Most Of the committee ques-

detailed explanation of the mu-
tual security proposal for the
coming fiscal year dealt with
provisions of the suggested

Committee members seemed
sympathetic to the proposal but
warned Mr.. Dulles that much
criticism might center on de-
tails Of the plan for assisting
in the economic development OF
independent nations, particu-
larly in underdeveloped areas.

House Approves
Building Funds
$64 Million Offices
Completion Assured

The House voted today to 90
head with construction of a third
office building for its members
and committees.
On a roll call vote of FOG to
l76 1t beat an attempt to strike
from a $78 million legislative
funds bill SIS million appro-
priation to continue work in the
excavation already dug down the
hill from the present New House
ONCE Building.
The House then passed the
appropriation bill itself.
The vote practically assured
eventual completion Of the con-
templated $64 million office
building. About SIS million
already has been spent in acquir-
ing land and on the excavation.
The further SIS million would be
used principally for steel and
other foundation structural
work.
Reject Call for Delay
Opponents had warned that
approval Of the SIS million at
this time would put the project
beyond the point OF turning
back. They urged that the
House at least defer the Job as
% part Of its economy drive
which has cut almost $1.4 billion
from appropriation bills already
passed for Governmental depart
ments.
Practically all debate yes
terday centered on long-range
proposals for construction Of the
third office building, remodeling
of the two present office buildings
and perhaps extension Of the east
front Of the Capitol. The bill,
however, contains no money for
the Capitol extension or the re-
modelling work. The House was
Informed that those projects have
been deferred for at least a
year.
An apparently strong BIZ
partisan move to strike out the
further SIS million installment
caused Speaker Rayburn to ad-
dress the House.
Sees Work Essential
Mr.. Rayburn insisted that the
additional structure was. essen
tial to proper functioning Of

for the coming fiscal year was
only a "bagatelle" compared with

Puts
Off Hearing
Teamsters Get Tim,
To CIeun House
BY CECIL HOLLAND

A hearing for the Teamsters
Union on corruption charges was
postponed by the AFL-CIO to-
day. apparently in a move to
give the union time to clean its
own house under the leadership
Iof John F. English. newly elect
ed AFL-CIO officer.
An AFL-CIO spokesman said
mo date for the hearing had beer
set. The hearing was scheduled
to take place Friday before the
AFL-CIO ethical practices CON-
|mittee.
The announced reason for the
|postponment was that the ALL
Go desired to prepare addition
al charges on the basis Of
disclosures against Teamsters
Union President Dave Beck since
the original hearing on May 8.
However. the move was inter-
preted as giving Mr.. English
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the Team
sters. and q group he heads
within the union more time to
try to bring about the resigna-
ton Of Beck.

clear that he and others would

tive Council ousted Beck as an
AFL-CIO officer on Monday or

union funds"
Some weeks ago the AFL-CIC
charged that the Teamsters
Union was under the domination
of corrupt influences" The
charges were based largely or
Beck's alleged wrongdoings.
The AFL-CIO also postponed
a hearing set for Saturday fol

Text OF President Eisenhower's Foreign
Aid Speech. Pose AS
at a news conference that Re-
Ipublicans in Congress who want
his enthusiastic support for re-
election next year must back adj
miniStration programs.
The President assailed espe-
Icially a House-proposed cut in
defense funds that he said would
cause the country's aircraft pro.
Icurement and guided missile
programs to suffer.
He fatty ruled out any pros
pect of a tax reduction under
present conditions of a precari-
ously balanced budget and indi-
Gated that Government. expendi-
lures might rise even above the

airy budget message.
In Tougher Mood
Mr.. Eisenhower was in a much
tougher mood in what he con-
coded was a fight with Congress
over his budget today than he
has shown in past news con-
ferences.
Presumably he was encouraged
by response from the public to
his radio-television speech last
week defending his budget. He
said his correspondence now had
turned to be very much in favor
of his stand.
Still, the President was in no
indicative mood.
He said he had no right or
desire to punish anybody for
disagreeing with him. And he
said Senate Republican Leader
Knowland's differences with him
on some critical issues do not
mean that the Senator is his
enemy.
Degrees Of Enthusiasm"
But the President hoped that
he never would be accused of
being so namby PANTY as not to
have degrees of enthusiasm re-
garding those who stand with
him and those who stand against
him.
The first question asked at the
Presidents news conference was
what he thought about a House
Appropriations Committee vote
to cut SIS billion from appropri-
atoms he asked for the Defense
Department.
He said just about half the
amount, some $1.2 billion, in
volved direct cuts in defense pro.
grams. If that reduction stands,
he added. somewhere the aircraft
procurement and guided missile
programs are going to suffer.

Gently explored the problems

Senator Morse called on the
group to grant the money, which
is $2.8 million more than the
House allotted to expand the
program for the needy.
His proposals ranged from the
use Of frozen foods for a free
lunch program to establishment
OF a "homemaker service" for
families subject to public assist
ance.
In an outline of the problem to
the Appropriations Subcommit-
tee. headed by Senator Pastore
Democrat Of Rhode Island, Sem
ator Morse said immediate reme-
dial action was required by find
ings that there were conditions
Of almost indescribable suualol
and filth" within three blocks Of
the Capitol.
Study Is Ordered
Chairman Pastore immediately
directed the Commissioners tc
study the lengthy Morse presen-
tation and to come up with a
direct response.
The Morse proposals provoked
Q lively discussion in the An
preparations Subcommittee, with
questions running to how the
District could finance such an
expanded welfare program.
Senator Morse said he was not
concerned about that because he
felt the Federal payment to the
District should be even more
than the SO million Urged by
the Commissioners. Senator
Morse heretofore has taken a
lead in demanding an increase in
the Federal payment.
He made the point that there
should be no temporizing with
human needs on the question Of
city financing.
Financing Questioned
Senator Pastore didn't quarrel
with the views voiced by Sem
ator Merse, but he wanted to
know about financing.
The Oregon Senator replied
that he doubted that there were
as many as a half dozen cities
with . welfare picture as bad as
Washington's.
Commissioner Karrick, in
charge Of welfare matters, chal-
lenged that statement but he
did not come in for any con-
domination from Senator Morse.
nor did Gerard Shea, welfare
director, for having failed to

debate. with any greatly ex-
banded welfare program.
Senator Morse said I'VE should
restore the So million (cut by
the House from the Federal pay
ment) and give them $2.0 million
more than what they are asking
for for welfare and that's still
not enough"
