McKellar Urges Hoffman Resign to Aid ECA
In Washington, Senator Kenneth McKellar said it would be a very good thing if Paul Hoffman resigned as head of the European Recovery Administration. He argued Hoffman's threat to resign showed pressure on the appropriations committee and claimed the people would rejoice at his departure. Hoffman denied threats and insisted he would stay if funds allow effective operation, while urging Congress to fund the program adequately or let others run it.
