M Foreign Aid Amendments Resources Owned in U. S. by Foreigners Must, Be Used First WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (U.R) A move developed in the house tonight to force foreign governments who want help from the United States to use investments and other assets held by their nationals in this country. Rep. Kenneth G. Keating. R., N. Y., intends to offer two amendments to the $590,000,000 emergency foreign aid bill on Monday which he believes will accomplish that purpose. Under his proposal, the president presi-dent could shut off U. S. aid. to any nation which failed to. take advantage- of resources in this country owned by its citizens. Keating's proposal highlighted these foreign aid developments: 1. A high-ranking house Democrat, Demo-crat, Rep. Sol Bloom of New York, predicted the emergency aid bill would be passed on Monday "with no more than 25 . votes against It." House leaders hope to reach a vote late Monday but lengthy discussion on amendment might put it over a day. . 2.

Bloom said if no Republican offered a proposal to restore previous house cuts in the $597,000,000 asked by the administration, ne wouia ao so. Already slated for considera tion is an amendment .by Rep. Bartel J Jonkman, R., Mich., to trim the aid figure to $300,000,000. The senate voted to authorize the full $597,000,000 asked for stop-gap relief in France, Italy and Austria. In the house bill, the overall figure was cut to $590,000,000 and $80,000,000 was earmarked for China.
