By ERp Cited by Head
OF WATCH Dog Group.
By J. A. O'Ieory

Western Europe is making ere
markably good progress toward
economic recovery under the Mar
shall Plan, in the opinion of Sena-
tor Smith, Republican. of New
Jersey, acting chairman Of the
congressional watch dog" COM
mittee.
The Senator also predicted the
new Congress will get from the CO.
operating nations an estimate of
next years needs big enough to
take your breath away"
1T will be up to us to say how
much of 1t should be undertaken, .
he added.
The acting chairman expressed
his views after the watchdog
Committee spent three hours late
yesterday going over the results to
date in a closed session with Paul
G. Hoffman, economic cooperation
administrator.
Mr.. Hoffman left Immediately on
an around -the-world flight to get
more information first-hand. Be
fore departing he told a separate
press conference this country very
definitely should embark on a
stronger program of buying vitality
needed defense materials abroad
He also urged Congress to strength
en- parts of the Marshall Plan in
tended to encourage American busi-
ness investments abroad.
The $4,000, 100000 this Congress
made available to start the ECA

dicated he will recommend a ST.
$50, 900 900 deficiency fund to keep
the program going until appropria-
tions are made for the new fiscal
year commencing July l.
Other high lights of Senator

The watchdog" committee has nc
request from Nine. Chang Kai-shek

plea for more American aid, ano
expects none. Senator Smith point
ed out that the committees juris-
diction is. confined to supervising
economic aid, and would have nc
control over the policy involved In
doing anything more to aid China
in the war against the Communists
Former Ambassador William c.
Bullitt's current study of conditions
in China was undertaken at the
request of Senator Bridges, Republi-
can, of New Hampshire, committee
chairman, because there was not
time for the committee to meet be-
fore he left. Senator. Smith added
/ that he was not criticizing the Bull
lit mission, and thinks lit probably
was wise" Mr. Bullitt has not yet
made his report.

New French Proposal
On Ruhr Runs Counter
To British-U. 5. Plans
By the Associated Press

A new French program threatened
today to snag carefully laid British
American plans for boosting pro-
duction m Germany's Ruhr in
duStrieS.
The French proposal, presented
at the State Department yesterday,
calls for lasting international
supervision over German coal, iron
and steel output.
That seemed certain to clash
head-on with the American view
that the Germans will produce more
if they have sole power to manage
their own industries. The only
safeguard proposed in the British
American plan would be western
control over distribution of Ruhr
products.
French Ambassador Henri Bon
net, who submitted the French pro-
gram to Undersecretary of State
Lovett in what he called a very
serious" note, criticized the Ameri-
can position sharply in speaking to
reporters later.
Calls Plan "Window Dressing"
Any idea that the rebirth of Ger
man militarism can be prevented by
merely controlling distribution Of the
Ruhr factories is pure window
dressing" he said.
/. I'VE most certainly don't think
this is enough in view of what hap
pened after the last war; Ambassa-
dor Bonnet declared, adding: Il
insisted very seriously and strongly
on this point"
The program the Ambassador
presented would set up an inser-
national Ruhr authority - minus
Russia - which would have the
right to:
/. De-centralize German industry
by breaking up the complicated GeN
man cartels and holding companies
which fed Hitler's war machine.
2. Gust all "Nazis" from positions
of Importance in the Ruhr industries.
3. Control production and develop
ment of these industries and guide
investment of profits.
Proposal Called Too Vague.
Government officials indicated
they had special objections to the
third point. They called 1t too
vague and all-inclusive, since it ap-
parently would give the Western
Allies a voice in managing the Ruhr
industries even after occupation
troops are withdrawn.
They indicated they will continue
to stand by the recently announced
British american decision to give
the future German government the
right to determine final ownership
of the nations industries.
Representatives of France, Brit
ain, the United States, Belgium,
Holland and Luxembourg now are
meeting in London to discuss what
powers to give the international
authority which would watch over
the Ruhr. during the remainder of
the. occupation period.
The French note proposes the
policy to be followed after British,
American and French troops are
pulled out.
1T is important to set a good
foundation now for this interna-
tional authority" Bonnet told news
men. That is why we are letting
you know what we think about the
future at this time"

i dor to France in 1888 Sumner
Welles is a former Undersecretary
| of State.
Mr.. Welles told a reporter he
couldn't even guess now at the
nature of a note he might have sent
the German Ambassador II years
ago. Nor, he said, could he say how
important 1t might have been. He
also said he had no idea who could
have slipped the document out OF
| the State Department.
! The Bullitt telegram was labeled
strictly confidential for the Secre-
tary.' A notation said 1t must be
closely paraphrased before being
communicated to any one"
Mr.. Stripping said the microfilms
would have made it easy to break
an American code.
At the time they got into Mr.
Chambers hands, Mr.. Mundt said
Mr.. Chambers was a Washington
contact for the Communist under
ground in America.
Mr.. Chambers testified at the
committees spy hearings last sum-
mer that he was in the under
ground for several years before
breaking with the Reds in 1888.
| He didn't volunteer any informa-
ton then about the microfllms, and
there was no explanation of his fail
ure to produce them.
Mr.. Mundt's statement last night
was issued from his home at Madi-
son, S. OAK, through the commit
tee Offices here. He said he will
come to Washington as soon as he
can.
! Since he becomes q Senator jan
uary 3, hearings in which he could
take part would have to be run of
before then.
Mr.. Stripping said several other
people besides Mr.. Chambers already
have been subpoenaed for a re-
sumption of hearings. He would
not supply names.

3 Unions Block Labor Peace Refuse Wage Boost
Already Accepted by Is Other Railroad Unions!

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen and the Switchmen's
Union of North America, representing
$4,000 railroad employees, have refused
to accept the offer of the Railroads of a
wage increase of 15N cents an hour.
This is the same increase awarded
100000 incorporating employees by an
arbitration board in September, 1947.
h is the same increase accepted by
$4,000 conductors, trainmen and switch
men by agreement on November Ia, 1947.
Agreements have been made with
1,175,000 employees, represented by nine
teen unions. But these three unions, rep
~resenting only 1885, 600 men, are trying to
get more. They are demanding also many
new working rules not embraced in the
settlement with the conductors and train
men. : a lii:
incidentally, the Switchmen's Union of
North America represents only about 10
of all railroad s~witchmen, the other $3.50
being represented by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen and covered by the
settlement with that union.
Strike Threat
The leaders of these three unions spread a
strike ballot while negotiations were still
in progress. This is not a secret vote but is
taken by union leaders and votes are
signed by the employees in the presence
of union representatives.
When direct negotiations failed, the
leaders of these three unions refused to
join the railroads in asking the National
Mediation Board to attempt to settle the
dispute, but the Board took jurisdiction
at the request of the carriers and has been
earnestly attempting since November "a,
1947, to bring about a settlement. The
Board on january Is, 1913, announced
its inability to reach a mediation settle
ment. The leaders of the unions rejected
the request of the Mediation Board to
arbitrate. The railroads accepted.
