Montana fire marshal warns fireworks sales remain wide open for the next two July 4th holidays despite safety efforts.

House Committee Advances Foreign Aid Bill Amid Revisions
The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted 22 to 6 to authorize 3.242 billion dollars in foreign aid for the coming year, 600 million below Eisenhower’s request. It also backed a three year, 1 billion dollar development loan fund and approved 151.9 million for technical aid and 275 million for general aid, inching closer to Eisenhower’s priorities. The panel’s action, against a Senate path, shapes next week’s floor debate as other cuts loom in the final appropriation.
