Aug. 27-;P)-Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Econ omics Bom Sir Stafford Cripps will go the Washington dollars talks in personal difagreement over one of Bevin's ideas, their associ ates said today. Prime Minister Atlee has called the British cabinet to all-day talks Monday to okay formally a policy worked out in weeks of backroom discussion. The Bevin-Cripps cleavage is likely to backdrop the cabinet conference. " Bevin, his associates say, has been plumping for what he calls a full-scale Integration of the dol lar and pound sterling systems. This could possibly mean a cus toms union or even a common currency, but informants say Bevin has never made clear just what he has in mind. American sources, in discussing his idea, have used the phrase "ec onomic union" an idea already publicly" rejected by Secretary of State Acheson. Bevin reportedly argues that in tegration ia not only essential but also a logical outcome of Anglo American diplomatic unity. Responsible officials in Cripps' department the treasury throw up their hands at Bevin's Idea. They say it's poetic and tartly declare that Bevin is no economist. Cripps takes the view that Brit ain can win through only by hard work by producing more goods at less cost and using high pres sure salesmanship to marke'. them fir dollars. Britain must have dol lars to buy the raw materials and food she needs.

Hunt Denies Getting; Favors From Vaughan By Marvin L. Arrow-smith WASHINGTON. Aug. 27 -m James V. Hunt, a key figure in the five percenter inquiry, said tonight he never has asked Maj Gen. Harry H. Vaughan for any thing; more important than tick ets to an Army-Notre Dame foot ball game. And Hunt flatly denied that he ever made the statement: "All I have to sell is influence." A wit ness at the investigation testified under path that Hunt did say that Hunt, self-described Washing ton management counselor, said it seems to him the senate inquiry has 1 produced "conclusive evi dence of the absence of any im proper Influence" on his part Hunt made his statements in an affidavit to a special senate subcommittee checking on whe ther - any such influence has fig ured ; in the handling of govern ment business.

A senate committee showdown is due shortly on the issues these involve: (1) whether to cut the western Europe aid figure, and (2) whether to write China into the bill Vandenberg refused to drop his demand that congress make a $160,990,000 slash in proposed military assistance for European members of the Atlantic alliance, although General Omar N. Brad ley told senate committees yes terday that such a cut would be false economy. Backing Amendment Most of the money that the Michigan senator wants to take out of the program is intended to stim ulate arms production in Atlantic pact countries. He is backing an amendment jointly with Senator Dulles (R-NY). Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the U. S. armed services, contends the $155,000,000 Mr. Truman asked for this purpose would enable pact members to re tool existing factories and produce more than $700,000,000 of arms. Ask Postponement Vandenberg and his supporters argue, however, that increasing western European arms production should await recommendations to be made by the defense council contemplated under the Atlantic alliance. They are reported to feel also that helping France to increase its arms-making would be resented A WHY SUFFER WITH YOUR FEET ANY LONGER? Haro my comfort ejfring Arch Support made to your. measure.'
