US Senators Taft, George, and Ball predict delays in Congressional approval of the Marshall Plan, pushing the European recovery program to July 1 instead of April 1, with possible additional stop-gap aid in the interim. Last month's $540M aid to France, Italy, Austria, and China may extend to June.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.-(P)
Senators Taft (R.-Ohio) and George D.-Ga.) predicted today it probably will be July I-three months later than the administration's target date - before any long range European recovery program goes into effect.
And Senator Ball (R.-Minn.) said, without naming a new date, that "there is no chance" Congress will meet the April 1 deadline set by the State Department for final Congressional approval of the Marshall Plan.
Taft and George agreed in separate interviews, however, that Congress might vote additional stop gap assistance to tide some European nations over a part of the April-July interval they foresee.
Last month during the special session Congress appropriated $540,000,000 in stop gap aid for France, Italy, Austria and China. This program is scheduled to wind up April 1, but Taft and George said they believe the money may last until June.
