THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE VOL. LXVI,, NO. 10,695 TAFT WOULD CUT EUROPE AID FUND Says Must Hlp Restore Economic Stability But $16 Billion Too Much EN ROUTE TO BOISE, IDAHO, | WITH TAPT, Sept. 30.—P—Sena- | tor Taft (R.-Ohio) said today “this céuntry must do something to re- store normal economic stability in | Europe” but called a proposed $16,- | 000,000,000 outlay for this purpose too large. 1 ‘The Ohio Senator, traveling east- | ward on the last leg of a Western political pulse-taking tour, dis- counted the possibility of Congress- ional action before next January on! any European aid program. i As head of the Senate's Republi- | can Policy Committee, Taft said he | doubts that a majority of members | of Congress could be assembled in | Washington from various parts of | the world where they are on tour before December, even if President | Truman calls a special session. He said, however, that he expects | to call the policy group together | next month to discuss the matter. } In response to a question by a| University of Idaha student at Mos- | cow yesterday, Taft said he thinks | a $16,000,000,000 outlay, possibly | spread over all four years, is too| much for Europe to expect from the | United States. | (Early speculation on the amount needed from the U. S, under the Marshall plan had placed the figure at $16;000,000,000 but the proposal from European nations set the total | needs at $22,400,000,000 of which the | United States was asked to supply | $19,330,000,000.) i “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1947 PRICE TEN CENTS DISCREDIT US.ISNOW RUSS PLAN Increasinglmolent Anti- American Campaign Is Predicted WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—(®— An increasingly violent anti-Amer- ican campaign by Russian press and radio was predicted today by | U.

[ The Washington, Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON 'NASHINGTON — Hawk-eyed H:nry Morgenthau casually mean- djred ipto the office of his ex-Cab- fjet colleague, Henry Wallace, the u}her day for an informal chat / which may have been their last for # long time. As the chat ended, Wallace stood up from behind his small, dust- clutteretl editor’s desk and said: | “Hen)y, why don't you and Mrs. Morgenthau come over to our farm tonight and have some supper with us?” Morgeathau said that he couldn’t accept the invitation because Mrs. Morgenthau wasn’t well. “I'm sorrier than I can tell you that we can’t accept,” Morgenthau added, with a nervous twang in his yoice like the ticking of a bomb about to explode. “You see, in a few days I don’t think you're going to be talking to me anymore, Henry.” Wallace was shocked, asked why. Morgenthau tbzn told how he had turned his fan.ous 900-volume diary over to Collier's to be published in a serles of articles. He added that the first article would be on the newsstands in a short time. “I'm afraid you won't like it very much Henry,” explained the dole- ful ex-Secretary of the Treasury, who with good reason FDR nick- named “Henry the Morgue.” “It seems that in my early days in the administration I thought you were quite a spender and said so.

Stan-! ky swung as the next pitch and ‘sent a long fly to Lindell. After ignoring three straight bad pitch-! es, Robinson watched two strikes sail over the plate, then fouled ai pitch into the dirt and finally drew| a base on balls. On Shea's second pitch to Reis- er, Robinson lit out for second| and beat Berra’s hurried throw which Rizzuto was forced to take on one bounce, crediting Robinson with a stolen base. Reiser hit the next pitch right back to Shea and Robinson was caught in a rundown between second and third with Rizzuto mak- ing the putout. Robinson, how- aver, held up the play long enough; for Reiser to reach second. Shea was credited with an assist. Walker punched a single into left field with the first run of the game. Lindell apparently lost the lazy fly in the sun as the ball dropped almost at his feet. Hermanski watched a third strike breeze by. One run, one hit, no errors, one left on base. Yankees—Branca's first pitch to! Stirneweiss was a called strike. Stirnweiss hit the next pitch di- rectly at Stanky, who threw him out. ! After pitching two balls to Hen- rich, Branca struck him out with the next three pitches as Henrich| swung and missed the last pitch. Berra swung at the first pitch and flied to Reiser in deep cen- ter. No rups, no hits, none left on base.

It was A fast game and there were many brilliant plays through- out the eight and one half innings. Remarkable too, there was not an error co! ted. Leo Durocher, suspended Brook- lyn manager, and his pretty wife, Laraine Day, were surrounded by autograph fans and photographers as they took their seats in a box to the right of the Dodger dug- out. A Larry MacPhail innovation was the introduction of a popular dance band, Guy Lombardo, replacing the customary brass band for the final half hour's entertainment before the tirst pitch. Thirty nine war-wounded pa- tients from Tilton General Hospi- | tal, Fort Dix, N.

P, Qi ot R T 2 NEW BOMBERS BEING DEVELOPED, BOEING AIRCRAFT WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—#— Boeing Aircraft disclosed today it is developing a new heavy bomber, the type XB-52, along with an advanced model of the B-50, the |latest in propeller bombers. Neither of these planes was des- cribed, but the XB-52 is believed to be an effort to apply gas tur- bine-powered propellers of heavy aircraft. The advanced B-50, to be known os the B-30C, will have important design changes. William M. Allen, Boeing Presi- dent, told of the new models in a statement submitted to the President’s Air Policy Commission. He also disclosed that the gross !weight of the B-50, which is basi~ cally the B-20 Superfortress with larger engines, is 164,000 pounds, compared with the usual gross {weight of 135000 pounds for the B-29. At leak loading, the B-50 carries 94 pounds for every square foot of wing—the heaviest wing-load- ing ever flown. o ] FROM SHEMYA Roy P.
