House OKs Three Bills for Four Billion Dollars
The House advanced three appropriations totaling four billion dollars, criticizing Civil Defense Administration for lacking a realistic plan and withholding funds for bomb shelters. The committee cut civil defense by 150 million from a 200 million request, while approving 260 million for the Atomic Energy Commission and 709 million for stockpiling materials, with other agency awards across the supplemental bill. Canfield denounced the cuts as two hatchet jobs impacting civil defense and narcotics.
