Education Budget Slashed as Congress Attacks Policy
The House Appropriations Committee cut about 3.8 percent from Eisenhower’s budget for Labor and Welfare, totaling 2.34 billion for the coming year. Democrats said the move weakens the U.S. Office of Education and disperses its authority across agencies, while funding a new study on mentally retarded children and boosting FDA efforts to curb quack cures abroad.

Soviets Warn France Over Treaty If West German Arms Rise
Moscow issued a new note to Paris warning that Russia will scrap the 1944 Russo French treaty of friendship if France approves West German rearmament. The Kremlin said France would be entirely responsible and linked the move to blocking ratification of German rearmament measures days before the French Senate debate. The note, handed to Ambassador Louis Joxe, reaffirms the Dec 16 position and states ratification would tear up the 1944 mutual security pact.
