Britain Bars Recovery In West Europe Refuses To Cooperate In Currency Exchange, Sen. Ellender Reports WASHINGTON, July 27-.P Senator Ellender (D-La.) Tues day accused Britain ol holding up recovery In western Kurope by refusing to go along on a currency exchange deal to spur trade. Ellender reported to the Sen ate on a three weeks tour of European countries and renew ed complaints about Britain that he had made previously In an Interview. His speech came in the midst of a hot Senate dispute over the $5,723,000,000 foreign aid pro gram. He said flatly that the "Mar shall plan is a failure" unless the European countries change drastically the way they are act ing toward each other on cur rency exchange. He said he supposed Britain has a good reason for acting as she has. But he declared it is a "shame that one country is keep ing back the progress of Europe" by refusing to make currencies "more flexible." The strain of the long session was beginning to show in the debate which centered on money for the second year of the Eu ropean recovery program. Senators snapped at each other angrily over an issue that few thought would cause a ripple. The major issues were yet to come. The Senate voted $344,000 to keep a congressional "watchdog" committee checking on recovery spending. But not before majority leader Lucas of Illinois stirred up a wordy scrap by trying and foiling to have the funds cut to $:oo,ooo. Eliender told friends his trip convinced him Europe can't re cover unless: (1) Germany is pulled back to recovery; (2) Eu rope produces goods at prices the people can afford to pay; (3) and currencies are made convertible from one European country to another.

Soldier Disguise' Becomes Reality WILLIAMS AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz.-CP)-An escapee from a Nazi labor battalion who disguised himself as an American soldier to get to the United States, is now a second lieutenant In the U.S. Air Force.
