pieces from various administra-
ton sources for the last few days.
If approved by Congress, the
new proposal would place the
Middle East on virtually the
same footing as Western Europe
and other vital sections of the
world protected against Com
munist aggression by American
military power. 1t would also
amount to a dramatic response
by the United States to the
critically dangerous situation
that has developed in the area
in recent weeks.
1t is to back up this commit
ment that standby powers to use
American troops may be asked
and proposals made for a greatly
expanded economic aid program
in the Middle East area. These
it appears are essentially subor-
Idinate features of a plan which
represents a radical change in
the Administrations Middle
Eastern policy to meet the threat
of Russian expansion.
Declaration Needed
The cornerstone of this policy,
as top Administration officials see
it. would be a declaration. con-
Cured in by both Congress and
the executive branch, to respond
instantly to any Communist ag-
erosion in the Middle East, CO.

territory.
The other features are, in
comparison. a good deal less
firmly pinned down. The exact
form Of the new Presidential au-
thority which will be asked of
Congress is still not decided and
will depend. in part. on the reac-
ton Of Congressional leaders at
their meeting with President
Eisenhower Tuesday. Several
alternatives are under consid-
Grafton. and it seems likely that
the Administration will tailor
its requests to what 1t can get
from Congress.
Similarly, although ceilings OF
up to $500 million have been re-
ported. the size of the new
economic aid program for the
area has not yet been deter
mined. Designed to combat
communist subversion and-to
some extent-take over British
and French burdens in the area.
its size will be limited TO the
number Of useful projects that
can be developed. A very con-
siderable step-up in the present
program is foreseen, although
finding suitable ways to spend
money in the Middle East has
presented a difficult problem in
the past.
With these reservations. it Is
now possible TO describe on good
authority the thinking which
lies behind the Administration
plan.
Primary Purpose

$40 Million for DC. Backed
In 1857 But No More Now
$17o.7 Million
Budget to Cover
Increased Pay
By DON S. WARREN

A Federal payment of $40 mil
lion-the maximum permitted
by present law-highlighted
recommendations by the House
Appropriations Committee today
for a $179.7 million District
budget for the fiscal year START
ing next July /.
The bill, which now goes to
the House floor, represents a cut
OF $3.l million from the budget
request submitted by the White
House. But it is about Sl0.3
million above appropriations for
the current fiscal year.
The increases included more
money for critical needs at D. C.
General Hospital and additional
funds for the Police Department.
Activities which felt the bite of
the budget AK included public
welfare and civil defense.
House Bill! Pending
The full $40 million Federal
payment was the most District
officials could hope for under
existing law.
Now pending on the House
floor, however, is a separate bill
which would boost city taxes by
about $40 million and add an
other 81 million to the author-
lied Federal payment. If Con-
gress authorizes such a Federal
payment maximum of $22 mil
lion, the city is expected to
quickly seek the additional
money for the 1857 fiscal year.
The House committees action
was based on recommendations
of a subcommittee headed by
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat, of Michigan, for a total
budget of $l79.797 800.
Civil Defense Fund Cut
Appropriations for the District
Civil Defense Office again are
slashed heavily. This is nothing
new to the District office. For
the fiscal year beginning July /,
the Commissioners recommended
$175,000. The Rabaut subcom-
mittee cut this down to $78,-
600.
For the Free Public Library,
the House Appropriations Com
mittee recommends SIT million,
which is an increase over the
present appropriation but is
decrease from the budget re-
quest. The budget request was
for $1.783.00o. The subcommittee
recommended a decrease of ST.
900.
The subcommittee said the
increase in funds for the IL
brary would provide for stating
on a fu'l-year basis for the Ana
costa branch library and for
