Senators Due
To Boost Aid
BY J. A. O'LEARY

A foreign aid appropriation
close to the 81 billion ceiling both
houses already have authorized
is expected to be approved by
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee late today.
Senator Ellender, Democrat of
Louisiana, advocate Of a sharply
reduced program, conceded that
the committee probably will go
along with the administrations
plea for a substantial increase in
the $3.4 billion of new money
voted By the House. The House
bill actually makes $50 billion
available, but nearly $500 million
Of 1t is old money reappropriated.
The Louisiana Democrat said
If the committee increases the
bill. he will carry the fight for
the lower House figures to the
Senate floor next week.
President Eisenhower started
out with a budget of $40 billion.
But both houses passed an
authorization bill, which is now
on the Presidents desk, placing
a 81 billion limit on new funds
for the next IL months.
The appropriation committees
may go below. but not over, the
authorized ceiliny. Even if the
Senate should vote for 81 bill
lion, however, compromise
would still have to be reached
with the House. The end re-
suit probably will be an appro-
priation of about 1913 billion.
Secretary of State Dulles and
Admiral Radford, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made
final appeals to the senators yes
fterday to increase the House
bill.

Senator Green Heads
inaugural Committee
BY the Associated Press

Senator Green, Democrat of
Rhode Island, the Senate's old
est member. last night was
elected chairman of the Senate
House Committee to plan for
Inauguration of the President
in January next year.
Senator Green announced he
would resign in favor of a Re-
publican on the joint committee
if a Republican were elected
President in November.
The committee authorized the
architect of the Capitol to let a
contract for erection of the
usual inaugural stands.

retired recently after command
ing the Second Army with head
quarters at Fort George G.
Meade, Maryland.
FavOrs Small Setup
1T is my view that the De-
partment of Defense office of
Public Information should be a
very small organization to
promuigate broad overall pohc-
les for all the services" he
testified. Operations, however,
should be delegated completely
under announced policy to the
military services and their public
information staffs with direct
access by the press to the officers
of the services without going
through the Department of De-
Tense"
Information would thereby be
greatly facilitated" the General
said.
He also complained bitterly
about financial limitation
placed on service public in
formation activities.
He said the limitation re-
quired reports on just how much

Force had steadily dwindled
since the unification of the
Armed Services. He said the
feeling had grown that too much
money was being spent, but then
declared that certainly the tax
payers want to know where their
money goes"
The Army's share was more
than $3.2 million in fiscal 1852
and S83O,OOO during the last
period.
The Second Army. which COW
erS seven States. Gen. Parks re-
ported, received the "munificent"
allotment of $4,000. Fort Knox,
Kentucky, with approximately
1000 personnel, was limited to
81 900 per year, he reported.
Urges Career Setup
The General also called for es-
tabliShment of public informa-
ton careers so that personnel in
this work are not penalized I'M
der the promotion systems. Key
personnel should be kept in their
assignments at least four years,
he said, and preferably on a per-
manent basis, so that they may
work their way up to the top
jobs in the field.
Gen. Parks opposed the men,

suggested the armed forces ap-
point civilian information direc-

The contract itself was a
good contract" Senator Hicken-

But Senator Kefauver, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, a candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination. said the contract
was and is a scandalous thing"
The comments came after the
Justice Department yesterday
asked the United States Court
of Claims to throw out a Dixon
Yates suit against the Govern
ment. The suit seeks $685.

cause of an alleged dual role
played in the negotiations by
Adolphe H. Wenzell. 1t also adj

Budget Burau on expansion of
electric facilities in the IVA
area, and at the same time a
salaried vice president of the

Mr.. Wenzell has denied any

The House Civil Service Com
mittee has promised that it also
will act on the bill.
The major health insurance
bill still has a chance, but the
time element plus the opposition
of Blue Cross and Blue Shield
makes it less than an even bet
at this time. However, it would
be mistake to write off the
bills chances completely, since

does happen in Congress.
