Page t, Roglster-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Friday, Jan. 18, 1948 Women Voters Discuss Plan For European Relief System (See Page 1 Picture) The President's Council and representatives from ten local groups of the Oregon League of Women Voters heard a discussion of latest developments in the European Relief Program (Mar shall Plan) and a statement of the league's position on the control of Inflation in the morning half of a day-long session attended by about 25 members in Eugene Fri day. Because this is an election year, action may possibly be postponed on the Marshall Plan, Dr. Edna Landros, second vice-president and chairman of the international committee, told the council. Rivalry Dr. Landros asserted that the Marshall Plan cannot be bi-partisan because each party is sensitive about the other's having more authority. . It Is particularly important, therefore, that each citizen keep an eye on his representatives in Congress, she declared. Timing of action on the plan is Important Dr. Landros explained, because it must be Implemented Dy the first of March to be effective this year. Compromise In the list of difficulties facing passage of the program, she In cluded the fact that Congress de sires compromise on the original outline, particularly In the amounts of money spent and Secretary of State Marshall re mains firm against such changes. Second, she declnred that if the plan Is passed there will be con troversy over administration, who will direct the program, how the plan will be administered in for eign countries, and whether con trol will stay with the State De partment or with Congress. The later point, she said, is "and un fortunate rivalry." Russian Third, she especially empha sized the "avowed and concerted" effort of Russia to sabotage the Marshall Plan in countries such as France and Germany, not un der Russian domination. She cited as the latest example Friday's strike, with consequent loss of production, which involves 75,000 workers In four Ruhr Val ley cities. The strike, supposedly in pro test to food shortages, is she said, reported linked with a Commu nist master scheme, "Protocol M" designed to wreck the Marshall Plan.
