Committee Tightens Foreign Affairs Watch
The House Foreign Affairs Committee tightens oversight on international developments and diplomats while the Senate Appropriations Committee sends investigators to Europe for guidance on proposed foreign aid cuts. Unprecedented closed-door briefings feature Secretary of State Dulles and Gen J Lawton Collins with Gen Alfred Gruenther likely to testify during his U.S. visit. The move signals closer Congress control amid ongoing foreign aid budget uncertainty after last year's 23 percent reduction.

Hagerstown Man Freed From Prison
A Hagerstown man who confessed to a murder was released as police and the state's attorney called the case the most fantastic murder investigation. An autopsy on 36 year old Lillian Armstrong suggested death by suffocation or alcoholism. A young girl claimed to witness a smothering, but the evidence did not support the claim and the man was freed. President Eisenhower rested at the White House with a cold after cancelling a church service in Arlington. He golfed yesterday and faces a full schedule of engagements tomorrow.
