House Group
Cuts Aid Bill
$136MiIIion
BY the Associated Press

The House Foreign Affairs
Committee today formally ap-
proved a bill to cut $136.5 mil
lion from President Eisenhow-
er's $4.175,OOO,OOO foreign aid
program.
The 1876 vote in closed ses-
sion, with no individual posi-
tions announced, confirmed de-
cisions the committee made
last week.
The action clears the way
for the Appropriations Com
mittee, where there is strong
sentiment for deeper cuts, to
go to work on the foreign aid
spending.
The 50 billion military aid
item, which the Foreign Affairs
Committee did not consider, is
a prime target for members
who want to slash the over
all program at least a billion.
The Appropriations Commit
tee passes on legislation to pro-
vide actual funds; the Foreign
Affairs Committee on bills to
set spending limits and define
policies.
The Foreign Affairs Commit
tee bill cut SIS million from
the SITS million proposed for
contingency fund to be spent
at the Presidents discretion.
The balance of $100 million
compares with $155 million
actually voted last year.
The bill also would reduce
the amount for special support
to military allies who are eco
nomically hard-pressed by $4s
million. to $675 million, COM
pared with $685. million voted
last year.
Another cut was $12.5 million
from the $26S.5 million pro-
posed for economic aid grants
The remainder would still bt
$ll million more than was
voted last year.

6. G.0.P. Drafts
Health Plan
Voluntary System
Rules Our Tux Rise

Administration leaders agreed
today on general guidelines
for a voluntary health insur-
ance program open to everyone
over IS.
The administration program,
still being developed, definitely
rules out any increase in the
social security tax to finance
the plan. Senate Republican
Leader Dirksen reported after
he and other G. o. P. con-
gressional leaders conferred
with President Eisenhower at
the White House.
Vice President Nixon and
Welfare Secretary Flemming
participated in the discussions.
Senator Dirksen said the five
criteria he outlined for a pro-
posed program represent the
Presidents view and Secretary
Flemming subscribes to them.
He declined to speak for Mr..
Nixon.
Criteria Set Forth
Senator Dirksen indicated
that the main problems still
to be worked out involve how
much Federal and State funds
should go into the program.
He said the criteria for an
administration health insur-
ance program that came out of
the White House discussion to-
day were that 1t should be VOL
untary, not excessive in its
dimensions, geared to private
insurance companies, financed
without any social security tax
increase, and somewhat limited
in its benefits.
Any person wanting to get
health insurance under the
program would have to pay a
fee, but Federal and State Gov
ernments would subsidize a
part of the cost, as Senator
Dirksen outlined it.
He suggested there might be
"a sliding scale of fees to be
paid by individuals, geared to
income.
Action This Session in Doubt
Senator Dirksen emphasized
that, as now enviSioned, the
program would be open to any,
one over SIS, whether on the
social security rolls or not.
He and House Republican
Leader Halleck said they did
not know whether the admin
istration program would be
ready for action by Congress

Star staf Writer

Senator Keating, Republican
Of New York, is expected to be
lead-off witness at House hear
ings tomorrow on a proposed
constitutional amendment to
let Washington residents vote
for President, Vice President
and delegates to the House.
Senator Morse, Democrat of

ator Kefauver has indicated he
either will testify or submit a
statement.
They will precede Robert E.

Board of Commissioners, who
has been invited to appear
along with more than 20 local
citizens.
All support the principle of
national suffrage. Senator
Keating and Representative
Broyhill sponsored proposals

Celler in Chair
Hearings are slated to run
two days before a House Ju-
dietary Subcommittee, headed
by Representative Celler, Dem
ocrat of New York.
Proceedings before his sub
committee promise to build a
record of unanimity behind the
vote. What differences develop
probably will relate to precise
language and the relationship
of the District amendment to
other proposed amendments
also before the subcommittee.
Senator Keating's Senate
passed resolution, for example,
was attached to two other
amendments-one to abolish
the poll tax and the other to
I'LL House vacancies in case of
national disaster.
Only Suffrage
Mr.. Celler has called hear
iFlgs, not on the Senate reso-
luton, but on a separate reso-
luton dealing only with Dis
trict suffrage
The Celler and Heating reso-
lutions would result in District
representation in the electoral
college and in the House of
Representatives.
They differ in that Senator
Keating would fix the num-
ber of electors and House dele
gates at the number to which
the District would be entitled
If it were a State. Mr.. Celler
eliminated any mention of a
State in his resolution. This
was done to make it clear that
the amendment was not in any
way intended to prepare for
District statehood. Senator
Heating had no such intention
either.
Mr.. Broyhill has introduced
his own proposals to accom-
plish the same thing in two
steps. He separated the presi-
dental vote and the House
representation sections, reason
ing that each could be cleared
more quickly as a distinct
issue.

West F|ot|y Rejects
Plan
Stand Puts
Conference
In Deadlock

GENEVA, April S (AP).-Ths
West today rejected Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev's
plan for total disarmament,
bringing the donation confer
ence to a deadlock. The Soviet
Union previously had turned
down the Vests proposal for
gradual disarmament.
United States Ambassador
Frederick M. Eaton declared
the Soviet plan was so faulty it
would threaten the world with
anarchy.
Mr.. Eaton also accused the
Soviet Union of misrepresenting
the motives of the United States
Government in the conference.
The American delegate labeled
as untrue accusations made
yesterday by Soviet Deputy For
eign Minister Valerian A. Zorin.
The Soviet delegate claimed the
United States was trying to
twist negotiations to secure q
military advantage.
Completely Unacceptable
Mr.. Eaton and French Dis
armament Expert Jules Moch
told the Communist bloc coun-
tries that the Soviet plan to
disarm the world within four
years is unacceptable in any
form and under any circum-
stance.
The Soviet plan. Mr.. Eaton
said, fails to conform to the
objectives of the United Ma
tionS resolution calling for an
effectively controlled disarma-
ment system. 1t also fails to
provide for an international
police force.
Thus. if the Soviet plan were
adopted it would result "in the
enslavement of small nations
by their large neighbors," Mr..
Eaton said.
Mr.. Eaton said the United
States, like every other govern
ment at the conference table.
was not prepared to sacrifice
its national interest.
Russian Sticks to Theme
Mr.. Zorin said the Soviet
Union did not object to the
Americans protecting their ma
tional security but added that
I'VE are not here to talk about
armament but about disarma-
ment."
This remark fitted his earlier
theme that the United States
hoped to use control measures
to overcome the Soviet Unions
lead in long-range missiles and
space vehicles.
Mr.. Moch listed these rea-
sons for the Vests refusal to
negotiate on the basis of the
Soviet plan:
/. The plan seeks to set q
precise time limit, which the
West considers Utopian and un-
realizable. The suggested
limit is four years.
2. 1t gives conventional dis
armament a priority over nu-
clear disarmament and fails to
provide for the disposal of con-
ventional arms to keep pace
with troop reductions.
