Senate May Sustain Foreign Aid Slash
Senator Dirksen predicted the Senate may sustain a $585 million foreign aid cut approved by the House. President Kennedy denounced the move as short sighted and partisan while urging a compromise to restore funding. The House voted 222-188 to slash the aid from a $4.1 billion authorization, then passed the bill 224-186 with a $3.5 billion ceiling. Kennedy argued for bipartisan reconsideration to avoid eroding aid commitments.

Senate Probe Asked to Review Labor Dept Pay Rules
Sen. James B. Pearson urged the Senate to ask the Small Business committee to investigate Labor Department pay scale reclassifications under the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act.
