Walker would “like to settle for” appeared brighter today. Chairman Norman Wood (R.-Lancaster) of the House Ap propriations Committee yesterday introduced a bill in the House allocating $33,849,000 to the University for the 1957-59 biennium. The bill represents a $6,135,600 increase over the $27,713,400 rec ommended in Gov. George M. Leader’s budget. The University had asked Leader to include the $33-million figure in his budget. Wood said the increased appro priation was fixed “to help Pennj State keep in line with other state colleges as far as salaries and pro-! rams were concerned.” Woodj id he and Rep. H. G. Andrews '.-Cambria) would co-sponsor te bill. Explaining the proposed in ■ease appropriation, Wood told ie Associated Press: 'Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania diversities each got between 40 td 60 per cent increases in the it budget while Penn State’s ime to about 21 per cent. It is ith this in mind that we’re pro ving a bill to keep Penn State line with other schools.” Dr. Walker appeared before a lint House and Senate Appropri :ions Committee last week and ■quested the §6 million increase. At that time, Dr. Walker said le University needs the money keep faculty salaries in line ith other schools. He termed this ie University’s “most obvious ■ed.” Dr. Walker told the legislators tat the University was not only' jsing faculty members to indus try but also to other colleges. He said that “if the University to keep a faculty equal to other md-grant colleges—and I think •e're committed to do that— •e’ve got to do something about ilaries.” Dr. Walker said the additional oney is also needed to permit raising secretarial and other em ployes’ salaries, most of which he said are below those paid state workers in the same categories. “We're aiming to meet the wages paid by the other colleges. Of course they aren’t going toj stand still. But at the present] i time, we’re only talking about meeting them,” he said. {Students Receive 2801 Polio Shots j University students have re ceived 2801 Salk polio vaccine ! shots to date, according to Dr. [Herbert R.

April 8 (/F) Secretary of State Dulles urged a “new approach” to foreign aid today, including a special fund to loan up to 750 million dollars a year to friendly nations on easy terms. He emphasized it would be a long-term proposition under which military aid would be trans ferred to the Defense Department and administered separately from economic assistance. S 4 ’/a Billion Needed Under questioning before a spe cial Senate committee studying the foreign aid problem, Dulles said-the new approach would not require any more money than the 4 Vz billion dollars now m the for eign aid budget for the fiscal year starting July 1, and might even call for "a little less.” But he made it clear he thinks the United States must continue to help other countries both mili tarily and economically in the years ahead, although perhaps at a diminishing rate. Grants Limited He recommended that outright grants of aid be limited to direct military assistance, economic help to meet “contingencies and im perative needs,” and to about 150 million dollars a year in technical assistance. Under current programs, about 80 per cent of economic develop ment funds are earmarked for loans.
