S3.6 Billion Aid
Figure Backed
By Mccormack
Senate Passes Bill
$227.3 Million Under
Presidents Request
By J. a. O'LEARY

House Democratic Leader Nc
Cormack indicated today he will
support the $3.6 billion foreign
aid bill which passed the Sen
ate last night. 81 to 25.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland and Democratic
Leader johnson united to beat
all attempts to cut the bill be-
low the Foreign Relations Com
mittee figure, which is only
$2273 million less than the
President asked for.
1t was victory for Mr.. Eli
senhower, who apparently has
slowed down a drive which was
developing in Congress earlier
this year to sink the economy
ak deeply into foreign aid.
The frequent roll calls during
yesterdays l3-hour session also
reflected a high degree of Re-
publican unity
Another Hurdle Faced
But even If the House goes
along with most of the Senate
provisions in this authorization
bill. the administration will still
face the toughest part of the
fight on the separate foreign aid
appropriation bill. which must
follow next month.
In fact. one of the arguments
used by friends of the bill to
beat of cutting amendments in
the Senate yesterday was a re-
minder that Senators could take
another look at the figures in the
appropriation bill. The authori-
zation bill merely fixes ceilings
for each type Of aid. The APP
preparation Committees will de-
eide later whether to allow all
or only part of the amounts au-
thorized.
Representative Mccormack
said today the Senate bill is
one that ought TO enable the
President to carry out his for
eign policy effectively. The
Senate did good Job. Too
sharp a cut would be inconslst-
ent with our national interest.
Representative Vorys OF Ohio.
a hlgh-ranking Republican on
the Foreign Affairs Committee.
said the Senate's action will be
influential with the House. The
House committee has at least
another week of hearings 10 hold
before il votes on the Senate
figures
Has New Approach
The Senate bill embodies a
new approach to foreign aid,
based partly on recommends
tons of the administration and
of a special Senate committee
which studied the problem for
more than year Important
features are
l. 1t authorizes military aid
for two years instead of one. SO
that this major part of foreign
aid can be placed in the defense
budget next year without wait
ing for another authorization.
2. 1t places greater emphasis
on loans for economic aid by
creating a revolving fund with
a three-year authorization The
fund would start out with an
appropriation Of $500 million
in 1858 and authority to borrow
from the Treasury TO cover
maximum obligations of $3.50

Gen. Hershey took occasion to
criticize the idea that men who
are drafted or scared into

caliber of armies was much
lower when they depended on
THE willing and the poor.
II is "dangeroLs" TO let draft
