It is a proof of an inferiority complex. He that is upright, in I he way

Clause May Wreck ECA
'THE $3,778,000,000 Marshall plan fund approved by the
senate appropriations committee should hear the title,
“U. S. farm relief hill.”
It deserves this label because of a secret proviso ear-
marking an estimated $1,500,000,000 exclusively for pur-
chase of American surplus farm products to l>e dumped in
European countries.
Reporters unearthed the clause after the committee
avoided any mention of it in announcing its recommenda-
tions.
How did the earmarking feature get into the bill?
During committee hearings on economic cooperation
administration funds, Senator Wherry of Nebraska, Re-
publican floor leader, asked Paul Hoffman, head of ECA,
to furnish estimates of the surplus farm commodities each
ECA nation would need in the current year. It was a hostile
challenge, for the Nebraskan didn’t think it would be met.
Reporters said Wherry appeared surprised wlien Hoff-
man produced the figures some time later. They gained
the impression that many senators promptly lost interest
in cutting ECA funds sharply after they learned how much
of their home area farm production would likely gx> into
the program.
* * *
PUT ECA never intended to stick rigidly to the estimates,
either for particular commodities or particular coun-
tries. They were simply offered as a rough guide to com-
mittee action.
The effect of the secret clause is now to freeze these
estimates into rigid legal requirements. It would mean ECA
must buy surplus farm products in the estimated amounts
or not use the money at all. In other words, it could not be
transferred for other useful purchases.
Britain, for example, would get $200,000,000 worth of
cotton under the estimates. Optimistic forecasts of textile
exports lay behind the figures. If the export market should
contract severely, Britain would have either to take cotton
it doesn’t need, take some other farm commodities it has
no use for, or do entirely without part of the money allotted
to it.
This provision is thus a cruel twist of the aims of the
Marshall plan. That program is directed toward getting
Europe back on its feet economically, not toward providing
a handy dumping ground for products America can’t sell
at home.
* * *
THE clause represents a disheartening display of national
A and regional selfishness by the committee at the very
moment high-minded statesmanship is most urgently
desired.
The current British dollar crisis symbolizes the deep-
seated difficulties the Marshall plan seeks to solve. Sincere
doubts have recently been raised as to the plan’s effective-
ness. All the wisdom we can muster is needed to attack the
problem of western Europe’s future economic course.
But this attempt to distort the plan into a farm relief
program stems from no reasonable doubt. It reflects no
regard at all for legitimate Marshal plan objectives.
Hoffman believes the secret clause would wreck ECA
oveijnight. fie. says that staking to rigid earmarking of
fijpdfi’Irnight"Well 'waste hundreds of millions of dollars.
If this feattiro shbuld become law, Hoffman and his
whole ECA crew could be forgiven for resigning in a body.
Certainly the senate would merit a severe shock for bowing
to narrow nationalism in the face of compelling inter-
national responsibilities.

1IAR-S. MALONE locked all the
doors in the rear of the Dude

suitcases and her winter coat, en-
tered the bar for a last look around.

said noon. The Las Angeles bus
would lie along In 20 minutes and
would stop for her if she signaled.
She made certain that the hot
plates and grills were properly
greased to withstand the months
of disuse ahead. She tested the
looks on the cupboards and cabi-
nets where the tableware and china
were stored. Then she closed and
barred the shutters, and went out-
side to wait.
It was a brilliant, clear day
mid - September. The desert no
longer shimmied in the full sum-
mer heat, and the straight ribbon
of road had lost its tar-pit look
and was hard and blue under the
cloudless sky.
Mrs. Malone was thinking. She
had had a good season. Thousands
of tourists, I os Angeles bound, had
been attracted by the log cabin,
the shady porch, the clean rest-
rooms, and had stopped for sodas,
hamburgers, coffee, candy bars and
cigarets.
She watched the horizon for the
bus and mentally recounted her
profits. Plenty, she figured, to pay
her share at her sister's for the
winter. y
A few cars passed, but for the
mast part it was very quiet, the
wonderful quiet of the Mojave
which takes hold of one like strange
music. No matter how many people
poured across it, the desert re-
mained untouched, pristine.

Mrs. Malone thought, but somehow
unpleasant. Also his face seemed
vaguely familiar.
Quick, catlike he walked back
along the trailer and opened a
door in its side. As he did so,

down and touched the pavement, j

lently the steps retracted. The door
closed.
The young woman was pretty, in
a faded-blond way, but her expres-
sion was so anxious, so troubled,
in j that she looked older than she
probably was. The uniformed
driver took the luggage and fol-
lowed her as she hurried toward
Mrs. Malone.
"Do you know when the next
Los Angeles bus will come?" she
asked breathlessly.
"In about five minutes,” Mrs.
Malone said.
"Thank goodness! Oh, thank
goodness!”
"I’ll wait," the driver said, put-
ting the luggage down, "and make
sure you get aboard.”
“No. Please. I'll be all right.
This lady here is all the company
I need. You go right ahead."
"Mrs. Everson said to wait." the
dirver insisted. He sat on the
cabin steps and lighted a cigaret.

"I'm 38."
"You don’t look it," he said.
He squinted up at the sign:
"Dude Hamburger Ranch."
"Do you run this joint?”
"I did. I’m closing today for
the winter.”
"I'll bet you’re a good cook," he
said.
"Not bad. but nothing fancy. I
like cooking, and that’s what
counts, I guess.”
He nodded toward the spectacu-
lar trailer, which stood shimmer-
ing like a giant dragonfly in the
sun.
“How'd you like to cook for her?”
he asked.
"Who’s her?"
"Mrs. Everson. She needs a cook
and she’11 pay big wages. . . .”
“Don’t you do it!”
The young woman with the
frightened eyes turned on Mrs.
Malone with a sort of violence.

thought it must be a moving-and-

towing some kind of a house.
Gleaming silver white in the sun,
it approached from the west. . . .
This thing, whatever it was, now
took on the appearance of an
armored fortress. It approached
swiftly and smoothly until Mrs.
Malone was able to identify it as
an enormous trailer pulled by a
truck. A smaller trailer drawn by
a car followed close behind. The
"thing" had a tall, cleaving prow,
like a ship. It seemed to be made
entirely of chromium and was
streamlined from bow to stern . . .
a great boat-shaped cradle on
wheels, glittering so that it hurt
the eyes.
The whole caravan slowed up as
it approached the log cabin, and
directly in front of Mrs. Malone
the driver of the leading truck
brought the contraption to a stop.
"Hi, there," he called, leaning
out of his cab, "is this a bus sta-
tion?"
She said yes, it was, and that
the Los Angeles bus was due any
minute.

Federals Can Nab
Bootleggers Again
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 19—(/P)
—Sam Lattimore, assistant attor-
ney general, today announced the
last legislature apparently reenact-
ed without its knowledge a law
which allows federal aid In stop-
ping bootlegging.
The “bone dry" provision, which
permits the federal government to
seize liquor imported in Oklahoma,
was unobtrusively written Into a
bill which permits alcohol and sac-
ramental wine to be imported into
Oklahoma.
Lattimore discovered the provi-
sion two months after It became
law. A "bone dry" law by itself was
killed by the last legislature.
The “bone dry" law was repealed
in 1947 as a "sleeper" in the beer
tax law. It originally was put on
the books in 1939 after congress
passed a measure which pledged
federal aid to prevent the flow of
liquor into dry states.

★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
German Diplomats Are Back
For First Time Since War
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Corrc-'.pondent
WASH'NGTON—(NEA)—The first “Advance Country Mission"
" from the new west German government was quietly brought into
Washington last month. It consists of two men and a woman—Edward
Schneider, Herr Bantzner and Gertrud Keller.
This marks the first step towards resumption of official diplomatic
relations with the German people. Those relations were broken when
Hitler’s Germany declared war on the United States.
The three members of the new advance German mission were hand-
picked for their jobs by U. S. Military Government and Marshall Plan
officials in Germany. There was no secrecy about their coming. It
just wasn’t announced, apparently through some concern that there
might be an unfavorable reaction against resuming relations with
Germany before the new German government was set up and the
peace treaty signed.
First job of the new mission is to understudy operations of the
Marshall Plan, as it relates to economic recovery of western Germany.
To that end, the three Germans are undergoing a training program
arranged by the U. S. State Department, the Army and ECA.
The Germans have temporarily set up headquarters in a downtown
Washington hotel, but they are looking for other office space. In the
meantime they have been assigned desks in the Pentagon. ^
TIEAD of the German mission, Edward Schneider, is a 53-year-old
A businessman with four years experience in the U. S. before the
war. From 1924 to 1928 he was an accountant and personnel manager
for Guarantee Trust Co., of Detroit.
Returning to Germany in 1929, Schneider became chief of finance
for Opel Oil Co. for seven years. Then he became chief of finance for
Fichte! and Sachs, ball bearing manufacturers in Schweinfurt. These
Schweinfurt ball-bearing plants were targets during the war. 4
Since thf end of the war, Schneider has been a trustee for the ball-
bearing industry in the Schweinfurt area, working with the British-
American Bizone military government and the ECA mission working
on German economic recovery programs. (
Second member of the advance German mission, Herr Bantzner, 50,
is an agricultural economist and statistician. Since 1947 he has’been
on the staff of the Bizone Food and Agriculture Administration.
T,,e_ third member, Gertrud Keiler, a graduate economist, is serving
as assistant to Schneider and as secretary of the mission. ’ . *
A similar advance German mission has been assigned to the Paris
headquarters for Marshall Plan operations in Europe.
]\T° schedules have as yet been announced for the arrival of other
German officials in Washington or Paris, though eventually these
mission staffs will be increased and other missions appointed. These
developments will be the natural evolution in the long, slow process
of turning over to the Germans the operation of their own govern-
ment. Gradually, as Germans can be trained for specific jobs, more
and more responsibilities will be put on their shoulders.
In the American zone of Germany and to a lesser extent in the
British and French zones, practically all local government functions
have been turned over to Germans. t
Adoption of the new German constitution by German representa-
tives of these three western zones paved the way for the first German
national elections, now scheduled for Aug. 14.
Eventually this provisional German government will have its own
foreign office, its own diplomatic missions to other countries
There is a strong feeling among many American officials that because
of Germany’s importance to the whole western European economy
German representatives must soon be admitted to full partnership in
■J* ‘"ternahona1 conferences dealing with Europe’s problems. Naming
of the first German mission to Washington is a start in that direction
