Truman Tells
Congress to Up
Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON (1?) Harry S.
Truman told Congress yesterday
not to cut foreign aid, but instead
set up a bigger program on a
longer basis—and then vigilantly
police it.
At his salty best, the former
president arid onetime senator ad
vised congressmen, some of whom
are bent on cuts, that the time to
reduce mutual security is when
"you feel the situation is so bad
you first cut congressional sal
aries."
As for reports of maladminis-,
tration here and there, Truman
reminded the House Foreign Af
fairs Committee lie had been re
ferred to "as the No. 1 s.o.b. in
the United States government be
cause I kept looking into things."
"If you'll excuse my bragging,"
he said, the Senate War Spending
Investigating Committee he head
ed was credited with saving 15
billion dollars.
In a largely nonpartisan talk,
Truman generally defended a pro
gram at least as large as Presi
dent Eisenhower's $3,930,000,000
proposal. He said "most thinking
people in both parties" agreed
basically on foreign aid, although
not "the American Firsters and
the Chicago Tribune,'
He even acknowledged the for
eign aid support of the Republi
can-controlled 80th Congress of
1947-48, with which he scrapped
on domestic issues.
Expulsion of Pasternak
Called 'Trivial Affair'
COPENHAGEN (111— The ex
pulsion of Nobel Prize winner
Boris Pasternak from the Soviet
Writers' Union, was "a trivial af
fair which everybody in the West
may forget within a Jew years,"

chov.
Pasternak's disputed novel "Dr.
Zhivago" was "artistically a weak
book," the visiting author told a
news conference.

He referred to a measure sent
to the floor of the House yester
day by the Law and Order Com
mittee. It would allow the refer
endum to be put on the ballot at
the November general election.
"I'll not sign a bill like that,"
Lawrence asserted.
"It would interfere with the
election," he added.
"I will not 'have it (the r
dum bill) interfere with the gen
eral election," Lawrence said.
Meanwhile. Rep. C harl e s
Mills (D-Westmoreland), chair- 1
man of - the Law and Order Corn-,
mittee, said. the bill would be,
changed to conform to the gover
nor's position.
"We'll have it amended," said
Mills. "We'll amend it on the floor
Wednesday to put it (the referen
dum) off until the Primary Elec
tion in 1960."
The measure could come to a
final vote next Monday with
amendments.
Mills predicted there would be
;more than the necessary 106 House

Jordan Prime Minister
Resigns, Pleads ill Health
AMMAN, Jordan(4l—Samir,
Rifai, the pro-western strong
man behind King Hussein's
often shaky throne, resigned
as prime minister yesterday
pleading ill health.
The action may foreshadow
restoration of closer relations
with the United Arab Republic.
The King apparently felt his
own hold on the country was
strong enough to accept the resig
nation, which came as a surprise.
He had refused several times be
fore to let Rifai step down.
Hussein asked Hazza Majali,
minister of court, to form a new
government. He already has be
gun consultations. Majali said he

a new government today.
In a royal letter, Hussein in
structed Majali to maintain the
present anti-Comm unis t policy
and seek friendly relations With
sister Arab states.
The new Premier is known for
his pro-Western policies. He was
prime minister once before, for
less than a week. Forming his
government at that time he advo
cated joining the Baghdad Pact.
His brief tenure, in December
1955, ended when street mobs
raged through Amman demand
ing Jordan side with U.A.R. Pres
ident Gamel Abdel Nasser and
stay out of the Baghdad Pact.
Jordanian membership in the
pact is now considered out of the
question since Iraq no longer be
