Senate Aid Action Hit Sparks Cold War Debate
Washington AP George W Ball undersecretary of state blasted the proposed denial of aid to Communist satellites as a no win policy. The Lausche amendment to bar aid to Yugoslavia and Poland passed 57-24 with 34 Democrats opposing the White House plea. If House action approves, development loans and surplus shipments to the two nations would be banned. Ball argued the policy would deny hope and misread a win strategy. Secretary Rusk condemned the amendment as most unfortunate and warned it could help hostile forces. The Senate acted after a White House protest letter from Bundy. See SENATE on Page 2.
