NO. 38 Controls and Outright Gifts Abroad Suggested by President's Advisers may Provoke Opposition Truman's Foreign-Aid Domestic Price Plan Heads for GOP Fight Continued High Taxes, Strong Anti-Inflation WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-(AP) -President Truman's probable program for helping Europe while fighting prices at home emerged today in a pattern likely to crash into Republican opposition on several fronts. Continued high taxes, strong anti-inflation controls and "outright gifts" abroad all were urged by the president's council economic advisors.
And all seemed certain to provoke sharp outcrys from many GOP legislators. In a weekend report to Mr. Truman on what this country can do to carry out Secretary of State Marshall's plan of helping itself, the council said the United States is well able to finance its share of the $22,000,000,000 program. But the advisory group cautioned that the inflationary risk involved will inquire government allocation of some scarce foods and other goods, controls over speculation, new credit curbs and -if these fail--possibly some form of price control. Several Republicans already had criticized Mr.
Truman's emphasis on high prices in his call for the November 17 special and Carroll Reece, chairman of the Republican national committee, loosed a fresh blast almost simultaneously with the report. The GOP chairman contended that in giving anti-inflation action "equal, if not preferred priority" over foreign relief, the president is "again seeking to disclaim responsibility for the evils made inevitable by the policies of his own administration." He said Mr. Truman had previously assured GOP leaders that foreign aid would bo the primary, if not the sole purpose of any special session.

Tides Recede on Carolina Coasts CHARLESTON, S. Nov. 3 -(AP)-Abnormally high tides were receding and accompanying heavy winds were losing much of their force early today after causing thousands of dollars in property damage along the coastline of the Carolinas and Virginia.

Today 49 Anti-Red Polish Leader Arrives in Great Britain LONDON, Nov. 3-(AP)Stanislaw Mikolajezyk said tonight he fled Poland through Russian zone of Germany to the British area after learning that the Moscow-sponsored Polish government planned to sentence him and at least two other Polish peasant party officials to death.
LONDON, Nov. 3-(AP)Stanislaw Mikolajezyk, the Polish opposition leader who fled from Warsaw two weeks ago, has made way to Britain by plane, a foreign office official notified a cheering House of Commons today. The British government has promised Mikolajczyk sanctuary. Christopher Mayhew, undersecretary of state for foreign affairs, said the plane carrying the 46-year-old leader of th Polish peasant party had landed at Manston Airfield, southwest of London in Kent County. There was no immediate indication as to the nationality or the type of aircraft in which Mikolajczyk arrived in Britain.
Mikolajezyk's whereabouts had remained a mystery, until today. Apparently Poland in fear of his life. Since his departure from his homeland with: a party of seven friends his Polish peasant party has been remodeled along lines favorable to Poland's Communist -led government. Informants in Warsaw have declared that Mikolajezyk's departure meant the end to organized political opposition to the present Polish regime. Hughes Flies $25 Million Aircraft in Surprise Test LONG BEACH, Nov.
3- -Howard Hughes' 000 flying lumberyard has tested its wings, and they work. Acting on impulse, the millionaire sportsman-film producerI plane-maker-tool manufacturer took the 400,000 pound plywood giant aloft yesterday at the end of what he earlier had announced would he a mere taxiing test. The dark-haired 43 year old Hughes had made two taxi runs over the choppy surface of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor while a throng of thousands ohed and ahed over the plywood boat's intensity. Then, on the third run, after its eight 3,000 horsepower engines had speeded it to about 100 miles an hour, Hughes eased back on the hydraulic controls, and the monster was airborne. "The buoyancy felt SO good that I decided to take it up," Hughes grinned at an informal press conference immediately afterward.
Nine-tenths of the U. S. supply By Frank Seems P. To Briggs A father was talking with me about his son's future the other day and of course, I advised him to. give the son as much education as was possible.
He seemed to disagree that an education was essential and ended the argument with me with the old saying "You know, what you don't know won't hurt you." Sometimes that statement is true. Oftimes we are just as well off by not knowing what the true facts are. Too often there is nothing we can do about them and their knowledge would cause us undue alarm. But that statement is not always true. You may not know that you are being infected by some disease germ but that does not prevent you from becoming sick because you were infected.
You may not know the primary principles for conducting your business but that will not prevent you from becoming bankrupt. It does not pay to be ignorant, although many people go through life doing little to extend their mental horizons and blaming all their misfortunes on someone else. Those who keep abreast of the times and make themselves "expert" in their line of work and keep themselves self-reliant will have all the "good luck" in life. No, a young man today cannot. afford to face the future feeling that.
what he doesn't know won't hurt him. -B. Funeral Today for Gov. Snell, Two Aids SALEM, Nov. 3-(AP)- State rites for Governor Earl W.

3- (AP) Sen. Vandenberg (R- Mich) today advocated a separate peace with Germany if the Council of Foreign Ministers remains deadlocked through this winter. While granting qualified endorsem*nt to the Marshall plan, the Senate president pro-tem maintained that "Germany's restoration to viable autonomy is at the core of Europe's rehabilitation.
