ADMINISTRATION FOREIGN AID
 BILL SLASTIED 13 BY HOUSE

, WASHINGTON R-The House voted 155 to "A today to slash one third off the economic aid fund President Eisenhower asked to support defense programs Of Americas allies.
 The standing vote, subject to a later rollcall, amounted to a re- versal in see-SaW battle as the House 'bgean a day of showdown voting on Eisenhower's multi billion-dollar aid bill.
 The House action would slap a ceiling of $500 million on the de- fense support fund for the coming year. Eisenhower had originally sought $90O million for this fund which he says is needed to shore up economies of poor, anti-Com- munist countries like Korea and Formosa which border the iron curtain.
 At the start of the day, the bill carried S3,O42,333,OOO to aid other countries in the fiscal year which started July l. This is $8O2, 300, ,000 less than Eisenhower asked.
 Rep. Beatley R-Mich said the defense support funds can be cut safely because there is an $8 bill lion backlog unspent from past aid appropriations
 The anything-can-happen atmo- sphere extended also to other parts of the Eisenhower program which aid officials say are essen- tial
 In deep trouble was Eisenhow- CTS request for a three year loan fund for economic development projects abroad. The House For eign Affairs Committee approved $500 million for the fund for each of the next three years.
 Rep. Selden D-Ala) led a wide Unsupported move to knock out the billion dollars for the second and third years. Rep. Pitcher O. Ga planned to try to cut out the fund altogether. Others had in mind reducing the amount for the first year and leaving no authori- zation beyond that.
 Eisenhower's requested special assistance fund for general eco- homie aid seemed headed for hard knocks, too. Eisenhower request ed $500 million and the Foreign Affairs Committee approved $275 million.

plOn Ration MaciaS of Mexico
in Los Angeles before a
crowd of 10000, more than
half of whom were Mexican
and won a gruelling 15-round
decision for the undisputed
world title.
1T WAS a fast-moving bout,
difficult to score because
every time that Macias land
ed a clean punch, or ducked
stylishly away from an over
hand right thrown by Halimi,
the crowd cheered and yelped.
When Halimi did his best
work, there was silence at
Wrigley Field. When it was
81 over, however, the two
judges gave Halimi a decisive
margin, while the referee vot-
ed a narrow advantage to
MaciaS.
For the first ten rounds it
was a hard-fought contest,
but not particularly exciting
to the fans sitting anywhere
but in the front rows. Halimi
is powerfully built and pos
sesses a strong chin and
great endurance.
He simply moved in on
Macias and tried to bull him
about. The Mexican, fresh
and ready for a rough fight,
not only fought back well, but
seldom yielded in any of the
exchanges.
HALIMI now has won 21
out of % fights, II by knock
outs. He is 5-3, sturdily-built
and is going to be hard to
beat. He fought nearly 200
times before he turned pro-
fessional and one could see
that he had been to the post
more than % times.
He moves fast, confidently
and takes a punch well. He
has stamina and fights back
well when stung.

First Russian
Convert Now
In Israel

JERUSALEM (JTA) =
The first and possibly the
only Christian who has
been converted to Judaism
in Russia since the Bolshe-
vik revolution has arrived
in Israel.
Daniel Zagayski, the con-
vert, is a 70-year-old white
bearded man who has spent
most of his time since his
arrival in a Jerusalem
synagogue, r e citin G the
Psalms in gratitude for be-
ing in the Holy City.
Zagayski, who came to
Israel from Umman, where
he was a shoemaker, said
he converted to Judaism
under the impact of the
teachings of the Breslaw
Rebbe, whose tomb is To-
Gated in Umman.
The convert said that be-
fore World War II, an en-
tire village of Ukrainians
near Umman converted to
Judaism and that all of the
converts were exterminated
by the NaZiS.

it cost the Russians about $40
