Congress debates school aid amid Eisenhower address
In Washington, House Democrats cite Eisenhower’s State of the Union to push for more funds for hard hit school districts. The House Appropriations Committee rejects Truman’s request for 1.1 million, stating 40 million already exists for the year end. Rep Fogarty vows to press for 24 million restoration at amendment time, arguing bipartisan support. The aid bill totals 1.4 billion for miscellaneous government activities, with 1.2 billion of cuts to Defense. Critics say cuts amount to paper saving rather than real economy.

Simmering Clash Over Top Fiscal Policies Bared
Washington fledgling clash over tax cuts and spending cuts erupts as the House Ways and Means Committee backs a 10 percent individual income tax cut starting July 1 while President Eisenhower demands a balanced budget before any tax relief. The panel warns delays could harm the economy and signals possible veto risk. The committee report, approved 21-4, also notes Treasury talks of a temporary 2 point surge in corporate surtax to replace the excess profits levy, but Reed asserts no tax increases this year. The action follows Eisenhower’s insistence on a balanced outgo and income plan and paves the way for a tax bill to be sent to the House.
