The next—or 83rd—Congress with a lot of new faces convenes Jan, 5, 1958, Daylong negotiations on two money bills which had blocked adjournment plans Saturday paid off when & compromise was reached and the Senate and then the House approved the measures just before sundown. Provisions of Bills The bills would provide: 1—511,798,776,339 to finance atomic expansion, foreign aid and military construction throughout the world. 2—DMore than half a billion dol= lars for river, harbor and flood control projects. i | With most Republicans attend= ing the GOP national convention in Chicago and many Democrats out of town, only a handful of legislators were on hand when Congress adjourned. The House quit at 5:28 p. m. (EST), the Sen~ al\ at 5:41 p. m, During the final day Democrats did not take advantage of their numerical superiority. Leaders said all actions were fully agreed on by absent GOP leaders either in advance or by telephone ealls. Major Controversy ..Major .controversy .centered around the $11,793,776,339 supple= mental money bill, which carries $2,898,800,000 for the atomiec pro= jects, $6,031,947,750 for foreign aid, and $2,140,000,000 for globe= circling military construction proe jects. When the Senate and House first deadlocked over the measure, arguing into the early hours Sun day morning, the bill provided on ly $1,450,000,000 in atomic funds. This was later boosted to two bil lions by the House as a compro= mise move but administration leaders in the Senate insisted om more. The original bill also contained a rider that many—including the President-—interpreted as barring the Atomic Energy Commission from starting any projects it didn’t have the money to com=- plete. As finally passed, the spending curb was retained in the bill. But opponents of the rider said its ef fect was offset by the additional $898,000,000 voted yesterday for the atomic commission. AEC Chairman Gordon Dean agreed. He wrote Democratic leader McFarland of Arizona that “we could proceed'with our pro= gram under a bill which appropri=- i ated such a sum $2,898,800,000 to- g tal.” : Flood Controi Bill } Also resolved was a secondary dispute over a $584,061,600 rivers and harbors and flood control bill which Congress sent to the White House just before it adjourned. Sens. Maybank (D.-S.C.) and Olin Johnston (D.-S.C.) had threatened to filibuster against it because the House had erased four million dollars the Senate had ap= proved for the Hartwell Dam on the Savannah River between South Carolina and Georgia. They dropped their fight, how= ever, after the supplemental ap propriation bill was amended to request the AEC to investigate the importance of the dam to the glant Savannah River atomie plant and submit a report to the (Continued On Page Two) | Warring GOP Factions Head Toward New (lash On Delegate Contest At Convention " " » n .

Robert A, Taft and en.. Dwight D. Eisenhower among the 1,206 delegates to this 25th Republican eonvention. The scrap over these 93 seats, involving delegations from seven states, was before the convention credentials committee in the Con= gress Hotel in downtown Chicago. Its first decision was a unanj mous one in favor of seating a ’ predominantly pro-Taft delegation of 18 from Florida. ‘ Not all of the 93 contested con= vention seats involve direet cone tests between Taft and Eisenhow= er supporters. Of these, 68 from Georgia, Lou=- isiana and Texas—ineluding 50 Taft men—were barred by the convention yesterday from voting on any seating contests until their own status is decided finally. Taft Bounced Back - Although Taft was beaten 638 to 548 on that issue by a coalition of Eisenhower’s supporters and backers of other eandidates, he bounced back to capture contrc/ of the convention’s credentials committee. This group named( former Rep. Ross Rizley of Okla homa, a Taft backer, as its chair- | man, | : Some Eisenhower leaders feared the committee would bring back to the convention—possibly today but more likely tomorrow-—a re port giving the Ohio senator the bulk of the contested delegates. They promised a bristling floor fight in that event. Thunderous Applause The feuding factions forget their differenceg temporarily last night to thunder approval of M ‘Arthur’s callfor a GOP - against steering” America into “a socialistic or even later a com munistic state.” ! They will hear former President Herbert Hoover tonight in a party unity appeal. MacArthur—a civilian keynoter for a night—won his mightiest ovation when he asserted with reference to XKorea that “it is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” At no time did MacArthur men=~ tion the name of either Eisenhower or Taft. But the overall tone of his party-rallying address was much more in line with Taft's views than those of Eisenhower. MacArthur assailed what he called the Truman administration’s “pattern of collective security agreements which, without as yet having mounted either the will or the physsical power to success fully meet agression, have divided the world into armed camps...."” Eisenhower headed the Western defense forces before he quit to become a candidate for the Re publican nomanation and he has said efforts to strengthen those defenses must continue. Varied Opinions Although Eisenhower has said there is no easy solution to the Korean conflict, MacArthur said it must be resolved “for we cannot long carry so intolerable a bur den”. He added: “We must have a leadership capable of decision, as indecision in war is but a prelude to disaster. “No military problem is unsolve able. Korea stands today as the hallowed graveyard for countless American dead. We must not let it become as well a graveyard for American hope, American faith and American honor.” Gov. John S. Fine of Pennsyl vania, who is reported to have told friendsh he would like to start a presidential boom for MacArthur in the convention, helped lead the (Continued On Page Two) M'Arthur Boom Grows Amid Strange Chaos By PETER EDSON NEA Correspondent CHICAGO -— (NEA) — Besides those who suggest Gen.

He planned to call the 106- member Resolutions Committee into closed-door session tomorrow to go over the entire platform and send it on to the convention for expected approval. Yesterday, Millikin and his aides got clearance from Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and other GOP presidential aspirants on the all-important foreign policy plank. Taft, who told newsmen he was not too keen abouv some {)oints, asked to be shown the final draft when it is ready.

One issue still was unresolved— a split report on the .civil rights stand. “We had two different proposals so we tossed away both of them and are trying to write a third,” Millikin told reporters.

Operating on $99,658,375 @uring the fiscal year which closel June 30, Congress cut their funds to 80 millions for the fiscal year which began July 1.
