In scorching attack on the

Senator Vandenberg, Republl-

the slash "guts the enterprise"

result in a veto" of the declared

He called the foreign aid program
"the greatest possible insurance
against the war we do not want.
The multi-billion-dollar cuts, he
told the Senate Appropriations
Committee, are "a dangerous and
improvident decision which would
throw our attitudes in doubt and
thus multiply the terrified con-

Two Conditions Outlined.
The conditions attached by Mr.

2. That the mine operators in

what the Michigan Senator said was
the first testimony he has ever pre-
sented to a committee on a major
policy bill
Specific Figure Not Mentioned.
Senator Vandenberg refused to
make a plea for the restoration OF
any specific figure in the Wrap-up
foreign aid bill. The bill provides
funds for the European Recovery
Program, the China Aid Program
military governments in both Eu-
rope and the Far East and for other
minor programs.
But he estimated the cuts voted
by the House last Friday on the
recommendation of its Appropria-
tions Committee at somewhere near
S2.OOO.OOO. 900. He said the House
move to spread the appropriation
over IS months instead OF II is
equivalent to horizontal cut OF
20 per cent.
"In one fell swoop this takes away
something like billion dollars with
out a scintilla of regard for all OF
the carefully screened figures upon
which all ECA European Co-opera-
ton Administration estimates were
made and upon which its program
must be built" he told the COM
mittee.

In slow, measured tones Senator
Vandenberg declared:
Il beg of you-for the sake of the
hopes by which free men live-that
YOU give ECA a fair chance. Its
mere creation already has paid heavy
dividends. I ask it for what I pro-
foundly believe to be the national
interest of our own United States. .
While Senator Vandenberg was
testifying. Chairman Taber of the
House Appropriations group got
out a statement saying he has
received over a thousand letters and
messages about the House cuts and
they run 2-1 in favor of them.
Il will fight to the end to retain
this reduction in the bill and resist
all the special pressureS which are
being mustered to make a treacher-
Gus raid on the American taxpayer, y
Mr.. Taber added.
Mr.. Taber also said the aid bill
"has become a test as to whether
the American people will support

stitutional government or whether
they want billions of dollars of tax
money appropriated by hearsay and
emotion"
