President Kennedy declares
it was his inescapable duty to

Grim, yet conciliatory at

he hoped it would be unneces-

conciliation and persuasion

S5.2 Billion
Works Bill
Aid Funds Debate
Is Next Big Item
In Closing Rush
! BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

The Senate today passed the
$50 billion public works ap-
preparation bill as Congress
began what leaders hope will
be the final week of the session.
The public works measure
carries founds for numerous
river, harbor and flood control
projects, plus $500 million for
the emergency program re-
quested by President Kennedy
to reduce unemployment. The
vote on passage was 50 to 8.
1t came after Senator Prox-
mire, Democrat Of Wisconsin,
was defeated, So to II, in an
effort to knock out the Glen
Elder reclamation project in
Kansas, which he said would
stimulate production of feed
grains at a time when the
Government is struggling to get |
rid of a feed grain surplus.
This leaves only three money
bills remaining to pass one or
both houses before Congress
can adjourn. Also awaiting ac-
tion this week are the confer
ence reports on the Presidents
foreign trade and tax revision
bills.
Aid Bill Is Next
The Senate turned immedi-
ately to debate on the $4.2 bill
lion foreign aid bill. which con-
servativeS will try to cut.
Meanwhile, the House Appro-
priations Committee reported
out the last supplemental ap-
preparation bill, carrying $400
million for miscellaneous Gov
ernment needs. The Senate Ap-
preparations Committee was in
session prepared to act on the
other remaining money bill for
the State, Justice and Com
merce departments.
Smathers Plans Fight
But a comparatively minor !
bill, designed to let self-em-
ployed persons set up their own |
retirement plans, was the most
serious threat to adjornment |
by Saturday.
Senator Smathers, Democrat
of Florida, has given his col
Leagues notice he will try to
delay adjournment to prevent
President Kennedy from giving
the pension bill a pocket veto.
The President has 10 days
from last Saturday in which to
sign or veto this bill. Senator |
Smathers is confident two
thirds in the House and Senate
would pass The bill over veto.
But if Congress adjourns
while Mr.. Kennedy is still con-
Sidering the measure he could |
let il die without his signature.
Democratic leaders will try
to get decision from the
President on the pension bill
when they hold their weekly
conference with him tomorrow
morning.
Drive Against Aid
Meanwhile, Senator Ellender, |
Democrat of Louisiana, was
preparing to launch 1 drive in
the Senate to eliminate some of
the $792 million the Senate APP

stored to the Foreign Aid bill.
