The Administration hopes to restore the billion dollars cut from the Foreign Aid Bill by the House, before the measure leaves the Senate. But Senator Richard Russell, Chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, has already warned that he will try to slice another billion from the Foreign Aid appropriations. Senator Russell says he simply sees no reason why the United States should send abroad two billion dollars more this year than last.

To Secretary of the Air Force Donald A. Quarles the Soviet threat is “infinitely greater” today than ever it was in the past. Mr. Quarles told the graduating class at the Stevens Institute of Technology that the Soviet Union can no longer be regarded as a technologically backward nation: The Communists are now equal to us in scientific and engineering manpower, and in their drive for conquest they are better organized, more powerful, more cynical, and more sophisticated.
