The Washington Notebook
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—For all pactical pur
poses, the Marshall Plan will go out of business
January 1, six months ahead of the originally
scheduled end. The new Mutual Security Act just
passed by Congress provides that ECA-—the Eco
nomic Cooperation Administration which ran the
Marshall Plan—must cease all economic aid to for
eign countries by June 30, 1952, except where it is
tied in with military assistance.
Incompleted Marshall Plan reconstruction pro
jects will, of course, be finished. But by January 1,
the new Mutual Security Administrator—probably
Averell Harriman — must designate which of the
Marshall Plan programs should be continued, MSA
itself has been given a life span of roughly two and
a half years, ending June 30, 1954.
By January 1, 1952, MSA, in taking over what's
left of ECA, must be operating with 10 percent
fewer employes than the Marshall Plan had on
August 31. That was in round numbers 2,400—1,100
of them in the U, S,, 1,300 in 25 missions abroad.
In wrapping up all U. S, foreign aid programs in
a single package, to be bundled about by a single
coordinator—Mr. Harrinran—Congress hag in effect
laid the foundation for a world-wide assistance
program, At present, the MSA structure to be built
on these foundations is pretty well compartmental
ized.
DIRECT MILITARY AID IS BULK OF PROGRAM
Biggest is, of course, direct military assistance.
That will get approximately $6 billion out of the
$7.5 billion total foreign aid authorized. This mili
tary assistance will be administered by the Depart
ment of Defense. Its allocation to various countries
and areas are secret. General Eisenhower’s Euro
pean army will, of course, get the biggest share.
The remaining $1.5 billion for economic aid in
support of military assistance is divided half a
dozen ways.
Europe again gets the biggest share—sl.o22 bil
lion. Of this, $565 million may be used to buy stra
tegic nraterials. Of the $967 million balance, a part
will still be economic aid for the countries whose
recovery has been slowest. Austria, Germany,
Greece, Iceland and Trieste are in this category.
For the Far East, the Department of State has
asked $375 million for the present fiscal year.
4Congress has approved $237 million. Much of this
is straight economic recovery aid.
It does not include economic assistance for Korea.
The Marshall Plan ceased to function there some
time ago. A separate $45 million authorization for
economic assistance to Korea has been approved.
For the Middle East, $l6O million has been au
thorized. But this does not include Greece and Tur
key, which are in the European program. Also, two
big chunks of the $l6O could be transferred to spe
cial accounts by MSA Coordinator Harriman.
Fifty nrillicn dollars could be allocated to the
United Nations for the Palestine refugee program.
Another SSO million could be-earmarked for Arab
relief. This would leave S6O million for Iran and
North Afrita.
-f.%-mncn INCLUDED IN PROGRAM
““&9 ~America is brought into this world-wide
as ,;cam for the first time with an authoriza
tion of s2l million. All of this will be the so-called
“Point Four” aid for under-developed countries. It
~ will be under State Department administration,
_and it will be divided several ways.
? Wmm of the ame int may be transferred
o the ted Nations for it. program to aid under
rvd countries, Of the $lB million remaining,
- over $8 million will. g to the Institute of Inter
m Affairs. This is the U. S. government cor
g mea which, since early World War II days, has
‘been operating agricultural, health, educational and
E technical development projects on a shared
post basis with various Latin-American countries.
Its present head is Kenneth ijrson.
At is anticipated that the ITAA and the Point Four
program will be continued more or less perman
ently even after the Mutual Security Administra
tion is liquidated in 1954.
Point Four is expected to grow. Under the pres
ent MSA authorization, Point Four is allocated a
total of $147 million.
The S6O million for the Middle East will be
largely Point Four projects. Ethiopia, Lybia and
Liberia in North Africa will get from $1 m!llion to
$1.5 million apiece out of this,
Latin-Amrerica will get the s2l million mentioned
above. India, Pakistan and Southeast Asia will get
a total of nearly $66 million. :
In addition to all these sums, Congress provided
that up so 10 percent of the $6 billicn military aid,
or S6OO million could be transferred to economic
ald. Also, authorized aid of any kind—!like Point
Four—may be transferred from area to area, as
from Europe to Asia or vice versa, as new emer
gencies arise.

GOP's Gabrielson Should
Emulate Boyle's Exampie
Once a story was told of a husband w ho, thoughi
not quite true to his wife, still asked her to believe: |
“I have been faithful to you—in my fashion.” t
Whether he realizes it or not, that's about what
William M. Boyle, jr., was saying to the public when |
he resigned as Democratic national chairman,
Boyle declared he had always conducted hinrself
with “honor and propriety.” Apparently his boss,
President Truman, thought so, too. He long ago told
newsmen his own investigation had satisfied him
Boyle's behavior was above reproach.
But certainly the public must have other ideas
about the moral tone of Boyle’s performance. He
continued to take payment from a private firm
after assuming the role of acting national chairman.
Though he denies having or exercising any influ
ence, it is a fact that following a telephone call to
the RFC from him, that corporation won a loan
from the RFC. Three tinres before the company had
been turned down.
Investigation in Congress brought out that an
RFC efficial drew pay from Boyle. Moreover, after
taking over as natioanl chairman, Boyle managed
to sell his law practice for $150,000. It can hardly |
be imagined that the purchasers thought they were
buying a routine legal clientele. They were getting |
a business with important connections. '
But why go on? In all this Boyle sees no wrong.
He thinks he has kept faith with the public. His
notion of reputable conduct in public office fits ex
hibited by so many of his confreres in government
in this strange year of 1951. “I saw nothing wrong
in it” seems destined to go down as the Great Re
frain with which we opened the second half of the
20th century.
If all was so circumspéct, what led the gentle
man to resign? Officially, he cited his health, and
there seems no reason to question it was a factor.
But other sources suggest Boyle knew other revela
tions were still to come, aand felt that neither his
health, his family nor the Adnrinistration could take
it much longer.
Whatever the explanation, it must be counted a
public gain that Boyle is out. Everyone interested
in getting government out of its present morass
now hopes that the President will select as a suc
cessor a man with a sharper concept of the public
duty than Boyle displayed.
Boyle's departure from the scene cannot help but
stir thoughts about the future of his Republican
counterpart, Guy Gabrielson. The latter also was
involved in efforts ot get RFC loans for a corpora
tion with which he had ties. Of course, Gabrielson’s
party was not in power. But it is nevertheless fool
ish of him to insist that he therefore had no influ
ence. He knows the political facts of life better
than that.
The average American could be forgiven for
feeling that Boyle has set a good precedent by re
signing, and that the well-being of government
and of both major parties might be served if Gab
rielson were now to follow suit.
Hitting The Alibi Trail
Back in 1948, a private railroad car was quietly
fitted out for special duty by the Army Signal
Corps in Lexington, Ky. The “special duty” proved
to be President Truman’s whistle-stop camrpaigns,
which won him a surprising re-election.
Now reports have leaked out that the car is back
in Lexington undergoing overhaul. The loud
speaker system, pretty heavily taxed in 1948, is
getting special attention. It looks as if the President
were getting set to embark on another tour of the
land.
Three years ago, Mr. Truman took for his whis
tle-stop theme what he considered the deplorable
doings at the congressional end of Pennsylvania
Avenue. But if he ventures forth this time he's
more likely to be pre-occupied witih explanations
anpd justifications of behavior at his owm emd of
town.
Reds Have A Reason
The Soviet Union has come up with one of its
typical maneuvers on revision of the Italian peace
treaty.
The West’s primary aim in calling for revision, of
course, is to remove present limits on Italy’s re
armament so that country can take part more fully
in the North Atlantic alliance.
Russia now says it will agree to revision and to
Italy’s adnrission to the UN if the Italians withdraw
from the North Atlantic Pact and if the West agrees
to revision also of the peace treaties with Bulgaria,
Hungary and Rumania.
Agreement on the first point would defeat the
whole purpose of revision. The second is patently
absurd, since Moscow long ago “revised” the satel
lite treaties unilaterally, to suit its own military
aims.
. The Kremlin really spoke up on the revision issue
for just one big reason. For the sake of commun
ism’s future in Italy, Russia had to show interest in
the improvement of Italy’s status as a nation. But
no one will be fooled that that interest is genuine.
It is . . . disturbing that so many Americans
appear to be more interested in disparaging and
discrediting Truman than in licking Communism.—
Senator Irving M. Ives (R.-New York).
If you are married to a rich woman, you are ac
cused of seeking her money. And if you are mean
to her . . . you are also a dead duck.—Prince Igor
Troubetzkoy.

Nafion Lacks Roads For Economic
Needs; Traffic May Choke Us,
Aufomobile Industry Expert Says
By P. W. LITCHFIELD
Board Chairman, Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Co.
(Written for NEA Service)
AKRON, O.—(NEA)—Ours is a
country that grew great because
from the beginning we have been
a people of broad vision and great
energy. We pushed back frontiers
and hewed trails through impene
trable forests.
We have never waited for a
path to be beaten to our doors;
we have blasted mountains to
make a path to wherever the pro
duct of our ingenuity could be
used. Wherever we saw the need,
we cut a wider, a longer, a better
path.
The result is probably the great
est mileage of road and highway
in the world. Unfortunately,
great as the mileage is, it is not
enough. As a simple, demonstra

ble fact, we do not have half
enough roads today. If our high
ways are the arteries that carry
the lifeblood of our economic sys
tem, our country is on the verge
of a serious illness,
We do not have enough roads to
meet our economic or social needs
today. As we grow bigger, this
lack of roads will choke us.
Today, half the wage earners in
the United States get to and from
their jobs by highway transporta
tion. As our business and indus
try grows it tends to spread farther
beyond residential areas and there
will be more people travelling far
ther to and from work, over roads
that even now can’t carry them.
In every part of our country the
trend is rapidly toward disper
sion. You can see it in towns like

York, or towns too small to be on

the map. You can see how fast
we are approaching a crisis from
the fact that 90 per cent of our
food and 75 per cent of all our
freight depend for distribution
upon highway transportation,
What's more, there are more
than 25,000 communities in this
country entirely dependent upon
motor vehicle transportation for
their daily existence,
Not only are we not making
provision for our growth, even
now we don't have enough or good
enugh roads to meet our needs.
We are putting more vehicles on
our roads and at a greater rate
than any of us ever anticipated.
Since the war, new motor vehicle
registration has increased at the
average of 3,700,000 per year. Our
six per cent of the world’s popula
tion uses 78 per cent of the world’s
EDITOR’S NOTE: Paul W.
Linchfield (right), who wrote
the accompanying dispatch on
the nation’s highway situation,
has been associated with the
rubber branch of the automotive
industry since 1900, when he
joined Goodyear. He has been
chairman of the board of that
company since 1930, and also
has been a leader in the devel
opment of lighter-than-air eraft,
passenger cars and 51 per cent of
its trucks and buses. *
It is incredible that a country
that takes pride in the fact that
the automobile is a casual neces
sity, allows its highway building
program to lag so far behind that
today 99 per cent of our roads are
only two lanes wide—or less, Dif
ficult to believe as it may be,
about half the principal rural
highways, carrying more than
1000 vehicles a day, are less than
20 feet wide.
The time has come to do some
thing about this. If we are to
pass on to our children a country
with as much opportunity as we
had, we must now create a broad,
comprehensive, and integrated
highway building program."
And once we have such a pro
gram, we’'ve got to protect it from
politics and keep it out of the pork
barrel. .
For years the large sums of
money collected as highway-use
taxes have tempted politicians and
beitween 1934 and 1948 the states
diverted $2,393,000,000 of highway
funds to other purposes. In other
words, for that period we did not
get 104,000 miles of road for which
we paid.
Fortunately, in 21 states the
constitution has been amended to
prohibit such diversion. To get
the kind of highway program we
need, 48 states will have to take
that action.
For instance, too often multi
lane roads are built where they
are not needed because of politi
cal pressure. And that’s why you

will find two-lane roads being
built where the traffic requires
two, three, or four times that
width.
Our problem, then, is to first
use all the money available to
build the highways we need, and
then prepare for the future by
turning our technicians loose an
the problem of building better
highways more cheaply. It is a
problem of vital importance to
every person in this country—and
his children.
ROCKEFELLER CENTER TREES
p&& ETAONLDART HT T TA
NEW YORK, — (AP) — Three
honey locust trees 50 feet high will
soon be planted on the Fifth Aven
ue side of Rockefeller Center to
replace the three elms that found
city life too tough.
The trees, each weighing more
than five tons, were brought here
from New Jersey by truck and
trailer. Ten-foot balls of earth
protected the roots.
The honey locust tree is believed
by horticulturalists to be thg best
qualified tree to replace the dis
ease-ridden American elms. The
honey locust tree branches out in
a wide, graceful shape and is re
latively free of pests and disease.
BERLIN “FLOOR MAP”
BERLIN, — (AP) — The Rus
sian sector of Berlin is drilling a
lot of holes in the ground these
days to find out how far is down.
Faced with the urgent need to
rebuild dwellings on the site of
twisted bomb ruins, squadrons of
workmen have been assigned to
gather the data for a “floor map”
of the downtown area.
The map is designed to show
how much weight an area can
handle. It is a dire requirement in
the central part of Berlin because
the city is literally sitting on sand.
