Eisenhower’s Foreign Aid Bill
Passes Senate 57-25 Demonstrating
Teamwork by GOPs & Democrats
WASHINGTON OP—President
Eisenhower’s $3,637,000,000 for
eign aid bill moved on to the
House Saturday, propelled by a
57-25 Senate vote.
Every effort by bands of Dem
ocratie-led opponents to trim its
totals and limits its authority to
one year was smothered in a ser
ies of roll calls that kept the Sen
ate in session until after 11 p.m.
On final passage, 26 Democrats
and 31 Republicans voted for the
•bill; 17 Democrats and 8 Republi
cans opposed it.
It as a rare demonstration of
Republican unity on a foreign
policy matter, with Sen. Know
land of California, the Republi
can leader, supporting Eisenhow
er on every issue. He sometimes
has differed with the administra
tion on foreign matters.
It also was an exhibition of
generalship by Sen. Lyndon B.
Johnson <D-Tex>, the majority
leader, in keeping many reluctant
Democrats in line.
Both held out. the possibility of
cuts in a later appropriations bill
to provide funds for the aid pro
gram. They reminded their col
leagues that the foreign aid bill
is an authorization measure, set
ting only ceilings and terms.
With Johnson and Knowland
workjjag in close harmony behind
89-year-old Chairman Green (D
RD of the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee, the bill survived
every test despite charges the
program is loaded with “give
aways,” and “waste and extrava
gance.”
Supporters of the bill said that
in arming allies and bolstering
their economies, this country is
protecting its own national se
curity.
Supervised
Playground
Now Op en
Playground equipment has been 1
installed north of the school and '
starting this morning a volunteer
pre-school supervisor will be on
duty each morning from 9:30 to
11:30 to watch over the young
sters.
This playfleld supervision, which
is under the sponsorship of the
Home Arts Club, has recruited
many mothers and volunteers
which make the program possible
md keep the children off the
streets.
Any other mothers who have
not been contacted and who
would be willing to give one or
two morning's during the summer
may call the Nugget or Jessie
Barber and leave their names and
the time most convenient for
them.
The average amount of elec
tricity in a lightning flash is far
less than the amount that can be
charged into a storage battery.

Eisenhower Makes
Draft Regulations
More Liberal
WASHINGTON UP)—President
Eisenhower Saturday liberalized
Selective Service regulations and
granted deferment from the draft
to all youths “serving satisfactor
ily” in the ready reserves of the
armed forces.
Eisenhower also provided for
defense of some hardship cases
and a few aliens.
On the recommendaiton of Se
lective Service Director Lewis B.
Hershey, Eisenhower ordered that
men giving satisfactory service
in ready reserve units will be
classed as “not available for in
duction” regardless of their age
at the time they entered the re
serve.
Until now the reservists could
be called up, if necessary, to meet
draft calls altho this was unlikely
because they served at least six
months on active duty before
joining reserve groups.
Presidential Press Secretary
James Hagerty provided no figure
for the number of men who
would be affected but indicated
the total would be relatively
small.
An executive order by Eisen
hower also provided for deferring
any registrant whose service
would “result in extreme hard
ship” to persons dependent on
him for support. This deferment
previously was available only to
those who could show that induc
tion would caused extreme hard
ship and “extreme privation” to
their dependents.
Floods Roll Over
Areas of North Italy,
Causing Great Damage
TURIN, Italy, UP)—Floodwaters
rolled over vast areas of the north
Italian lowlands Saturday, taking
at least two lives, washing away
farm buildings, isolating whole
villages and causing damage esti
mated at some $30 million.
A 30-year-old schoolteacher
drowned in a giant “mudslide”
near Demonte. A laborer drowned
while trying to fish in a flooded
stream.
Thousands of cattle were re
ported drowned and crops ruined
over hundreds of square miles.
The floods resulted from tor
rential rainstorms over the past
week—the wettest early June for
over 100 years in northern Italy.
