even this small amount
of overweight gives one a roll over
the girdle and noticeable pad on
the tummy or hips or both. 1t
makes all the difference between a
sleek feeling and pleasure in wear
ing clothes and chubby matronly
feeling.
I think women make a mistake
in not dividing their work or their
efforts in behalf of reducing into
small amounts of time 1t is easier
to stick to a routine for definite
length of time than to set the eyes
on a far-aWay goal which may
seem dlscouraging and practically
impossible to accomplish. This is
especially true if you have some
idea of how much weight you can
lose in the set time limit.
Once you make up your mind to
remain on given diet for a week
or nine days or two weeks. then be
determined about it! With this
short session of self discipline you
can certainly play fair. Once you
begin breaking over on small items
VI loOu you are lOSL.
My nine-day reducing diet will
give you loss of from 5 to 10
pounds in nine days time. 1t is
safe and has a doctors approval.
Why not lose those pounds before
buying summer clothes? You will
enjoy your shopping much more!'
I am going to give you an exercise
a day to 60 along with your nine
day reducing tonic. If you have no
overweight but have unattractively
distributed poundage you can leave
the diet off and just do the exer-
cises.
This is today's exercise:
Walk forward. swinging each leg
forward and upward before you
place the foot on the floor for your
step. Swing, step, swing. step
with first one foot and then the
other. Keep your knees stiff and
swing forward from the hips.
If you wish to have my nine-day
reducing diet. send a stamped, self
addressed envelope with your request
for leaf1et No. 80 to Josephine Low
man in care Of The Evening Star.
