Marshall Asks
Single Person
To Handle Aid
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. W—Sec-
retary of State Marshall told House
members today a "business like"
administration of the proposed
European aid program is impor-
tant, and the way to get it is to
put it under a single individual.
Marshall testified before the
House Foreign Affairs committee
Gvhere considerable sentiment has
developed for an eight-member
administrative board. Those back
ing this idea say it would mean
a "business like" administration.
Both President Truman and Sec-
retary Marshall want a single ad-
ministrator who would be respon-
sible to the Secretary of State on
foreign policy. •
As he did when testifying be-
fore the Senate Foreign Relations
committee last week, Marshall
urged that congress authorize a
European aid program adequate
to provide "genuine recovery.”
He said “the time for relief pro-
grams is past,” and added:
"If we do not move out to meet
the problem in Europe today it
will certainly come to us here in
the United States under conditions
far more unfavorable to us."
CUT IN HALF
The administration is asking con-
gress to authorize a four-year pro-
gram of aid for Europe's econo-
mic recovery and to vote $6,800,-
000.000 for the first 15 months of
the program. The amount of later
spending would be up to the con-
gresses of the future.
Some influential Republicans are
talking of cuffing the $6,800,000,-
000 figure in half.
The greying Secretary of State
told the congressmen that the
proposal to help Europe inevitab-
ly raised these questions: "What
does the United States get out of
this? Why should the United States
accept European burdens in this
manner?”
HERE’S WHY:
He gave these answers:
“European economic recovery,
we feel sure, is essential to pre-
servation of basic freedom in the
most critical area of the world to-
day.

Wemple Talks
At Road Meet
By BOB COOKE
Reporter-News Staff Writer
EASTLAND, Jan 12 —Twenty-
Wight delegates, representing High-
way 80 cities from Gladewater to
El Paso, had registered this morn-
ing for the opening session of the
Central Division of the Highway
80 association. Among early ar-
rivals was Fred Wemple of Mid-
land, member of the Texas High-
way commission, who was to give
the principal address at today’s
luncheon.
L. E. McGraw, president of the
Eastland Chamber of Commerce,
wave the welcome address this
morning. On the morning program
was the report on the formation
of a permanent organization of the
Western Division of the associa-
tion, covering that section of high-
way from Anthony, N. M. to San
Diego, Calif.
Officers of the Western division
are S. M. Beaudry of Tuscon, Arts.,
chairman: Tom Bomar. San
Diego, secretary and I. M. Smal-
ley. Deming, N. M., treasurer.
• The Western division has pled-
ged its cooperation in helping to
organize the Central and Eastern
divisions after which representa-
tives from the three divisions are
to meet and form the national
U. S. 80 Highway association.
“European economic recovery is
essential to a return of normal
trade and commerce throughout
the world.
"The U.S. is the only nation to-
day with the strength to lend vital
support to such a movement.
“We want peace. We want se-
curity. We want to see the world
return to normal as quickly as
possible. A great crisis has to be
met. Do we meet the situation
with action or do we step aside
and allow other forces to settle
the pattern of future European
civilization.”
FEW CONTROLS *
On the matter of how the pro-
gram should be handled. Marshall
said he had never intended that
the administration should be ham-
pered by "unnecessary controls or
interference" from the State de-
partment.
"I have said before that I have
an open mind both on the specific
machinery of administration and
on the wording of legislation,” he
went on. “I believe, however, that
the authority for the administra-
tion of the program should be ves-
ted in a single individual and not
in a commission or board and

Burning U. S.
Ship in Atlantic
NEW YORK, Jan. 12—(P)—The
Army transport Joseph V. Connol-
ly, which brought the first war
dead back from Europe, caught
fire early today and was aban-
doned by Its crew of 45 and one
passenger in winds of gale force
about 900 miles east of New York.
The ship was en route to Ant-
werp with about 5,000 empty cas-
kets.
The Coast Guard said the liberty
ship Morrison B. Waite reached
the Connolly’s last reported posi-
tion shortly after 6 a. m. (CST)
and was searching for the Con-
nolly's lifeboats. Almost three
hours later the Coast Guard said
the Waite had not sighted either
the lifeboats or any wreckage.
The New York port of embar-
kation said earlier no injuries or
deaths were reported among the
Connolly's crew. The weather bu-
reau said, however, that winds -of
up to 40 miles an hour were re-
ported in the area and that the
area had been hit by showers.
EARLY MESSAGE
The first call for help from the
Connolly was intercepted here at
about 3:30 a. m. CST. The mes-
sage said the 442-foot, 7,176 ton
ship was adrift and out of con-
trol as a result of a fire which
started in the engine room.
The last report from the Con-
nelly said the fire was spreading,
but the full extent of damage was
not known because the ship's radio
was out of commission before it
was abandoned, the Coast Guard
said.
In addition to the Waite, the
Coast Guard said the Army trans-
port General Callan, carrying de-
pendents of service men, the
freighter Josephine Lykes and the
coast guard cutter Tamaroa, were
en route to the area of the fire.
PLANES SENT
The U.S.S. Lioba and U.S.S.
Mercury also were ordered to pro-
ceed to assist and Kindley field.
Bermuda, was reported sending
two B-17 flying fortresses and a
B-29 superfortress to the area.
The Connolly, which was built
in 1945, brought 6,248 war dead
from Europe and Newfoundland to
New York last Oct. 26. It sailed
from New York tor Antwerp Jan.

Truman Reveals Huge '48
Surplus, Io Reduce Debi
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12—(A)—President Truman sent
congress today a record $39,668,993,000 peacetime, budget
providing billions for defense and for meeting the "unprece-
dented challenge" of totalitarianism abroad.
He forecast history-making treasury surpluses, provided
congress does not cut taxes and lower government’s revenue.
His figures:
For the year ending June 30, the government's income will
exceed spending by $7,482,610,000— more than the United
States spent in any single year during its first 146 years.
For the next 12 months of the 1949 fiscal year, $4,807,868,-
000, to make a two-year total of $12,290,479,000
Mr. Truman told the hostile Republican congress that 79
per cent of his spending estimates for 1949 "directly reflect
costs of war, the effects of__-________

CLEVELAND, Jan. 12 (—The
163 Roman Catholic students stu-
dying for degrees at Baldwin-Wal-
lace college must withdraw from
the Methodist institution at once It
they wish to conform with the
doctrines of their church, s dioc e-
san priest advised a mass meet-
ing of the students last night.
A compulsory religion course
and religious chapel programs at
the nearby Berea institution sre
contrary to Catholic canon law
and make It “impossible for a
Catholic to pursue courses leading
to a degree and remain a good Ca-
tholic." the Rev. Joseph T. Mori-
arty, professor of religion at St.
John’s college, told the students,
who met in the auditorium of a
Catholic school Several of them
including two prominent athletes,
already have withdrawn.
The long-brewing issue was
brought to public light recently
when a Catholic student, who has
since withdrawn, asked for an au-
thoritative statement on a course,
philosophy of religion, which Is re-
quired of seniors working toward
degrees.
Msgr. Vincent B Balmat, chan-
cellor of the Cleveland Catholic
diocese, asserted in reply that
Catholics "may not under any cir-
cumstances or pretext attend a
class of this kind."
NO CHANGE DUE
Dr. Louis C. Wright, president
of Baldwin-Wallace, then issued s
statement indicating no change in
the course was contemplated
“There has been no change in
required chapel programs and
courses in religion for 100 years, ‘
he added. "This is stated in the
college catalogue, and each sta-
dent has this information upon en-
tering college. Chapel programs
have never been sectarian."
When informed of last night’s
developments, Dean Myron F
Wicke commented: "There still

Ernest Guinn, El Paso county at-

chase of raw milk from producers
It further alleges that the dairies
named have fixed and maintained

eliminating competition and creat-
ing a trust in restraint of trade.

Father Moriarty stressed he was
issuing neither an official pro-
nouncement on the question nor
speaking as a representative of
Bishop Edward F. Hoban
"There has been no Episcopal
statement about any kind of ex-
communication and the bishop has
not sent any letter to any atu
dent,” he said. “The chancellor’s
statement la based on the code
of canon law and the opinions of
moral theologians it was a state

might make ”

"Does this mean immediate

The Rev R C. Knuff. assistant
at St Mary’s church in Berea,
answered:
"Aa a Catholic priest, 1 would
say you cannot continue to attend
one hour without acting in bad
faith and being guilty of serious
sin."
Father Moriarty advised the stu-
dents that local Catholic colleges
and universities stood ready to ac-
cept them as transfer students,
including senior up for degrees
at the start of the new semester
next month.
The agency also disclosed It
would ask the U. N. to assist in
arming and financing a Jewish
militia of from 15.000 to 25.000
men immediately.
These disclosures were made by
Moshe Shertok, head of the Jewish
agency’s political department and
newly named representative of the
agency to deal with the five-mem- |
ber U N. partition commission
Shertok told a news conference

five, during his recent 6-day visit
to the Holy Land, to lay these
requests before the commission as

GOPs Blast
New Budget
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.
Republicans ripped into President
Truman’s $39,669,000,000 (billion)
budget today as "extravagant”
and "political" while Democrats
defended it as “reasonable,” con-
sidering problems st home and
commitments abroad.
But even among 'critical Repub-
licans there was clear Indication
that the President’s request , for
$11,0010,000,000 for the armed for-
ces has widespread support.
Typical GOP comment came
from Chairmen Bridges (R-NH)
of the Senate Appropriations com-
mittee who said the President had
presented "an extravagant pro-
gram beyond the means of the
nation to meet this year.”
"He has played politics in an
attempt to make the budget ap-
pear as an economy measure,”
Bridges declared in a statement.
"But no politics, however stated,
can avoid the fact that he la sug-
gesting an Increase of $2,000,000,-
000 In federal spending at a time
when the security and well-being
of the nation demand reduced ex-
penditures."
Senator Lucas of Illinois, who
as the Democratic whip is an as-
sistant floor leader, said that
while he regrets the "the neces-
sity to have such a large budget"
he is "encouraged to know that
once again we can balance the
budget and have a surplus to ap-
ply on the national debt.7
