I'm quite sure they'd feel better about every thing if we started getting out of debt Instead of going deeper in. People as a whole are nobody's fools.

These authorities noted today me program must meet neavy strains not only in Congress, where it caught up in the battle over government costs, but also in Europe where extremely dif ficult economic problems are shap-. ing up. President Truman brought the Washington side of the situation sharply into national attention Saturday wilh his Little Rock war memorial speech. He de nounced as "false economy" any reduction; by Congress of funds which the Economic Cooperation Administration is asking for the second full year of the Marshall plan. ' ' ' After emphasizing that he re gards European recovery as a key element in his anti-Communist foreign policy, Mr. Truman said that a slash in funds now would wreck the. recovery already achieved, would "cancel the hopes and plans of the European na tions and would "be a great gain for Communism."

(rt) The U.. S. Circuit Court of Ap peals ruled today that a con gressional . committee has the right to demand that a witness say whether or not he is Com munist. The decision upheld contempt convictions of screen writers John Howard Lawson and Dalton Trumbo. For Lawson and Trumbo, the ruling moved them one step closer toward actually serving one-year Jail sentences. The sen tences, plus $1,000 fines, were meted out in U. S. District Court because they refused to tell the House Un-American Activities Committee last year whether or not they are Communists. All Lawson and Trumbo,' now free on bond, can do is appeal to the Supreme Court. They are certain to do that. Eight other movie figures are in the same boat with them. Their trials have been delayed by agreement pending outcome of the Lawson-Trumbo appeal. The uninmous decision of the three judges Bennett Champ Clerk, Wilbur K M.lllcr and George C. Sweeney said thai considering the times, and the influence movies play in Ameri can life, it is hard to imagine "any more pertinent question" than the one about Communist Party affiliation.
