ton Administration ION con-
Itinuing basis"
His message was read by White
House assistant w. Averell Harri-
man at an ECA third anniversary
celebration attended by several
hundred Marshall Plan employees
at the Hotel Statler.
Secretary of State Acheson and
Foreign Minister M. Robert Schu-
man of France headed a dis
tinguished group of officials who
lauded the Marshall Plan as sue
cessful in developing economic
strength of war-torn nations. But
they called for redoubled efforts
to meet with ECA's new role in
helping free Europe expand its
capacity for producing arms and
military supplies.
Acheson Calls 1t Triumph.
Setting the keynote for the new
ECA job, Mr.. Truman said the

Administration Wins
First Test With Final
Action Due Today
By J. A. 0'Leory

1Qe aQlIILllSCI dClOu WOu dAI
overwhelming victory in the first
test vote today on the troops-for-
Europe issue.
It came with the defeat of a
move by Senator Case, Republican
of South Dakota, to disapprove
use of soldiers under the age of
90 in the four divisions to be sent
to Western Europe. 1t was de-
feated 62-27.
Earlier, Vice President Barkley
blocked move by Senate Repub-
lican Leader Wherry to substitute
q binding law for the two pending
resolutions, which merely advise
the President.
Although the Vice President
ruled such a substitution out of
order, Republicans will get vote
on the issue later today by moving
to send the whole subject back to
committee.
Administration Confident.
The recommittal motion prob
ably will be the high water mark
of the opposition vote, but ad-
ministration leaders believe they
will defeat it.
If they do, the advisory reSolu-
tions are expected to pass some
time tonight by substantial ma
jority.
After rejecting the Case ban on
use of teen-agers in Western Eu-,
rope, the Senate lad aside the
troop issue temporarily to hear
President Auriol of France ad-
dress the joint session of Congress.
The pending resolutions ap-
prove the Presidents decision to
send four American divisions at
this time to join the two already
on occupation duty in Germany.
The same section which contains
this approval says the President
should seek congressional ap-
proval" II he decides to send more
men later.
Since these resolutions do not
have the binding force of law. a
wide divergence of opinion has de-
veloped in the Senate as how this
congressional approval" would be
expressed in the future.
Other Amendments Due.
A variety of clarifying amend
ments, have been drafted but sup
porters Of administration foreign
policy may decide to try to avoid
any changes in the resolutions, in
the belief they can get a larger
vote for final passage as they
stand.
There will be other amendments
offered to put a percentage ratio
on American and European troop
commitments and to encourage
the inclusion of Spain, Greece and
Turkey in the North Atlantic de-
tense plans.
After the Senate acts, the issue
will switch to the House side,
where it may be raised again as
an amendment to the new draft
law, later this week.
The troops-for- Europe issue has
split the Republicans in the SEN
ate more sharply than it has the
Democrats, and the great
debate" probably will extend into
next years Presidential campaign,
especially among the Republicans.
Most of the big names in the
Republican Party have lined up
openly for or against a land de-
fense of Western Europe. On one
side are Herbert Hoover, Senator
Taft of Ohio and Senator Wherry, ;,
who want the emphasis placed on
a sea -and-air defense of Western
Europe. On the other side are
Gov. Dewey of New York, former
Gov. Harold Stassen of Minnesota,
and Senators Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, Ives Of New York, Sal
tonstall of Massachusetts, and
Smith of New Jersey.

Second Tax Rise
Can Wait Until
81, Snyder Says
But Secretary Insists
$40 Billion Increase
Shouldn't Be Delayed
By Cecil HoIIond

Secretary Of the Treasury
Snyder said today the second part
Iof the Administrations proposed
SIG billion tax program could be
postponed until next January. But
he emphasized that the first part
calling for $40 billion in addi-
tional revenue - should not be
postponed"
Mr.. Snyder's views were given
in return appearance before the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee now considering the admins
tration's request for huge in
crease in taxes to, meet defense
needs.
The Secretary revealed that a
I$3 billion surplus for the fiscal
year ending June 80 is now antici-
pated instead of a deficit of $2.7
billion forecast in the President
message in January asking for q
record peacetime budget of ST.
billion.
Sees Surplus Disappearing.
Mr.. Snyder estimated that rev.
enue for the fiscal year starting
July l should be about So billion
above the January forecast, in
dicating that the previous deficit
prediction of $16.5 billion will be
no more than $13.5 billion to bal
ance the Truman $71 billion
budget.
AS for delaying the second in
stallment on the tax program,
Mr.. Snyder said:
"On the basis of an eyaluation
of all the information now at
hand. it is my view that barring
ia major change in the defense
program, action on the second
part of the revenue program can
now be postponed until next jan
uary when we will have a firmer
basis for determining defense
costs"
But he warned that defense ex-
Ipenditures will expand so rapidly
in the period ahead that the pres
ent budget surplus will disappear
rapidly" and added:
While the exact course of de-
fense spending cannot now be
blueprinted. it is all too clear al
ready that within the coming fiscal
year we shall need at least $40
billion minimum program recon-
mended by the President. No one
can know what lies ahead, and it
would be most imprudent to delay
the legislation required now for
our financial preparedness"
Surplus Called Temporary.
II cannot emphasize too
strongly, however, Mr.. Snyder
told the committee. that the cur
rent budget surplus is temporary
and that we must guard against
the unwarranted conclusion that
it will be maintained in the fu-
ture."
Mr.. Snyder's appearance before
the House committee was his first
since undergoing a recent eye
operation. He wore a white patch
over his right eye and, on instruc-
tions Of his doctors, photograph
ers were barred from making pic
lures of him as he testified.
The latest Treasury report
showed currently $5 billion sur
plus which Treasury officials said
indicated the Government could
wind up the present fiscal year i'll
the black by about So billion.
Mr.. Snyder emphasized that the
fiscal problems confronting the
country in preparing against the
threat of communism are las
grave as any" which the Nation
has faced in recent years, and
added:
while the current fiscal sit
uation is encouraging. this should

Gives Atlas to Truman.
The French president spoke
before special joint session OF
the Senate and House. He was
scheduled to leave for New York
soon afterward.
Mr.. Auriol said a cordial good
bye to President Truman this
during a brief call at the
White House during which Mr.
Truman thanked him for the gift
of a five-volume Atlas made in
1764.
He made no direct reference in
his speech to the troops-for- r
Europe issue, nearing vote today
in the Senate. But he stressed
as in other recent speeches
Frances will to resist attack and
aer current rearmament effort
points questioned in the troop
controversy.
And he put special emphasis
ON French efforts to organize
collective security and European
unity, pointing to the French
sponsored coal and steel pool, the
move for a European army, and
French willingness to accept
Western Germany in European
federation.
Admonishes Russia.
The French leader also took
occasion for some stern admoni-
ions to Russia, although with
out mentioning the Soviet Union
by name.
In an obvious protest against
Communist obstruction in his own
country, Mr.. Auriol warned that
certain countries must stop in
terfering in the internal affairs
of others in an effort to weaken
their freely chosen regimes, to
provoke troubles, to paralyze pro-
duction and to pour daily insults
upon their governments"
And attacking charges of war
nongering," of which he said both
France and the United States are
'ridiculously accused every day."
Mr.. Auriol pledged that France
will never cease to answer mega

In discussing the French effort

Auriol said his country is not only
