"Maybe We'd Better Start With Our Friends At Home" V- MEDFORD, OREGON, Backers of Foreign Aid Fight Against Cutbacks Foreign Aid Bill 'Gigantic Hoax' Morse Declares Oregon Democrat Sees 'Senseless Waste' Washington W Sen. Wayne L. Morse assailed Presi dent Eisenhower's scaled-down foreign aid bill today as a "gigantic hoax" which would perpetuate the "senseless waste of millions of dollars." The Oregon Democrat told the Senate that cuts made by the foreign relations committee in reducing aid spending authority to 53,637.000,000 were only "a spit in the ocean of foreign aid waste." Others Also Critical Sens. Russell B. Long (D-La.) and Herman E. Talmage (D-Ga.) also criticized the measure. Long said in some instances "a single unwise and inexcusable bureau cratic decision in Washington is costing this nation as much as $100 million each year." But Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R-N.J.), second-ranking GOP member of the foreign relations group, defended the program as "an integral part of foreign policy and an extension of our responsibilities as the foremost free nation in the world." Knowland Urges Approval Both Republican leader Wil liam F. Knowland (Calif.) and Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) have urged the senate to approve the program without further cuts. The pending bill merely authorizes the size of the pro gram for fiscal 1958. A more determined effort to trim it may be made when the appropria tion measure providing the actual cash comes before the Senate.

Price 10c Tribune United Press Full Leased Wi No. 73 Senate Leaders Concede Tests Might Be Close Girard Case May Delay Final Action Washington 'IT The Sen ate rejected 49-40 the first attempt to cut President Eis enhower's S3. 637.000. 000 for eign aid bill for the coming year. Washington opt Senate foreign aid backers marshaled their forces today against a de termined effort to make at least some cuts in President Eisen hower's aid program. Leaders were quietly confident they could muster enough votes to beat down major cuts. But they conceded privately some of the tests might be close. A new hazard to the aid pro gram arose, meanwhile, in the House. Chairman Thomas S. Gordon (D-Ill.) said the House Foreign Affairs Committee will delay final action on aid if nec essary in order to investigate the case of GI William S. Girard. The Senate resumed debate on the $3,637,000,000 aid measure with leaders hoping for final action tonight. The first major showdown shaprd up over an amendment by Sen. Russell B. Long (D-La.) to lop S300 million from the Sl, 800.000.000 approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee for direct military help. Long, one of the bill's leading critics, planned to follow up with a proposal for a $90 million slash in the S800 million rec ommended for "defense sup port" or indirect military aid. Several other proposed amend ments also were in the works. The Senate agreed to limit de bate and begin voting on the measure today after a day and a half of agruments. Although approval of the measure without major changes appeared likely, there were strong hints it faces a trimming when actual appro priations are considered later. The present bill only "authoriz es" the program.

Valerian Zorin, head of the Soviet disarmament delegation, placed the Russian proposal be fore the five-power United Na tions disarmament subcommit tee conference which resumed after a Whitsunday break to day. The Soviet proposal said an international commission should observe how the agreement was being carried out and shou)g report on its findings to the U.N. Security Council and the U.N. General Assembly. Russia also proposed that con trol posts, suitably equipped with scientific apparatus, be set up in the United States, Russia, Britain "and the Pacific area." These control posts would be set up for the observation of the projected agreement on the ending of nuclear tests. Zorin tossed Russia's new plan into the disarmament con ference after criticizing the slowness of Western consulta tions on the West's latest dis armament proposals. Follows Hint The plan followed a hint Thursday from Soviet Commu nist Party Chief Nikita S. Khrushchev at a press confer ence in Helsinki that Russia would be prepared to agree to the establishment of control posts in the Soviet Union and in the West to observe imple mentation of the ban on tests. First reaction from Western delegations to Zorin's plans pointed up its failure to include any commitment to halt pro duction of fissionable materials for military purposes.
