House Cuts State Department Funds Almost One-Third
The House approved a bill cutting the State Department budget by about one third, boosting total cuts to over 19 billion dollars from President Truman’s 1953 plan. The Voice of America and foreign information programs faced steep reductions, with overall State Department funding dropped to 215,988,362 dollars. The measure also trimmed Justice and Commerce Department appropriations and left a 46-billion-dollar military authorization pending.

House Votes Vatican Mission Must Have Senate Approval
The House approved a provision in the State Department appropriations bill by 159 to 82 to bar funding for a Vatican diplomatic mission until the Senate confirms the top diplomat. Rep. Preston said the measure blocks President Truman from appointing an ambassador or establishing a mission during recess, following the Clark appointment episode. President Truman may renew relations via a personal representative.
