Senate Set To Vote On Aid Measure
The Senate scheduled a Thursday vote on a 4.502 billion foreign aid package amid expected clashes over proposed cuts. Debate focuses on trimming 600 million from the 2.6 billion recommended by the Foreign Relations Committee, with House support already for the aid. President Eisenhower proposed three billion in military aid and 1.9 billion in economic aid. Some plans would reduce totals to last year’s 2.7 billion, but Sen. Elmer La. said opponents have the votes to block. Additional contention looms over halting aid to Yugoslavia and cutting India aid. Senate leaders predict a tight vote, with party lines and a broad debate schedule keeping the chamber in session late.
