The House Appropriations Committee voted to cut 1.405 billion from Eisenhower’s five billion dollar foreign aid request, deepening a 28 percent reduction mainly in arms aid.

The move calls for a thorough investigation of foreign aid and contemplates carryover funds to extend programs for two to three years.

Parties Evading Blame For Killing School Aid
Washington Republicans and Democrats blamed each other after the House deadlocked and buried a federal aid to education bill by 224 to 194. The measure would have provided 1.6 billion dollars for school construction over five years and refused aid to segregating states. Democratic sponsors argued the bill reflected a population based approach, while Republicans faulted the party for not backing Eisenhower’s plan. Southern Democrats and others cited an antisegregation amendment as a point of contention.
