Draft Held Alternative To European Aid Plan
Army Secretary Royall testified before the Senate foreign relations committee that the alternative to the European recovery plan may be drafting men for military service. He said voluntary enlistments are unlikely to meet needs, suggesting selective service as the remaining option. Forrestal told a House committee the Marshall Plan aims to prevent war and is not a threat. Senator Ball predicted a sizable cut to the administration's $6.8 billion request for the first 15 months.
