Four committee Republicans
signed a minority report accom-

directly referred to the Eden pro-

grave doubts" about the entire
patchwork" foreign aid program
which they termed a scattered
policy based on false premises
and hastily concocted mechan-

See Lack of Action.
The majority report said the
committee had approved the
Presidents program virtually
without change despite the be-
lief that some unnamed allies
"are not taking all Of the meas
ure which we believe necessary
to prevent Soviet aggression"
On Europe, the report said the
committee had given President
Eisenhower the necessary flexi-
bility" to make any "agonizing
reapprisal" of foreign policy that
might be required by the collapse
of the European defense COM
munity project.
The committee has approved
an amendment to cut off military
aid to France and Italy until
they ratify the EDO and its
plans for an international
European army. But the restric-

The direct letter to the White

the President how the situation
looked to the congressman.

Underlying our mutual secur-
ity effort" the IL committeeman
wrote, "haS been the assumption
that we are helping to build q
coalition of free nations that will
stand against Communist ag-
erosion and enslavement any

''Mr. Eden's statement, as re-
ported in the press, skaters that
assumption. He advocates that
the free world not only accept
Communist conqueStS and gains,
but in fact guarantee them. We
believe this is wholly unaccept-
able to the American people,"
Representative Vorys, Repub-

of the committee, said Friday
that the committee probably
would propose its own amend

foreign aid funds to support the
Eden proposal. Mr.. Vorys said
also that before the foreign aid

Mario Scelba won a vote of

Mr.. Scelba declared his gov

Mr.. Black also reported the
bank made 26 loans totaline
1924 million last year-a bigger
volume of business than in any
previous year. He said the bank
for the most part used funds
raised from private sources in

And Mr.. Black said nations
other than the United States
provided a great part of the
currencies loaned and bought
three -ffths of the bonds issued

bank relied mostly on the United
