Dulles Sees No Hope for Major Defense Cutbacks
Secretary of State Dulles told a closed Senate Banking Committee session that there is little sign of drastic defense or foreign aid cuts despite pressures from the Soviet Union. President Eisenhower aims to extend some controls and extend certain allocations, with June 30 as the expiration for those measures. The Foreign Relations Committee plans to hear Dulles before revising Eisenhower’s resolution on free peoples and interpreting international pacts. Hawaii statehood is urged by the Defense Department, drawing political backlash. The committee also approved ambassadorial nominations and a servicemen dependents bill extending aid through July 2, 1955.
