Acheson Emerges Victor In Senate Budget Battle
Washington July 27 An arduous Republican push to remove Secretary of State Acheson failed as the House approved a 1 045 940 115 dollar appropriation bill funding State Justice Commerce and federal courts for the new fiscal year. Pay was saved by an 171 81 standing vote amid GOP opposition and a separate 245 141 vote upheld the Voice of America budget at 85 million dollars. Acheson’s critics sought to deny pay with an amendment targeting policy heads tied to foreign government work, but the measure did not name him directly.
