House Cuts In Half
Ike's Requests For
Foreign Aid Funds

WASHINGTON, R - T h e
House Foreign Affairs Committee
Thursday voted to deny President
Eisenhower's request for long
term foreign aid authority. 1t
agreed instead on statement of
intent to continue foreign aid as
long as necessary to fight Com
muniSm.
The committee also voted to
cut in half the 200 million dol
lars Eisenhower sought for special
economic aid funds for Asia and
the Middle East.
1t said these funds should be
distributed in loans or surplus
farm goods, not given away as
money grants.
Chairman Richard DISC an
nounced the double blow to the
administrations $4,000, 100000 for
eign aid bill after a closed COM
mittee session.
He said the vote on long term
authority for specific foreign aid
projects-a major feature of the
bill-was not unanimous but was
quite lopsided against the Presi-
dents request.
Eisenhower had asked for up to
100 million dollars year for 10
years for long range overseas aid
projects.
