0usfed Brifon Linked
To Plot by Czechs
BY the Assoeiofed Press

PRAGUE. Mar. 26.-The Inte-
rior Ministry charged today that
Capt. Philip Wildash, expelled
British consul. plotted to smuggle
a fugitive Czechoslovak general
into this country to direct an
organized plot against the state.
Britain denied yesterday that
Capt. Wildash had plotted against
|Czechoslovakia's Communist re-
Igime. The denial was contained
in q strong protest delivered to
the Foreign Ministry.
The Interior Ministry's official
statement was distributed by the
Czechoslovak Press Bureau. 1t
was the first issued by a Czecho-
slovak source since Capt. Wildash
was seized by plain clothes police
at his apartment last Tuesday
morning and taken to Pankrac
prison for nearly seven hours of
questioning.
Capt. Wildash was the British
member of the British-American-
French military permit Office
which issues visas for travel in
the occupation zones Of Western
Germany. He left here Wednes-
day for Frankfurt on the advice
Of the British Embassy.
The Czechoslovak statement
said Capt. Wildash had prevailed
on q CZechoslovak citizen, who
had applied for visa to enter
Western Germany, to remain in
this country to set up a plotting
organization. It also charged
that Capt. Wildash promised help
to the plotters from Britain and
accused him Of organizing flight
of CzechoSlovak refugees.

british Bill TO Repeal
Play Censorship Law
Passes I'd Reading
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 26.-Britain's
playwrights moved a step closer
to triumph today in their Ions
flight to abolish the lord chamber
lain's power to censor plays.
The House of Commons passed
on second reading acceptance
in principle) bill to repeal a 600
year-old law which gives the lord
chamberlain the right to blue pen
Gil any play before licensing it fol-
production.
The vote. after 3l2 hours OF de-
bate, was rs to 81. Many MPs
did not attend. The bill now goes
to a committee for amendments
Then it must clear a third read
ing in Commons and approval by
the House of Lords to become ef-
fective.
Chaos Predicted.
Opponents charged that repea
would result in chaos. They sale
every one will set himself up a!
a censor and there will be a rash
of purity leagues.
The playwrights, however, ART
willing to take the chance.
Conservative Beverley Baxter
writer, said:
While there is no censorship
in the United States, on the whole
their stage is cleaner than ours
You very rarely see anything tha
is offensive on the New Yorl
stage"
The repeal bill was introduced
by E. P. Smith, Conservative, whs
writes plays himself under th'
name of Edward Percy"
He told the house that "the las
surviving chain upon words is thu
lord chamberlain's exercise of tn,
censorship of plays"
Deferred From Writing.
Playwright Benn Levy, a Labor.
ite. commented:
1T is an indubitable fact thai
distinguished authors are deferred
from writing for the stage. Cen.
sorship has worked steadily anc
lnexorably in the direction of tht
impoverishment of our theater.
The center of the controversy
is the Earl of Clarendon, 72. thu
present lord chamberlin. He is 8
company director, politician ane
former chairman of the British
Broadcasting Corp.
Under quirk of British con-
stitutional law, his Office controll
the royal servants and wardrobe
issues invitations to state func'
tions and, after censorship, Ii.

Lucas Urges Prompt
Passage Monday Of
Foreign Aid Bill
BY the Associated Press

Majority Leader Lucas today
urged the Senate to stick to busi-
ness and pass the new $3.50 ,O00,-
900 foreign aid program Monday.
But Republican Floor Leader
Wherry predicted that the bill
will not be passed before Wednes-
day. He told reporters Repub-
licans have a lot of amendments
they want to offer.
Senator Lucas promised a long
session Monday in an effort to
wind up debate on the bill to
carry on the European recovery
program through June 80, 1850.
He said the Senate could do it If
Senators would quit talking about
"extraneous" matters.
While he mentioned no names,
the obvious reference was to a
three-hour speech yesterday by
Senator Donnell, Republican, of
Missouri on the North Atlantic
pact which will not come before
the Senate until after its sched-
uled signing here April 4.
Capehart Makes C0unterpropOsal.
The Administrations foreign aid
program also bumped into a coun-
terproposal by Senator Capehart,
Republican, of Indiana yesterday.
Senator Capehart proposed to
cut the authorization to $3.O00,-
10000. He said this amount
would be ample, along with So
TOO. 100000 in unshipped author
lations from the present act.
The Indiana Senator, who voted
against foreign aid last year,
labeled the program a European
finance plan" instead of a recov-
cry program. He said it was time
the Nation paid more attention
to its own economy.
Industrial levels in Marshall
Plan nations already are nearing
or are up to prewar levels. Sena-
tor Capehart said. But Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan, ranking
Republican member Of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
said that's not an accurate yard
stick to use on Europe's overall
economic recovery.
Says Cuts Can Be Made Later.
Both Senators Vandenberg and
Connally, Democrat, of Texas have
asked the Senate to approve the
full $3.50, 100000 authorization.
If it does, the amount could be
cut later in the session when Con-
gress makes the actual appropria-
ton.
Senator Connally disclosed that
the ECA plans to spend 1884,
100000 for farm products in the
year starting July l.
Senator Vandenberg said. in
effect, that the United States
should help the Western Euro
pean countries bring their over all
economies back into line with pre-
war levels.
But he added that we should
not undertake even in our widest
dreams to bring them back to a
total economy In excess of pre-
war;"
