President Agrees
To Yeur-to-Yeur
Aid Appropriation
BY the As.ocioted Press

The administration took some
but not all-of the opposition
heat of the Marshall plan today
by junking the $4,000, ,000, 900
cost estimate for long-range
economic aid to Europe.
Suggested by Chairman Vanden-
berg of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, the action was
generally hailed in Congress as re-
moving one pajor stumbling block
toward approval of four-year re-
covery program.
However, Senator Millikin of Col
orado, who heads the conference of
all Republican Senators, made it
plain that many in his party want
still other changes made.
Senator Vandenberg indicated he
expects other revisions. He sent
word to a reporter that he may not
introduce legislation for the pro-
gram until the end of hearings his
committee is to start Thursday.
Usually. bill is introduced. hear
ings held and then revised bill is
written.
A spokesman for Senator Vanden-
berg said the hearings undoubtedly
will produce ideas for other changes
and that the Senator thought it
might be we'll to wait for those be-
fore introducing legislation.
Same" Project Predicted.
Speaking on radio program
sponsored by the Republican Ma
tional Committee last night, Senator
Millikin predicted eventual approval
of sane" foreign assistance prof.
ect. But he told his listeners:
"A decent regard for what is in
the hearts of the American people
requires that the aid shall not i'm
peril our own economy and shall be
OF nature that will help our friends
abroad help themselves.
Decent regard for these duties OF
high trust will require among other
things, that the Congress shall come
up with a plan stripped clean OF
hysteria, waste. extravaganza, over
swollen aims and scatteration.
Senator Millikin said it should be
"a plan sharply focused on the ac-
complishment of vital objectives, a
plan limited in time so as to assure
performance of whatever our prom
Use may be, plan that will avoid
raising false and extravagant hopes,
a plan so constructed that the per-
formance can be watched and our
aid can be abandoned if the ins
tended purposes are not accom-
plished."
Four Year Commitment Favored.
In announcing the administra-
tion's decision to drop the request
for authority to spend up to SIT ,00O,-
600, 900 toward the recovery OF Is
Western European nations outside
the Communist orbit, Senator Van
denberg said there is no change in
the $6,800,000 900 estimate for the
first Is months of the Marshall
plans operation. And he told news
conference this figure may lead to
"a hell of lot of trouble" in Con-
gress.
But he said the retreat from the
overall sum will make it possible to

take of not feeding the 400, 000,-
600 starving children of the rest
of the world. By this tactic they
are losing a billion supporters.
These people will realize that
the western powers e not in
terested in feding and hlping the
world. Western leaderers are too
blind to see that this policy will
give the Russians evidence that
the real issue between the two
groups is white imperialism.
The colonial peoples are being
exploited. British leaders admit
that colonial development schemes
are designed to exploit the vast
natural resources and cheap labor
of colonial empires so that Britain
may get more American dollars.
Communists do not need to
send shoppers into the colonial
empires to find out the bad con-
ditions, all they need to do is
read the british newspapers, trade
reports and various papers issued
by government departments.
Every intelligent colonial knows
that the British, Belgians, Portu-
guese and utch have failed to ad-
minister their colonies properly.
Although their policies have been
condemned many times, no one
is shedding tears over the colon
! ial's plights. No one is flying food
to starving South Africans.
Unless we so-called Christian
civilized peoples put III princi-
plies into action we are simply
challenging the Reds to a gang

lin today, but it may be on a

In order to save these people,
the story goes, Britain and Ameri-

That a few yesterdays ago we

Viewed logically, it seems a pity
that the bombers did not finish
their job; there would have been
nothing for the Allies to quarrel
about and nobody to feed now.
A few months ago the lord
mayor of London was pleading in
behalf to the UN for 400, 900, 900
starving children of Europe and
Asia. The British public scraped
up 100000 to save these chill

They are Dmitri Shostakovich,
Serge Prokofieff, Aram Khatcha-

None of us has ever given or

In Hollywood, goth Century-Fox

both sexes is now at the lowest

The Institute said that only one of
every three men between the ages
of 20 and As is single, while the per-
centage for women in the same
bracket is even lower.
"The proportion of married peo-

crease" the report continued. "This
trend has been accelerated since

Stacey said the compound is
based on fluorine, which eliminates
hydrogen from oils and makes them
non-inflammable.
Present lubricants have to be
changed mainly because they partly
burn. With the oil non-inflammable
it will be practically everlasting,
provided the cars have good oil
