Marshall Points
CWashington Postl


 Tn it's first official statement the Committee for the Marshall Plan to Aid European Recovery has summarized with admirable spccnctness and simplicity four ndisrensable attributes which European aid program must possess if it is to achieve it's essential purposes Former Secretary of War Robert P. Pat terson chairman of the groups executive committee stated these basic attributes as follows.
 l. Effective aid is prompt aid
 2 Effective aid is aid to do the whole
 job
 B. Effective aid is based on mutual respect
 and honor.
 Effective aid is aid which will bring
 recovery and self-support and not a hopeless
 load of debt.
 These seem to us to constitute the sine qua non of an effective aid program. Any scheme which, in the name of economy nationalism attempts to whttle these essentials down will prove eXtravagant and injurious to national interest The four points are well worth keeping in mind as easy touchstones by which citizens may test what may be proposed in Congress. The Committee for the Marshall Plan has initiated it's public c-service campaign in most useful and Illuminating way

TOUGH BUDGET TO CUT

Senate Republicans discussed the worlds largest bankroll behind closed doors the other day and finally admitted that two billions is the most that can be trimmed off the Presidents domestic budget.
 The Senators gathered in the stately marble caucus room, swung the ponderouS doors shut behind them and sWeated for two hours over this great problem in subtrac- ten. The tig voices, policy-chair- man Bob Taft, conference-chair- man Eugene Millikin Of Colorado and experimentation Styles Bridges oi New Hampshire, did most of the talking
 Taft urged that the Republicans set a certain figure and then trim the budget to try to meet it.
 At best he admitted, it would te an intelligent guess. But we should try to stay within it, recog- nizing, of course, that some emer- geney might come up
 Millikin suggested slicing off a total of two billion dollars from the Presidents estimate, shaving a little from each Government agency. Bridges warned that two billions was the most the Govern ment's housekeeping expenses could be reduced. He read a list of ap- prcpriations that might have to be cut When his ax fell sharply on reclamation projects, Senator Milt Young Of North Dakota inter rupted.
 What are you trying to do" he said, give away the election?"
 T am just trying to illustrate. ," explained the New Hampshire Senator, what it means when you talk about making cuts. If we start cutting this budget, we are not going to get all the projects we would like to have"

Proof OF success In the campaign
against venereal disease In Wash
ington was revealed today by the
Health Department.
The intensive, year-long drive
started three months ago. Under
the direction Of DR.. s. Ross Taggart,
director Of the Health Departments
Bureau of Venereal Diseases, the
aim was Ito inform all the people
in the Washington area of the signs
and symptoms of VD, and to bring
the infected to treatment"
Today, the department announced
more than $500 persons have been
examined for VD at public clinics
and by private physicians since the
start Of the campaign.
The clinics alone have reported a
monthly average of close to $500
for the period. representing an in
crease Of A per cent over the num-
ber reporting for examination dur
ing the first quarter Of the year.
Patients found to be infected have
received free treatment at the three
clinics, located at Delaware avenue
and I street S.W., Seventh and p
streets NV. and at Freedmeu's
Hospital.
In addition, a total of 1883 cases

Another indication Of the success
Of the Health Departments educa-

cial VD information section, which

science of military intelligence,
recalled the global facts that
have been falling in to place, one
by one, like the pieces of a cross
word puzzle.
"A single fact doesn't mean
anything" ran his thoughts, "but
when many, apparently unrelated,
facts began to fit together into
a pattern, picture is painted for
anyone who wants to see"
The Russian purpose is clear,
thought the general, the purpose
that remains to be defined is our
own.
1--WE haven't enough men in
uniform. But, more important
than that, we don't have the
weapons. I takes longer to forge
weapons than to train men to use
them"
General Llewellyn had re-
viewed some of these facts at
noon in a brief talk to Kenne-
wick Kiwanians. Referring to a
veteran of the Battle of Kasserine
Pass, he told his listeners that
losses Kasserine were heavy.
They were heavy because Ameri-
can forces were fighting superior
weapons with pop guns. The
losses were heavy because people
If towns like Kennewick, all over
the nation, failed to send to con-

was still something seen only by
our leaders.
The parade continued, with 80
horsemen from the Walla Walla
Wagon Wheelers, a color guard
and poster carried by the organ
lied reserve corps Of Richland
and a float from the Kennewick
Sportsmen's association.
After the parade, the general
spoke further. In his personal
and non-professional opinion, the
potentialities of the atom bomb
are almost unlimited. But that
estimate, he said, is no better
than that of anyone else.
He told about his trip to the
northern perimeter desenses of
the United States-in Alaska, the
Aleutians, in Canada. The plan
ming there, he said, is excellent.
But funds are too restricted to
permit augmentation of the
planning.

e., Roy Skill, district manager OF

Commenting on the letter of
the State Department of Health,
E. J. Brand, manager of the Ken
newick Irrigation District, dis
closed that the District is also
completing a survey of their IA
cilities, and referred to his re-
marks, made to a large body OF
Kennewick business men and
farmers at the annual Highlands
Improvement club oyster feed
Friday.
In the course of outlining the
picture of community water sup
ply as it exists today, Brand de-
clared that it is necessary for one
central agency to own and oper-
ate both systems to avoid costly
duplication of plant facilities and
to provide for future growth.
when I took over managership
of the District in 1892" Brand
recalled, 1--WE were making only
ITO deliveries of domestic water.
That figure now exceeds 500, and
we must make provision for
another 1000 domestic deliveries
before the year is out.

continued, "for the government

ties In cur area, to saddle this
terrific burden of expansion on q

On Steady Increase

In reporting the meeting of the
National Cancer Society which
she attended last week in Seattle,
Mrs. A. B. Donahue says they were
told that the number of cancer
cases in the United States is now
steadily increasing. In spite Of
better care and medical research
there were 2,728 recorded deaths
from cancer in the state of Wash
ington last year.
These figures give vital interest
to the presentation made by DR.,
