Declaring any weakening of foreign aid would "vastly in crease" the danger of war that would be paid for with "the lives of our youth," Eisenhower solemnly told budget-cutters: "The road to this disaster could easily be paved with the good intentions of those blindly striving to save the money that must be spent as the price of peace." The President's tougher-talking defense of his foreign aid program was carried to the na tion by major radio and TV net works. It followed his milder speech a week earlier- support ing his overall spending budget for the nxt fiscal year. There had been some criti cism of the Chief Executive for not taking a firmer stand in last week's speech and his follow-up news conference the next, day.

Sen. Styles Bridges (R-N.H.), chairman of the Senate GOP Policy Committee who has at tacked "global" spending, said he opposed "any effort to sabo tage or cripple foreign aid" but thought the President's program could be cut another S400 mil lion Others called for cuts up to $1 billion. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) sad the question of what constitutes a "minimum figure" can be de termined "only after a search ing scrutiny" of Eisenhower's proposals. Sen. Theodore Francis Green (D-R.L), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said "if they can cut one-half billion dollars just like that, per haps we'll start where they left off."

Natural Gas Gill Not Up for Consideration Washington (ID Chairman i Warren G. Magnuson said today ! his Senate Commerce Commit-! tee does not plan to consider the i controversial natural gas bill ! this year. t "We're going to let the House handle it," the Washington Dem ocrat said.' "If the House passes it, we'll probably take it up next j January." Magnuson said the Senate would not have time to consider 1 the bill this year. The subject, he said, usually involves three to four weeks of hearings, plus long debate on the Senate floor. Congress passed a bill last year to remove natural gas pro ducers from jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission. President Eisenhower favored the bill's objectives but vetoed it in the furor over lobbying. HURRY!
