McCarran Has New Scheme To
Replace Marshall Aid Plan
. BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—What might be called
a “McCarran plan” to replace the “Marshall Plan”
for European aid has recently been unveiled in the
U. S. Senate, Author of the new plan is, of course,
Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada, He is chairman
of the so-called Marshall Plan “watchdog” com
mittee—the Joint Congressional Committee on For
eign Economic Co-operation. But in this case, it
would appear that the watchdog is preparing to run
off with what it is supposed to be guarding.
The McCarran plan has meen made public
through two Senate documents and a fine-type
statement printed in the Congressional Record.
Nona received much, if any, attention because all
ook routine and innocent. But buried in a “watch-"
commitee “staff study,” a McCarran report on his
personal observations in Europe last year, and the
McCarran statement are recommendations which,
if adopted by QOngress, would most certainly lead
to or force the resignation of Paul G. Hoffman as
Economic Co-operation Adnministrator. The McCar
ran plan is that drastic, and that nruch in conflict
with what are known to be Mr. Hoffman’s views on
how ECA should be run.
Main point in the McCarran plan would be end
ing lump-sum appropriations for ECA and substi
tuting specific appropriations by Congress for des
ignated purposes, Up to now, Mr. Hoffman has in
sisted on general appropriations, wanting to keep
his operation as flexible as possible to provide re-
Yief and recovery where they were most needed, as
conditions changed.
WANTS TO IMPOSE “CLEARING
HOUSE” PROGRAM v
What Senator McCarran now proposes are spe=-
cific appropriations by Congress for five programs:
1. U. S. financing of a European “clearing house”
program, which Mr, Hoffman has been trying to get
the ECA countries to adopt voluntarily. 2. Purchase
of U. S. surplus farm products for Europe, 3. Crea=
tion of an International Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. (It would apparently make loans in
stead of financing recovery grants.) 4. Guarantee
of American investors against loss of property by
confiscation, nationalization or other political risk,
‘,5. All other programs,
~Senator McCarran presents no recommended
sunrs for &ny of these programs, But the following
estimates have been under consideration by the
watchdog committee staff: For the clearing house,
$500,000,000. For purchase of U, S. farm surpluses,
$1,000,000,000. For the International RFC, $500,-
000,000 to $1,000,000,000. For guarantees to U. S.
investors, $300,000,000,
This would total between $2,300,000,000 and
$2,800,000,000. And on the basis of the $2,900,000,«
000 now requested by Mr. Hoffman for third-year
Marshall Plan operations, the McCarran plan would
leave him only $100,000,000 to $600,000,000 to con=
duct the “all other programs” which now constitute
the whole ECA operation,
It will be recalled that last year Senator McCar=
ran tried to put over a $50,000,000 forced ECA loan
for Spain. On top of that, Senator John McClellan
of Arkansas tried to put over an amendment that
would have required ECA to buy U. S. farm sur=
pluses for Europe,
,The McClellan amendment was so bad that even
the three farm organizations—Grange, Farm Bureau
and Farmers’' Union—opposed it. That was enough
%o kill it then. But with lower farm prices, this
dunrping provision will be hard to beat this year.
PROPOSED SPANISH LOAN BEATEN BACK
The McCarran forced loan to Spain was beaten
only after herculean hammering on the fact that
Spain was not a Marshall Plan country and could
" not become one unless admitted to OEEC—the Or
ganization for European Economic Co-operation.
The new McCarran plan, of course, goes far be
yond the amendments attempted last year. What it
would amount to is converting the European aid
program into an American aid program. And it is
much more carefully prepared.
1t is based primarily on “An Analysis of the ECA
Program,” written by Watchdog Conmittee Coun=
sel Hal Lackey and his staff, It was written origi=-
nally for a committee “report.” But since the full
commitiee did not endorse all its views, a decision
was made to present it to Congress as a “staff
study.”
It is sdmittedly a by-product of the watchdog
staff’s work over the past two years. It presents
factually all the issues likely to come before Con
gress in eonsidering next year’s Marshall Plan au
thorization and appropriations.
An attack could come from the opposite hemis
phere without warning and with unpredictable fury,

Labor's Attack on Sen. Taft
Has Little to Recommend It
Labor is said to have marked six senators as its
prime candidates for political oblivion this year.
They are Taft of Ohio, Millikin of Colorado, Hick=
enlooper of lowa, Capehart of Indiana, Donnell of
Missouri and Wiley of Wisconsin, All are Republi
cans.
By a coincidence, all of these but Millikin are
reported to be on President Truman’s list of top
targets.
We don’t understand those political analysts '
who question Labor’s right to oppose whlchever‘
lawmakers it chooses, It shouldn’t have to be said
Labor has as much freedom in this regard as any
other group. |
Labor has some broad goals that may perhaps be
attainable oply through legislation. To gain those
ends, it needs sympathetic friends in Congress.
What is more natural than that it should try to
elect them? Or try to defeat those it considers un«
friendly.
But one might fairly ask, however, whether La
bor always views its own interests in a genuinely
broad light. Take the case of Senator Taft, for in
stance.
He heads Labor’s list of undesirables, That’s
largely because he symbolizes the Taft-Hartley
Act, which union leaders call a “slave labor law.”
In view of their strong feeling toward this statute,
their dislike for Taft is understandable. But it is
definitely short-sighted.
Taft is a co-author of the federal public housing
law now on the books, It is doubtful whether the
measure would have passed the Senate without his
steady support. He favors federal aid to education,
and a federal health plan (though much more lim
ited than the Administration’s). As a matter of
principle, Taft accepts the responsibility of gov=
ernment to safeguard the popular welfare where
private enterprise or smallero units of government
show themselves unable to do the job.”
By American political standards, this attitude is
neither reactionary nor markedly conservative. In
these fields, Taft is plainly as good a friend as
Labor has in the Senate. Probably better, because
he is far more influential in promoting the passage
of important bills than many of those who enjoy
Labor’s blessing.
Even on the issue of Taft-Hartley, Taft is no
stubborn mossback. He approached the original
bill seeking justice for all—labor, management and
the public. When repeal was proposed in 1949, he
conceded he may have been wrong on numerous
points. In acknowledgement, he proposed a long
string of amendments to better the law. But his
plan, successful in the -Senate, died in the House
because only repeal would satisfy Labor,
This is not to suggest Taft is Labor’s perfect ally
or that he is infallible. Quite the contrary, he un
doubtedly makes many errors. But it should be
evident to anyone who studies his records - and
learns how tirelessly he works to ferret out facts
that he is a lawmaker in the most honorable sense
of that word.
Whatever mistakes Taft may make, he is never
guilty of failing to seek the pertinent facts. And he ,
always tries to make up his mind honestly.and |
without yielding to fear or pressure. He lets the |
facts lead him wherever they seem to point, even
when it means he will have to espouse a cause his
GOP colleagues consider “socialistic.”
Does Labor appreciate how rare are men of such
integrity in the Senate, or for that matter in any
lawmaking body anywhere? Neither Labor nor bus- |
iness nor the farmer nor the ordinary consumer can
have a better friend in Congress than a nran who
searches diligently the real answer to a problem
and fights for ;hat answer when he thinks he has it. |
Labor should be more discriminating in choosing
its targets,

McCarthy Boos Villain, Lauds
Hero - If's the Same Man
The “high-ranking State Department official”
whom Senator Joseph R. MecCarthy charged had
tampered with State Department personnel records
turns out to be Joseph Anthony Panuch, now a New
York lawyer. He was deputy assistant secretary of
state for administration from November, 1945, to
January, 1947. Then he was special assistant to
General Lucius D. Clay in Germany, returning to
the U: S. last fall.
Senator McCarthy refused to name the official at
the opening session of the Senate Foreign Relations
subcommittee investigation into charges of security
risks in the State Department. But identification of
the offi¢ial was betrayed by Senator McCarthy
himself in two of his cases—No. 14 and No. 41.
When Panuch was informred that he had been
identified as Senator McCarthy’s mysterious “high
ranking State Department official,” he refused to
make any comment until he had seen the record.
The joke of the whole business is that Senator
McCarthy crificizeq the “high official” for his
handling of case 14, and praised him highly for his
handling of case 41. And in case 41, Senator Mec-
Carthy mentioned Mr. Panuch by name, That was
the give-away.
At it et
It's all very well to talk about supporting the
Nationalist government in China, but they’ve proved
themselves incapable of running their own house.

FEW DAYS IN BED HELPS CURE
A TROUBLESOME SORE THROAT
BY EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
Lucky the person who has never
had a sore throat. Some sore
throats follow or are part of an
ordinary cold. Others are simply
tonsilitis or are infections which
act on the throat without spread
ing up to the mose or down to the
voice box and lower breathing
tubes. In some cases sore throat
is associated with diseases else~
where in the body, like digestive
upsets or gout.
Because nearly everyone has
suffered from a sore throat, it
hardly seems necessary to describe
the symptoms. However, before
the throat gets really “sore” there
may be a little feeling of uneasi
ness or difficulty in swallowing or
tickling or dryness in the throat
with a desire to cough and hawk.
Staying home in bed at this stage
not only might shorten the course
of the sore throat but also it would
avoid passing the infection on to
others. ¥
Most bad sore throats are caused
by germs called streptococci which
were present in milk or some other
foods. The proper handling of
milk and pasteurization, as well as
refrigeration, has greatly reduced
the frequency of this kind of sore
throat.
~ln a severe sore throat chilly
feelings and slight fever are com=-

Speaking of Spring Cleaning==
perature may rise quite high, es
pecially if the tonsils are involved
The usual variety of acute sore
throat does not require much more
than a few days rest in bed. Spray
ing the nose and throat with sim
ple solutions helps some people
and sometimes painting the throat,
if it does not seems to clear up
promptly, speeds recovery.
Comfort is greatly increased by
the use of hot compresses or an ice
bag applied to the neck. The use
of powdered sulfa preparations
may be of value. The discomfort
can often be relieved and the fever
brought down by the use of as
pirin. - Although they should not
be taken too freely, the sulfa drugs
and penicillin or its newer rela
tives are likely to be particularly
beneficial.
FIND THE CAUSE
Occasionally a chonic sore throat
may follow a number of acute at
tacks. This is especially common
in someone who drinks alcohol te
excess, smokes a great deal or who
uses his or ner votce often and
hard. In the tfreatment of this type
of sore throat, the general health
must be looked after.
The particutar cause which is
keeping the sore throat from get
ting better should be looked after
and stopped if possible. For ex
ample, those which come from ex
cessive use of the voice may mere
ly require a rairly long period of
silence. Gargles, sprays and the
like may bring temporary relief.

Extension Of

Just back from a conference in

Tight E. Woods, g;)l‘d . Rob
ertson, Area R@g: rector, says
indications are that the demand
for housing in me,hlgté-;r :gt‘xtal
brackets is easlhq@dbut that there
{s still a %eat need in mahy sec
io&s of the nation for shelter
within redch of average inconie
families.
. The Housing Expediter predic
ted that Cong’i%es will extend rent
mtrol for another year when the
housing pieture if shown, and
issued a nn{ing challenge for the
production o h'ousl‘ng within reach
of the typical family of four with
a S3OO a month or lower income,
Mr. Robertson said.
He quoted Mr. Woods as saying
“It doesn’'t make mutch sense to
produce apartments at SBS and up
when the crying need is for family
apartments which can rent for S4O
to SBO a month, or homeés which
ean be bought for up to $8,000.”
Discard Old Way
To do this, Mr. Woods sugges
ted that we must discard the old
hit-or-miss approach of the past.
Brokers and builders must é]o a
better job of reducing eosts by eut
ting overhead and reducing profit
margins, using new materials and
methods and helping to eliminate
restrictive trade practices and re
strictive building codes. He urged
closer coordination between gov
ernment ageneies not only in
Washington but among state and
local units as well, and he en
dorsed legislation to permit and
encourage long term housing loans
of from 50 to 60 years, to be
amortized at half the rates of pres
ent government insured loans
He was speaking about ‘“low
families.” “Mr. Woods was talking
of S4O to S6O a week--people who
make too much to be included
in low-income housing projects,
but not enough to be able to af
ford $12,000 homes or sßs—sloo
