Senate Eliminates
Foreign Aid Section
Favored BY President
BY The Associated Press

The Senate OVERRIDE the adj
ministration today to eliminate
from the foreign aid bill q sec
ton authorizing the President to
use funds to stimulate increased
production of strategic materials
in other countries.
By a roll-call vote of 40 to IS,
the Senate adopted an amend
ment by Senator Malone. Re-
publican, of Nevada which elimi-
mated the section, after Majority
Leader Knowland said his under
standing was that the Eisen-
hover administration was OPP
posed to the amendment.
Senator Douglas, Democrat. of
Illinois insisted on pinning Sem
ator Knowland down on that
point before the vote.
Senator Douglas said he and
some OF his colleagues had found
themselves in the embarrassing
position at times Of rescuing
what they thought were Admin
istration babies" only to have
the Administration deny it after
I'VE brought the babies safely
to shore"
Give-away, Says Long.
Before the vote, Senator Long,
Democrat, of Louisiana. called
the $3.1 billion foreign aid pro-
gram lust about the loosest
give-aWay ever drawn"
Senator Long said he would
demand a roll call vote on q
move to slash the program by
one-third. He claimed he would
have more than 80 votes on his
side, but administration leaders
were confident he would be de-
feated and the bill would pass.
Senator Knowland said as the
foreign aid debate resumed this
morning that he planned to dis
pose of the aid bill before the
Senate turns to the Flanders
resolution for the censure of
Senator Mccarthy. Action on the
bill was expected to come some
time this afternoon.
After the bill is passed and
then compromised with the
House, the Senate still has to

the Mccarthy issue to the con-
science of individual senator's.
Just when the vote would
come remained uncertain. 1t
appeared likely that the highly
controversial issue of so-called
"McCarthyism" would be de-
bated for two and perhaps three
days. Thus a vote might not
be in prospect until late to-
morrow or possibly Monday
after a weekend recess.
Mccarthy Jibes. Smith.
Senator Mccarthy himself re-
manned silent about Senator
Flanders proposal, except to say
he probably won't be on hand TO
hear the Vermonter's speech.
But he took a dig at Senator
Smith for his proposal.
Senator Mccarthy said:
II think I will offer either an
amendment to the Flanders res
olution or a separate resolution
providing that in view of the
fact there is a difference of opin-
ion as to whether Smith is a bril-
liant, average or mediocre Sen
ator I would like to have the
Senate investigate that and re-
port backsin 1870 or 1890"
interviewed over the CHS tele-
vision network this morning be-
fore the days Senate session be-
gan, Senator Flanders said he
felt his prospects of success are
better than good"
He said they would be par
ticularly good il his Republican
colleagues supported him.
Asked If he thought it would
be bad politics for Senators to
vote for censure of Senator Nc
Carthy, Senator Flanders replied
no and added:
I'm very, much convinced
many of us have lost touch with
the coming generation and the
independents who put President
Eisenhower in Office"
Defends His Background.
In response to another query
as to whether there was any
thing derogatory in his own
background which might be
brought out against him, the
Senator said there Is nothing
in my past history that I fear"
He went on to say, without
elaboration, that he had been

bombarded with kilograms from
a Mccarthy supporter high in
the newspaper world" demand
ing answers to a number Of
questions.
Senator Flanders said he
would take no cognizance Of
them until after the censure ac-
ton is finished.
Asked If he had "any new ma
terial" which he planned to use,
the Senator asserted Il have no
new material and ! need no new
material"
Outcome Uncertain.
Even more uncertain than the
censure resolutions fate was the
outcome Of the Vermont Re-
publican's move designed to
strip Senator Mccarthy OF
personal prestige if not, as
he intended originally. his
position as chairman of an
influential wing of the Senate,
the Senate Investigating SUBJ
committee.
AS the matter stood as the
Mccarthy issue came to the
Senate floor for it's first full
dress debate, the voting was left
up to the conscience of individu-
al Senators and some Senators
reluctant to commit themselves
in advance-were appearing to
be on a long and silent search
to see what their conscience die
tated. ~
Not a Party Issue.
The Democratic Policy Com
mittee, headed by Senator
Lyndon B. johnson of Texas
removed the ! Mccarthy issue
from the, realm of partisan con-
siderations. II
Its decision was reached after
more than three hours Of DELHI
Grafton during which a number
of Senators known to favor the
Flanders resolution appeared be-
fore the committee
Some of them, Senator john
son said, favored a party stand
on the issue involving Senator
Mccarthy, who has described
the Democrats as "the party OF
treason"
Others opposing Senator Nc
Carthy also were against making
it party issue.
One of these was Senator Full
bright of Arkansas, one of the
Senators who went before the
Policy Committee meeting. He
said he was opposed to making
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-07-30

the Mccarthy situation q party
issue and added:
st Is the honor Of the Senate
that is involved here"
BY extension. Senator Full
bright agreed. that involved
Senators individually and not
as members of either the Repub-
lican or Democratic Party.
Others Appear.
Other Democrats who appear
ed before the Policy Committee
were Senators Lehman of New
York, Monroney of Oklahoma
Jackson of Washington. and
Symington of Missouri. Senator
johnson refused to name those
who favored making the issue
a. matter OF party policy.
At the conclusion of the meet
ing. Senator johnson issued this
statement:
"At a meeting of the Senate
Democratic Policy Committee
held at the request Of several
members, Senator Flanders res
olution was discussed. In addi-
ton to members of the commit
tee. Senators Fulbright. Leh-
man, Monroney. Jackson and
Symington were present.
"It was the unanimous sense
of the committee that the issue
raised is a matter of conscience
upon which each individual
Senator should vote his convic-
|, ton without regard to party
affiliations"
Senator johnson declined to
reveal what his own position
would be, but said he would
when the Flanders resolution
is being considered.
He predicted the Democrats
would take a full part in the
debate on the issue and the
discussion would continue lover
a few days"
Outcome Uncertain.
AS to the outcome Of the cen
surfing move. opinions varied.
One Senator who declined to
permit his name to be used said
the Flanders motion would re-
ceive Is to 20 votes. If Senator
| cClellan Of Arkansas, ranking
Democratic member Of Senator
McCarthy's investigating COM
mittee, gets back In time and
throws his support behind the
Flanders resolution, the same
Democratic Senator said. per-
haps it would mean an additional
10 votes.
Senator Mcclellan remained in
Little Rock, Ark, as the debate
got under way to await an Of
fetal certification Of his States
primary vote which apparently
meant his reelection. He got q
majority of the vote over three
other candidates. although the
margin appeared to be less than
5000.

ready passed by the House and

tons Committee.
8 Sees Cut Justified.
Senator Long said the end of
the Indo-C China fighting, to which
this Nation was contributing
around q billion dollars yearly,
justifies a cut in foreign aid this
year.
when the fighting stopped
we had some $500 million worth
of military equipment in the
pipeline for Indo-C China and an
other $500 million earmarked
for there" he said.
Actually. we need not provide
a single dollar this year. There
are more than SO billion of past
giveaways unspent, of which
nearly SO billion is not even OBJ
ligated."
Senator Mansfield, Democrat,
of Montana told the Senate yes
terday that millions of dollars
of United States equipment fell
into Communist hands recently
in Indo- China. More, he said.
was destroyed to avoid a similar
fate.
Dulles Against Reduction.
Chairman Wiley of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
read yesterday a letter from
Secretary of State Dulles saying
the o-China armistice does.
not justify any reduction in the.
foreign aid budget.
Secretary Dulles said the
Armistice increases the need
to have available funds" to push
anti Communist defenses for
this area,

sized again solid Senate OPPOSE
ton to giving Red China a seat

A 1873 vote defeated an effort
by Senator Capehart. Republi-
can, of Indiana. to require that
half the military aid In the
bill. or $3.50 million, be in the
form of loans rather than
grants. The bill now requires
loans on $3.50 million of such aid.

Pass Overload Test

HUNGRY HORSE-Generators
at Hungry Horse Dam passed a
lis per cent overload test without
showing any signs of stress or
strain, according to E. l.. Goch-

compared to their rated capacity
of 1880 kilowatts. Tests lasted
for seven hours, and Charles Sim
mons, Hungry Horse powerplant
supervisor, said that no overhead
ing or similar signs developed.
The Hungry Horse poWerplant IS
now operating at capacity with its
four generators producing 285,OOO
kiloWatts around the clock.
The full reservoir contained B.
468, 900 acre feet from July 9 until
Dec. 3. Drop now is about a half
foot a day from elevation 1850
feet above sea level. Wednesday

Sun Skips FIathead
VaIIeg These Days

While the Flathead valley itself
seldom saw the sun during the
past days, Montana just east of
the mountains was having blue sky
autumn weather.
Ranger Paul Webb, at East
Glacier Park Tuesday said the
temperature reached 48. 1t had
been AZ at Z am. There was two
inches of snow on the ground and
melting. At Two Medicine in the
mountains snow depth was foot.
The mild December saw 5 inches
of snow on the ground at Pole
bridge Tuesday; three inches at
West Glacier, and just patches in
Columbia Falls though it was try
ing to snow Wednesday.
Barometer has been unusually
high the past days. Observer Ray
Hall at Flathead county airport
commented that the result was
cold air in the bottoms of the val
leys with warmer air aloft. The
cold air in valley bottoms reached
the dew point with fog resulting.
The warm air aloft flowed across
the mountains to bring tempera-
lures up into the SOS on the prairie.
Hungry Horse, Martin City and
Coram saw blue sky much more
frequently than did Columbia Falls
Kalispell and Whitefish. Hall said
the reason was that the three COM
munities are slightly higher, off
the valley floor.

Railroad Changes
Still Just RUmor

WHITEFISH-H. M. Shaplelghi
Great Northern Division superin-
tendent at Whitefish, Wednesday
morning said that he had no in
formation on contemplated changes
in the railroad organization that
would affect Whitefish as divi-
sion point. Furthermore such in
formation is not available in St.
Paul.
However basis of the rumor ap-
pears to be the clerks union pre-
pairing a new roster. Instead of
working on division basis, rail-
road clerks it is reported are pre-
pairing Williston to Seattle ros-
ter. Men with the most seniority
are found over the system instead
of in their division.
This anticipates the Great Nor
thern's installation of a more me-
chanized accounting system using
more machines and less men.
The Northern Pacific several
years ago installed specialized
accounting machines.
When the Great Northern makes
this change, it is likely to result
in somewhat fewer clerks, and
small reduction in the force at
Whitefish. There is nothing to in
dicate that Whitefish will not con-
tinue as northwestern Montana's
railroad center.

n. n. Level Doesn'f
Affect Pot Lakes

HUNGRY HORSE - Continued
surveys show no correlation be-
tween depth of water in Hungry
Horse reservoir and in pothole
lakes of Flathead valley on the
other side of Columbia mountain
from the 34-mile long man-made
lake.
E. L. Gochnauer, Hungry Horse
Project superintendent, and Mar
Gus o. Hidden, acting office en-
gineer, found water level at Echo
lake Monday 5,003.6 feet above
sea level compared to 3,005 feet a
year ago. Hungry Horse elevation
meanwhile was higher, 1926 feet
above sea level a year ago, and
1858 feet this week. The reser-
voir had been full from July 8
to Dec. 8, and two-thirds full last
summer.
Bureau engineers have been
checking elevations of Echo lake,
Lake Blaine and the Sullivan pot
holes several times a year, and
have not found any indication OF
Hungry Horse reservoir being full
or low affecting their levels.

WEST Mild temper
atures and little snow is favoring
elk and not hunters. in the extend
ed open season along the Flathead
rivers Middle Fork from West
Glacier to Essex and the continen-
tai divide.
The season is open each Satur-
day and Sunday. First days, Dec.
4 and 5 saw an elk kill of %. The
next week. Dec. IL and IL was a
blank and Dec. 18 and 19 resulted
in eight killed near Nyack.
Reason is that mild weather con-
ditions are resulting in the ami
mails staying high on the Glacier
National Park side of the river.
Deep snow and cold would drive
them down to the river and out of
the park.
Purpose of the open season is
to help reduce Middle Fork elk
herds which during most of the
year Craze in Glacier. The park
range is considered adequate for
1000 to 2,400 elk. There is an es-
timated 5000 in the whole park.
