AFL Pledges Aid To Recovery Plan Green Pledges Full Support To Program Milwaukee. Wis. May 14—(UP) - Wi'llam Green, president of the American Federation of laibor. today pledged the federation’s full support of the 25,300,000.000 European recovery program. He made the pledge to Paul G. Hoffman. ECA administrator, who came here to en'ist the union's cooperation In carrying out the giant recovery plan. "We have offered Hoffman the AFL's help in the biggest and broadest way that he might wish.” Green said. Hoffman was scheduled to meet with the AFL's executive council later today to recruit aides for the program. "We're choosing people who will devote themselves to ECA objectives." Hoffman said at a news conference, "and not to any particular group or organization." It would be "disastrous" for the United States if ECA should fail, he said. If communixm sweep.' over western Europe, ft would mean the United States would have to spend 20-mrilon dollars a year to defend our freedom, he said. Hoffman had said that talks with other labor groups have been going on for the last two weeks. Their purpose Is to enlist the support of organized labor behind the ECA 'program. Primarily. Hoffman wants to count upon a major labor figure to serve on each of the special mislxons to the Hl European nations which are signed up to take part in the recovery program. Industry, with a stake In the ultimate sales to Europe will go along. Hoffman is seeking the same assurances from U. S. labor. — . o— — — Miss Morv R. Smith Honored At Purdue Miss Mary R.
