If congress and the American
people can keep the name in mind
as covering the purpose behind
the plan.
What is aimed at is not just
relief: to keep Europeans from
starving. Thousands starve an
nually in Asia without exciting
our great compassion. Nor should
the objective be merely to foil
Russia and ' thwart communism.
The real purpose is to get the
nations of western Europe back
on their - feet . economically. That
will relieve us of a burden and
should restore western Europe as
an active participant in world
trade, to the benefit of all na
tions. If we keep this idea of Recov
ery in mind we see that our ex
tension of assistance should not be
on a dole basis merely enough
food to fend off starvation. It
should be on a basis of helping
Europe to revive as producer of
goods and so become self-supporting.
If the economy is sound the
political situation quickly stabil
izes. If economic distress prevails
conditions favor political revolu
tion, the shifting of power to ex
tremes either left or right. Hence,
the amount and 'kind of aid the
United States extends should be
measured by the requirements for
Europe's recovery and by our
capacity to share, f
The present spate of rioting in
Italy and France is marked by
communist denunciation of "A
mericah imperialism". The pur
pose seems to be not so much to
take over power in these countries
as to create confusion and prolong
economic weakness, in hopes that
later these countries will fall an
easy victim to communism. The
United States need not be di
verted by these antics. The gov
ernments of France and Italy
should be able to take care of
these local uprisings and strikes.
Our 'plan should be worked out
on an affirjmative basis how to
restore and build up. That is
the sound , program for oursely.es
and for Europe. !.'

Clark to Ask
Indictment of
Ex-Gen. Meyers
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 - UP)
A senate inquiry was told today
that MaJ. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers
profited $150,199.64 or more from
a war plant and then . "concocted"
a false story for investigators.
The money was drawn through
the war years, largely from heavy
kickbacks on salaries paid officials
installed by Meyers, it was testi
fied. One of these officials, Bleriot
LaM arre, president of the Avia
tion Electric Company of Dayton,
Ohio, declared that Meyers came
to him last July and told him they
must get together on their testi
mony "regardless of how ridicu
lous it was." This, he said Meyers
told him, was to "avoid risks to
us both." ; .i'-o'r -fr f.: Jm
Lamarre testified that he told
"the concocted story to the sen

in closed session last month, but
that he later consulted an attor
ney, who- told Lamarre to "come
back nd teU the truth."
Meanwhile, Attorney General
Clark said the justice department
is preparing to ask a grand jury
to indict Meyers on an income tax
evasion charge.

British Laborite Asserts U. S.
In Grip of Anti-Red 'Hysteria9
By Cenrad Prange
SUff Writer. The Statesman
America's fear and hysteria
stemming from its current anti
communist campaign is retarding
United States recovery as well
as world peace, Victor Yates, la

liament, said here Wednesday.
Pausing briefly in Salem on an
eight-weeks speaking tour of this

spoke at Willamette university's

In a speech sparked with humor
Yates criticized the American press
for "misrepresenting British poli

ed this country for its fear of
Russia and got off an imitation
of Winston Churchill (complete
with spectacles) that was as rich

He thought-the Marshal plan
for aiding Europe a good one, al
though he said it would be more
effective if it had been sponsored
by the United Nations assembly
and if lt were stripped of its
anti-communist flavor.
The .labor party an Great Brit

out of its war slump, he stated.
"We plan to socialize only 20

Titles on New
Son-in-Law
By Jack Smith
LONDON, Thursday, Nov. 20
(JP)- The wedding day of Princess
Elizabeth and the Duke of Edin
burgh, who used to be Lt Philip
Mountbatten, dawned today
through a screen of mist, -j
A drizzling early morning rain
soaked the thousands who sat on
the curbstones all through the
night to wait for the wedding
procession. - j
Official weather forecasters is
sued a special prediction, howev
er, which held out some hope that
the sun might yet shine, at least
a little bit, on the, marriage of
Britain's heiress to the throne. The
weathermen said there would be
clouds, but "not much possibility
of fog."
The chatter and singing of the
gay, but wet, thousands who wait
ed through the 'night to catch a
glimpse of the wedding procession
melted into a quieter state of tense
excitement as the day dawned and
as newcomers to the watching
ranks poured J n by bus, taxi and
on foot. Scotland Yard estimated
a million persons would witness
the event.
Elizabeth retired shortly before
midnight but Philip stayed up lat
er at a small stag party In the
swank Dorchester hotel before re
turning to Kensington palace to
catch a few hours sleep before
the wedding.
Wedding Route Lined
By 6 a. m. (10 p. m. PST) the
entire wedding procession route
was lined with people. The curb
stone crowds were 12 deep around
Buckingham palace, and the
throngs were so tightly packed
around Westminster Abbey that
no more spectators could squeeze
in.
Philip on Bakany
Twice during last night Princess
Elizabeth and her fiance, now
"His Royal Highness, the Duke of
Edinburgh, appeared, with King
George and Queen Elizabeth, on
a flood - lighted balcony of Buck
ingham palace and waved to the
cheering thousands massed out
side. Only a scattered few had heard
the news that Philip's wedding
present from his future father-in-law
Is one of the highest titles
in the realm, t the Duke of Edin
burgh. '
The announcement spurred spe
culation that 'dizabeth will be
called "the Duchess of Edinburgh"
more frequently than "Princess
Elizabeth" after the Archbishop
of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey
Fisher, pronounces the couple
man and wife in ancient Westmin
ster Abbey this morning.
Exercising his royal preroga
tives, the king, decreed that Phil
ip's title shall bear the prefix
"His Royal Highness." Thus
George VI restored to the hand
some, 26-year-old British navy
lieutenant the title "HRH" he re
nounced when he gave up the
princedoms of Greece and Den
mark last March to take up Bn
tish citizenship.
Added Other Titles
At one stroke the king also
made Philip the Earl of Merio
neth and Baron Greenwich of

on each shoulder with a sword to
make him a knight and award

"Britain's and the world's re
covery depends on coal. Britain's
industries are the basis of its re
covery and industry depends on
coal."
Yates declared that more min
ers are being drawn back to the
mines which they had left be
cause of -poor wages and working
conditions and that the mines are
gradually increasing production.
"America must calm down,"
Yates said. If British people had
the hysterical fear of Russia that
Americans have, he stated, Eng
land would be at war in two
months. United States relations
with Russia should be carried on
in a more friendly manner.
Stating that in his opinion Rus
sia does not seek war or world
domination, Yates suggested a U.
S. credit .loan to Russia.
"That," 'he said, "would surely
break the iron curtain." He also
criticized the U. S. policy -of send
ing "big business capitalists" and
military men as our official repre
sentatives to Russia.
Yates, a member of the house
of commons for two years, lives
in Birmingham in the northern
part of England.

Relief Bill
Wins Vote
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 -UP)
Winter relief up to a total of
$597,000,000 for France, Italy and
Austria was approved by the sen
ate foreign relations committee
today with curbs designed to
safeguard supplies at home and
to keep an American eye on how
the money is spent.
But the senate-house economic
committee ruled out, for the pres
ent special session at least, any
consideration of President Tru
man's request for power to bring
back rationing and price control
on a "selective" basis, if other
anti-inflation measures fail.
Chairman Vandenberg (R-Mich)
announced the foreign relations
group's 13 to 0 decision.
Vandenberg said the bill would
go to the senate Monday and
would get "continuous considera
tion" until it was voted on. The
bill, however, is only an author
ization measure and does not Car
ry any funds. An appropriation
will have to be acted on later.
Much rougher legislative weath
er developed for the president's
10-point program to stop price
rises.
Chairman Taft (R-Ohio) of the
joint economic committee said ra
tioning and price control, two of
the president's key recommenda
tions, would be excluded from
committee hearings beginning
Friday on the cost-of-living pro
gram. "I think that if we are going
to get anything out of this special
session of congress we will have
to leave those points until the
regular session," said Taft

a total of six inches of snow, but
that the section was sanded.
