2 Fosting Monks
And 3 Nuns Faint

SEOUL, June IA (R.-Seven
Buddhist monks and three nuns
tainted and were hospitalized
today as their hunger strike
against married monks went into
its sixth day.
They are among the 200 un-
married monks and nuns who
have vowed to fast until the
government takes positive action
to rid the temples of all mar
ried monks or until we all die as
martyrs"
The celibates are fasting at
Chogesa Temple, an ancient
shrine in downtown Seoul which
they took by force some months
Iago.
The married monks still con-
troll around a thousand temples
and have announced they will
defy President Syngman Rhee's
order that they vacate by the
end OF this month. They say
the order violates freedom of
religion. They insist they are
upholding separation of church
and state.
Mr.. Rhee says the married
monks are pro-Japanese. The
unmarried monks say they are
too worldly.

Debate Delay
Sought in Italy

ROME. June IA P.-Italy's
Christian Democratic Party
sought today to delay a risky
showdown in the Chamber ot
Deputies on Premier Mario
Scelba's pro-Western coalition
government.
Debate on a joint Fascist
Monarchist motion of no conf
dence was scheduled to start this
afternoon. The Christian Dem
ocratS announced they would
ask, to have it postponed until
June %.
Communists and Socialists de-
clared they would oppose delay
The Fascist-Monarchist right
was expected to do the same
raising the possibility the gov
ernment leaders would lose their
bid for a reprieve unless the
minor parties of the center bloc
coalition backed up Mr.. Scelba,
The minority groups held a
last-minute meeting this morn
ing to decide their course.
Italy'S tough little Sicilian
Premier was facing the gravest
crisis of his l5-month-old gov
ernment.
His Social Democrat non-
Communist Socialist) allies were
undecided whether to walk out
on him. His own party debated
for three days and then passed
only a modified motion of sup

House Pushes Bill!
ION Upper CoIorudo
By the Associated Press

The House Reclamation sub
committee today approved a bill
to authorize construction of the
Upper Colorado River project at
an initial cost of $76O million.
The vote was Is to 6. Two
members voted present.
The controversial Echo Park
dam was eliminated from the
in its final form. The
bill. however, provides for a
presidential board of engineers
to make a further study of the
Echo Park project and alternate
dam sites.
The Upper Colorado project
already has been passed by the
Senate.
The Senate measure, however,
differs considerably from the
House committee version. It in
cludes Echo Park dam and
would authorize project units
having a total cost of more than
81 billion.

Senate leaders may decide to-
day how to get action at this
session on the administrators
bill to strengthen the Nations
military reserve forces.
The Senate Armed Services
Committee gave tentative ap-
|proval late yesterday to a four
year extension of the regular
draft and a two-year extension
lof the doctor-draft law, without
taking up the reserve plan.
But Chairman Russell said the
! action of the committee was put
on a tentative basis because OF
requests to include the reserve
program, and the draft bill was
held open another day to see If
Defense Department officials
want to be heard further on the
reserve issue.
Seek Pentagon Word
The committee expects to as
certain the wishes of the Penta-
gon today. but indications are
mounting that the draft bill
will be taken to the Senate
floor Immediately, leaving the
reserve program for separate
committee consideration.
Senator Russell said that if
a substantial number on his
committee want to take up the
reserve bill separately he will re-
fer it to a subcommittee for
hearings and get it out to the
floor.
/ Some Senators who favor early
action to strengthen the re-
serves are fearful that combining
1.-THE reserve plan with the draft
might endanger extension of the
draft law before it expires June
80.
| The big advantage in attaching
the reserve plan to the draft
bill would be to get the whole
issue of military manpower
Iquickly into conference with the
House, which passed the draft
bill. but Sidetracked the reserve
plan after it had been amended
to bar racial segregation in Ma
tional Guard units.
Bill Faces Hurdles
If the Senate passes a separate
reserve bill it would still have to
pass the House and face the
possibility of another civil rights
amendment. If attached to the
draft bill, however, the only
House action would be to send
the amended draft bill to joint
conference committee.
The House draft bill provided
that boys who join the National
Guard and later leave would be
liable to the draft only until
age 26, whereas they are liable
i now until IS. The Senate COM
mittee changed their liability to
age 80.

Hennings Sees Passage
Of Political Funds Bill

Senator Hennings, Democrat
of Missouri, was confident today
this session of Congress will ACT
on his bill placing more realistic
ceilings on campaign expendi-
lures and providing for more
rigid accounting of campaign
funds.
A Senate subcommittee ap-
proved the bill yesterday, 2 to l
But Senator Curtis, Republi-
can, of Nebraska, who cast the
dissenting vote, said he thinks
the bill goes too far in estab-
fishing Federal control over To-
cal political committees.
Senator Curtis expressed fea1
the bill might discourage good
citizens from engaging in pol
itics. He said he may offer
some amendments when the bill
| is considered by the entire Rules
Committee tomorrow morning.
Would Raise Ceiling
Highlights of the measure are:
l. It raises from So million to
about $12 million the ceiling on
the amount any national COM
mittee may spend in a year
This is done by allowing such
committees to spend at the rate
of 20 cents for each vote cast
in the last election.
/ 2. 1t allows Senate candidates
to spend $4,000, or at the rate
of 10 cents per vote cast in the
last Senate race, which means
that in a big State like New
York the ceiling could be $780,
600.
3. 1t allows House candidates
to spend $12,500, or 10 cents fol
each vote cast in the members
district in the last election
Since Senators run Statewide
the Senate ceiling in the big
States would be much higher
than in any congressional dis
trict.

to organize and raise money

A $31.8 billion military budget
providing for a speedup in pro-
duction of heavy jet bombers
and additional funds for re-
search and development prof.
ects was approved by the SEN
ate Appropriations Committee
today.
The total is over SO billion
more than last years outlay.
1t is some 1896 million less than
requested by President Eisen-
hover and $348 million more
than approved by the House.
An extra 1856 million was ear
marked for Air Force procure
ment and Chairman Chavez OF
the Military Appropriations SUBJ
committee said this would pro-
vide a one-third increase in
heavy bomber and reconnaissance
wings. The administration had
asked for this additional fund
when intelligence estimates dis
closed that Russia was a year
ahead of anticipation in heavy
bomber construction.
"This additional money will
speed up the program and will
put the Air Force at its most
effective stage in history" Sen
Iator Chavez said. "The Amer
ican people can be certain their
Air Force will be the best in
the world"
The committee restored $40
million to bring the total to
$35 million for the Defense De-
partment emergency fund. This
fund is used to speed up prom
iSing research projects.
1t also recommended language
changes which would permit De-
fense Secretary Wilson to trans
fer 5000 million from other funds

ment program. Mr.. Wilson had
