House Battle Over Navy Aviation Increase Sparks House Vote
Washington notes a heated fight in the House over adding about 300 million dollars for naval aviation to a peacetime 16 billion dollar defense bill. Backers led by Vinson and Sikes seek 5.3 billion for navy aircraft and 11,000 plus planes next year, aiming to raise the navy share beyond the committee's 5.02 billion.

Hoffman Sees ECA Spending Possibly Lower Than Proposed
Washington reports Paul G Hoffman said it is entirely possible the cost of the European aid program can be cut below the administration's 5.58 billion dollar request. Savings may come from lower prices for goods shipped abroad under the Marshall Plan. House-approved bill totals 5.38 billion. Senate bill is higher. Both chambers aim to extend the recovery program for 15 months until June 30, 1950 with cash to follow in a separate appropriation. Five from each committee work to settle differences. Sixteen Wisconsin reps voted for the bill. Hull opposed.
