Washington sources say the Export-Import Bank with about 800 million dollars in funds is being considered as an emergency aid channel to Europe without a fall session. Officials say the idea could be raised at President Truman’s meeting with congressional leaders, though no decision is final. Truman favors relief without immediate Congress, but keeps options open. The bank has already extended 2.7 billion dollars in credits to Europe and Asia in past years, conditioning new loans on aiding American commerce.
