...Irish amendment (see below). The economy bloc did succeed in cutting $250 million from the Administration's proposed EGA appropriation, and pruned $20 million from the President's Point Four program. The foreign-aid bill as it finally passed the House totaled $3.1 billion: EGA, $2.85 billion; Korean aid, $100 million; China and contiguous areas, $100 million; Arab refugee relief in Palestine, $27.4 million; Point Four, $25 million. Next stop: the Senate...
...vote, the House had blocked the Korean aid program three weeks earlier, in perverse and illogical retaliation for the State Department's refusal to extend aid to the Chinese Nationalists on Formosa. Secretary of State Dean Acheson made some hasty trips to Capitol Hill, agreed to spend $10.5 million or less on Formosa from some leftover ECA funds in return for funds for South Korea, a U.S. ward perilously adjoining the Soviet puppet regime of North Korea.

Last September Korea's government plunked down $18,000 of hard-won cash to buy a sturdy little 175-ft. patrol craft, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy's training ship Ensign Whitehead. A crew of 16 Korean officers was flown to New York to bring her home. They rechristened her the Bak Dusan, studied her vagaries in a two-week orientation course at the academy, painted her white sides a dark battleship grey, and set sail for the Pacific...
...House vote than the Senate Republicans, who had been blaming Acheson for doing too little too late. Their anchor man, California's hefty, well-tailored Bill Knowland, said tersely: "Korea will get its help at this session." Administration strategists decided to send through a new version of the Korean aid bill, and hoped to get it passed...
