Mr.. Rusk touched on the
Berlin situation in his opening
40-minute survey of the world

gathered here for an informal
two-day conference on the
Cuban problem. Mr.. Rusk re-
peated what he had said before
about there being no connec-

other trouble spot in the world.
American officials described
the first session of the con-
ference in the State Depart

meeting"-where anyone who
has an urge just talks.

Mr.. RuSk was dominated by the

Senate Defeats
Last Attempt

Close 40-38 Vote
Assures Passage;

BY J. A. OLEARY
Star staff Writer

Senate passage of the $4.4
billion foreign aid appropria-
ton bill this afternoon was as
sured when the Senate today
defeated the last attempt to cut
1t.
But the final victory of the
Administration was a close one.
with the Senate lining up 40 to
38 against a motion by Repub-
lican Senator Mundt of South
Dakota to cut $125 million from
the fund for economic loans.
The Senate then agreed to
vote on passage of the bill late
today and favorable action was
a foregone conclusion. The bill
will then go to conference on
the $792 million the Senate
added to the House total of $3.6
billion.
In conference the two houses
are expected to split the diff
ference, which would give the
President approximately 81 bill
lion. Last year Congress ap-
propriated $3.9 billion.
Saturday Quitting Seen
Democratic leaders left their
weekly meeting with the PreSi-
dent confidently predicting
Congress will be able to ad-
journ by Saturday.
They said Mr.. Kennedy had
not made up his mind whether
to sign or veto the private PEN
sion bill for self-employed in
dividuals, which is a key to
early adjournment.
Senator Smathers, Democrat
of Florida, one of, the authors
of the private pension bill. told
reporters that If he does not
hear from the White House by
tomorrow he will offer the PEN
sion plan again as a rider on
the State, Justice and Com
merce appropriation bill in the
Senate tomorrow.
1t would require a two-thirds
vote to put this legislation on
an appropriation bill but Sena-
tor Smathers believes he has
the votes. If this is done sup
porters of the pension bill be-
lieve the President would not
veto that appropriation bill
because the two-thirds vote
would indicate Congress might
override a veto in any event.
Could Give Pocket Veto
If Congress adjourns during
the 10 days allowed the Presi-
dent to act on a bill, he may
kill it by putting it in his pocket
unsigned.
Besides foreign aid Congress
has only four other major is
sues still pending and they have
all reached the final stage of
conference reports dealing with
reciprocal trade, tax revision,
drug control and the postal
rate Federal pay bill.
The Senate has two other

foreign aid program.

full attempt to restore the man
datory House language barring
