A $2.63s.74l.75o foreign aid
money bill headed into a cross.
fire from budget-cutters and
budget-boosters today in the
House.
Already trimmed $627, 300 .00C
below President Eisenhower
requests by the Appropriation
Committee, the bill would
finance for the current fiscal
year the program of military and
economic aid to non-C Communist
nations.
1t would supplement an es-
timated $8.717.10O.Ooo in unex-
pected balances from previous
appropriations.
Some members don't think the
Appropriations Committee hack
e. the bill deeply enough. while
others contend it has been cut
too deeply.
The budget-cutters went
into the fray without the serv-
ices of their usual leader. Rep
Iresentative John Taber of New
York.
Hits Any New Cuts
Mr.. Taber, senior Republican
on the Appropriations Commit.
tee, lined up on the other side
and told newsmen he didn't be.
lieve additional big cuts would
be justified.
II think we cut it enough
in committee" he said. II
shouldn't be cut much more.
His attitude gave addet
strength to the bills hackers
led by Representative Passman
Democrat, of Louisiana. whit
predicted there would be nj
major changes when the bill
leaves the House for the Senate
perhaps late today.
"I think we can hold it righ
where it is," said Mr.. Passman
who headed a subcommittee
that drafted the bill.
Mr.. PaSsman conceded thai
advocates of further cuts nigh
point to the huge unexpendet
balance in the aid program func
to justify their claims that les
new cash is needed.
The Appropriations COMMITTEES
itself criticized the program
administrators on grounds O.
inability to agree on how mucf
remained unobligated when th'
fiscal year ended June 80. Esti'
mates ranged from 500 millior
to 1892 million.
The committee also com.
planned that too much money
was hastily obligated" during
June in an apparent attempt tt
keep the funds available for use
in the new year. Mr.. Passmar
said almost 81 billion was obli.
gated in June despite an agree.

gers that $420 million Of un.

The Senate Appropriation
Committee is expected this weel
to approve - conditionally-th.
administration request for S..
million for transmission line.
to hook the projected Dixon.
Yates power plant into the Ten.
nessee Valley Authority system
to serve Memphis consumers.
This word came yesterday
from a member of the commit
tee. The transmission line fund
is in the public works bill which
the House approved 10 days age
over the protests OF iva sup
porters.
The Senator, who declined to
be quoted by name. said that
the committee would take cog
nizance of the decision by the
city of Memphis to have moth
ing to do with the Dixon-Yates
deal, and to build its own power
plant. But he added that in his
opinion, nothing would be done
to block the Dixon-Yates con-
tract until the Memphis people
had translated words into deeds
and got their plant under way.
"We're not going to cut of
our own hind leg in this thing"
he chuckled.
Three Years Away
The Dixon-Yates plant has
Just been started at West Mem
phis, Ark, across the Mississippi
from Memphis. Tenn. The trans
mission lines to carry the power
between these two points. the
Senator pointed out, will not be
needed for three years. Thus. he
said. it will be a simple matter
to appropriate the money with
the provision that 1t is not to be
spent II the hookup becomes un-
necessary.
The Senator said he looked
for q closer vote In the Public
Works subcommittee of the Ap-
propriations Committee, which is
handling the transmission line
item, than In the committee it
self.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said yesterday he
fully expected that the admins
tration will make a fight to have
the appropriation retained in the
bill.
Whether Memphis builds its
own power plant or not. this
Dixon-Yates power will be
needed in that area eventually"
Senator Knowland said. "The
Atomic Energy Commission may
take all of the electric power, or
a great part. which IVA pro-
duces. It would be foolish not
to have ready the means to OBJ
tain power from the Dixon
Yates plant"
Dixon-Yates foes, spearhead-
ed by Senator Gore, Democrat.
Tennessee. nevertheless are re-
newing their fight to kill the
item before it gets out of COM
mittee on the ground that the
lines won't be needed.

Wheat Controls
Losing in Early
Vote Returns
By the Associated Press

Returns from 20 of the SO
States in which farmers voted
in today's referendum showed
Federal marketing controls for
the 1856 wheat crop to be run
ming slightly below the required
margin.
The vote in these States was
80, ,919 for marketing quotas and
,737 against. .
This was a favorable majority
of 66.5 per cent. Quotas must be
approved by at least 66.7 per
cent of the growers voting to be-
come operative.
Officials See Eventual o. X.
But Agriculture Department Of
ficials said the returns indicated
that the quota proposal would
probably be victorious when all
returns were in. The vote in the
20 States was running about 4
per cent higher in favor Of
quotas than in similar referen-
dunn q year ago in which quotas
won by a 1873 per cent majority.
Yet to be heard from were
such major wheat States as
North and South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Montana and Texas which
gave top-heavy margins q year
ago.
In Maryland, 543 farmers in
I23 counties voted for controls
and 400 against.
Favored In Montgomery
In nearby Montgomery County,
II votes were cast for and 27
against. Only eight votes were
|cast-all against the wheat quota
in Prince Georges County.
where tobacco is the chief crop.
Returns from all but two Vir-
+ginia counties showed 696 votes
for and 246 against. The totals
represented a 1873 per cent ma
jority in favor of controls in the
State.
The vote was running close to-
that cast in a similar referendum
a year ago in which the Nations
farmers voted 1873 per cent In
favor Of controls for this years
crop.
In West Virginia. the vote
was 78 to A against the program.
Farmers voted specifically on
the question of whether to ac-
cept marketing quotas, designed
to limit sales of the grain to the
amount grown on roughly 55l
million acres. This would bel
about 80 million short of the
postwar peaks. Under similar
controls approved for this year
the same number Of acres were
allotted growers.
Unless Congress should change
the law. the voting will determine
whether the Government support
rate for the 1866 crop will av-
erage $l.81 or $1.19 a bushel ma
tionally. This years average is
$2.06.

NA-Dixon-Yotes Link
Seen Gaining Approval

Preliminary action is expected
/ tomorrow afternoon when one
group from the subcommittee
which has been holding hearings
on funds for iva, votes on it
The full subcommittee, headed
by Senator Ellender. Democrat
Louisiana, expects to complete
work on the measure about
Wednesday. Then it will go to
the Appropriations Committee,
headed by Senator Hayden, Dem
ocrat, of Arizona, as the last step
before floor action.
In the House vote for the
Dixon-Y hook-up ten days
ago, Democratic lines crumbled,
bringing defeat of a plan to ex-
Ipand the iva system as an al
ternative to the Eisenhower pro-
gram.
The Dixon Yates syndicate,
operating as the Mississippi VAL
ley Generating Co.. has been
given the go-ahead on a SLOT
million steam plant at West
Memphis to furnish power to
the Memphis area as replace
ment for iva power being used
by Atomic Energy Commission
installations.
President Eisenhower got be-
hind the Dixon-Yates project
more than a year ago when he
declined to approve further ex-
pansion of the iva and directed
that the Atomic Energy Com
mission contract with the Dixon
Yates group. This arrangement
for the first time would permit
private power interests to cut
into iva territory. Under this
plan, the transmission lines from
West Memphis would cut into
the iva system in the middle
Of the Mississippi.
Memphis Reaction Quick
The defeat in the House
brought quick action in Mem
phis which has fought the
Dixon Yates intrusion from the
outset. and has been laying plans
for its own plant If a showdown
came.
Memphis already is part of
the iva layout, operating
through the Memphis Gas, Light
and Water Commission, and it
is this agency which will set up
the new plant.
The understanding here is
that existing legislation will per-
nit the commission to float It's
own bonds for an expenditure
approximating 500 million, and
supporters say its financial
structure is so sound that no
difficulty will be encountered in
the financing.
With power needs in the area
continually on the increase, !,
hackers of the municipal project
are hopeful of being able to get
some of the iva business in the
area around Memphis. They
hope, too, on the basis of volume
sales. to keep rates in line with
those of the IVA, which are
about so per cent under the
national level.
