' Washington, VP) The Eisen
hower administration asked
Congress Tuesday (or $5,828,
000,000 in new foreign aid as
a necessary defense for Amer
ica itself against "the Soviet
threat"
President Eisenhower made
the main plea in a special mes
sage to the lawmakers. The de
tailed presentation was made
by a parade of cabinet mem
- bers, backed by Gen. Omar
' Bradley, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, in testimony to
a joint session of the Senate
Foreign Relations and House
' JJoreign Affairs committees.
"The basic purpose of this
'. program is simply the long
term security of the United
States living in the shadow of
the Soviet threat," the presi
dential message said. '
Measure of Peril
'. He noted that the bulk of
the money approximately
$5,250,000,000 is set up for
military weapons and direct
support "to the defense efforts
of our friends and allies." He
called that division "a measure
of peril in which free nations
continue to live." .
"The blunt, sober truth is
that we cannot afford to relax
our defenses until we have
seen clear, unmistakable evi
dence ' of genuinely peaceful
purpose on the part of the So
viet Union," Eisenhower said.
Secretary of State Dulles,
leading off before the congres
sional committees, made vir
tually the same argument in
different words, and told the
cnnm-ess members that if there
