package appropriations bill was passed. It includes $32.5 billion _
cash and $2.1 billion in contract authorization which future Congresses will have to pay. The measure now goes to a joint com-
mittee for adjustment of differences between the. two Houses.
Othr highlights of the bill: DEFENSE—A total of $13.2 billion is earmarked for de- =
-fense purposes and $4.5 billion -
for economic and military assistance to free foreign countries. Not included in the bill are such costs as interest on the national debt and the $16 billion Presid¢nt Truman has requested for defense purposes since the start of the Korean War, ECONOMY—A' 10 per cent— about $525 million—reduction dn . nonmilitary expenditures was approved, 55-to-31. MARSHALL PLAN-—Apart from ‘the Marshall Plan loan to Spain, the Senate voted $2.7 billion_ to continue assistance ‘to the 18 countries already covered by the program. TAXES—The finance committee started work on President Truman's $5 billion tax increase requést. It took a few seconds to remove what had taken the House months to get into the. tax bill—the billiondollar cut in excise taxes. Then the Senate ordered mew 10 per
