financing what he called sight
seeing trips by private citi-
zens to military demonstra-

He denounced it as a costly

The services do not need to
create a host of influential
citizens" to act as permanent
lobbyists for their appropria-
tons. Senator Douglas said in
a prepared Senate speech. He
demanded that halt be called
to the trips.

Economic Gift
Cutoff Sought
By the Associated Press

The Senate Foreign Rela-
lions Committee has voted to
require President Eisenhower
to submit a specific plan next
year for an eventual cutoff Of
virtually all gift economic aid.
The purpose of the amend
ment is to shift the emphasis
from outright grants to re-
payable loans. =.
The committee yesterday
adopted a touchdown version
of a proposal by Senator Mans

who wanted to shut of all
grants for special economic as
sistance and for defense sup
port by June 80, 1868.
Earlier. the committee voted
to curb administration secrecy
on foreign aid spending and to
restrict Government guarantees
on private investment abroad
to that made in underdeveloped
countries.
The three amendments were
written into a $4,000 900
foreign aid authorization bill
on which the committee may
complete action today or Mon
day.
Under the anti-secrecyI
m n d m e t, the President
would be obliged to make pub
lie all information concerning

alton of all military and eco
nomic aid mot deemed by him
to be incompatible with the
security Of the United States"
Guarantee Forbidden
Under the second amendment,
offered by Senator Aiken. Re-
publican of Vermont. the Gov
eminent would be forbidden to
guarantee United States in
vestors abroad against loss from
war, 2onfiscatinn o, inability to
convert foreign currencies into
dollars-except on investments
in newly independent and un-
derdeveloped areas.
Under the third amendment,
the President would be directed
to send to Congress next year
for the fiscal 1861 foreign aid
program a specific plan for
each country receiving defense
support or special economic as
sistance, providing for pro-
gressive reduction and elimina-
ton" Of that aid.

feet on veterans receiving PEN
sions for disabilities connected
with military service.
The major aim. sponsors said,
is to put the nonservice-con-
nected pension program-now
costing the Government about
81 billion a year-on a need
basis.
In general both present law
and the new bill base eligibility
for pensions on income and
disabilities in the case OF a
veteran, and on incomt IN the
case of a widow TIE new bill
puts more emphasis than the
present law on the income quail
ification.
Initial Cost Higher
Although the bill would in
crease the cost Of the program
initially, sponsors predicted It
would save the Government Sl2
billion over the existing pro-
gram by the turn OF the cen
tury.
The immediate effect would
be to increase pensions for an
estimated 10 per cent of the
SO5.000 veterans and 100000
veterans widows now on pen
sion rosters.
In addition. the measure
would make an additional H.
O39 veterans and EOS. 6S4 widows
of World War II and Korean
war veterans eligible for pen
sions.
But those going on pension
rosters after the bill went II
effect would receive payments
on a sliding scale based on
need.
This concept Of a sliding
scale is the key to the whole
REFORM" the committee aide
said.
Boost Proposed
Under the current program
both single veterans with no
dependents and married vet
Grams with dependents receive
$78.75 a month. The bill would
boost this to $85 a month for
single veterans and 500 for
those married or with depend
ents. Widows now receive
S50.50 a month. The bill would
boost this to $50.
These scales, however, would
apply only to veterans and

prior to the actual parade.
Dressed in Moro costumes, the
