House Appropriations subcom-
mittee chairman, Mr.. Passman
could push the adjournment
into next week If he sought to
block agreement on the foreign
aid appropriations bill.
Senate leaders indicated the
possibility Of this when they
pointed out that the foreign
aid bill, once it has passed the
Senate, must be sent into con-
ference with the House on the
important issue Of the amount
Of money involved.
Senator Malone stalled the
drive toward adjournment last
night with a long, rambling
speech in which he intoned
criticisms Of the foreign aid
measure, increasing the debt
limit and other subjects, in
GLIDING long Senate sessions.
"We've been treated like e.
bunch of schoolboys," Senator
Malone complained as Senator
Knowland whispered to him,
apparently asking him to quit.
The Nevada Republican final
ly relented and allowed the
Senate to take up and pass the
debt limit measure after SEN
ator johnson told him the for
eign aid bill would be delayed
until today's session.
Bills Still Pending
Among other disputed leg
islative issues in the way of
adjournment were Federal aid
to education, the Federal en-
ploye security program, and a
$50 billion Independent Of11ces
appropriation to replace a big
ger bill vetoed by President
Eisenhower.
If these we're not enough, q
laSt-minute drive developed to
try to push through a trimmed
down $500 million Federal
housing and community facili-
ties bill Legislation introduced
by Senators Sparkman of Ala
bama and Fulbright Of Arkan-
saS. Democrats, combined two
measures which the Senate
passed earlier in the year but
which were defeated in the
House.
However, Housing Admin
istrator Albert Cole said the re-
vised bill was not acceptable to
the administration.
Before getting to Senator
Malone and the debt limit late
last night the Senate begged
down for several hours on a
House bill to allow Illinois and
the Greater Chicago Metropoli-
tan Sanitary District to take
more water from Lake Michi-
gan into the Illinois Waterway.
Members from that region Of
fered q score of amendments
before the measure was laid
aside temporarily so that the
debt limit resolution could be
considered.
Shorter Senate Actions
Until that issue brought a
flood of oratory, the Senate went
along on the following other
House bills or conference rec.
concentrations:
I. The compromise 1887 400, :
900 program of Federal aid to
education, with emphasis on
study and teaching of sciences,
languages and similar subjects,
but without the scholarship
provision sought by the admin
iStration. The House was ex-
pected to concur today and send
the legislation to the White
House. The Senate vote, 66-15,
climaxed more than an hour of
discussion during which several
Senators voiced regret that the
bill fell far short of necessary
educational goals.
2. The distressed areas bill.
In a surprise move on a hither-
to contentious issue, the Sen
ate accepted and sent to the
White House the House version
Of a bill providing approximately
$279 million in Federal loans
and grants for redevelopment
projects in localities suffering
from chronic unemployment.
Senator Douglas, Democrat of
Illinois, warned that if Pres
ident Eisenhower vetoeS the
bill "he will be going against
the policy his administration
has stated for several years"
3. A six-month extension of
the Renegotiation Act to June
80, 1859. The Senate passed the
