To Cut Down Size
OF Foreign Aid Plan
By The Assoeioted Press

President Truman's program
for economic and military aid to
Western Europe was under heavy
Republican attack today.
The greatest pressure was be-
ing brought to bear in the Senate
Appropriations Committee. A de-
termined effort is being made
there to cut down the size of the
Marshall plan program.
Congress authorized 81, $50 .000,-
900 for the third year of the
European recovery program. But
one Republican committee men,
Der told reporters he is certain
this amount will be trimmed.
1T looks as though we might
be able to trim from 500 mil
lion to $3.50 million off the total. -
he said.
Point Four Under Fire.
In the same committee, Pres
ident Truman's Point Four plan
to give technical aid and assist
ance to backward areas of the
world was under fire.
An effort is being made to cut
the $35 million program and to
make the record clear that Point
Four will not be a toe-in- -the-door
move for another foreign recovery
program.
Administration leaders showed
some concern over an amendment
to the foreign arms aid bill by
Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts,. to open up IS bill
lion in European recovery funds
for military purposes.
The Lodge proposal would per-
NIT Marshall Plan nations-if
they wished-to spend any part
Of the so-called counterpart
funds for military needs. These
funds are local currencies de-
posted by the European nations
to match United States dollar aid.
They were set aside to be used
for economic projects.
Sees Defeat of Amendment.
Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
told a reporter the Lodge amend
ment would cause trouble, but
would be defeated.
Senator Knowland, Republican
Of California was prepared to ask
the Senate appropriations group
to limit the European recovery
program-and the arms program
to a seven-month period.
He told the Senate that such
an amendment would permit Con-
gress to return in January and
take a look at the situation. A
decision could be made then, he
said, whether to withhold funds
or adjust them in the light OF
developments"
On another front, a Republican
group considered offering an
amendment to deny Britain SO per
cent of recovery funds unless the
Labor government joins in the
European coal-steel pool.

Judge Curran Rejects
Motions for AcquittaI
OF Hollywood Writer'S

Judge EDWARD M. CuTran COQay
rejected motions to acquit three
Hollywood film writer's accused of
contempt of Congress, and took
their cases under advisement for
one week.
The District Court Judge an
nounced he will give his ruling
next Thursday at II am. on the
two-count indictments against
Ring Lardner, jr., Adrian Scott
and Lester Cole.
The three are charged with re-
fusing to answer two questions
put to them in a 1947 hearing be-
fore the House Committee on Un-
American Activities. The ques-
tions concerned whether they were
or had been members either of the
Communist Party or the Screen
Writer'S Guild.
Accused of Arrogance.
They were accused today by AS
sistant United States Attorney
William Hitz of having "arro-
gantly" refused to answer.
Two weeks ago. two other movie
writer's went to, jail for one year
on similar charges arising from
House hearings about the same
time. These two defendants, John
Howard Lawson and Dalton Trum-
bo, also were fined $1,000 each.
Attorneys for the defendants to-
day argued that the three had
a constitutional right not to an
swer on grounds Of self -incrimina-
ton. In the cases of Lardner
and Cole, it was argued that
was given an opportunity
to answer. Attorney Martin Pop
per declared that Lardner first
wanted to assert his constitu-
tional rights when the questions
were asked and was removed from
the witness stand before he had
a chance to answer.
. Judge Quotes Transcript.
Mr.. Pepper declared that Cole
begged" permission to answer the
two questions but was refused by
the committee.
Judge Curran quoted a passage
from the congressional transcript
regarding Lardner's attitude.
Lardner's answer as to whether
he was a Communist ran this
way:
1T depends on the circum-
stances. I could answer that, but
if I didsTd hate myself in the
morning."
Your argument" the Judge
told MIR. Pepper. sis very interest
ing but not convincing"
On the self determination point,
Judge Curran pointedly told the
lawyer that the defendants failed
to raise that issue before the COM
mittee. "They should have claimed
standardization at that time,
not two years later" the Judge
said.
Rules Out Pearson Story.
The judge also brushed aside q
defense contention that it. pos
sesSeS new evidence.
This, it developed, was two news
paper columns by Drew Pearson.
Purport of these columns, accord
ing to Mr.. Pepper. was that Ger
tain Hollywood film executives had
agreed" with the House commit
tee to conduct the investigation
for the sole and primary purpose
of blacklisting the defendants as
motion picture industry employees. :"
Judge Curran appeared sur
prised at the nature OF the claims.
"Is Pearson's column the evi-
dence?" he demanded.
Trials are slated for 10 am.
tomorrow in District Court for five
other Hollywood writer's. Judge
David A. Pine is to try the joint
cases of Albert Maltz, Samuel Or
nitz and Alvah Bessie. Judge

cause it was losing money.
Meanwhile. the city had asked
for bids on the remainder of the

were opened last Friday, it was
found the highest bidder had
based his offer on a two-year lease
rather than the unexpired term
No lease has been awarded.

the Grand Plaza company, told
the Commissioners he would oper-
ate the lot until a new lessee took
over, in order to prevent con-
fusion.
But running the lot with Mr..
