GOP Foreign Aid Proposal Faces Congressional Battle

WASHINGTON ' I P * - Senate Republican Leader William F.j Know land said today that foreign j aid and reciprocal trade, two of President Eisenhower's key legis-lative proposals, are in for stiff fights in Congress.

But the California senator pre-! dieted both will pass in some form although possibly in weaker form than the President wants.

At the same time Knowland toldj reporters he is unswerving in hiSj opposition to continued military or economic aid to Marshal Tito's Yugoslav Communist government. Knowland left his GOP leader's chair last year to lead an unsuc-cessful fight against aid to Tito. Military aid to Yugoslavia has since been scrapped but economic help apparently will continue.

The Republican Senate leader made the statements as the Sen-ate Foreign Relations Committee, of which he is a member, pre-pared to question George V. Allen, President Eisenhower's nominee for director of the U.S. Informa-tion Agency, about his plans for the agency.

The President has asked for in-

creased funds for the USIA which ran into considerable congression• al criticism last year when it was headed by Arthur Larson, so-1 called philosopher of "modern Re-publicanism."

Allen's nomination was not ex-! pected to have serious trouble in the Senate.

Eisenhower has stressed the need for foreign aid, expansion of the reciprocal trade program and expansion of the Information Agency as key points in the U.S. counter-offensive to Russia's eco-nomic and psychological ad-vances.
