Jet Henrietta Boy Drowns; Youngster Goes Under In Cattaraugus Pond ATOMIC TEST SITE, July 19 (AP) The age oi atomic air deiense flashed into being today with the firing of the first air-to-air rocket with a nuclear warhead from a jet fighter plane. The Air Defense Command called the advent of its powerful weapon a success with these statements: Col. Hershel E. Parson, deputy to the test manager for military affairs "The firing was fully successful, Aid Bill Cut By 727 Million In House Vote WASHINGTON, July 19 (JP) The House tonight passed a $3,116,833,000 foreign aid authorization bill, cut $727,800,000 below President Eisenhower's request. Passage was by a 254-154 roll call vote.

The vote climaxed a week of hot debate over the overseas aid program in which the House also voted down major Eisenhower proposals to put the aid program 6n a long term basis. The bill now goes to Senate-House conference for compromise with a Senate-passed bill much closer to Eisenhower's original request. The Senate cut only 375 million dollars from the administration bill and it approved some long term aid authority.

The pond, about 300 by 100 feet, is six feet at the deepest point. Oxygen Used Volunteer firemen from Randolph and East Randolph used oxygen for an hour in unsuccessful efforts to revive the boy. A coroner's verdict of accidental drowning was returned.

The Hudsons father, mother, Jerry, Janet and Kevin, 17 months arrived at the Hedges farm Wednesday.
