SENATE RESTORES NEARLY ALL CUTS IN FOREIGN AID
(N.Z.P.A.—Reuter— Coyyrisht.) (10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, June 16. The Seriate last night approved of a measure to provide 6,125,710,228 dollars in foreign aid, and returned it to the House for conferences. The Senate, by 64 votes to 15, decided to restore most of the cuts made by the House. The Senate’s figure is only 245,000,000 dollars short of the appropriation requested by the Administration for the first year of the European recovery programme and other foreign aid programmes. The Senate, however, reduced, the appropriation for the United Nations' Children’s Emergency Fund by cutting the House’s grant of 60,000,000 dollars to 20,000,000 on the ground that too much of the fund is going behind the "iron curtain.”
