WASHINGTON. (AP) - Senator Bridges (R.-N. H.) said Saturday he will insist that United States controls be increased over the American and British occupied zones in Germany if we assume a larger share of these costs.
Bridges told reporters "What I want to make sure of is that we don't have to pay all the bills."
The cost is now borne equally by the two countries but Britain recently asked the U. S. to pay a greater share.
Bridges, as chairman of the Senate appropriations committee, called a special session Saturday to hear top-ranking armed service officials at a closed door session.
Bridges said that army department officials are asking informal Congressional approval of plan to spend a part of $600,000,000 voted by the last Congress for occupation costs throughout the world at a greater rate than intended.
If the United States assumes a part of the occupation costs now paid by England, this appropriation will not last until next July 1. Officials probably would seek a deficiency or supplemental appropriation when Congress meets.
