Aid program deemed essential to peace as Senate study begins
Assistant Secretary William M. Rountree called Eisenhower's 3.863 billion dollar foreign aid plan indispensable in the United States efforts for peace. The Foreign Relations Committee opened area by area hearings on military and economic assistance for the coming fiscal year amid demands to cut authorizations by 500 to 750 million. Col. Harry H. Critz outlined continued military aid to Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and others totaling 390.4 million, with Greece, Turkey, and Pakistan receiving most. Norman Burns cited 170 million for defense support and 48 million for regional technical cooperation plus 23 million for Palestine relief. Senator Lyndon B. Johnson urged thorough study and noted appropriations will follow Congress judgment.

Wilson Orders Major Cuts in Military Buying
Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson orders the Air Force to cut 250 million, the Navy 150 million, and the Army 100 million from planned purchases. The money remains available after July 1 per a spokesman, with possible further savings. The Air Force protests purchases without explicit congressional appropriation. Senator Symington says the cut could reduce Air Force orders next year by about 3.5 billion.
