Congress is receiving a flood of letters urging across-th- e board cuts. Among the most vulnerable targets are the United States economic aid and United States and United Nations technical assistance programs. POSITION ON ECONOMIC AID The National Council of the League of Women Voters unanimously reaffirms strong approval of the economic to underdeveloped countries. It supports adequate appropriations for economic aid, endorses the principle of long range development funds, access to in order to keep our in- ing age dustrial plant going and our defenses strong. Its Indispensable Speaking to the Council of the League of Women Voters on May 1, President Eisenhower explained the dangers of cutting foreign aid by comparing the problem of budget cutting to the problem of reducing the costs of running an airplane.
