April 20WP) The $5,300,000,000 already author ized for Euro peon recovery may noot be enough, Paul G Hoffman told the house appropriations com mittee today. Hoffman, administrator of the foreign aid program, told the com mittee: "My great fear is that even w ith the most careful planning and the most rigorous supervision of ex penditures, this amount may prove insufficient to accomplish the de gree of recovery we seek." Hoffman said he hoped for greater production in ail the na tions participating in the recov ery program. He said, however, tthat he is not sure how this could be done. A tentative division of the $5,300,000,000 European recovery fund gives Britain the biggest slice $1,324,300,000. Next in line come France, $1. 130.800,000; Italy. $703,600,000; The Netherlands, $509,600,000. and the British-American zones in western Germany, $437,400,000. Secrets ReveeJed These and other long secret facts and figures on the program were made public by the house commit tee. The committee got them from Hoffman. The committe is considering appropriations for actual operation of the program Hoffman is asking $4,245,000,000. This is in addition to $1,055,000,000 already provided for Of the 17 countries, including western Germany, which have agreed to help themselves and each other as a condition of American aid, Switzerland and Portugal are asking nothing dur ing the first year of the projected recovery program. Tentative al lotments have been made for all the rest. Ne Aid for Swiss Switzerland requires no aid and Portugal will get assistance from other sources, the committee was told. The aid program planners expect to spend more for grain than any other commodity $957,200,000, 000. Behind grain come cotton, $511,300,00; petroleum. $379,700 000 and tobacco $110,200,000 All figures are subject to change as needs arise, the appropriations committee emphasized.

The Statesman (Story also on page 1) A condemnation suit, seeking to acquire for Marion county title to right-of-way for an approach to the proposed Willamette river bridge at Independence, will be Instituted in Marion county circuit court today. The state highway commission okehed Tuesday a low bid of $845,900 on the 2,214-foot span which would replace the ferry 11 miles upstream from Salem. The condemnation proceedings. exercising the right of eminent domain, will be filed today by District Attorney Miller B. Hay den in behalf of the county. A resolution adopted by the county court Tuesday stated that the right-of-way land must be acquired by the county as a part of the bridge project, according to the contract between the state and Marion and Polk counties. Polk county has already secur ed iU right-of-way for the bridge approach on the Independence side of the river. Marion county negotiations with owners of the eastern approach site to date have bogged down. Hayden said. The county, Hayden added, intends to compensate legal owners of the land whenever they can be located. After the bridge is built the right of way will be deeded to the state. The right-of-way land In ques tion is 100 feet wide or 50 feet on each side of the Independence Salem road (market road 53), and about a quarter mile long. As far as can be determined, Hayden said, possible claimants and owners of the land include Paul us Brothers Packing Co. of Salem, state of Oregon, heirs of the J. R. Cooper estate and Col lins and Collins, Inc., a construc tion company. Easements involved concern those of General Con struction company, G.
