Show FOREIGN AID: WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Appeal to Reason It was impossible at the moment to evaluate Its effect, but the fact that Sen. Tom Conrally D., Tex) chairman of the senate foreign relations committee was urging a reduction In foreign-aispending was certain to carry some weight in congress, a "sizeCO.NNALLY forecast able cut in funds for the third year of the European recovery program, and explained that he meant "anything up to a billion dollars. Congress voted more than 3 75 billion for the program in 1949. The most rabid supporter of the program would have to concede that there has been no little visionary treatment of the problem, with the finding it hard to restrain themselves when It came to giving away the American taxpayers money. There had been plenty warning and admonitions from men in government qualified to talk about the situation, but for the most part their authority wasn't sufficient to permit their interfering. However, with Senator Connally on the side of a reduction in the program, the situation took on a new aspect. PLENTY obTHERE WERE servers who felt that unless the United States took a determined stand in insisting that Europe begin now to do something to rehabilitate itself, the drain on American funds would not only continue indefinitely, but might even increase. The Texas senator might have had some such idea in mind when he talked ERP fund reductions. It was a little more difficult, however, to understand his position with regard to Spain. Connally urged that the United States exchange ambassadors with Spain immediately and to call off Its diplomatic boycott of Generalissimo Franco. He wanted Francisco "strategic Spain in the North Atlantic pact. U.S. Formosan Intervention Urged; Drive Is Launched to Trim Budget Group to Press for Child Welfare; II nlTOn NOTF I !

EDUCATION: Money & Health The needs of education in the nation apparently were to be well looked after in Washington, as far as interest and stressing of necessity were concerned. The American Parents Committ tee announced a program in the child welfare field for consideration at the current congress session. THIS COMMITTEE was organized three years ago to work for a national program to benefit children. Legislation the committee will press for will be: The national bill for an annual 35 million for school dollars grants-in-aihealth examinations and treatment for all school children. This measure has been passed by the senate. the public school - construction bill, asking five billion to match surstate funds for a nation-wid- e vey of needs, and other sums for emergency school construction, which have been approved by the senate. THE federal aid for - education bill, .which would provide 300 million for grants-in-aito the states under a formula which gives larger proportion of funds to the needier states. This bill passed the senate but was blocked in the house because of the controversy over "services to parochial schools.

With President Truman previously committed to a tax Increase, and some of his cabinet members advising against it, the group found important support in the President's council of economic advisers. THIS GROUP, reporting to the President on the general economic situation, steered clear of any definite tax stand, but did not hold an olive branch to business. And it hinted that some changes in the present tax structure should be made in order to meet what it called a need for more stability in government actions affecting the nation's economic was the That word "stability It meant, anyone could reasonably assume, that the council felt U.S. business must have some assurance that it is not going to be confronted continually with an g government tax policy. This coupled with Commerce suggestion that Secretary excise taxes be repealed, could be regarded as a definite switch in high-levthinking on tax matters. THE COUNCIL explained it this way: "While we should aim in the long run for reasonable stability in tax policy, the great changes in the tax structure over the most recent years and the double reversal of economic trends in 1949 may make it necessary to alter the tax structure somewhat before a basis of stability in future years will have been laid." This new course launched the council tn a course its former chairman, Edwin G. Nourse, repudiated that of making recommendations directly to congress on matters of the administrations economic policy. well-bein- tip-of- f. ever-shiftin- Saw-yer- s Margolis Quits mid-summ- Latin-America- (niDTTSmPE MAHON IV 5?1E78 VJIE.E.
