Foreign Aid In Trouble In House Battle
President Eisenhower faces pressure as supporters push back against House cuts in a sweeping foreign aid bill. The House voted 106 to 100 to allow 500 million for the program, far below Eisenhower's request, with Senate and committee adjustments reducing the total to about 2.24 billion. House floor managers warn further reductions may follow while Eisenhower argues the aid is essential to defend free nations. Final passage looked possible as debate continued into the fourth day.
