House Rejects Army Cut Plan in Defense Vote
The House voted 224 to 158 to reject President Eisenhower's proposal to reduce the Army to 870000 men for the coming year and then approved a $38.41 billion defense appropriation. An amendment to fund a 900000-man Army for the year starting July 1 added about 99 million dollars. The bill passed 389 to 0 and moves to the Senate. The Army size was the sole controversy in the measure.

Eisenhower seeks separate foreign aid authority from security bill
President Eisenhower wants power to spend foreign aid in satellite countries if it aids independence from Moscow, but as a separate measure from the Senate debate on the mutual security bill. Senate Republicans report Knowland opposes Kennedy’s amendment to place such authority in the foreign aid bill, preferring it as an amendment to the Battle Act. The debate follows Proxmire’s unsuccessful bid to move military aid funds from the foreign aid bill to the Defense budget.
