House Deals Rebuff To Loan Bill
The House rejected the long-range loan feature of President Kennedy's foreign aid bill by voting 197 to 185. House action trims five-year lending authority, aligning with D. S. Sound's amendment to limit to a single year with a 1.2 billion ceiling. Kennedy aims for 4.3 billion in aid this year and 8.8 billion over five years at little or no interest.
