House Group Rejects
Foreign Aid Gut Plan
By LEWIS GIXICK
WASHINGTON III -The House
Foreign Affairs Committee re
versed itself Friday and voted
down a proposal that might have
blocked U. S. aid to many foreign
aations.
But the committee came "very
close" to slashing about a billion
dollars out of President Eisen
hower's 14,900.000,000 . aid bill.
Then it decided to put off a final
" decision until next Tuesday.---.
Chairman Richard! (D-SC) an
nounced the committee actions
after the fourth straight day of
closed sessions on Eisenhower's
foreign aid request for the fiscal
year starting next July 1,
Temporarily, at least, Friday's
decisions favored tht administra
tion. It had been expected to fight
vtgoroasly- a- proposal sponsored
bv Rep. Edna F. Kelly (D NY)
Ind adopted by the committee
late Thursday. ,
' Kim rttc4
The Kelly proposal was to bar
U. S. aid to any country snipping
Strategic goods to the communist
bloc which the Unittd States itself
8oes not allow to be exported to
le Reds. L - -
', Many counriei, including Great
Britain, have been more lenient
than the United States in allowing
shipments to the Iron Curtain.
Richards said the committee re
Versed Thursday's decision and
toted to knock the Kelly axnend
tnent out of the bilL
changes written la ay the Senate
durinf a session Ustinf more than
Bin hours. The House versioa
was passed May J.
Sens. Aiken RVt and Ander
son D-NM expressed hope that
the House would accept the
changes and rash the legislatioa
to the White Hons for Eisenhow
er's signature.
Aiken, senior GOP member af
the Senate Agriculture Commit-
Forces Day, was cut from 114 B47
tnraic bomber to 45.
Pentaioa officials attributed the
cutback to fears by some high ci
vilian official that the proposed
demonstration of air-atomic power
might create an unfavorable world
reaction, especially la view 01 cur
rent emphasis ea disarmament ef
forts. -Protests
against the mass flight
had been made by private aircraft
owners and pilots, who cited ine
hazards of a low level flyover at
jet speeds, but Pentagon officials
said privately that the pressure
had come from such places as the
White House and Harold C SUa
sen's disarmament office.
Elaborate plana had beta made
by the Strategic Air Command to
assemble B47'a from widely separ
ated bass for tomorrow's demon
stration of "power for peace."
which is the Armed Forces Day
slogan.
The decision U cut down was
conveyed by Secretary of Defense
Wilson to Secretary of the Air
Force Donald A. Queries. Wilson
said it was determined after a
Drectice flight Wednesday that
"one wing of the B47's would pro
vide adequate repreaentauoa tor
that phase of the aerial demon
stration."
The Air Force still expect to go
through with a low level flyover by
one B32 heavy Jet bomber and a
number of supersonic fighters and
slower Jet fighter bombers.

Agriculture.
Was Qirk Relief
Members of both parties have
said they want to get tome relief
legislation ea the books as quickly
as possible.
If the bouse refuses to accept
the changes, another Senate-
House conference committee will
have to be appointed to iron out
the differences. But Senate lead
ers exhibited confidence the House
would ga along with them.
The Senate bill, like the House
measure, provides for a soil bank
plaa uder which farmers could
receive up to 11.300,000,000 a year
in government benefits for with
drawing land from the production
of crops already in. surplus.
No Advaae Payment
But neither branch of Congress
voted to give Eisenhower the au
thority he requested to make up
to SOD million dollars in advance
payments on the soil bsnk this
year? Without this authority, he
contended, farmers would not re
ceive any substantial soil bank
benefits until 1957, since this
year's growing season is to far
advanced.
Chairman Blender (D La) of
the Senate Agriculture Committee
called the President's pre payment
proposal "a political lollipop" and
led efforts to defeat it.

vacation "pay later" plan had
been extended to three non-vacationing
Greyhound racing d e g s
beaded' here from Australia.

Mid, offered to make the payment

bourne, Australia.
Crated up, the dogs went to
Sydney to board an airliner. The
crates weighed 300 pounds and the
air freight charge to the United
States came to $1,900. The crates
were rebuilt to reduce the, weight
but even then tht charges were
costly.
Gentry then turned to the "pay
later" plan. A Pan American
spokesman here said the Grey
hounds will be shipped on credit.
What if they turn out to be also-
rans at the racing track here?
Well, that's up to the credit peo
ple, the airline aaid.
The dogs are scheduled to leave
Australia next Monday, arriving
hero May 23.
