WASHINGTON, February 20--The Republican - controlled House sailed through a party line roll-call vote of 239 to 159 today to limit spending in the next fiscal year to $31,500,000,000, instead of following President Truman's minimum estimate of $37,500,000,000.
Divergent opinions were voiced by Democratic leader Rayburn, who said the proposed $6,000,000,000 slash would help push reluctant millions of people abroad "into the arms of Communism," and Rep. Engel (R-Mich), chairman of the Army appropriations subcommittee, who declared that if General Eisenhower and Admiral Nimitz cannot run the army and Navy efficiently on less money they "ought to stop aside and give someone else a chance."
