AUGUST 24, 1958 THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR SECTION A PAGE SEVEN $3.2 Billion In Foreign Aid OK'd Amount Is Less Than Ike Had Asked (Continued from Page One) up over legislation to permit the diversion of more Lake Michigan water by Chicago. Opponents said they were determined to keep the bill from coming to a vote, even if they had to talk indefinitely. The big preadjournment battle was over foreign aid. Sen. Allen J.

Ellender (D-La) launched a two-hour attack on the whole program and then fired off two futille amendments to cut 150 million dollars out of the bill before the Senate acted. His first move, to lop 100 million dollars off the $1,515,000,000 military aid section, was defeated by a 45-36 roll call vote. The second, to trim the 790 million dollar economic defense support section by 50 million dollars, went down to a 41-36 defeat. Ellender was joined in his attack by Sen. Richard B.

Russell (D-Ga), chairman of the Armed Services Committee. Russell told the Senate foreign aid has become permanent part of our government" and added: "I don't know how we'll ever get rid of it." Once the Senate's foreign aid fight was settled things moved along a little more rapidly. One snag developed in efforts to compromise the foreign aid bill, but this was finally settled. A group of Republican senators tried to. attach a "please economize" note to Eisenhower on the $6,090,156,900 independent offices appropriation the last money bill of the session but they failed to win enough backing.

The Republicans sought to insert an amendment requesting the President to save at least 2 per cent of the money Congress has appropriated for defense, and to cut all other appropriations by at least 4 per cent. It was a sort of postscript to the string of money bills passed by Congress. Under the rules, the GOP motion required a two-thirds vote of approval but its sponsors failed to muster even a majority. The roll call was 30-45 against them. The independent offices bill, financing a variety of federal agencies including the Veterans Administration, was vetoed by Eisenhower Aug.

4 because it contained a 589-million-dollar allotment for the civil service retirement fund. Eisenhower said this was not needed, especially in a year when the government is faving big deficit. Congress re-passed the bill without the civil service allotment but with several new items, all of which the administration has approved. Among these was a 40-million-dollar fund to finance the start of the four-year aid to education program which received final congressional approval Saturday. The Senate voted $53,300,000 for the education program but the House cut it to an even 40 million and that figure prevailed.

A last-minute effort to revive housing legislation failed to get off the ground. Sens. John Sparkman (D-Ala) and Homer E. Capehart (R-Ind) tried without success to get a stripped down $800,200,000 federal housing and community facilities bill moving. Housing Administrator Albert Cole said the revised bill was not acceptable to the Eisenhower administration.

Last Monday the House killed a Senate-passed housing bill which was opposed by the administration. The United States Coast Guard was founded in 1790. It was proposed by Alexander Hamilton, then George Washington's secretary of the treasury. Highlights Of 85th Congress WASHINGTON, Aug.

105 82 Yank Youth, Soviet Halt Chess Match PORTOROZ, Yugoslavia, Aug. 23 (P) Fifteen-year-old Fischer of New York and Russian champion Mikhail Talj in one of the most exciting matches of the interzone chess tournament Saturday without reaching a decision. Their 12th round match was adjourned by Fischer. For a long time the position was balanced and both masters played for victory. At one time Fischer had a draw but he didn't want it.

Experts, however, believe the young American should have contented himself with a draw and believe that now Fischer will have to fight for draw. The Soviet masters are known for excellent domestic analysis of adjourned matches. They have several seconds who do the job for them. Fischer also has a second but he is away attending the chess federation congress and Bobby will have to do his own analysing. Hungarian refugee Benkoe, playing for the U.S.

Chess Federation, drew with Soviet master Tigran Petrosyan after 21 moves. James Sherwin of the U.S. and Hector Rossetto of Argentina also played an adjourned match with the probability it will end in a draw. OBITUARIES BONIFACIO O. PEREZ Bonifacio 0.
