ORDER. OF
PUBLICATION


The object of this suit is tc pro-
cure a decree of absolute divorce
vinculo matrimonii by the plain
tiff from the defendant, for GUS
tody OF minor children, and for
general relief. The Bill states that
plaintiff has resided in Montgom-
cry County, Maryland, for more
than one year Immediately preced-
ing the filing of this suit; that the
defendant is a nonresident Of the
State of Maryland, and that plain
tiff does not know his where
abouts; that the parties were mar
ried at Washington, D.. c., on
August 10, 1929; that two chill
dren were born of said marriage,
namely, Joyce Lee, now aged four
teen years, and jeanne, now aged
eleven years; that both children
reside with plaintiff; that defend
ant on November 7, 1916, without
just cause, abandoned the plain
tiff; that such abandonment has
continued uninterruptedly since
that time, and for at least
eighteen months, is deliberate and
final, and the separation of the
parties beyond any reasonable ex-
pectation of reconciliation.
1t is thereupon, this 10th day
of March, 1913, by the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County,
Maryland, as a Court of Equity,
ordered that the plaintiff, by caus-
ing a copy of this Order to be
inserted in some newspaper pub
lished in Montgomery County,
Maryland, one in each of four sue
cessive weeks before the 18th day
of April, 1948, give notice to said
nonresident defendant of the
object and substance Of this Bill,
warning him to appear in this
Court in person or by solicitor, on
or before the Both day of April,
1913, to show cause, if any he
has, why a decree should not be
passed as prayed.

Enormously Complex.
The problem we face is enor-
mously complex. 1t affects not only
our country and Europe, but almost
every other part of the globe.
We wish to present to you in
the simplest possible way a full
explanation of the executive branch
recommendations for aid to Eu-
rope. Our presentation will entail
the appearance of high officials
from the agencies of the Govern
ment intimately concerned. Others
will give you more detailed infor-
nation on the many factors to be
considered.
I will confine my remarks to the
three basic questions involved:
First, "Why does Europe need
help2" Second. How much help
is needed?" And third, "How
should help be given?"
The why" Europe is still emerg-
ing from the devastation and dis
location of the most destructive war
in history. Within its own re-
sources Europe cannot achieve
within q reasonable time economic
stability. The war more or less
destroyed the mechanism whereby
Europe supported itself in the past
and the initial rebuilding Of that
oschanism requires outside assist

/ saying that broadly we know exact
ly what we will do if recognition
Is accorded the Vafiades junta."
One Foreign Office source, how
ever, limited that the British may
incline to the viewpoint attributed
to certain elements in the State
Department, who are said to be
ready to reorganize the United Ma
tions without Russia and her
friends" in real East-West diplo-
matte showdown.
He explained the British-Amer-
lean policy chiefs feel that the U. N.
Little Assembly" with the Soviet
bloc states absent, would be an in
effective place in which to deal with
the situation.
The Security Council, with Russia
able to veto any action proposed by
the western powers, would be equally
unsatisfactory.
1t was possible, however, the in
formant said, that the British and
Americans, in the course of special
session OF the U. N. General As
sembly, could get two-thirds ma
jority to approve joint bilaterial ac-
tion-even military action-to guar
antee Greek independence"
| And If Yugoslavia, for instance,
were one of the countries which
recognized Vafiades, Britain and the
United States might call for her ex-
pulsion from the U. N. on the
grounds that she had violated the
Charter, the source said.
The refusal of Russia and her
supporters to accept action of this
kind would seem to leave mo alter
native other than to reorganize the
United Nations without them," he
added.
How far the British are prepared
to go militarily to save" Greece
appeared uncertain. A War Office
spokesman said no further move
ments of British troops either into
or out of Greece have been ordered
or are intended"
But an official in touch with the
cabinet said he did not rule out the
possibility of more British troops
being sent to the troubled kingdom.

In his speech, viewed in London
as referring to the recent series OF
Balkan alliances between various

offered Turkeys hand in friendship
to all countries, whatever their in
ternal systems.
Many British observers regarded
the speech as cautious Turkish

escaping catastrophe is to come to

Truman's message to the Congress
on December 10. 1947. They were
further explained in the proposed
draft legislation and background
material furnished to this committee
at that time by the Department Of
State. Taking as the basic genuine
European co-operation-the maxi
mum of self-help and mutual help
on the part of the participating
European countries-the program
aims to provide these countries, until
the end of June, 1852, with those
portions of their essential imports
from the Western Hemisphere which
they themselves cannot pay for.
These essential imports include not
only the food. Fuel and other sup
plies, but also equipment and ma
terials to enable them to increase
their productive capacity. They
must produce and export consider
ably more goods than they did in
prewar times If they are to become
self-supporting, even at a lower
standard of living.
During the first Is months exports
from the European countries will
provide current revenue sufficient
to cover almost their entire import
needs from sources outside the
Western Hemisphere and also about
one third of their requirements from
the Western Hemisphere.
It is not proposed that the United
States provide aid to the full ex-
tent of Western Europe's remaining
trade deficit with the western Hem
isphere. Funds from sources other
than the United States Treasury
are expected to carry part of the
load. These will be, principally,
credits and other forms of assistance
from other countries in our hemi-
sphere, loans from the international
Bank and private sources and a
further slight reduction in European
reserves. It is the final deficit, after
all those other means of financing

q,

There cannot be two Secretaries Of
State. I do, not wish to interfere
in the proper operations Of the
ECA. The organizational structure
we have proposed provides a means
for giving appropriate direction and
control in matters of foreign policy
to the administrator of the ECA
with least interference in the busi-
nesslike conduct of his task. In this
connection he must coordinate his
affairs with the legal responsibilities
charged to the Secretaries of Com
merce and Agriculture.
The man who accepts the chal-
lenge of the great task of admin
istering the European recovery pro-
gram must be a man Of great
breadth, ability and stature. I have
no qualms but that with such
man, and the able aides he will
choose, and my staff can form a
smoothly working team for handling
the complicated problems in foreign
relationships which will arise in the
course of the program. In my judg-
ment, the organizational proposals
which have been put forward rep
resent sound and practical arrange
ment of functions and a framework
for successful administration.
Conclusion.
What are the prospects of success
OF such program for the economic
recovery Of a continent? It would
be absurd to deny the existence Of
obstacles and risks. Weather and
the extent Of world crops are un-
predictanle. The possible extent of
political sabotage and the effective
ness with which its true intentions
are unmasked and thus made suscep-
tible to control cannot be fully FORE
seen. All we can say is this program
does provide the means for success
and if we maintain the will for sue
cess believe that success will be
achieved.
To be quite clear, this unprece-
dented endeavor of the New World
to help the Old is neither sure nor
easy. 1t Is a calculated risk. But
there can be no doubts as to the
alternatives. The way of life that
we have known Is literally in
balance.
Our country is now faced with q
momentous decision. If we decide
that the United States Is unable or
unwilling effectively to assist in the
reconstruction of Western Europe
we must accept the consequences Of
its collapse into the dictatorship Of
police states.

a majority OF the workers IN an
election.
]. C. Niehuss, GsI personnel
manager, said that between $50 and
300 of the workers on duty when
the strike began are now on the
job. Yesterday about $4,000 Of the
10000 Government employees who
usually eat at the GSI cafeterias
had one or more meals there, he
said.
Although operations are not nor
NAL, customers are finding hot
meals at every cafeteria and are
not obliged to eat sandwiches, he
said. Commerce and B Building
cafeterias have resumed their own
baking.
Accident in Cafeteria.
An accident indirectly related to
the strike occurred at the Num-
tions Building cafeteria this morn
ing, when an assistant manager was
burned in an oven explosion.
Working at an unfamiliar job,
Denny Bellucci, 81, of 2163 South
Fern street, Arlington, suffered first
and second degree burns as he
attempted to light the oven at
$40 am.
He remained on the job for half
an hour before another supervisory
employe took him to Emergency
Hospital for treatment.
The United States Employment
Service denied it had given job
referrals for GSI cafeteria work
after such an accusation was made
by the union.
Mr.. Bancroft said two men told
him they had cards from the USES
Office at SOB K street NV, but
that he did not see the cards him
self. The men were halted by
pickets as they sought to enter the
Navy Annex and agreed not to work.
Mr.. Bancroft said he was sending
a telegram to Robert Morrison, man.
ager of the USES Office, protesting
against referring workers to the
cafeterias. A spokesman for the
Office said no workers had been re-
ferred, or would be.

essential imports have been utilized,
that it is proposed be covered by
American aid.
In each succeeding year of the
program increased production and
increased trade from Europe is ex-
pected to reduce the amount of
assistance needed, until after mid
1852, when it is calculated that the
participating countries will have
recovered ability to support them
selves.
The recommended program Of
300, ,000, 900 for the first Is months
reflects a searching and compre-
hensive investigation by the Execu-
tive Branch of European needs and
of availabilities in the United States
and other supplying countries,
taking full account of the findings
of the Hartman, Krug and Nourse
Committees.
Computed with Precision.
The program of $500, ,00C, 900 for
the first Is months has been COM
puted with precision. I wish to
emphasize that this amount does
not represent a generous estimate
of requirements. It is not an "ask-
ing figure" based on anticipated re-
auctions prior to approval. 1t re-
fleets a rigorous screening OF the
proposals developed by the CEEC
and a realistic appraisal of avail
abilities. In our judgment Ameri-
can assistance in this magnitude is
required to initiate a program of
genuine recovery and to take both
Europe and this nation out of the
blind alley of mere continuing re-
lief.
The total estimated cost Of the
program is now put at somewhere
between SIS, 100 100000 to $780,
100000. But this will depend on de-
velopments each year, the progress
made and unforeseeable variations
in the weather as 1t affects crops.

decided to stage mass demonstra-
tions before four or five key Gov
eminent buildings where cafeterias
are located. This was called of
with announcement of the high
level meeting today.
They did intensity the picketing
in front of such departments as
Interior, Commerce and Navy be-
tween 5 and 7 am. During that
period about 20 pickets paraded in
stead of the usual four or five.
That the AFL is out to seize the
collective bargaining rights among
GSI cafeteria workers was definitely
announced by Charles E. Sands, in
ternational representative of the
Hotel and Restaurant Employees In
ternational Alliance and Bartenders
International League of America.
Bluntly, he said:. "A sufficient
number of the employees of Govern
ment Services, Inc, have signed uI
with us, proving that the CIO-UCW

sentiment or desires of these
workers"
AFL Distributes Cards.
The AFL organizers were dis
tributing two kinds of cards, one
for strikers to sign and the other
for those now working. The care
for strikers read in part:
you are on strike, not on q
bread and butter issue-the issue is
political. Had your officers signed
as required under the law, negotia-
tions could be continued and per-
haps you would have come up with
improved working conditions, but
no, the ego Of your officers had to be
satisfied.
"A shame, you are misguided
now make the best of it-sign up
with us and we will insist that
the company meet with us, we'll
present the same demand already
formulated. The company cannot
refuse to meet with us. We are

lations Board, qualified to repre-
sent all hotel and restaurant work.

They say you are strike-break-

fused to strike on a political issue,
The misleadership that called a
strike to satisfy their own ego is
nothing short of a crime. Why did
they refuse to sign the non-Com-
munists affidavits-are they afraid
to, are they afraid to tell you where
their 5 (your 9 come from and
go?"
Claiming 10000 members in the
District, the AFL union lashed out
at the C1O for striking on political
issue.

Situation Seen IS Grave.
The situation was regarded 50
grave by CIO unionists that the
UPWA, parent organization Of the
cafeteria workers, called of q semi
annual Executive Committee meet
ing in New York next week to
concentrate on the strike.
With the AFL moving in the C1O
group was in an untenable position
because of the refusal of both the
National Labor Relations Board and
the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service to intervene.
The NLRB has refused to certify
the CIO Cafeteria Workers for a

The overall cost is not capable OF
precise determination so far In ad-
vance.
Can We Afford 1t?
In developing the program of
American assistance, no question
has been more closely examined
than the ability Of the United States
to provide assistance in the magni-
tudes proposed. Both in terms of
physical resources and In terms of
financial capacity, our ability to
support such a program seems clear.
Representatives of the Executive
Branch more closely familiar than
I with the domestic economy will
provide further testimony on this
issue, but I should like to remind
you of the conclusions Of the three
special committees which explored
this matter in detail during the
summer and fall.
The proposed program does in
volve some sacrifice on the part OF
the American people, but it should
be kept in mind that the burden
of the program diminishes rapidly
after the first is months. Con-
siderations of the cost must be re-
lated to the momentous objective on
the one hand and to the probable
price of the alternatives. The
SC, 800 900, 900 proposed for the first
Is months is less than single
months charge of the war. A world
Of continuing uneasy half-peace
will create demands for constantly
mounting expenditures for defense.
This program should be viewed as an
investment in peace. In those terms,
the cost is low.
III-HOW?
The third main consideration
which, I feel, should be borne in
mind in connection with this meas
ure is that relating to conditions
OF terms upon which American
assistance will be extended. It is
the obvious duty of this Government
to insure insofar as possible that
the aid extended should be effective
ly used to promote recovery and
not diverted to other purposes,
whatever their nature. This aspect
Of the program is perhaps the most
delicate and difficult, and one which
will require the exercise of a mature
judgment and intelligent UNDER
standing of the nature of the prob
lem faced by the European govern
ments and Of our particular position
of leadership in this matter. We
must always have in mind that
we are dealing with democratic
governments of sovereign nations.
We will be working with group
of nations each with long and
proud history. The peoples of these
countries are highly skilled, able and
energetic, and justly proud OF their
cultures. They have ancient tradi-
tions Of self reliance and are eager
to take the lead in working out
their own salvation.
We have stated in many ways
that American aid will not be used
to interfere with the sovereign
rights of these nations and their
own responsibility to work out their
own salvation. I cannot emphasize
too much my profound conviction
that the aid we furnish must not
be tied to conditions which would,
in effect, destroy the whole moral
justification for our cooperative
assistance toward European part
nership.
We are dealing with democratic
governments. One of the major
justifications of asking the Ameri-

I think it must be plain to all
that the circumstances which have
given birth to this program call Tor
promptness in decision and vigor
in putting the project into opera
ton. The sooner this program can
get under way the greater its
chances of success. Careful consid-
Grafton and early action are not
incompatible.
The interim aid law which the
Congress enacted last December
was designed as a stopgap measure
to cover the period until April OF
this year. In the meantime 1t
would be possible to consider the
long-term recovery measure which
we are now discussing. Unless the
program can be placed in operation
on or soon after April 1 there will,
undoubtedly, be q serious deteriora-
ton in some Of the basic conditions
upon which the whole project Is
predicated.
1t is proposed that the Congress
now authorize the program for its
full four and one-quarter year dura-
tion. although appropriations are
being requested only for the first
Is months. Annual decisions on
appropriations will afford full op-
portunity for review and control.
But a general authorization now
for the longer term will provide a
necessary foundation for the con-
tinuing effort and cooperation OF
the European countries In a pro-
gressive program Of recovery.
The amount, form, and conditions
Of the recommended program Of
American aid to European recovery
have been presented In Pread Pt
