There was no immediate in

The United States protest
was sent to Maj. Gen. Andrei

The convoy consisted of four
trucks, two trailers and 26
soldiers of Company F of the
United States 40th Armor.
The Soviets complained that

said notice was unnecessary,

all types Of foreign aid.
Since the House committees
$600-million cut applies only to
future years, it will not affect
the $4.6-billion total of the
Senate bill for the coming year,
which includes only the $500
million first installment of Latin
American money. But the House
bill is likely to be smaller than
the Senate bill If the House
group later takes the United
Nations bond money out of the
foreign aid program.
The effect of the House
committees amendment, which
was offered by Representa-
tive Zablocki, Democrat of
Wisconsin, is to make the in
Stallments for each of the sue
ceeding years 5000 million, in
stead of $500 million as re-
quested.
SlOO Million for Grants
The House committee also
vent along with the Senate
committee in earmarking $100
million of the first-year money
for grants and the remaining
$500 million for loans. The ratio
of grants to loans for subse-
quent years will be left to each
session of Congress.
The House committee has not
yet acted on the President S
for a $400-million con-
tingent fund. which the Senate
committee cut to $500 million.
In the House committee the
contingent fund has been COM
plicated by suggestions that it
be used in place of a separate
fund to enable this country to
buy $1OO million of emergency
United Nations bonds.
1t may be next week before
the House committee completes
the bill. and it has left the
contingent fund and United
Nations bond proposal for con-
sideration last.

low the Presidents estimates.
The committee made another
$50 million cut in supporting
assistance, bringing that item
down to $4O0 million.
Even if both house accepted
the SAG billion figure it pro-
badly will be reduced later in
the separate appropriation bill.
Last year Congress authorized
$4.2 billion for foreign aid but
appropriated only $50 billion.
Another last-minute Senate
committee change provided
more leeway for settling dis
puteS which grow out of seizure
OF American property in coun-
tries receiving American aid.
Originally the bill provided
that if a foreign government
appropriated American proper
ty, or imposed discriminatory
taxes on it, the President would
be required to cut off aid un-
less that country took appro-
pirate remedial action within
six months.
The bill was amended yester-
day to provide that the Offend
ing government could either
take appropriate action, or
agree with the property owners
to submit the dispute to arbi-
tration.

against reporting the bill from
