OK Fund for Areas of Need OK Fund for Areas of Need
The Senate passed a measure by 46 to 36 sending a 373 million dollar aid bill to the House to aid about 70 major industrial areas and up to 300 rural counties with chronically high unemployment. Supporters say it offers economic comeback potential though critics warn against selective impact and long term costs. The plan includes 300 million in revolving loans and 75 million in annual grants for development and facilities to attract new industry. President Eisenhower urged 50 million in loans within an 8 billion package. Opponents call it socialistic and worry it may not be broadly applicable or affordable.
