IKE'S APPEAL
Congress Cuts Back Foreign Aid
HOUSE TAKES FIRM STAND BUT ASIAN GRANTS PASSED
Washington, June 7.
The House of Representatives today rejected a personal appeal by President Eisenhower and backed a $1,109 million cut in the foreign aid appropriation.
The vote of 192 to 112 was specifically to reject a move to add $600 million to the $3,891 million aid bill approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
This does not appear to be a particularly big advance In the direction of permanent pouce in the Middle East. yut it needs to be recognised that there exists today more favourable atmo. aphere for the composing of differences belween the Arabe and Israells, and that they are more precise. ly committed than before to maintain a ceasefire and to more effective measures for give the President virtually ic
