"The next few years can determine whether the free countries of Europe will be able to preserve their herituge of freedom. “If Europe fails to recover, the peoples of these countries might be driven to the philosophy of despair—the philosophy which contends that their basic w r ants can be met only by the surrender of their basic rights to totalitarian control. “Such a turn of events would

constitute a shattering blow to the peace of the world. It might well compel us to modify our own economic system and to forego, for the sake of our own security, the enjoyment of our freedoms and privileges.” Mr. Truman blanketed western Germany under the recovery program because of the vital importarft'e of German resources to general European reconstruction. He( emphasized, however, that "every precaution” would be taken to prevent a resurgence of German military power. o MAY SIDESTEP (Continued rrom Page 1) tion before quitting for Christmas “still is in the dubious stage.” “I don’t know how we can lose even if we don’t pass the resolution right away,” he said, “we still have Rep. Andresen's committee which should be ready to open jts investigations when congress returns in January." Meanwhile, Edwin W. Pauley, special assistant to the secretary of war, cracked back at Sen. William Jenner. R„ Ind., who had claimed that Pauley used his government job to get information to guide his commodity market speculation.

#lt was the demand by Harold Stassen. Republican aspirant for president, for a check of Pauley’s commodity holdings that set off the congressional investigation. Pauley said Jenner is wrong. He said "I have never at any time in my life used any government position or any inside information or any information not available to the public for my personal gain.” Both house and senate members are anxious to find out if any government “insiders” —eith er administration officials or congressmen — profited in the commodity markets. This is why the senate appropriations committee asked secretary Anderson for his list of traders. Anderson insisted, however, that the entire congress must take the responsibility for ripping away what he considered the present legal requirement that the names be kept secret. Faced with this impasse, the senate passed its resolution. President Truman at his news conference yesterday gave Anderson his strongest support. He said the cabinet officer was absolutely right in insisting that congress give him the authority to release the names of large speculators.
