Page 10 Sen. Taft Urges Of Any Foreign By JACK BELL WASHIINGTON — Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) today urged that the Senate postpone any further cuts fo the administration’s $5,318,000,- 00 foreign aid program until later action by its appropriations com- mittee. In advance of the opening of de- bate on the program today, the Ohioan said in an interview he feels the place to make any fight for fund reductions will come when the Senate considers a bill for ac- tually providing the money which would be authorized in the pending measure. The Senate foreign relations com- mittee approved the authorization bill, which would set a ceiling on the amount of military and tech- Mical assistance to be given U. S. allies. Taft said he believes the appropriations committee headed by Sen. Bridges (R-NH) is in a “much better position” to decide how much money actually should | be spent. “The appropriations group has @ more adequate grasp of where @uts can be made,”. Taft said. “It can make its decision after it finds out just what funds are left unspent from previous years.” The Joint Committee on Reduc-| tion of Federal Expenditures, head- ed by Sen, Byrd (D-Va), reported yesterday that on April 1 there was $12,700,000,000 in unexpended bal- ances in appropriations made to the President, mostly in foreign aid. Taft said he expects the Senate to write into the bill a provision giving President Eisenhower au- thority to withhold funds from THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, June 29, 1953 Postponing Aid Fund Cats U. S. allies who fail to take neces- sary steps to shape up their own defenses. This would replace a provision in the House-approved $4,998,000,- 000 foreign aid bill under which a billion dollars would be withheld | until six Western European nations ratify the European Defense Com- munity (EDC) treaties clearing the way for formation of a unified army. Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala) said he and other Democrats may offer an amendment under which the Presi- dent would be given authority to dispose of U. S. crop surpluses abroad and take payment in for- | eign currencies.

POPE’S GIFT ANNOUNCED | GENEVA, Switzerland (7 — The International Red Cross committee announced Saturday receipt of a gilt of $10,000 from Pope Pius XII. The Vatican secretariat of state advised the committee Pope Piuz, “in spite of the innumerable bur- dens laid upon the Holy See, wished |to give tangible token of his good will towards the international com- | mittee.” | near Farmers’ Interest Urged Before Any Campaign Pledges NEW YORK — A top Eisen- hower administration farm official said today it is more important to save farmers from ruinously low Prices than to carry out campaign Promises to reduce the govern- ment’s role in agriculture. President John H. Davis of the Agriculture Department’s $6,750,- 000,000 Commodity Credit Corpo- ration said iarmers are in a crisis because of decling markets and falling incomes. This makes it necessary, he said, that the government “‘put into full gear” the farm programs that ex- ist under present legislation. Even though these laws have “‘weakness- es,” he said, there is not time to change them to meet the Present | emergency, Davis made these statements in| a speech prepared for a meeting of the American Seed Trade Associa- tion. “Granting that the present farm program has weaknesses, certain- ly this is no time to hold back and quibble about such weaknesses,” he said. “This is the time to put first things first. This is the time for action to make price supports effective despite the shortcomings of the tools ahead.” Davis said there is no doubt that, if present price support programs were not in effect, agriculture would be in a depressed condition similar to that of the thirties. The CCC president laid part of the blame for the present farm surplus problem on the previous Democratic administration. He said rigid restrictions on production will be needed next year and: pos- sibly the year after. “But this is the price we have to pay for the mistakes of former years in not making necessary ad- Cy AY.
