Proposes $2 Billion Cut In Foreign Aid

WASHINGTON (UPD — The chairman of the House Foreign Aid Appropriations Committee today proposed a $2 billion cut in President Kennedy’s foreign aid funds. Kennedy won the first round Tuesday, when the House approved and sent him a bill authorizing a $4.6 billion ceiling on foreign aid for fiscal year which started July 1. But the actual money must stll be appropriated, and the legislation to do that was being studied by appropriations subcommittee • Chairman Otto E?’ Passman, D-La. He defeated Kennedy on the issue last year and hopes to do the same this time. Passman told United Press International in an interview that it was time for Congress to cut foreign aid spending to the $2.5 billion level. Storm Clouds Ahead “Why, even if we give them $3.5 billion,” he said, “they wouldn’t know what to do with it.” This means storm clouds ahead for the White House, which told Congress last January that $4.9 billion was needed to run the foreign aid program. Congress authorized $206 million less but Passman hopes to cut the original request almost in half. He points to unused funds from past years and the imbalance of payments problem a s good justification for the move.

Chances are that Passman will not win the drastic cuts but the reductions his House subcommittee votes probably will be large enough to prompt an appeal by Kennedy to the Senate for restoration of the money. Was Slashed SB6O Million Passman kept the foreign aid program just below $4 billion last year. This represented an SB6O million slash from what Kennedy originally wanted. This year Passman wants to make that cut more than $2 billion. In the authorization bill approved Tuesday, Congress gave Kennedy authority to continue U.S. aid to Poland and Yugoslavia when he considered it vital to American interests. Kennedy wanted the power to take advantage of cracks in the Iron Curtain. The bill, regarded as a major fidministration victory, also was without two provisions the White House had fought to remove. 1116 sections, dropped by a House-Sen-ate conference committee, would have cut aid for India and prohibited the United States from buying SIOO million worth of U.N. bonds until other countries paid up their back debts to the world organization. Corn Growth Sets Astonishing Pape LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Agricultural statistician Robert E. Straszheim, who ordinarily avoids superlatives in his weekly Indiana crop reports, broke precedent today and reported that the growth of corn “has set an astonishing pace this season.” “Observers reported 65 per cent: of the crop had tasseled by the end of the third week in July,” Straszheim reported. “Such a development compares with less than 10 per cent tasseled a year ago, usual of about 30 per cent, and the 60 per cent tasseled by this date in 1954.” The report also said growth of soybeans was rapid with observers noting more than 30 per cent i setting pods compared with the usual 20 per cent. I Stormy w eather early in the i week checked progress of the wheat and oat harvests in central and northern counties, but unlim-. ited field work was possible in most southwestern counties. Observers in the Huntington-Fort Wayne and southwestern areas continued to report soil moisture shortages and poor pastures, despite scattered showers, while in other areas precipitation in the last two weeks was far above normal. “Combining of wheat is nearly complete, more than 90 per cent, except in a few northern counties where showers stopped combines for a few days,” the report said. “The oat harvest is about 65 per cent complete. Ordinarily, 75 per cent of the wheat and 55 per cent of the oats are Combined by this date.” About 60 per cent of the alfalfa has been cut the second time. Marked Increase In State Traffic Toll INDIANAPOLIS. (UPD— Multi-ple-fatality accidents were blamed Tuesday for a marked increase this year in Indiana’s highway toll which is running more than 90 ahead of the comparable time last year. Floyd Kline Sr., director of the Indiana Office of Traffic Safety, told the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee there had been little increase in the number of fatal accidents but there had been considerable increase in the number of accidents killing more than one person. Kline also noted that more than 50 per cent of the fatal accidents involved drivers in the age groups 26 or younger and 60 or older. Clinton Venable, h ead of the traffic division of the State Highway Department, suggested that speed limits On secondary roads might also be a factor. He said that while interstate superhighways are suited to the present state speed 1 imit of 65 miles per hour for cars, such a speed is excessive for; many secondary roads. The committee took under advisement, his suggestion that the speed limit be lowered on such roads. Governor Welsh, who called the I meeting to discuss steps to be taken to reduce the toll, urged the state officials who make up the committee to strengthen their efforts to reduce the number of highway deaths. The group also indicated it faI vored a suggestion for some sort of mechanical inspection of motor vehicles. The committee, however,, did not endorse any specific plan for such inspections.
