IK TWO MEDTORD (OREGON MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday May 28, 19S7 Lyndon Johnson Says Ike Not To Get Blank Check Washington OP) Senate Dem ocratic Leader Lyndon B. John son predicted Saturday that con gress will not grant President Eisenhower any "long term blank checks" to put foreign ec onomic aid on a permanent bas is through a revolving loan fund. Nor, Johnson told reporters, "do I think "it is necessary for any legitimate purpose." The Texan spoke out as sev eral other senators voiced crit ical doubts about the proposed long-range loan fund, which Ei senhower asked congress to start with $500,000,000 for the coming fiscal year. Critics con tend It would remove from con gress its authority over making annual appropriations. Mutt Retain ControJ "The basic strength of con gress lies in retaining control over the spending of the people's money" Johnson said. "That con trol would be meaningless if we voluntarily surrendered our right to make an annual review and an annual determination." Johnson said the president "hag gone a long way to meet congressional views on the for eign aid program and I am con fident congress will go a long way to meet him." However, he said "that does not include surrender of the right and the duty to make an nual appropriations." Johnson said he was confident the senate foreign relations com mittee now considering the pres ident's $3,865,000,000 aid request will find "ways and means to meet all legitimate needs with out sacrificing basic principles." Senate Republican leader Wil liam F. Knowland (Calif.) voiced less concern over the loan fund but said he thought congress would lop another $500,000,000 off the president's aid figure.
