The Washington
conference ends with an agreeaent --
and
with cheers and hoorahs from the British.
After
da7a
of negotiations, the British,
American
and ~anadian
representatives formulated
a
seven-pGiit program, to
bolster up the
shaky
British economy. The most iaportant
clause provides that Marshall Plan money need not be spent
in the Onited
States.
Britain may use the funds to buy
cheaper elsewhere.
The British Chancellor of the Exch~quer says:
•Aa a
result of the talks, •• have brought our reserve po1itioa
into aanageable condition.• For an Engll~haan,
that's
entbuaiaaa.
In plain
English,
he aeans that the
settle ■eat
will enable the British to earn the dollars that they
need.
Altogether -
a
cheerful outcome to
a
conference that
began on a not over-optimistic note.

American armed forces are
staging a
sham battle
in
G
ermany
and
this today turned into
a war
of
words
between Army and Airforoe.
In the big maneuvers, a
coluan
of infantry was wiped out
(theoretically)
by
air
attack --
or so
the flyers claim.
The Army denies it,
hotly and
says the annihilated force
of soldiers is fine and
dand7
and full
of
fight.
The Army, at
tbe
same
time,
declare•
that a large squadron
of
the Airforce t~ied a lowlevel
strafing attack, and was virtually wiped out --
which the
Airforce
in turn
hotly denies.
So the
imaginary battle
against
the
enemy bas
turned into another of those
inter-
service arguments --
not imaginary at all.
So

in fact, that the Airforce is threatening to withdraw ita
planes from the war games -- and let the
Army
hav~ an
oldfashioned campaign, all on the ground.

That was followed by a meeting in aahington
