Prompt confirmation of the

eral Clark as associate Justice of
the Supreme Court was urged in
messages from more, than 10
jurists, attorneys and prominent
citizens today at Senate Judi

The first of nine opposition

Conferees Expected
10 Vote Foreign Aid
With Few Changes
Senote Passes Measure
Differing Slightly From
House Version
BY the Associated Pres.

The multibillion-dollar foreign
recovery bill sped toward final
congressional action today after
a stormy passage through the
Senate.
Lawmakers expected a Senate
House committee to reach quick
agreement on the somewhat diff
ferent versions the two branches
have passed. The Senate approved
its bill late yesterday by a top
heavy 63-to-7 vote.
Senators ended almost two
weeks of wrangling to shake the
measure free from the confusion
which had blocked action on more
than $4,000, 600, 900 in money
bills in addition to other legisla-
ton marked must" by the ad-
ministration.
One Democrat Opposed.
When the final showdown came
only six Republicans and one
Democrat voted against the S.
797, ,724, 900 measure.
The lone Democrat was Senator
Johnston Of South Carolina. The
Republican opponents were Sena-
tor Capehart and Jenner Of In
diana. KEN of Missouri, Lange,
of North Dakota, Malone of Ne
vada and Williams of Delaware
Despite all the debate, the Sen
ate bill does not differ greatly
from the House-approved meas
ure. The Senate reduced the
money totals about 10 per cent
and added some amendments
none of which is expected to cause
much trouble.
Senator KEN made the final
effort to amend the bill with a
move to deny Economic Co-opera-
ton Administration aid to any
nation which, in the future, ma
tionalized q basic industry.
The amendment was drawn to
throw, a brake on the British Labor
governments socialization pro-

at the time. He held it violated
Senate rules against writing policy
making law into an appropriation
bill.

another move by a vote. of 40
