Foreign Aid Bill
Approved by House

Than Is Requested
Washington U.R) The House
today approved a heavily slash
ed $3,800,000,000 foreign aid
bill to bolster 54 U.S. allies in
the world struggle against Com
munism. ,
The roll call vote was 273 to
122.
The measure now goes to the
Senate, where the administra
tion will try to get more money,
The bill was S600.000.000 less
than President Eisenhower told
Congressional leaders was abso
lutely necessary for the safety
of the free world. In all, the
House slashed $1,100,000,000
from the $4,900,000,000 program
Mr. Eisenhower originally re
quested. Authorises Program
The bill approved merely au
thorizes the program. Appropri
ations must still be approved to
carry out the program, and these
faced still further cuts in the
House.
The House denied Mr. Eisen
hower a special request he made
for authority to make long term
economic commitments to
friendly nations at the-rate of
$100,000,000 a year for 10 years.
Instead, the House voted to give
the President authority to real
locate the money in the program
wherever he believes t is most
needed.
The House also adopted a his
toric declaration, as part of the
bill, that the Congress would
continue to provide economic
and military help to free nations
so long as Russia threatened
their safety and independence.
The bill as approved carries
$2,000,000,000 in military aid
and $1,800,000,000 in economic
aid. Mr. Eisenhower asked for
$3,000,000,000 in military aid
and $1,900,000,000 in economic
aid.
Dike Watched As
Floodwaters Fall
Portland (U.R) A soggy
dike which protects Portland
Meadows race track and several
hundred acres of the old Van
port area was the focal point of
attention today as Columbia riv
er floodwaters continued to fall.
A boil which has been eating
away at the levee since May 29
grew larger yesterday. Army
engineers said the boil was ring
ed with sandbags seven feet high
and that two big pumps capable
of handling 20,000 gallons of
water a minute were being in
stalled.
Alarm was expressed yester
day when a strong flow of silty
water began to pour out of the
levee. Early today clear water
was running at the boil, a hope
ful sign, engineers said.
The Columbia dropped .3 of a
foot at Vancouver, Wash., in the
24 hours ending at 8:30 a.m. to
day, the biggest fall in weeks.
Its stage today was 25.6 feet,
more than a foot below the crest
of a week ago but still 10.6 feet
over flood stage. River Forecas
ter Elmer Fisher said he expect
ed the stream to continue drop
ping but to slow down the rate
of fall in a couple of days.

Court Decision to
Have Far Reaching
Effect on Program
Washington (U.R) The Su
preme Court ruled 8 to 3 today
that a federal employee can be
fired as a security risk only if
he holds a "sensitive" position.
The decision will have a far
reaching effect on the adminis
tration's security program which
now applies to employees in non
sensitive jobs, such as clerks, as
well as those who have access to
government secrets.
The decision, written by Jus
tice John M. Harlan, was a vic
tory for Kendrick.M. Cole, for
mer New York food and drug
inspector who was fired in 1954
as a securrtyrTsk by former Wel
fare Secretary Oveta Culp Hob
by. He now presumably gets his
DamBging informalion
The case did not involve
Cole's right to confront the per
sons who supplied damaging in
formation about him.
Dissenters were Justices Tom
C. Clark, Stanley F. Reed and
Sherman Minton.
Cole was notified in 1954 that
he was being fired because of
his close association with indi
viduals "reliably reported to be
Communists" and because of his
contacts with Nature Friends of
America, an organization on the
attorney general's subversive
list.
Cole at first refused to reply
to the charges on grounds they
concerned his "private informal
social life." Later he asked twice
to have the hearing record re
opened, but Mrs. Hobby refused.

$4,328,000 Set
Aside for Crater
Lake in Proposal
Neuberger Explains
'Mission 66' Program
A total of $4,328,000 would be
spent at Crater Lake National
park under the 10-year "Mission
66" program, it was announced
today by Sen. Richard L. Neu
berger (D-Ore.).
Senator Neuberger said he ob
tained the figures from Conrad
L. Wirth of the National Park
service. The funds are contained
in the long-range national park
improvement plan now being
considered by Congress, and
were listed for members of the
Senate interior committee, of
which Senator Neuberger is a
member.
The funds contemplated for
the program are all for con
struction and improvement of
facilities, and are in addition to
routine operating and mainten
ance appropriations.
Senator Neuberger said he be
lieves the planned expenditures
"will do a great deal to help
bring Crater Lake National park
up to the recreational standards
essential for its expanding tour
ist trade.
The $4,328,000 total includes
$1,493,000 for buildings, utilities
and facilities, and $2,835,000 for
roads and trails. Initial expendi
tures under the program, already
proposed, include road and trail
improvement, and new all
weather buildings for park per
sonnel at park headquarters.
Order for Lower
Rates Is Upheld
Washington (U.R) The Su
preme Court today upheld a gov
ernment order for lower rail
road freight rates on certain
commodities moving out of the
Pacific Norhtwest through Og
den, Utah, to eastern markets.
The 7 to 2 decision, delivered
by Justice Hugo L. Black, said
the court is unable to say that
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission did not "strike a fair
balance in finding that the evi
dence required the establishment
of these through routes and joint
rates."
The complex case began in
1949 when the Denver . & Rio
Grande Western Railroad sought
an Interstate Commerce Com
mission order for "joint rates'
with the Union Pacific via
Ogden and Salt Lake City.
This is a long-haul rate agree
ment between two or more car
ners, each of which receives a
designated portion of the reve
nue. But the total rate paid by
the shipper is less than the sum
of all the local rates.
After extensive hearings, the
ICC ordered joint rates on live
stock, fresh fruits and veget
ables, dried beans, frozen poul
try, frozen foods, butter and
eggs, in carloads, moving out of
the Pacific Northwest; and on
granite and marble monuments,
in carloads, moving into the ter
ritory from Vermont and Geor
gia. Harriman Says Illness

40 Feet; Makes
Executive Decision
Eisenhower Rejects
Russian Invitation
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower walked 40 feet in his
hospital room today and made
his first major executive deci
sion since he underwent emer
gency surgery.
The decision was to reject a
tentative Russian invitation for
all four of the American mili
tary chiefs of staff to visit the
Soviet Union this month. Gen.
Nathan F. Twining, air chief of
staff, will observe a Soviet air
show June 24.
Mr. Eisenhower instructed
Presidential Assistant Sherman
Adams in a 10-minute bedside
business conference this morn
ing, to turn down the Soviet in
vitation for the other three
chiefs to accompany Twining
But he left the door open for a
possible later visit by the U.S.
military chiefs.
Four Decisions
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty disclosed the
action, the most important of
four official decisions which the
President made during his brief
talk with Adams. Hagerty cited
them to show that the President
"has resumed a light schedule
of duties."
He said Mr. Eisenhower, who
walked 30 feet Sunday with two
attendants supporting hit el
bows, walked 40 feet today. Dr,
Isidor Ravdin, a member of the
operating team who performed
the operation Saturday morning.
supported "just slishtly."
After the walk, Hagerty said,
Adams arrived with other White
House staff members. They con
ferred in the lounge of the pres
idential suite with Dr. Ravdin,
Maj. Gen. Leonard D. Heaton,
who performed the actual surg-
eary, and Maj. Gen. Howard
McC. Snyder the President's per
sonal physician.
Adams, the staff and the doc
tors discussed what sort of pro
gram the President should fol
low. Then Adams entered the
bedroom and was alone with
Mr. Eisenhower for about 10
minutes.
Other Action
Hagerty said the following de
cisions were reached "as a result
of the governor's (Adams) dis
cussion with the President":
2. To hold the regular weekly
national Security Council meet
ing at the White House Thurs
day with Vice President Richard
M. Nixon presiding. Nixon has
presided on several occasions in
the I past.
2. To hold the Conference on
Fitness of American Youth at
Annapolis, Md., as scheduled
June 18-19, but to cancel Mr.
Eisenhower's address to the
meeting. Nixon will preside, as
he had been scheduled to do.
3. To hold a luncheon Wednes
day for West German Chancel
lor rvonraa Aaenauer ax ciair
House, the government's guest
house. Nixon will be host and
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles will attend. Hagerty said
there has been no decision, and
probably will not be for another
day or so, on whether Adenauer
will pay a visit to Mr. Eisen
hower at the hospital. Adenauer
will arrive in Washington to
