WALLACE OPPOSES MARSHALL PLAN WITH ALTERNATIVE

To Spend The Money In Southern D.S.A. (Rec. 9.50) NEW YORK, Aug. 29 Mr Henry Wallace, had a fiery meeting in Durham, North Carolina, on Sunday night, at which eggs were thrown, and fire crackers were exploded, and at which half of the aud-l fence jeered, while the other half cheered. In his address, Mr Wallace proposed a Marshall Plan for the Southern States of the United States. Mr Wallace is the. Progressive Party’s Presidential candidate. He managed, between heated interjections, to say: “I propose that the U.S. Government should advance one thousand million, dollars each year to industry and, agriculture in the Southern States, and that in addition the Federal Government grant aid for schools, hospitals, homes, health and social security. „ x . He added that people in the Southern States would get more benefit from such money than Europe was getting “from ten thousand million dollars of political hand-outs under the wasteful foreign programmes of the bipartisans.”
