Move To Put Foreign Aid Under Single New Cabinet Member
Congress sees a back hand effort to curb the State Department by consolidating economic and military aid under one cabinet official. A plan backed by many Republicans would create a Mutual Security Administration with cabinet rank to run all aid, except military equipment procurement. The proposal widens existing agencies State, Defense and ECA under a single administrator, while Truman favors the current setup. An interagency committee currently coordinates aid, and critics argue a single administrator would speed decisions.
