Eisenhower to propose new school aid bill and foreign aid push
President Eisenhower announced plans to submit a new school aid bill to Congress and urged action on a foreign aid measure. He opposed a jury trial amendment to the civil rights bill, defended his position on the school bill, and dismissed reports about his personal wealth while answering questions from about 200 reporters. He noted some Senate Democrats complained about White House help on mutual security legislation, and he rejected allegations linking his nomination to the Gluck case. The school aid bill had been defeated by five votes, with supporters insisting it would pass if Eisenhower backed it.
