.AchesonD Denies
Atlantic Pact
Is Aggressive
by the Associated Press

Secretary of State Achesor
today vigorously challenged Rus
sia's charge that the proposed
North Atlantic Defense Alliance is
an aggressive" move by the West
ern powers.
Mr.. Acheson told a news con-
ference the purpose of the pact
now being drafted is exactly the
opposite.
The Russian government in a
note to Norway had condemned
lthe North Atlantic Alliance and
asserted it serves the aggressive
policy of certain powers"
The Soviet representative to the
United Nations repeated this &C
cusation yesterday in New YORK
in a bitter attack on the security
agreement being negotiated by the
United States. Canada, Britain
France, Belgium. the Netherland:
and Luxembourg.
Answering questions. Mr.. Ache
son said the alliance is fully in
keeping with the United Nations
because it comes directly out OF
Article 81 of the U. N. Charter
This provides, he recalled. for in
dividual and collective regional
arrangements to help keep the
peace.
He added that he hopes the
United States can make public q
summary Of the defense agree
ment before too long, but refused
to be more specific, saying it is
important to build the pact solidly
rather than hurriedly. He added
in answer to a question. that he
doubted that the writing OF the

Cut in ECAFunds
Would Prove Costly,
| Hoffman Warns
Germon Recovery Is
VitoI to Marshall PIon
Success, Senators Told
By ChoImers M. Roberts

Economic Cooperate Admin
istrator Paul G. Hoffman declared
today he would gladly pay in
creased taxes rather than see
Congress cut the $3.50, 100000 re-
quested to keep the Marshall Plan
going for another Is months.
He made the statement in a
question apd answer session be-
fore the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. Mr.. Hoffman added
that the cost of a cut in ECA
funds lin the long run would be
larger" if European recovery were
thus held up.
During a lengthy discussion of
the controversy over retention in
Germany of industrial plants ORR
ginally marked for reparations.
Mr.. Hoffman said "the argument
has got out of focus
Reich Recovery Vital.
Mr.. Hoffman said emphatically
it is entirely possible to encourage
the speedy recovery of Western
Germany and at the same time
adequately guard against rebuild
ing the German war potential, so
much feared by France and other
Marshall Plan nations. He said
German recovery is vital to the
Marshall Plans success.
He added that the recommen-
dations Of an ECA advisory group
which mas studied the problem are
still considered secret by the State
Department and he. therefore
could not be more definite than to
say considerably more than 300
plants we're investigated. Nego-
tiations are now under way with
the British on retention of some
of these plants in Germany.
Even if all are retained, he
pointed out. they will not raise the
level of steel production. key to
German economic recovery be-
yoni the limit of 10.700.000 tons
annually set by the Allied govern
mentS.
He said any question of raising
the German level beyond that
figure would be left open for flu
ture agreement among the Allies.
Current German steel production
lis running about 100000 tons
annually.
THE more quickly we get the
10, 100, ,000-ton production, the
quicker we will get German recov-
cry and the better off Western
Europe will be-" Mr.. Hoffman de-
clared.
Mr.. Hoffman made these other
points in answer to questions:
/. The situation in Europe is
not yet sufficiently stable to en-
courage American private invest
ments.
ECA is making "a serious effort"
this year to bring about fiscal
responsibility in Europe.

Senators Extend
Labor Hearings
Until Feb. 3
6. O. P. Wins Its Fight
For More Time; Night
Sessions Dropped
By ]. A. O'LeoN

ne senate LABOR COmmlttee
decided today to extend its hear
ings on new labor legislation until
February %. The decision was
a victory for the Republican
members of the committee.
Administration forces finally
abandoned the Thursday night
deadline originally fixed. when
they found themselves with 80
witnesses remaining to be heard
today and tomorrow.
Under the new arrangement,
there will be no more night ses-
sions. after this week unless both
sides agree. Night hearings will be
held tonight and tomorrow. but
no hearings will be held on Friday
and Saturday of this week so
Republican Senators can attend
Lincoln Day functions.
This leaves nine more days for
testimony after tomorrow-six
days next week and three days
the following week.
The remaining time will be
divided between opposing sides
and time consumed by Senators
in cross-eNamining witnesses will
be counted on that side.
Chamber Calls Bill Inadequate.
The new agreement was worked
out by subcommittee at noon
today after the entire committee
had been in closed session all
morning arguing over procedure.
The subcommittee was composed
of Senators Murray, Democrat, of
Montana: Pepper. Democrat. Of
Florida, and Morse, Republican, of
Oregon.
Meanwhile. the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States
called the Administrations new
bill inadequate. but offered to con-
slider changes in the TAFT Hartley
Act.
The extension of time is expect
ed to ease the tension that has
marked the hearings thus Far. Re
publicans and Democrats on the
committee frequently have clashed
during the long cross eXamina-
ton of the early witnesses.
Senate Action Threatened.
One Southern Democrat not on
the committee. Senator Ellendel
Of Louisiana. had threatened to
move in the Senate to send the

it had been reported after made
quate hearings. Indications were
such q motion probably would
have carried If the hearings had
been shut of tomorrow without
hearing all witnesses.
Republicans had protested that
it was impossible to hear all the
scheduled witnesses within the
time originally allowed. despite
the night and day sessions that
have been held.
The position of the Chamber of
Commerce was revealed in state
ment from Herman w. Stein
kraus. vice president, who is slated
to take the stand sometime before
the hearings close.
Mr.. Steinkraus said he could not
conceive of a step less likely to
create a fair, workable national
labor policy than the mere revival
of the Wagner Act, nor did he

Denmark intends to follow Nor

lance. diplomatic officials re-
ported today.
The Danish Ambassador. Henrik
de Kaufman. was reported
primed to go to the State Depart
ment to submit his country's S
questions as soon as Secretary
Acheson gives him an appoint
ment.
Mr.. De Kauffmann's visit would
mark the first time the Danish
government has shown any Off
cial interest in the possibility. of
linking it's defenses with the
American sponsored security pact.
In the past, the Danish govern
ment has supported Sweden's idea
that the three Scandinavian coun-
tries( Sweden, Norway and Den
mark should form an alliance of
their own based on neutrality.
This arrangement would have
been separate from the defense
alliance being n gotiated by the
United States. Canada. Britain.
France. Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg.
American officials have privately
described such a Scandinavian
pact as totally unrealistic under
present conditions.

AS far as is known, however. the

Mr.. Acheson summoned the

Norway's inquiries are believed
to have figured in their converse
