The Mutual Security Bill, containing $66,380,000 for the relief of Jewish refugees in Israel plus $3,000,000 in technical assistance for the state, moved to the Senate floor today, but was referred to the Senate Armed Services Committee for further study. Meanwhile, the House Foreign Affairs Committee met to decide on a House version of the measure.
