Democrat Senator Opposes Aid Boost Monroney Opposes Request By Dulles WASHINGTON (INS) — A senate Democrat charged today that the administration seems to think it can buy peace by "puttirfk a tommy gun in the hands of every hottentot.” Sen. A. S. (Mike) Maroney (D Okla.), made the charge in lashing at the |3 - billion appropriation which secretary of state John Dulles said will be sought for military aid to friendly countries. With economic aid, the total request in 1956 will be for $4.9 billion. Monroney made it clear he thinks military assistance to stable areas is necessary. But he said he did not want to send guns to regions where the weapons could fall into the hands of Communists. He declared: “The theory that safety and peace can be bought by putting a tommy gun in the hands of every hottentot is oversimplification of the peace idea.” His statement recalled the furore in the Roosevelt administration days over the "bottle of milk for every hottentot” proposal, attributed to then agriculture secretary Henry A. Wallace.
