House rejects Eisenhower aid call cutting 872 million
The House voted 253 to 126 to curb 872 million dollars from Eisenhower foreign aid requests.

The vote split along party lines with Republicans backing more aid and many Democrats opposing. The Senate Appropriations Committee will begin hearings next Tuesday, as leaders hope to restore substantial funds to the development loan program.
