Russell Loses,
FL, in Bid to
Limit Policy
BY ]. A. O'LEARY

The Eisenhower Middle East
resolution cleared its biggest
hurdle yesterday when the Sem
ate refused to drop all reference
to military and economic aid
funds.
BY a vote of SO to %, a BIZ
partisan coalition defeated the
Ebon Reported Seeking U. S. Indulgence
/ On Delay. Poee AS
Russell substitute, which would
have left in the resolution only
a promise to use American
armed forces to support any
Middle East nation asking for
help against Communist agrees
sion.
A variety of other amend.
ments remained to be voted on,
but supporters of the Eisen-
hover doctrine predicted it will
pass this week without further
material change.
The 2-to-1 margin against the
substitute was more decisive
than administration supporters
had expected few days ago.
Sends Urgent Plea
Just before the vote. President
Eisenhower made an urgent APP
peal to the Senate not to strike
out the economic and military
aid features. He said such ac-
ton would "gravely impair our
ability to help these nations pre-
serve their independence"
The President also emphasized
that the resolution is aimed at
two dangers in the Middle East
armed aggression and indirect
subversion. To counter one
and not the other would destroy
both efforts" he said.
The Presidents views were
contained in letter read to
the Senate by Republican Leader
Knowland Of California.
On the roll call, 38 Republic
cans were Joined by 20 Demo-
Gratis, including Majority Leader
johnson, in support of keeping
the resolution intact. Only five
Republicans left the admins
tration to join % Democrats in
voting for the Russell proposal.
Nine absentees had their posi-
tons announced for the record.
If they had voted the substitute
would have oeen beaten So to 80.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat Of
Arkansas. was the only absentee
whose position was not an
nounced.
Gets Free Hand
The party breakdown of the
IS whose positions we're made
known shows 40 Republicans and
% Democrats supporting the ad-
ministration. with 25 Democrats
and seven Republicans on rec
ord for the Russell substitute.
Defeat OF the Russell plan
gives the President. the free
hand he asked for to spend $500
million of existing foreign aid
funds in the Middle East be-
tween now and July. What is
done thereafter will be decided
by Congress later in the session
on the regular foreign aid bill
for the fiscal year 1858.
Adoption of the Russell plan
would not have deprived the
President of the 5000 million,
but it would have forced him
to spend it IN accordance with
various restrictions in the for
eign aid law.
For example. he would have
been required to obIigate it all

Case Bill Asks
7 More Bridges
Spons Would Have
6 Lanes Euch
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

A bill directing the Federal
Government to build and pay go
per cent of the cost of two new
six-lane bridges across the Po-
tomac River has been introduced
by Senator Case. Republican OF
South Dakota.
The proposed locations are
two which long have been urged
by the National Capital Plan
ming Commission. They are:
!. Just downstream from the
Fourteenth street railroad bridge
extending from the Reaches Run
bird sanctuary in Virginia and
crossing East Potomac Park into
Southwest Washington.
2. Between Key and Chain
Bridges. crossing the Three Sis
tiers Islands in the Potomac. The
bridges Washington end would
be near Arizona avenue and
Macarthur boulevard.
Senator Case stressed that he
did not intend his two-bridge
bill to be a substitute for the
proposed six-lane bridge at Con-
stitution avenue.
New Hearing Set
A House District subcommittee
1t was learned, has called a meet
ing for next Thursday TO hear
more testimony on whether a
bridge or tunnel should be
built at Constitution avenue. Ole
Singstad. New York tunnel ex-
pert. will be questioned on con-
1icts in estimates of the main
tenance and construction costs
OF bridges as against tunnels.
1t was Senator Case who three
years ago stepped into a con-
troversy between District high
way and Federal planning
officials. and brought about a
compromise on the Constitution
avenue bridge location. Since,
however. Federal park officials
who dislike the bridge have re-
vived the tunnel issue.
MY new BILL" Senator Case
SAID yesterday, has no effect on
that. II the other controversy
unravels itself, we'll and good"
He added that he would not OPP
pose the Constitution avenue
bridge project in the Senate.
Asked to Scrap Project
The South Dakotan did pro-
pose, however, that the District
scrap its plans to rebuild the
present three lane Virginia
bound Fourteenth street bridge
as a part of the interstate high
way system.
Under his new bill, both the
Reaches Run and Three Sisters
bridges would be designated

system. They would be built by
