Presidential Secretary Charles G.

Ross said: "I think it will not be

It will be by tomorrow."

White House date to see Mr. Tru
man.
Delay Seen
One possibility of delav wa seen
hrwever, in reports that President
Truman Is faced with sharp differ
ences among his advisers as to
which government agency should
be nlaced In temporary control.
The choice waa reported to He
among the state department, the
reconstruction finance corporation
and the export-import bank.
Five countries are due to receive
the first help under the new 6.
098.000.000 foreign aid program.
They are Italy. France. Austria, The
Netherlands and Greece.
Shipments of food, fuel and dob
slbly some Industrial supplies are
considered of the utmost urgency
in the case of Italy because of the
need to bolster anti-communist
forces there ahead of the April 18
ejections.
But even as the multi-billion do
lar economic nrocram was beine
I thrown into gear, the state depart
ment was intensifying its study of
possible military support for the

The problem of furnishing guns
and bullets and possibly working
out a mutual defense alliance with
the western bloc may be discussed
with Belgian Premier Paul-Henri
Spaak here this week.

Indian School
Pay Asked
Klamath chamber of commerce
directors went on record today In
favor of asking congress to require
the Indian service to reimburse
Klamath county for "out-of-pocket
cost of educating the wards of the
government."
At a special meeting, the direc
tors discussed the question at length,
and in their final action did not
specify from what funds they
thought reimbursement should
come. The Indians In a council
meeting recently went on record
against meeting any educational
costs out of tribal funds.
The issue has arisen as a result
ot recent conferences in which it
has been stated that the county dis
trict is receiving far less money
from the government for educating
Indian children than the actual
cost of such education. A reimburse
ment to the extent of $40,000 has
been sugtresfrd. but the chamber
action did not name an amount.
