Arms Aid for Europe Being Quietly Slipped On Shelf by Congress
* Leaders Say There Is No Time Left,
Since Atlantic Pact Must Come First By The Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, May ay py aid for Westarn Eu-
rope is being quietly ‘shelved. Why?
". It might be any of these reasons: Lifting of Berlin blockade; administration fear they'd take arms plan licking; fear Atlantic Pact wouldn't be ratified if arms aid accompanied it; economy wave in Congress; or—as some members say— fear that Congress would insist on attaching aid to China. State Department says program is ready to g0 up whenever congressional leaders “decide to schedule it.” Leaders say there's no time to take it up at this session. Chair-
man Connally of Senate Foreign Relations Committee doesn’t even want to hold hearings; says he'll be too busy getting Atlantic Pact ratified.
000,000 arms ald} oe program for Western Europe is necessary to‘ maintain our momentum against Com § munist expan. Mr Connally sion. But in the Capitol, Congressmen want to wait and see whether cold war is really of. Belligerent gestures by Moscow would bring arms aid out of the deep freeze fast. ; $ 8» Few Bills Face OK
PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S call to Congress to stay here this summer and pass his program won't get anywhere. As things stand now, it looks as if there'll be legislation on federal education, housing and minimum wages. Bill will be passed revising Taft-Hartley, but it will be closer to Taft's view than to Truman's. If Truman vetoes, old act will remain as is. North Atlantic Pact will be approved and so will extension of reciprocal trade. That's about all. House may pass some civil rights legislation, but not Senate. No health insurance bi No tax bill ? And new economic expansion act, designed to provide machinery for halting unemployment and deflation, will be trotted out for debate only. Even its sponsors, in liberal Democratic group, won't ask for passage.

Compromise on ECA
HERE'S WHY House Republican leaders agreed so quickly to compromise on ECA appropriation bill. Paul Hoffman, ECA administrator and active Republican, got on phone and told Republican leaders if they insisted on 15 per cent cut in appropriations and made it party matter, he'd resign with blast at Republican shortsightedness. Leaders couldn't take that. They called in Rep. John Taber of appropriations and told him to work out something Hoffman would agree to, Comproniise allowing ECA to spend its funds in 13% months instead of 15 months followed. - ” »
