today at the Idaho State Peni

Saturday. Warden L. E. Clapp
and other officials surveyed the
estimated $15,000 damage caused
by 300 convicts who barricaded
themselves in the recreation hall

of the other rioters in their cells.
Some were released to start clean

Gov. Len Jordan did not say
what, if any, action the state
would take against the rioters.
The tear gas barrage was laid

the prisoners ignored Clapp’s or
ders to return to their cells. He
refused to give in to any of the j
rioters’ demands and wiped out ;

Official Sees House Cuts
In Foreign Aid Crippling
To Defense of Europe
WASHINGTON, (IF)— A high
administration official declared
Saturday that House-voted cuts
in President Truman’s foreign
aid program would prevent the
North Atlantic Treaty countries
from reaching their 50-division
goal in Europe this year unless
the United States made up the
difference.
W. John Kenney, deputy dir
ector of the Mutual Security
Agency, declared the reductions
made by the House Friday night
when it passed a big foreign aid
bill would have “a crippling ef
fect on the defense of Europe” if
voted also by the Senate. The
administration was working hard
to get the Senate to restore part
of the money.
The measure, as passed by the
House Friday night 245 to 110,
carried authorizations totalling
$6,162,600,000. That was $1,737,
400,000 less than the administra
tion originally asked.
