per took a jaundiced view today
of President Sukarno's visit to
the United States and said ii
was only part of a war of sweet
smiles"
1ndoneSian political leaders
however, said they were certain
IndoneSia will benefit from the
success Of the presidential tour
They said United States policy
toward Asia, Indonesia in par
fticular, undoubtedly would be
more positive" as a result of
the visit.
Keng Pc, independent Chi
nese-owned daily, said the visit
was the result of the war of
sweet smiles" between Russia
and the United States, who "are
competing with each other to
win favors."
From his guestures and
speeches it seems that President
Sukarno is trying to convince
the American leaders he is a
staunch adherent to the. prin-
clples of democracy and state
organization. very close to the
ideologies of Washington. JET

Keng Pc.

Mr.. Sukarno for taking his ~

Representative Burleson OF

thing like $l.25 billion will have
to be slashed off the measure il

interview it is well known he

billion figure temporarily almost
untouched.
Ten Members Absent
Some of those present, who
asked not to be quoted by name,
said proposals to slash the So
billion dollars in proposed mil
litary aid in the bill ranged from
$500 million to nearly 81 billion.
All were voted down. The pro-
posed half billion dollar cut lost
by big majority, while other
votes were very close.
Finally Mr.. Richards put of
a decisive vote until Tuesday
so all 80 committee members
10 were absent yesterday-could
be on hand.
Meanwhile, administration
sources indicated they would
fight any money loss of the size
committee members are talking
about.
The military assistance request
is the prime target for fund
slashing because it is three times
the amount Congress voted last
year. The committee so far has
knocked only $l09 million of
the SIG billion Mr.. Eisenhower
wants in new economic aid.
Mr.. Vorys said he thinks the
economic aid has been trimmed
enough.
Bill Sets Ceilings
II should think half a billion
cut on the military would be
sufficient" he added. THAT
would be a substantial cut which
I think would be acceptable to
the House."
But Mr.. Burleson termed Mr..
Vorys' half billion dollar figure
lust a token cut"
Il wanted to cut 1t over a
billion dollars so we could have
a bill acceptable to the House. "
he said.
The measure itself does not
appropriate money but sets fund
ceilings and other conditions of
the foreign aid program for next
year. The actual appropriations
are to be voted later in a sep
arate bill and could be cut
further.
