Marshall Plan
Stamped 'Rush9
By Congress
WASHINGTON, March 9-OP)-Congress
stamped "rush" on the
Marshall plan today amid grow
ing talk of a possible new war.
Extra sessions were lined up
or the senate to speed action on
the $5,300,004,000 European re
covery program.
And Chairman Eaton (R-NJ)
said the house foreign affairs
committee would begin writing its
own bill after hearing Maj. Gen.
Claire Chennault testify tomorrow
Oil aid to China.
Eaton told reporters after a
meeting of GOP committee mem
bers with House Speaker Martin
(R-Mass) that the house group
may reverse itself and consider
the ERP bill by itself.
"The time element is of great
Importance," Eaton said. The
committee has .been planning to
include ERP in the same bill with
aid to China, Turkey and Greece.
Leaders of both houses, confer
ring earlier in the day, failed to
reach agreement on a joint time
table. Secretary of State Marshall urg
ed quick action in a personal ap
peal to House Leader Martin (R
Mass) yesterday.
And today Senator Hill (D-Ala)
saying the recovery program is
"the best and most immediate

"The world is being pushed to

j Nearly 50 persons attended the
conference with the board, at
which Board Chairman Roy Har
land presided. Representing the
citizens' committee. Charles A.
Sprague presented his group's re
commendation and later expressed
satisfaction with the building pro
gram outlined.
Superintendent Frank Bennett
displayed estimates for construc
tion under the curtailed financing,
stressing that the new plans
omitted addition of covered play
area for grade schools, but would
include more classrooms and toi
lets on each floor.
Expansion for Bush
All' the new classrooms would
not be immediately filled, he said,
but would soon be needed, and
additions of only one or two rooms
at a time was a wasteful method.
At Bush school, Bennett noted,
enrollment next fall (on top of
current congestion) would fill the
new rooms.
With the group's approval in
dicated, Bennett urged that the
board not be held rigidly to the
schedule, because of possible pop-

Projects Outlined
The elementary projects out
lined are new elementary schools
at Four Corners (6 rooms) and
Capitola (9 rooms), additions of
five rooms at Bush, four at Mc
Kinley, six at EngleWood, four at
Richmond, four to six at West Sa

two at Swegle, the total cost ap
proximating f 1,050,000.
New gymnasiums, cafeteria and
classrooms at $325,000 are contem
plated for Parrish junior high,
with $15,000 to be spent at West
Salem on preparing an athletic
field at the new site. An addition
to the senior high school voca
tional shops would cost $110,000.
Approximately $90,000 to be
added to the bonds remains from
income on a serial levy voted a
few years ago and discontinued by
last year's consolidation.

Political Move
TOKYO, Wednesday, March 10
WHGeneral Mac Arthur announced
today he would not discuss politics

Allied occupation of Japan would
not "change in the slightest" as
the result of his entry into the
American political campaign.
His announcement was made
through Col. M. P. Echols, public
information officer. It declined
newsmen's requests for a special
press conference and for new pic
tures of the supreme allied com
mander. Echols said after conferring with
MacArthur that yesterday's state
ment of willingness to accept the
presidency was made "in his
capacity as a private citizen. He
has nothing to add to it. It does
not change in the slightest the mis
sion and routine rt general head
quarters as a military headquar
ters solely concerned with conduct
of the occupation of Japan." (In
order to campaign actively for the
presidency, MacArthur would haye
to retire from the army.)

CONCORD, N. II March
Dewey of New York held a sixto-lwo lead tonight for New
Hampshire's eight seats at the republican national convention
-on the basis of returns from more than a third of the
state's precincts. j
Harold E. Stassen, former governor of Minnesota, was
the only other outright contender in this first presidential
primary of 1948. . . :
One of his leading supporters, Republican National Com
mitteeman Frank Sulloway, who ran as a Stassen delegate.
said the New Yorker looked like I
a certain winner of five delegates.
Over the state, in 298 precincts
- - city wards and Individual
towns - - republicans elected four
delegates at large and each of the
two congressional districts chose
two others.
Kepvbliean Show
It was a republican show.
Though democrats also chose
eight delegates to their national
nominating convention, ail were
pledged to President Truman.
In the contest to select tour un
delegates at large, returns from
108 precincts put Dewey s backers
ahead in three races.
Dewey men were running one-
two in the second congressional
district and another was leading
the first district. A Stassen
backer was ahead for the second
seat in the first district. ,
Both Dewey and Stassen camps
had conceded beforehand that an
impressive victory today would
give a psychological boost to their
campaign. The eiiect on me next
primary - - Wiaconstn s on April o
-figured especially m ineir cal
culations.
Heavy Vote la StaU
Bright sunny skies brought out
an unusually heavy vote in this
primary - - the nation's first in the
1948 presidential campaign.
One significant feature - - some
politicians noted - - was that the
Eisenhower-pledged delegates
polled a small vote in the early
returns.
Even though General Dwight D.
Eisenhower repudiated a move to
draft him, two men pledged to
him ran for delegates-at-large and
his name appeared on the ballot.
