'Point-Four' Program
Reported Crippled by
Appropriation Cut
BY the Assoeioted Press

President Truman's point four"
program for helping backward
areas of the world is reported to
have been dealt a severe if not
Gripping blow by the Senate APP
preparations Committee.
According to a report circulated
late yesterday. the committee
voted only $40 million for the
work and wrote in rigid restric-
tions on the use of that money.
President Truman, who proposed
the program in his inaugural ad-
dress last year, had asked for $45
million. Congress reduced this to
a maximum of $35 million in au-
thorizing the program in the gen.
eral foreign economic aid bill.
Now, in getting down to providing
the actual money. the Appropri-
ations Committee has whacked
this to less than one third.
One reported restriction on
point four funds would forbid
using them to duplicate any work
now being carried on by the State
Department or through United
Nations agencies.
With the decision on point four,
the committee completed action,
except for a formal report, on
the entire foreign aid appropria-
tions measure which also carries
funds for the third year of the
European Recovery Program. b..
The committee has voted ST.
727. 100000 for the Marshall Plan
spending-a cut of $3.50 million
below the figure authorized by
Congress.
The reported decision to cut
the point four funds was de-
scribed by Secretary of State
AcheSon as poor economy.
He said at a news conference
he would be greatly disappointed
by such cut because it would
greatly. curtail what the admin
istration wanted to do in helping
develop backward areas.

In an article written in The

Mr.. Strunk said that changes in

have rendered the old "cycle

Predictions of the future can
only be based upon an analysis
