more personal problem. “When
do we go home?” they ask. -
House Republican leader Joseph
Martin of Massachusetts says he’ll
seek a showdown on the adjourn-

about hy asking House Speaker
Sam Rayburn whether the Demo-
crats plan to obey the July 31st
deadline set by the Congressional
Reorganization Act of 1946.
If the Democrats plan to keep
going beyond the end of this
month, Martin will ask why and
for how long. House Republi-
cans have hinted that they’ll
fight any attempt to keep Con-

London, July 26—Newspapers
of London, Berlin and Moscow dis-
played high concern over the Tru-
man armit-aid program today.
British newspapers are fearful
about the program’s reception by
Congress. That’s because Congres-
sional critics apjiear ready to slice
the proposed one-billton-450-mil-
lion dollar project materially or
delay its enactment completely.
The powerful London Times
summed up the general apprehen-
sion. It said:
“Only the passing of the mili-
tary program can remove the

in the event of an attack, the
United States would leave them

An apple-growing Congressman
from Wenatchee, Washington,

Horan says Washington’s heat
and humidity this year has set
new records in frayed temper,
name-calling, partisan battles and

thinks Congress should have gone
home June 15th. But at any
rate, Horan thinks they should

Tempers are growing short in
the Washington heat as the ses-
sion wears on. During debate on
funds for the second year of the
European recovery program, a
wordy scrap broke out yesterday
over a comparatively minor iasue.
It occurred when Senate Major-
ity leader Scott Lucas sought to
cut funds for a Congressional
watchdog committee to check on
recovery spending. Lucas lost.
Then a report by Louisiana’s Sen-
ator Allen EUendw on American
policy in Europe proved unsea-
ting. Lucas is just back from a
trip to Italy and he tells col-
leagues that he hears the Mar-
