"We are well-heeled In pennies," a spokesman said.

SENATE UNIT OKS LABOR DEPT. FUND Approves $14,909,990 For Fiscal Year; Is More Than Allowed by House WASHINGTON, April 23 (P) The Senate Appropriations Committee agreed today to give the Department of Labor $14,909,990 for its operations during the fiscal year be ginning July I.

April 23 (JPy Western Europe's economic-military alliance will set up shop here tomorrow, and perhaps draw up papers for the admission of a new partner Italy. Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin will address the delegations representing Britain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg at the first session of the alliance's central committee.

The question of Italy's admission is expected to get high priority as a result of the election rebuff the Italians gave Communism. There appeared little doubt the bid will be extended even in the face of some opposition from Belgium, The Netherlands' and Luxembourg. The 'Benelux countries have suggested a decision should await a test on the stability of the new Italian government. The formal invitation probably will be deferred until the government is formed. One of the central committee's first jobs will be the formation of a joint military committee to work out plans for mutual aid in the event any one of the nve powers in tne alliance is attacked by an aggressor in Europe.

There has been speculation, thus far unconfirmed, that out of this committee will come an Allied military staff headed by Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery, chief of the British Imperial General Staff Once formed the military committee will consider such' questions as common training programs and joint maneuvers, and, ultimately, the standardization of arms. The central committee itself will study so far undisclosed results of investigations on the advisability of seeking a military pact with the United States. While diplomats here regard such a request as certain, there have developed differences over the timing and procedure largely stemming from the risk of raising a controversy in the U. S. Congress over the issue.

Palestine Continued Frm Flnt Fc should concentrate now on action to avert the spread of civil war. Britain plans to end her mandate in Palestine May 15 and have all her troops withdrawn from there by Aug. 1. Creech-Jones supported a French proposal for emergency action to protect the holy places of Jerusalem. He also agreed the UN should study the trusteeship plan advocated by the United States.

The French measure has first pri ority when committee debate is re sumed Monday. The task of the newly-created truce commission was restricted to assisting the security council "in supervising the implementation by the parties of the truce order. The United States, France and Belgium agreed they would name three representatives to work on the Jruce here while their consuls worked in Palestine. UN Too Late, Is View Meanwhile, a Jewish Agency offi cial declared in a news conference that it was too late for the UN to put the proposed trusteeship plan into effect. The official was Michael Comay, press officer for the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem.

He arrived from Palestine by air yesterday. Comay said British rule in Palestine has ceased to exist and that partition already is a reality. The only way for aie Arabs to prevent the establishment of a Jewish government, he said is to get help from the regular arm.es of the neighboring Arab counff.es At Washington, three senators an nounced today a "national emer-, gency conference" will be held at the national capital May 7-10 toi discuss Palestine and the Middle! Senators Tobey (R-NH), Chavez (D-NM) and Morse iR-Ore) said more than 100 foreign experts, congressmen, labor and industrial lead ers will participate. The object, they said, is to work out a "practical American policy which is not based on makeshifts but on creative solution." Jewish War Call Sounded JERUSALEM. April 23 (JP David Ben-Gurion, premier-designate of the Jewish state, declared in a Passover broadcast tonight that Jews are buckling on the sword and called upon them to "mobilize all hidden resources of strength, will power, devotion and ability." Ben-Gurion spoke as thousands of Arabs streamed out of Haifa, Palestine's big port, in a self-imposed exodus following Jewish conquest of the city.

Martial law ruled the Jewish-occupied sections of the city as the result of a proclamation by Haganah. Jewish militia. British army reports said the city This historic Wright airplane, the (first power-driven plane to accom- plish human flight, will be deposited In the United States National Mu seum in Washington." The British have made a precise copy of the original plane, having obtained some guidance from Orville Wright on the project. A Smithsonian official said he does not know the date the plane will be returned, or the details of the trip. A suggestion has been made that it be brought back on an aircraft carrier.

Two airlines have offered to bring it back by air. Present plans are to hang the Kitty Hawk in the spot now occupied by the plane which Col.j Charles A. Lindbergh flew to Paris, in 1927. Committee Quickly Approves Him for Roving Envoy Job; Hoffman- Lauds Selection WASHINGTON, April 23 VP) The Senate foreign relations committee today stamped quick and unanimous approval upon the choice of W. Averell Harriman to handle over seas direction of the European Re covery Frogram.

The Senate probably will confirm tne roving ambassador" appointment next week. Haxriman is quit ting as Secretary of Commerce to take the new job. The No. 1 man of the program. Paul G.

Hoffman, commented: we all feel that because of his great knowledge of Europe, Mr. Harriman is almost the indispensable man in this program. He is bringing to us a complete confidence that we can win the peace." Hoffman also told newsmen the aid program, vast as it is, will not add to the inflation pressures in the United States. He said foreign shipments actually will be less than they have been in recent years. in referring to Harriman's knowl edge to Europe, Hoffman was talk ing of various posts including am bassadorships to Britain and Russia which Harriman held before he became secretary of commerce in 1946.

Mr. Truman's new choice for sec retary of commerce, Charles Sawyer of Cincinnati, sat in as an observer at today's Cabinet meeting. He told reporters his appointment had nothing to do with Ohid politics. President Truman said the same thing yesterday. The point was rais ed because Sawyer is honorary chairman of a campaign committee trying to get Ray T.

Miller of Cleveland nominated" by Ohio Democrats for governor. Sawyer said he wouldn't give up the honorary post but that "as the President's appointee, I shall take no part in the primary. Hoffman said that by the end of next week his administration will have authorized shipments of food to more of the 16 western non-Com munist European countries. Shipments have thus far been approved for Italy, France, Greece, The Netherlands, and Austria. Bridge Continued From First Pare port four building plans ranging In cost from $450,000 to $2,800,000.

Repair and reconstruction under Plan A would include new south approach spans, removal of existing spans, reconstruction of the south rest pier, a new pier In the inlet, a new pier south of the jetty, new enders and draw protection and a number of miscellaneous repairs.

ALBANIANS ACCUSED BY SPECIAL UN GROUP LAKE SUCCESS, April 23 (Py The United Nations special Balkan committee charged Albania today with repudiating a decision of the UN Assembly. In a letter to the Albanian Government made public here, the committee said Albania's refusal to cooperate in the investigation of Greek frontier incidents "can only be interpreted as a repudiation" of the Assembly's resolution of last Oct. 21.

This resolution called on the quarreling Balkan countries to work with the committee in trying to find a solution to their difficulties. "This attitude of the Albanian Government" the committee said, "with respect to -decisions of the General Assembly of the United Nations and of its legally constituted organs is difficult to reconcile with the desire the Albanian Govern ment to become a member of the United Nations, reiterated as re cently as April 1948 to the Security Council."
