WASHINGTON, May 7 (UP) Secretary of State George C. Marshall will get a chance today to appeal to the public through the press for continuation ol the State Department's Foreign information mid cultural
program.
That will be oi," of the : any issues he will be questioned about at his first press c/mfordice (3:30 P. M. FIST) since his ret,urn ft >111 Mo; i-w. Marshall failed earlier tills week to g'>t congressional lea|iers to revetse a house appropriation committee’s decision to eliminate from the State Department’s budget all of the $31,500,000 requested for its im,urination and cultural program, including the “voice of America” broadcasts
to Russia.
Despiti- its adverse action, however, the house committee was .reported awaiting a iv;vy fciM-Ua from State Department officials for settling tne controversy. Tile department was understood to be preparing a revised program in an attempt to ovcieome com.rdUee objections. Committee Chairman John Taber, R„ N. Y„ said he "might favor the program" if the department “’Cleaned out the Communists and fellow travelers and put the operation on an efficient,
business-like basis."

for the cultural program when the department's appropriation bill for the 1948 fiscal year comes up I,or House consideration la.te

WASHINGTON, May 7 (UP) -r-The Senate Banking Committee’s investigation of RF’C was put on ice temporarily today following some hot words between Chairman Charles W. Tobey, R.. N. H., and Sen. Homer E. Capehart, R., Ind Tobey said he plans to re-open hearings in two weeks on the Reconstruction Finance Corporation's multi-million-dollar dealings with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The recess will give committee members a chance to attend Senate debate on important legislation, Tobey said. Some senators said privately, meanwhile, that the investigation to date has been “nothing more than a witch-hunt.” They complained that they never knew in advance who was going
to testify.
The main issue in the inquiry concerns the B & O’s 1945 banklliptcy and subsequent reorganization. whereby an $80,000,000 FRC loan was extended to 1965,
D,
L’Heureux charges it was a "fictitious" bankruptcy, arranged to keep former RF’C officials in control at B & O. Railroad officers deny that the B & O had been a party to any “fraudulent or improper” act. Sen. John Sparkman, D.. Ala., bunking committee member, told a reporter that in his opinion “no case has yet been made out” against either B & O or RFC. He said enot a single witness has testified that anybody lost anything” as a result of the reorganization. Tobey said he will name a subcommittee to conduct subsequent hearings. He will continue as chairman. The banking committee will recommend before June 30 whether it thinks Congress should renew RFC’s
life.
Neither Tobey nor Capelmrt would comment on their bitter exchange at yesterday’s hear-
iiave | ings. It was touched off when
Tobey accused Capehart of asking a witness questions that were “unfair, irrelevent and en-
tirely un-American.”
Capehart scolded Tobey for “casting aspersions” on his col-
leagues.
"You siioot off and jump in the air like a top,” he sputtered. “I’m sick and tired of your casting asperations on me.” “You havent' got a leg to stand on,” Tobey told him. “Not even a crutch.” Capehart observed that he'd be happy to debate the whole subject on tire Senate floor. “You may be a great senator from New Hampshire," lie told Tobey, “but I represent the state ol Indiana.”
