President Truman today nomi-
mated Gen. Mark w. Clark. a
World War II hero and an Epis-
Icopalian, to be the United States
first full-fledged Ambassador to
the Vatican.
The action must be approved by
the Senate.
The United States has had no

Plus XII since June, 1850, when
Myron C. Taylor resigned the post
of personal representative of the
President he held for nearly II
years.

Mr.. Taylor. former chairman of
the board of United States Steel
Corp, and also an Episcopalian.
was not accredited to the Vatican
as a full-fledged Ambassador.
He went to the Vatican during
the war to act as an observer.
His resignation was preceded by
protests from various Protestant
groups opposed to the idea Of link
ing church with State.
Mr.. Truman said about a year
ago that he was considering an
ambassadorial appointment to the
Vatican. Several church groups
urged him not to do so.
No Advance Notice.
Today's nomination was handed
to the Senate without comment
by the President and without ad-
vance publicity of any kind.

ton days. for advice about wheth-
er Lias' health could keep him
from serving a prison sentence.
Senator Williams, Republican.
of Delaware has charged that the
Internal Revenue Bureau had al
lowed Lias to have tax liabilities
totaling S2,230,000 outstanding
for more than three years without
putting a lien on his property.
} The Senator, in the latest in a
series of crusading speeches on
Internal ReVfnue Bureau scandals,
submitted to- the Senate Wednes-
day a list of Lias' payments in
1949 for personal services" which
contained Mr.. Hildreth'S name
and the $4,000 figure.
Reports Called Inaccurate.
Yesterday, Senator Williams
read from a New York newspaper
story quoting Mr.. Hildreth as say
ing that Lias, in bad health, came
to the attorney for advice, and
that Mr.. Hildreth advised him to
go to Johns Hospins Hospital.
The Senator told the Senate:
Il hope Mr.. Lias will tell us
why he thought it was necessary
to pay $4,000 to a Democratic
national committeeman merely to
find out which hospital to go to"
Mr.. Hildreth said today that
reports he had read of the situ-
alton were grossly inaccurate"
He said Lias. of Wheeling,
w. Va, was under sentence for a
prison term in late December,
1913, or early January, 1949, when
he came to Mr.. Hildreth's Office
to express concern about his
health. Lias said he had a bad

Il told him I didn't believe it
was the policy of the Government
to send a man to prison if it
would result in his death, and that
the thing to do was to determine
what his physical condition was"
Mr.. Hildreth said he suggested
the way to do that was to go to
several top-fight hospitals for
examinations. He said he men

Baltimore and the Mayo Clinic

At times, Mr.. Hildreth said, men

adjournment.
The House vote was 223-53, far
above the two-thirds required to
make the veterans bill a law. The
Senate had overridden the veto
last night. 55-l0.
Meanwhile, House and Senate
confereeS were near agreement

and other emergency agencies.
Measure Called Too Broad.
President Truman said he would
have approved a bill providing
automobiles for veterans who lost
q leg, but objected to the extern
sion of this measure to men who
lost an arm or had impaired eye
sight.
1t is estimated the bill would
apply to 9,40O World War II vet
erans and an undetermined num-
ber of Korean veterans. One
House member estimated the cost
at SIT million.
Congress has been in session 9
months and II days, devoting
nearly all of its time to foreign
affairs, national defense and in
vestigation of scandals in Govern

When the appropriation bills
are completed, this session will
have appropriated about S85 bill

propriated STAT billion, and in

total only $637 billion, leaving a

experts now anticipate.
A variety of minor bills that
have passed one branch or the
other were expected to get
through in the closing hours.
Some lawmakers already have
started for home, assuming there
will be no last-minute hitch in
adjournment plans. Barring some
unforeseen development that might
cause a special session, Congress
will reconvene January 3.
The House met at 10 o'clock this
morning to get an early start on
it's remaining chores and the Sem

Foreign Aid Agreement.
Conferees on the foreign aid
bill agreed last night on $7.3
billion of new money, which re-
stores about half of the 5 per
cent cut the Senate made. The
conferees also retained the Senate
amendment making $1O0 million
available for Spain, at the urging
of Senator McCarron, Democrat,
of Nevada. Both houses had
agreed in advance on reappropri-
