House Unit Puts
Budget Cuts Up
To Eisenhower
BY the Associated Press

The House Appropriations
Committee uregd President Eli
senhower to day to indicate"
where Substantial reductions"
may be made in his ST. billion
spending budget for the next
fiscal year.
The President has expressed
hope Congress will find places to
cut the budget.
The Appropriations Committee
voted 22-12 for a resolution ask
ing the Presidents guidance in
cutting his peacetime record
budget. The resolution still must
be acted on by the entire House
membership before going to the
President.
Chairman Cannon. Democrat
of Missouri. said the Committee
voted generally along party lines
after beating down a Republi-
can-backed motion asking the
Defense Department to advise
the committee how it could trim
SO billion from the military
budget.
The resolution set no dead
line for the President to "indi-
cate" If and where cuts may be
made, Nor did it spell out what
1t might consider substantial
reductions.
Mr.. Cannon said he trusted
the President would respond
promptly"
Republicans explained their
opposition to the resolution by
Saying they considered it a buck
Ipassing move.
II felt that the budget is now
in the hands Of this committee
and this resolution is an attempt
to duck our responsibility for
meeting the situation" Repre-
sentative Taber Of New York. top
lcOmmlttee republican, told
newsmen.
Mr.. Taber said he believed II
was Congress job to cut the
budget and noted that the 30
member House Republican policy
committee earlier this week
called for substantial" cuts To
be made by Congress.
The Appropriations Commit
tee action was the latest step in
a growing congressional move
for economy. move which some
committee members believe may
culminate with Congress for
mally urging the President to
submit an entirely new budget.

Mr.. Sims spread before re-
porters documents which he said
were the basis of his case

art. Copies have been furnished

be presented to the AFL-CIO
Ethical Practices Committee.
Mr.. Sims made public the con-
tents of his letter to Mr.. Meany.
1t said:
THE fact and extent of that
domination and corruption are
glaringly demonstrated by the
manner in which the incontest-
able documentary proof which I
submitted in support of the
charges 1 filed against President
Cross were totally disregarded by
a majority of the board.
Indeed. instead of following
the compelling dictates of that
documented evidence and remov-
ing President Cross from Office,
the board summarily suspended
I me on fllmsy and wholly manu-
featured charges which have not
been the subject of any hearing
whatever"

To Visit Is Countries
Mr.. Richards, who was chair
man of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee when he retired from
Congress January 3. said yester-
day he may visit 18 or more
countries. He estimated that
his trip will require about two
months.
Congressional action on the
Middle East resolution signed by
the President today was COM
pleted last Thursday when the
House voted $50 to so to concur
in amendments previously
adopted by the Senate. The
Senate vote on the resolution
last week was 70 to 10.
The resolution serves notice
that the United States is pre-
pared to use armed forces to
resist any overt aggression in
the Middle East by any country
controlled by international COM
munism. 1t also gives the Presi-
dent a freer hand in spending
$500 million between now and
July for economic assistance
to Middle East nations requesting
such aid.
Under the resolution, the
President is required to notify
congressional committees at
least Is days in advance of any
specific spending for arms or
economic assistance.
Limits Military Aid
It also limits military as
Stance to use for internal secur-
lty and self-defense purposes. or
in connection with area collec-
tive defense pacts. This is
designed to prevent use of this
aid by recipient nations for ag-
erosion against neighbor states.
Still another provision calls
for continued United States sup
ply and other support for the
United Nations Emergency Police
Force stationed In the GAIA
Strip and the Gulf OF Aqaba
area.
The biggest Senate battle was
waged by opponents of foreign
aid. They made an unsuccessful
effort to strip from the resolu-
ton the $500 million in military
economic aid authority. They
professed to see in 1t the be-
ginning Of a spending program
that ultimately might cost bill
lions Of dollars.
The administration pledged
thisngould not happen.
