S5,809, 100000 Bill
For Foreign Recovery
Is Sent 10 Truman
By the kssoeioted Press

Congress sent to President Tru-
man today the second of two bills
designed to pump $7,124, 900 900
into foreign recovery and military
aid.
The Presidents signature was
the only thing needed to start the
dollars working in the giant effort
to defeat Russia in the cold war.
The Senate completed action last
night on a s5,SO9. 900. 900 program
to bolster the economics of West
ern Europe and other friendly
nations.
The big money bill was approved
without word of opposition. A
short time earlier the House had
passed the bill with critics taking
only a brief final slap at the pro-
gram.
Two days ago Congress author
lied a $1.314.010.000 arms bill.
The measure provides enough
cash to start shipments of $780,
100000 worth of arms overseas.
The rest of the money must be
provided later by appropriation.
Shipments by November.
Government officials said yes
terday the first arms cargoes will
begin moving to Atlantic Pact
countries by Mid November
American military experts are due
to go overseas in about two weeks
to pave the way for these ship
ments.
Most of the recovery dollars will
pour into Western Europe. The
Marshall Plan nations will receive
$3,62S. .380, 900 in cash and have
another $150,000. 900 available in
loans during the present fiscal
year which ends next June 30.
The bill also contains:
$912,500,000 for Army occupa-
ton costs in Germany. Austria,
Japan and the Ryukyu Islands.
$45,000,000 for Turkey and
Greece.
$1,074,000,00 to cover Eco
nomic Cooperation Administra-
ton costs during the last three
months of the 1949 fiscal year
which ended June 80.
$4,000 for expenses Of con-
gresSional watchdog committee
staff to check on foreign aid
spending.
Review Amendment Approved.
Both Houses Of Congress ap-
proved an amendment calling for
another Observation-Disclosures
review of the dismantling and
destruction of German industrial
plants. But the decision on
whether to seek the review was
left to ECA Chief Paul Hoffman.
A group of Senators has fought
to have about $50 Germaz plants
saved from being torn down or re-
moved from Germany. They con-
tend these plants are needed to
speed German recovery.
France is tentatively scheduled
to get the biggest share of the
$1,000,0 100000 Congress voted for
arms shipments to alliance coun-
tries, the officials said, and prob
ably will get the first supplies, too.
The first shipments will come

Senate Economy Bloc
Gives Up 1949 Drive
To Reduce Spending
By the Associoted Press

Senate economy takers threw
in the sponge today-for this year
after another setback in their
drive to cut Federal spending.
II don't look for another try
until next session." said Senator
Bridges. Republican, OF New
Hampshire, a leader of the econ
omy bloc.
The same sentiment was voiced
by Senator Mcclellan of Arkansas,
one of the chief economy speak
ers among the Democrats.
The move to whittle Federal
expenditures collapsed yesterday
when the Senate rejected, 80 to
%, an amendment offered by Sen
ator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan.
Reduction Proposal Fails.
1t would have required Presi-
dent Truman to reduce authorized
spending by from S to 10 per cent
for the fiscal year which began
July l. Senator Ferguson esti-
mated that it would have come
close to balancing the budget.
The Michigan lawmaker tried
to tack his amendment onto a
bill to boost the pay of cabinet
members and other top bracket
Government officials. The Senate
approved the bill after defeating
Senator Ferguson's proposal.
The amendment is the same
one the Senate batted down a
few weeks ago when it was offered
to the military appropriation bill.
Alter the defeat yesterday there
were some off -the-foor explana-
tions of the outcome by Senators
who voted for the amendment.
They said the ballot was not an
accurate barometer of economy
sentiment in the Senate because
Mr.. Truman had appealed for pas
sage of the pay bill.
One Senator declared it was
poor strategy to try to write the
amendment into a bill which had
top-heavy support.
Another said some Democrats
refused to 60 along on a proposal
which, as offered yesterday, was
sponsored by Republican.
The economy bloc has made sew
eral other attempts at this session
to slice spending. All Of them
failed.
Warns of Deficit Spending.
In pressing for adoption of his
amendment, Senator Ferguson told
the Senate:
THE issue is whether we shall
make a determined effort to avoid
deficit spending.
He added that Congress has the
choice of doing that by boosting
taxes or pairing expenditures.
Majority Leader Lucas contend
ed that approval of the amend
ment would kill the pay bill.
Senator Ferguson retorted that if
Mr.. Truman vetoed the measure
because of the amendment he
would be defeating the will of
Congress"
On the vote, five Democrats lined
up with % Republicans in favor
of the Ferguson proposal. Against
it were 80 Democrats and seven
Republicans.

Teacher Organizations
Accused Of Blocking
u. ). Aid 10 Education
Catholic school superintendents

Catholic school superintendents
have charged that powerful
public school teacher organiza-
tions" would rather have no
Federal aid to education than
ALLOW l cent of it" to be used
for non-public students. g.
A resolution to this effect was
passed yesterday at the closing
session of the Department of
Superintendent, National Catho-
lie Educational Association, In
the Mayfiower Hotel.
The 100 parochial educators
asked for "Federal-aid-t -educa-
ton legislation which will provide
auxiliary school services. espe-
cially bus rides. for children Of
all citizens according to- need,
and without discrimination be-
cause of race. color, creed or kind
of school attended"
Teacher Groups Blamed.
The group maintained that full
responsibility for delaying en-
actment of fair and equitable
school legislation" rests with the
large public school teacher groups.
Other resolutions adopted by
the superintendents, who studied
current educational problems in
the two days of workshops, in
cluded statements:
That mo system Of education
is complete which denies to
religion it's full and proper place
in the educative process"
Visits Improve Relations.
That public relations between
Catholic and non-Catholic schools,
such as visits to classrooms, have
done much to create better feel
ing and to dispel many miscon-
ceptions concerning Catholic edu-
cation.

Cured, and then to the Bethesda

And now the sad story of his
tragic end will be attributed
wholly to overwork and exhaus-
ton. It was. of course. due in
part to this. 1t was doubtless
due primarily to the crushing
blow to his pride and to his spirit
dealt him by an ungrateful ad-
ministration in which war politics
and the amount of money man
contributes evidently determine

tinued in high Office.
When President Garfield was
