Senate Approves Aid To Low in Spirits Areas

The bill funds 300 million in revolving loans for redevelopment and facilities plus 75 million in annual grants, with Eisenhower opposing the amount as excessive. Opponents warn aid may be too limited and costly, while supporters cite potential long term revival for communities hit by plant closures and resource declines.
