The Senator argued that il

2. Require all loans to Other
countries to be expended ir
the United States to increase
employment here.
8. Require at least half Of

nearly 81 billion could be added
quickly to a pending military
money bill if Mr.. Kennedy
asked for it to help meet the
Berlin crisis.
The Senator, acting chair
man Of the Appropriations Sub

to such money for aircraft,
missiles and Navy vessels. more
than $500 million could be
added for Army hardware.
He said he told Mr.. Kennedy
at a White House luncheon
Thursday that the subcommit-
tee will withhold action on the

bill until after the Presidents

speech Tuesday on the Berlin
situation. He is expected to

call up reserve and National

In Dayton, Ohio, Representa-
tive Halleck, Republican of In

that neither the National Guard

President Bourguiba. whose

United States. told his people
in a,radio address:
1T Is painful to see the
United States and Great
Britain take the same position
as France while blood flows at
Bizerte and hundreds are dy-
ing"
Both the United States and
Britain have appealed to France
and Tunisia to stop shooting
and settle their dispute over
the Bizerte base by negotiation.
The United States has taken
this stand in the United Ma
tio1s Security Council debate
on the crisis while the Soviet
Union has openly backed Tu-
nisia. The British government
urged both France and Tunisia
10 settle their differences as
Soon as possible.
Pockets of Tunisian diehards
were holding out in Bizerte as
French troops backed by armor

base is settled politically.
He paid tribute to the de-
termination to resist and the
morale Of the country in the
face of the crisis.
This is more of a psyche
logical than military problem"
he declared in his French
language speech.

IN the current crisis, the Tuni-
sian leader said he understood

applause greeted the action

church delegation.
Each member denomination
ITS Protestant, Orthodox, An
glican and national Catholic
bodies-was entitled to one vote
on the matter. Two United
States churches abstained-I
the Russian Orthodox Church
in America and the Hungarian
Reformed Church in America.
The Right Rev. Zoltan Beky
Of Trenton, N. j., bishop of the
Hungarian church, voiced the
fear Russian churchmen would
use the council las a platform
for political purposes.
Archbishop John of San
Francisco, head of the Russian
Church in America, which
broke away from the mother
church, expressed similar
doubts but added:
I'VE hope that the causes
for those apprehenSions i
will vanish in the near future
by the providence Of God"
Other churchmen from East
and West said the entry of
the Russian church broadens
the scope of the Christian unity
movement and gives ancient
Eastern churches full repre-
sentation in it.

Twenty-Five other church
bodies were admitted, including
the Bulgarian, Romanian and
Polish Orthodox Churches and
