Democratic Leader Mcfarland
called today for fast handling of

deduction from the State Depart
Iment's information and education
al program, which includes THE
Voice President Truman had
asked $115 million. The House
trimmed that to $85 million. The
Senate committee cut deeper-to
|$63 million.
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala

to restore the $85 million figure.
He said it would enable our Gov
|ernment to demonstrate that the
United States not only has a
giants strength but is capable of
using it to gain the mental and
moral allegiance Of men and
women throughout the world to

same relief from rising living
costs as are present Govern
ment workers. The committee Is
talking about giving retired
workers the same 8.4 per cent
boost that it recently voted Tor
Federal employees.
Despite the fact that the COM
missions report on an annuity
boost for retired employees will be
an adverse one. the committee is
anxious to receive it. Once the
report is filed, the committee can
go ahead and vote fayorably on
the legislation. But until the re-
port is received, the committee
cannot act, since the various
committees Of Congress always
have to have the Executive
Branch's report on a particular
bill before taking action.
Chairman Robert Ramspeck OF
the Civil Service Commission has
strongly opposed the legislation
on the grounds that it would
dangerously deplete the civil
service retirement system funds.
However, it's expected that Mr..
Ramspeck would not object to
such bill if Congress votes the
necessary funds to pay for the
annuity increases.

yesterday was marked by pro-

Senator O'Conor, Democrat, of

United States Ambassador Ellis
o. Briggs of Czechoslovakia is
permitted to talk to Mr.. Oats.
But Mr.. Acheson already had
an appointment with Mr.. Pro-
chazka, and received him for a
two-minute call at the State De-
partment shortly after the Senate
vote. The visit was preliminary
to arranging for the new am
to present his credentials
to President Truman.
Seeks Thorough Discussion.
Mr.. Acheson told Mr.. Prochaza-
ka he wants a thorough discus
sion" of the Oats case soon. The
Ambassador told reporters as he
left that IT viii not make any
remarks about it now"
There was no indication from
the State Department as to when
Truman would receive
the new Ambassadors credentials.
There have been suggestions in
Congress that he either refuse to
do so until something is done
about Mr.. Oats, or that he use the
occasion for a demand for Mr..
Oats release.
Senator O'Conor suggested yes
terday that the President take
steps to see that Mr.. Prochazka
is told "he will have to cool his
heels" until the Czech government
does something about the Oats
case
Diplomatic Break Urged.
During discussion of the Senate
resolution Senator Knowland, Re-
of California, said this
country should break off diplo-
matte as well as trade relations
with Czechoslovakia and thus

Illinois said the good God-fear-
