U.S. Announces Five Year Pact For Air Bases in Saudi Arabia; Dulles Urges New Aid Approach

WASHINGTON, April 8--The United States and Saudi Arabia today announced formal agreement on the five-year airfield-for-arms pact approved last February by President Eisenhower and King Saud.

The agreement was signed at the State Department last Tuesday. It extends for five more years the authority for U.S. use of the Dhahran airfield 1,000 miles from Russia's Middle East border.

American officers will train Saudi army, navy and air personnel, both in the United States and in Saudi Arabia.

However, a ban on American Jews is continued. It was in the old agreement signed in 1951 which the new pact extends.

$750 Million Loans

WASHINGTON, April 8--Secretary of State Dulles urged a "new approach" to foreign aid today, including a special fund to loan up to 750 million dollars a year to friendly nations on easy terms.

He emphasized it would be a long-term proposition under which military aid would be transferred to the Defense Department and administered separately from economic assistance.

Civil Rights Setback

WASHINGTON, April 8--Civil rights legislation ran into a double setback in Congress today, but it appeared likely the House might reach a vote next month.

The House Rules Committee met and adjourned without acting on a motion designed to bring the legislation to a vote on the House floor.

Rep. Bolling (D-Mo), who is striving for a vote, had said earlier he could see no practical way to force committee action before the recess.
