the administration for allocating

Mr.. Hartman:

Jurisdictional Battle.
Meanwhile, the dispute over
jurisdiction between the Foreign

manned unsettled.
The Armed Services Committee
has taken the position that unless

Chairman Connally invited the
armed services group to attend
the open hearings. but not as vot-
ing members. The members of
the Armed Services Committee re-
manned away from today's hear
ings, and apparently there are no
steps under way to settle the feud
without having the bill travel
through two committees.
While Chairman Connally and
Senator Wiley. Republican, sof
Wisconsin, were suggesting to Mr..
Hartman today that Congress
must weigh carefully how much it
can. spend for foreign aid. Senator
Mcmahon took the lead in defend
ing the program.
