lion House figure and the $4S
billion Senate ceiling.
/ OF the STA billion overall cut
in the money bill, more than 81 g
billion was taken from military
aid. The remaining 5000 million
of cuts was scattered through
the economic program.
In defense of its action, the
House Appropriations Committee
contended that as of June 30 the
administration had an unspent
balance of $6.8 billion from past
appropriations. 1t pointed out
that, with this bill. there will be
more than SOB billion available
for future expenditure.
Expenditures in the next IL
months are expected to exceed
81 billion. Even at this rate, the
House committee argued that the
total available with unspent bal
ances would carry the program
for about 2l2 years.
ReapprOpriatiOn Asked
The administrations request
for new funds this year has been
stated as $4,y billion, but the
Appropriations Committee re-
ported today the administration
also requested reappropriation
of more than 5000 million OF
unobligated funds which other
wise would have gone back into
the Treasury. This boosted the
total of requested obligationaI
authority to $751; billion. OF
these amounts the committee
approved $3.4 billion in new
money and more than 5000
million Of unobligated balances
for a total of $3.7 billion.

Committee today approved the
$3.7 billion foreign aid money
bill. after chopping STA billion
from the Presidents request.
This is the deepest in a series
of cuts which have been made
since Congress began consider
ing the program two months ago
Every year Congress is re-
quired to take two bites at the
foreign aid issue, first in an
authorizing bill, and later in an
appropriation bill.
The House started out by APP
proving a ceiling of 1913 billion
in the authorization bill. The
Senate raised this figure to $4.5
billion.
But the Appropriations Com
mittees are not bound by these
authorization figures, which are
merely ceilings. Exercising its
right to stay under the possible
ceiling. the House Appropriations
group brought out the smaller

taken on an additional burden
of SO million to meet ever

STA Billion Backed
For New Buildings
In Military Program
By HAROLD B. ROGERS

The House Appropriations
Committee today approved 81 A
billion for military construction
including many important prof.
ects in the Washington area.
Included was the proposed Air
Research and Development Com
mand Headquarters at Andrews
Air Force Base.
The Appropriations Commit
tee granted 1929. 100000 to the
Air Force, $165 million to the
Navy. $235 million from the So
called stock funds" of the Navy
and Marine Corps. S193 million
from the Armys stock fund"
and $5,450, 900 for interservice

stations.
Nuclear Plant Funds Set
Funds to plan a proposed nu-
clear heating and power plant
expected eventually to cost So
627 900 at Fort Belvoir were
granted by the committee. The
committee said the project is a
continuation of a plan carried
on jointly by the Army and
Atomic Energy Commission.
/ 1T is planned to build a test
plant in Alaska to determine the
feasibility of such plants in re-
mote areas" the committee said.
The committee said that tes-
timony showed that actual con-
struction could not be started
before fiscal year 1858 and the
committee believes this is an
optimistic estimate due to the
long lead time necessary in the
development of the equipment
as well as the special design re-
quired for the structure to house
it.
I The committee said for this
reason it had deferred funds fol
construction but allowed $500, 00C
for design purposes.

The committee eliminated re-
quests of the Navy Department
for 81 million for a jet airfielo
for the Naval Academy neal

In its report on the airfield the
committee said the site for this

Kidnapped Baby
SWELL, Father

Ransom Promised
To Caller Believed
To Be Abductor

WESTBURY, N. Y, July 6
GA person believed to be
the kidnaper of month-old Peter
Weinberger telephoned the par
ents' home today, saying the
baby was alive and we'll. Morris
Weinberger. the child's father,
told the caller he was prepared
to meet ransom demand.
Mr.. Weinberger said the call
came at $40 o'clock this morn
ing and that he told the caller:
Am ready to meet your de-
mand, awaiting your call"
1t was not made clear Just
why the response was worded in
such fashion and Mr.. Vein
berger revealed little else about
the conversation or whether he
would seek to make a private
effort to get the baby back.
Police Can't Pull Out
Police have said they could
not legally pull out of the case,
but that their prime concern is
the safety of the baby and they
would do anything possible in
this connection.
The Weinberger's baby was
taken from a carriage at the
back of the family's fashionable
home here Wednesday afternoon
while the mother had stepped
into the house a moment.
A note was left, demanding
$4,000 ransom.
Police baited trap for the
kidnaper yesterday with pack
ages supposedly containing ran
som money but mostly containing
paper in bill size.
However, no one showed up to
try to take either of two packages
placed at spots in the vicinity of
the Weinberger home.
Police refused to say after this
mornings phone call whether
they would step out of the case
long enough for the family to
make a private effort to get the
baby back.
Caller to Watch Papers
The only other information
given out by Mr.. Weinberger was
that the phone caller indicated
he would be watching afternoon
newspapers. Mr.. Weinberger did
not indicate what was meant by
this.
Earlier the distraught parents
of the 34-day-old child publicly
pledged to pay real ransom
money or do anything to obtain
a release of the sandy haired,
blue-eyed tot.
Mr.. Weinberger. a prosperous
wholesale drug salesman whose
handsome brick and clapboard
ranch house is located in Long
Island suburb about 35 miles
from Times Square, said he had
the cash ready to turn over to
the kidnaper.
Mr.. WeMberger said he would
go anywhere, do anything to see
his tiny son again.
And the mother, Beatrice
