House Group
Votes Aid Cut
Over 81 Billion
Appropriations Unit
SIoshes Request by
$500 Million More
BY the Associated Press

House Appropriations Sub
committee members said today
they voted to cut President Eli
senhowser's request for $40 bill
lion in foreign aid money by we'll
over a billion dollars.
The members of the subcom-
mittee handling the foreign aid
budget bill declined to be quoted
by name in advance of official
announcement of committee ac-
ton. expected later this week.
But they said their group,
headed by Representative Bass
man, Democrat of Louisiana. de-
cided to slash 5000 million more
than the billion-dollar cut in
military funds previously voted
by the House.
Some comparatively small cuts
also were made in the economic
aid sections of the bill, the APP
preparations Subcommittee infor-
mants reported.
Act in Closed Session
The Congressman acted in
closed session this week. Their
decisions are subject to a vote
by the full Appropriations Com
mittee, which normally follows
subcommittee recommendations
and later by the House and the
Senate.
The Eisenhower program orig
lnally called for about 50 billion
in military aid and SIG billion
in economic assistance for the
fiscal year which started Sunday
Mr.. Eisenhower and other ad-
ministration leaders have main
tanned that substantial foreign
aid cuts would endanger Amer
ica's security. After the House
voted to authorize a total of SO
billion. administration forces
succeeded in helping get through
the Senate bill to restore S70C
million of the House cut.
But that measure-now in
House-Senate conference-mere-
ly sets terms and ceilings, and
the actual funds must be pro-
vided in a separate bill coming
through the appropriations COM
mittee.
Sees Taxpayers Pleased
The House voted for a mill
tary aid authorization next year
of about 50 billion. Appropria-
tons subcommittee members said
this was cut to below S1.8 billion
Mr.. PaSSman. a strong OPP
ponent of foreign aid generally
declined to say what cuts the
subcommittee approved, but he
/ told a neWSman:
THE executive department
may not be pleased, the leader
ship may not be pleased. all
members of the appropriations
committee may not be pleased
but 1 am sure the American tax
payer will be pleased.
Even with the subcommittee
cut. the foreign aid appropria-
ton figure would still be nearly
a billion dollars more than the
$2.7 billion Congress voted last
year.

RussianMethods Hurt
Hung y>Sate||iteTo|d
Imitation Hit
By Budapest
Broudcuster

VIENNA, July 4 (R. A
Budapest radio commentator
last night said submissive imi-
tation" of Soviet methods had
harmed Communist Hungary's
economic development and Sc
verely damaged the satellite
country's internal policy"
AS reported by the Austrian
Press Agency, the commentator
on the Hungarian government
radio declared Hungary from
now on will pursue a policy
based on LeniniSm-M arxism
and in line with the tradition of
the country"
The comment was made
shortly after the Budapest radio
had announced that the Hun
garian cabinet met yesterday to
emphasize its complete accord
with decisions of the central
leadership of the Communist
Party.
Western observers here pointed
out that, despite the independent
tone of the commentator, Vest
ern intelligence authorities esti-
mate that the Soviet Union still
has 100000 troops stationed in
Hungary.
The latest Budapest broadcast
was interpreted by some here as
a belated sequel to the speech
May 18 by Hungarys Commun-
list boss. Matyas Rakosi, in which
he confessed he had practiced
Stalin-like dictatorship - the
cult of the individual"
Rakosi at that time promised
higher wages for workers and
efforts to increase the supplies
of food and consumer goods, but
warned that criticism would not
be permitted to disrupt party
unity.
The Hungarian party's CEN
trail committee last week end de-
nounced a meeting of intellec-
tuals known as the "Petoefi
Circle" which it charged was
working with former Premier
Imre Macy for new revolu-
ton in Hungary Macy was
ousted in 1855 and later expelled
from the party.
