Tidelands Bill Nearing Vote
WASHINGTON (IP The

and windiest legislative bat
tle Of’th6 v ß3rd Congress to
for final passage.
, Opponents who waged a five-week
filibuster against the administrat
ion-backed measure conceded it
would be approved by a big margin.
The House has already passed a
similar bill to give coastal states
control of offshore submerged lands
now claimed by the federal govern

Under an agreement reached last

start voting on a series of amend
ments, with the final vote expec

Final Senate approval would send
the measure to a conference com

House and Senate versions must

President Says
Foreign Aid Is
Vital To Defense
WASHINGTON OP)— Presi-
Eisenhower propose d to
Congress today a $5,800,000,-
000 foreign aid program he
said is vital for the defense
of free nations against the
“great peril” of Red aggres
sion.
The President’s program for the
fiscal year starting July 1 would
be $1,800,000,000 smaller than the
one recommended by former Pres
ident Truman in his last budget
message.
In a special message submitting
his program. Mr. Eisenhower to’.d
Congress that:
“The blunt, sober truth is that we
cannot afford to relax our defen
ses until we have seen clear, un
mistakable evidence of genuinely
peaceful purposes on the part of
! the Soviet Union.”
j Even before the message was read
! to Congress, the dr?ft of proposed
legislation detailing'the foreign aid
program had reached the Senate.
Most of the total would go for
continuing the buildup of free Eu
rope’s defenses. .But some $400,000
would be earmarked to help the
French resist Communist forces at
tacking Indo-China and other hun
dreds of millions to bolster the
China Nationalists on Formosa.
INDO-CHINA AID
Foreign aid chief Harold EStas
sen said the United States would
take over about 40 per cent of the
-cost of fighting the. war against
the Communists in Ihdo-China.
“For France approximately 40 per
cent of the cost of the Indo-China
war would be covered by contribu
tions in various forms from the
United States,” Stassen said.
As Mr. Eisenhower’s message was
being read in the House. Stassen
and Secretary of State John Fos
ter Dulles testified tor the pro
gram at a. joint meeting of the
Senate Foreign Relations and House
Foreign Affairs committees.
What the administration is ask
ing now-is an authorisation, not
appropriation. Specific sums will be
sought later to carry out the pro
gram. Dulles said it is Just poss
ible the full amount of the autho
risation will not be asked in out
right' appropriations.
But he warned that “anything
appreciably less would be darger
