Move To Slash Aid a Billion Made by G.O.P.
Washington August 15AP Economy minded House Republicans launched a drive to cut up to a billion dollars from the administration's 8.5 billion foreign aid bill. The House foreign affairs committee proposed a 651.25 million cut and warned defense needs remain strong. Senate hearings paused as House debate stretched through the day with further amendments expected tomorrow. Senator Lodge urged heavy Western European rearmament and countering Soviet satellites with greater West German force. Republican leader Martin reported strong sentiment for up to a billion dollar cut, tying it to the committee's action. others favored deeper cuts. A separate 3 billion cut proposal circulated by Representative Vursell warned against excess aid, arguing 5 billion for military aid suffices and Truman's economic aid request was excessive. The overall plan targets economic aid reductions while defense and military aid still face scrutiny.
