Hoffman CI aims
$5 Billion May
Not Be Enough
WASHINGTON. 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.

Officials Work
On Answer to
Tax Test Suit
Answer in the suit filed recent
ly by former Governor Charles A.
Sprague, to prohibit transfer of
surplus state Income tax revenues
and state corporate excise taxes
to the state's general fund, was be
ing prepared Tuesday by Attorney
General George Neuner and Dean
Ellis, attorney for the state tax
commission.
Neuner indicated the answer
would be filed in the Marion coun
ty circuit court Friday. Members
of the state tax commission were
named defendants in the suit.
Neuner, in a recent opinion, held
that these surplus funds are mis
cellaneous receipts and subject to
transfer. Opponents of the trans
fer contend that the surplus funds
are earmarked as an offset against
the property tax and cannot be
used for any other purpose.
Attorneys for the state said they
were hopeful that arguments
would be heard next week. The
case will come before Circuit
Judge George R. Duncan.

ity of adopting some workable
plan.
In its report concerning the re
cent U. S. supreme court ruling
prohibiting religious instruction
on public school property, the
committee asked that it be dis
missed as of May 15, when the lo
cal program closes. However, the
association approved reappoint
ment of the committee and addi
tion of eight new members.
Appointment of a local legisla
tive committee to consider and aid

Roy Lockenour, Salem, chairman
of the Oregon Council of Churches'

Acquire Bridge Right-of-Way
By Conrad Prange
Staff Writer. 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

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. Claude
