The House approved the bill,
drafted by Houses Senate con-
ferees, on a voice vote. -.
The Senate was scheduled to
take up the appropriations bill,
which provides spending and
revenue items for the fiscal
year now almost half over,
later in the day.
Concessions In Conference
House and Senate conferees
got together on the budget
measure with these concessions !:
/. Senate conference members
agreed to ditch all of the
spending proposals the Senate
had added to the District gov
ernment's budget requests. The
added items were for school
and welfare projects.
2. House conference members
dropped their support for the
city's plan to extend welfare
aid to children of the unem-
ployed. The Senate had reject
ed this project.
8. The conferees voted for a
Federal grant to the city Of
1865 million. This figure hits
the midpoint between the $50
million annual grant voted by
Congress last year and the $45
million approved by the Senate
for the current year.
"A Real Battle"
at was q real pitched
battle" one conferee said In
describing a series Of confer
ence sessions that led to agree
ment yesterday afternoon on
the 1913 million appropriations
bill.
The money measure is for
the fiscal period that began
last July /. This means the ex-
pected congressional approval
this week will come when the
fiscal year is nearly half over.
The city's budget requests
have followed a tortuous con-
tressional path, mainly because
of revenue problems. This, in
turn, generated problems for
the two conferee teams.

President johnson announced
today that he is going to
make Thomas c. Mann a spe-
cial assistant to the President
as well as an Assistant Secre-
tary of State in a move to
make sure that the United
States speaks with one voice"
on all matters affecting Latin
America.
His move to give Mr.. Mann
authority to coordinate all
Government activities affect
ing Latin America was an
nounced at a special press
conference in his office.
Mr.. Mann, now Ambassador
to Mexico, was named last Sat
urday by the President as
Assistant Secretary of State

The additional post of spe-
cial assistant to the President
will put him in a position to
oversee activities of the Alliance

2. His No. goal and ambi-

Senate Ready
To Debate Aid
Prompt Approval
Of Bill Indicated
By J. A. OLEARY
Star staff Writer

Passage of the $3.3 billion
foreign aid bill before Congress
adjourns this week became a
strong probability today when
the Senate agreed to start the
debate Immediately.
No one invoked the rule that
could have required a three
day waiting period when Dem
ocratic Leader Mansfield asked
unanimous consent to take up
the bill.
Democratic leaders are con-
fident the Senate will approve
the $500 million its Appropria-
tons Committee restored to the
House bill last night. This was
about two-thirds of the $500
million the House eliminated in
approving only $2.8 billion of
new money.
The Senate committee also
struck out the House amend
m mt which might have
blocked sale of surplus wheat
and other crops to Communist
countries. Both actions were
victories for President johnson,
who had left no doubt about
his dissatisfaction with the
House bill.
Compromise Likely
Counting the 5000 million of
old funds reappropriated, the
bill now makes a total of $3.5
billion available for foreign
aid and probably means the
two houses will compromise on
a final total of about $3.2 bill
lion in new and old funds.
1t Is customary for the two
houses to split the difference
on money items. Under normal
procedure, this would suggest
that the House eventually will
add half of the Senate in
crease. which would be $3.50
million, to the $2.8 billion of
new money approved Monday.
This would raise the new funds
