That might save a lot of bettors

Conservatives on Aid
BY the Asseeioted Press

w. Averen Hartman. the new
foreign aid boss, leaves today fol
London for talks that might pro-
duce plans for more assistance to
Britain.
He said yesterday he will confer
with leaders of the new Conserva-
tive government and is ready to
consider any proposal to help
Britain meet heavier economic
pressures.
Mr.. Hartman disclosed plans
for the trip after taking over. as
director of the new Mutual Secu-
rity Program which involves ad-
ministering $7,483, 100000 in eco
non1ic and military aid to friendly
countries.
Britain long ago was cut off
from direct economic aid but has
been getting help in carrying out
its rearmament program. The
new foreign aid legislation makes
no provision for economic as
siStance to the British. That
would require further congress
sional action.
Mr.. Hartman stressed that he
would consider" aid or any other
question the Conservative leaders
bring up.
He said he has a date to talk
with Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden and Chancellor of the Ex-
ehequer Butler tomorrow. He
added that he might also see
