House Appropriations Cuts Funds for Voice Program
Washington report says the House Appropriations Committee cut 25 million dollars from Eisenhower’s overseas propaganda program. It refused to approve Justice Department funding for new prisons, criticized an executive wastebasket purchase, and trimmed USIA support though maintaining radio broadcasts. The panel recommends 190 million for USIA, with 29.7 million extra for the Voice of America. Committee actions await full House and Senate votes next week.
