Attack Forces Quarter BiUiof Cut By Mortjln Of Two Votes WASHINGTON, March 29 -(.TV-Republicans clamoring for deep slashes in government spending to day pressed an advantage won in a $250,000,000 cut in the 1951 foreign economic aid program. Republican economy strength won its first real test yesterday when the House tentatively lopped a quarter billion dollars from Eu ropean recovery funds. The vote was 165 to 163. This reduced the administration's Marshall plan program for western Europe from $2,950,000,000 to $2, 700,000.000 in new authorizations. Still to come under fire were aid to Korea and China, and requests for funds to launch President Tru man's "point .four" program of technical assistance to underde veloped areas of the world. All are parts of the administra tion's $3,372,450.000 less $250,000. 000, now program of all foreign economic aid during the 12 months starting July 1. The foreign aid cut was only half of what the GOP economy drive was shooting for. Before whacking $250,000,000 of Europe's Marshall plan aid, the House administered a 152-to-137 de feat to a GOP-backed drive to re duce it by $500,000,000. As the House continued with the foreign aid bill today, Republican strategists still were far from agreement on the larger question of how to make substantial cuts in a pending $29,000,000,000 domestic ap propriations bill. With House action on foreign aid unlikely before tomorrow, leadera said they doubt if the big money bill can be cleared before the House starts its planned Easter recess a week away, March 30. Republicans already ar threat ening a filibuster of sorts if the Democrats try to fore th bill to vote before Easter.

(NEA Telephoto.l Gunman Thrice Visits Teller To Rob Seattle Bank SEATTLE, March 29 UP) A strong-nerved gunmen made three trips to a bank teller's win dow late yesterday before calmly walking out clutching a paper bag stuffed with $22,618. . Police efforts to head him off with road blocks at bridges a nit ferry landings, and thorough searches of city buses in the vicinity were unsuccessful. The scene of the holdup was the West Seattle National b.nk. When the lone bandit first en tered the bank, he approached the window of teller Jack Frost. The employe, busy counting pennies and thinking the man a customer, told him to come back later. Some 10 minutea later he did, clicked the aafety of a German Luger pistol and told Frost: "You know what I want." Frost walked to the front of the bank where cashier Thomas C. Erhart waa standing. Both men then were ordered back to the cage, the bandit talking so quietly that other employes were unaware of what was happening. After Frost handed over the money in his cage, the gunman turned to teller Paul B. Allen in the next cage, asking for more. Allen said he had very little mon ey there and closed the drawer. Thus rebuffed, the bandit turned and walked quickly from the bank and disappeared into a parking lot a short distance down the street He wss gone by the time police, summoned by telephone, arrived. The lone clue waa a ragged leather holster found in a service station restroom across the street. PINED FOR OVIRLOAD Norman Dee Henigan, arrested by Sheriff O. T.
