Work on Foreign Aid
And Tax Bills Begun
BY Senate Committees
BY J. A. o'Leory

Separate Senate committees
went to work today on the $7.5
billion foreign aid bill and a $7.2
billion tax bill to help finance this
and other big defense bills.
The administration recon-
mended $8.5 billion for foreign aid
and $40 billion in new taxes. The
House cut both, and now Presi-
dent Truman's supporters find
themselves fighting to prevent
further reductions in the Senate
| After more than month o1
hearings, the Senate Finance
Committee went into closed ses-
sion at 10 am. to begin voting or
charges in the new levies by which
the House proposed to raise more
than 81 billion from income take.
and higher excise rates.
Two Principal Issues.
/ In another part Of the Capitol
the joint Senate Foreign Rela-
tions and Armed Services Com
mittee assembled to act on the
foreign aid bill, with these two
main issues to be settled:
| l. Should another cut be made
lon top of the $l.1 billion the
House took out.
2. Should the Senate go along
with the creation of new, indie
pendent agency to supervise al
foreign aid.
Senator Hunt. Democrat, oi
Wyoming said he would support
a move to go back to the present
setup. He took the view that the
House action in calling for 9
newly appointed mutual security
administrator was a political dig
at Secretary of State Acheson
The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee insisted, however. tht
change was not slap" at an,
existing agency. but a move to in
crease efficiency.
| The administration probabl,
will have difficulty upsetting tn,

several Republican Senators VIII,
usually support the administra
ton on foreign policy.
Key Man on Both Groups.
BY coincidence, the key men OF
foreign aid and taxes are on botl
committees. Chairman George O
the Finance Committee is il
: charge of the tax bill, and is als'
on the joint committee handlinI
foreign aid. Senator Connally
Democrat of Texas, is head of tn,
Joint foreign aid group, but i
also on the tax-writing commit
/. tee.

Red Near Disaster
Seen in Berlin Rally
OF Young Communist,
By The Associased Press

BERLIN, Aug. 20. - Official
Western observers plan to label
the Communist peace festival a
near disaster" for communism in
reports to their governments.
The festival wound up a two
week stand last night in a blaze
of hate for the United States with
half a million bIue-shirted youths
chanting allegiance to Stain. The
kids crowded trains and buses to-
day en- route to their homes be-
hind the Iron Curtain.
Despite the mass hysteris
whipped up by the Reds, Western
observers were unimpreSsed.
They drew three main conclu.
sions from the activities of thu
past weeks during which about
2 million Red-indoctrinated kid:
visited East Berlin. At least
million of these are estimated tt
have visited the West to sightsee
for political reasons or just tt
pick up square meal at one oi
the American or British canteens
Many Exposed to West.
1. East German Communist
youths were exposed to West
Berlin in such numbers, and liket
it so we'll that they may flooc
their homes behind the Iron Cur
tain with pro-Western feeling.
2. Many delegates from tn,
Satellite nations, restricted to tht
Soviet sector of divided Berlin
were impressed by the fact tina
the cause of communism mas beer
stopped cold at the border ant
hasn't the theological strength Il
push westward.
3. The lack of enthusiasm
among German youth cast ;
sharp reflection on the party in
doctrination work and the mel
responsible for it.
1t is possible that these sam,
conclusions are being sent to Mos,
cow for the Soviet Politburo Il
think about. Russian political ad'
visers presumably saw the same
evidence available to Western
officials.
The festival ended after TIVE
hours of feverish anti Western
speeches last night with an oath
taking rite reminiscent of Naz
mysticism.
The youths, hauled to the Marx
Engels Platz in trucks by thei
unit leaders, were told to vow tt
wreck the criminal plans of tn,
Western warmakers.
1--WE swear it, we swear it, WI
swear It'll" they chanted thre,
times in unison, raising thei
clenched fists in the Red salute a
searchlights played on a giant por
trait of Stain.
Balloons Sent From West.
Then, as fireworks burst owe
the city. they broke ranks to jot
other youngsters who had playe'
hockey and We're dancing, singin
and sky-larking through the darI
streets of the great city.
Anti Communist West Berliner
spiced the final rally by sendinI
over small balloons which openet
and scattered anti-Red pamphlet
through the crowd. These wer
eagerly scooped up even thougl
the Communist police grabbe'
them as quickly as they could.
East German Communist Pre-
mier Otto Grotewohl, in his wind
up speech, declared that the Red
would strike at and sabotag
West Europe's defense prepare
tions.
His violent attack was typics
of those which have marked tn

Committee Demands
NewCiviI Works Plan,
Hits Engineer Corps

Blasting Army Engineers plan
ming as inadequate, the House
Appropriations Committee has
called for a restudy of billions of
dollars worth of civil works pro-
jectS and demanded new cost
estimating methods for such pro-
jects
A report outlining the House
committees complaints said many
of the 1872 civil projects now
under way undoubtedly would not
be under construction today If
Congress had had reliable infor-
nation from the Corps of Engi-
neers, developed by competent en-
gineering planning"
Reporting on an investigation
of flood control and rivers and
harbors projects. the committee
said the "saturation point for civil
works projects has been reached,
and no new projects should be
undertaken until the current con-
struction program is advanced to
Q considerable degree"
Gen. Pick Refuses Comment.
The Office of Maj. Gen. Lewis A.
Pick, chief of Army Engineers,
said it would have no comment on
the criticisms of inadequate plan
uing.
Specifically the committee re-
ported that the 1872 projects were
estimated to cost $2,638,517,0 900
when Congress authorized them
beginning in 1927, but that the
same projects now are estimated
at $5,912,451. 900.
The committee made clear it
did not hold the engineers respon-
sible for price increases which
have added $1,887 ,000, 900 to the
original cost figures, or for
authorized project extensions
amounting to $576,814,000.
But, it said, about $500 million,
or 3o.6 per cent, has been added
to original cost estimates because
of engineering and economic mis-
calculations.
The committee itemized these
"miscalculations" as:
Inadequacies. defined as omis-
sions in planning and estimating,
$685. ,975, 900.
Unforeseen conditions, $279,5 ,524,-
900.
Structural and engineering
notifications, $206, 1874 900.
Changed local needs or situa-
tions, $134,515,000.
Basically. the House group COM
planned that survey reports on
which Congress acts in authoriz-
ing the projects are too prelim-
mary to provide sound basis for |
determining whether to appropri-
ate initial construction funds.
There sometimes is a lag of as
much as a decade between the
original authorization and the
time construction funds are
granted.
New Plans Will Be Considered.
Despite it's warning about hav-
ing reached the "saturation point"
in civil works, the committee said
it would not foreclose early con-
sideration of "any proposed pro-
jects involving urgent matters of
grave import"
AS a corrective measure, the
committee said it must be able
to fill in the gap between au-
thoriZation and appropriations by
up-to-date reports, including al
review of economic conditions att
the time the first construction
money is requested.
The economic justification for
many projects hangs in such del
icate balance that any increase
in costs is likely to have a pro-
found effect on the decision to
start building them. the COM
mittee said.
The committee has authority to-
demand such planning reports. It
said it will do so beginning next
year.

However. Pro AL Houghton OF

Chandler was trapped on the

which hit a tree to the left and
