More funds to be
asked for medical
research, schools
WASHINGTON I/P) The ad
ministration announced today
it wi)ll ask congress for funds
to finance a major expansion in
medical research.
Secretary of welfare Folsom
did not give a dollar amount,
but told a news conference an
increase of 25 to 30 per cent
will be asked in present funds
for research programs of the
Public Health Service.
Folsom said the administra
tion also will recommend:
1. A new program of federal
assistance to medical and den
bal schools and nonprofit re
search institutions for construe
tion of research, training and
teachinlg facilities. Grants for
this program would be on a 50
50 matching basis. Folsom de
clined to estimate the cost.
2. a “considerable increase”
in federal grants for school
construction. Again he did not
say how much. The present pro
gram calls for 200 million dol
lars in a three year period.
These grants, for public sch
ools generally, would be made
on the basis of matching funds
from the states under the pre
sent program.
Folsom also said he will re
commend the reappointment of
Dr. Leonard A. Scheele as U.S.
surgeon general. Scheele’s four
year term ends in April.

[Dulles calls for more money
to back foreign aid campaign
,Wants 200 million
more lor use
next year
WASHINGTON (JP) Secret
ary of state Duties announced
today the administ ration wants
to step uip its foreign aid spend
mg by 200 million dollars next
year, and will ask congress for
a $4,900,000,000 appropriation.
All of the contemplated in
crease in spendinlg. would be for
economic help — a field in
which Russia has recently sho
wn great ad ivity.
Alluding to tlhies Soviet activi
ty. Dulles said the United States
“seeks no monopoly in render
ing economic assistance,” but
declared “it would seem unna
I tural for the Soviet rulers to
provide economic aid to other
peoples when the peoples they
already rule 'are themselves in
dire need.”
He added:
“We hope that Soviet econ
omic aid is not offered as a
Trojan Horse to penetrate, and
then take over, independent
countries.”
Dulles told . . 2nd graph . '
Dulles told a news confer
ence he regretted very much a
misunderstanding which he
said had given congressional
leaders the impression that
the program to be sulbmit ed
Red veto of Japan
was for bargaining
advantages |
WASHrNGTOJN l/V) Secret
ary of state Dulles accused
Russia today of vetoing Japan s
application for United Natioss
membership in order to gain
bargaining advantages at Lon
don peace talks between the
two countries.
The secretary told his news
conference the Soviet veto of
Japan is wrong legally and
morally.
j Asked if he though: it likely
i Japan would gain admission to
j the international organization
next year, Dulles replied he did
not like guessing games. Rut
he said Russia’s use of the veto
was a very bad violation of he
United Nation's charter.
He said it is a charter viola
tion for one nation to exclude
another through use of the vef o
power in order to gain an ad
vantage in a trading matter.
Du'lles said it is his opinion
the Russians are trying to drive
a bard bargain with Japan in
World War II peace treaty ne
gotiations in London. The talks
in recess now, are expected to
resume in January.
Japan has sought the return
of island possessions — such as
the Kuriles. Sakhalin. Habo
mai and Shikotan — before re
sunning normal diplomatic rela
tions. The Japanese also are
. seeking an agreement on the re
■ turn of war prisoners.

same as that voted this year.
Dulles said the new money
request to be laid before con
gress will cover bd h military
and economic and that the
jump of about $2,700,000,000
over this year’s program is to
be explained in large part by
a need to keep the pipeline of
military supplies full
He drew a district ion be
ween appropriations and pros
pective expenditures, explain
ing actual spending on foreign
aid will be only 200 million dol
lars more than the present fis
cal year, ending next June 30.
The money appropriated, but
not to be spent in -the new fis
cal year, would <*dd to the re
serve of foreign aid sipending
authority for use in future
years. It would raise this to
about seven bdlllion dollars.
Ahead of Dulles’ news con
ference ilt had become known
the administration was plan
ning a request for nearly five
billion dollars for foreign aid.
Several congress members
indicated they would want to
give it a very critical examin
