WASHINGTON, ( J T A ) —An
amendment to the Mutual
Security bill requiring that the
President be "satisfied" and re=
ceive commitments" that United
States arms aid would not be
used agressively against any na-
tion was defeated on the floor
of the House of Representatives.
The amendment was introduced
by Rep. James Roosevelt, Cali-
fornia Democrat.
A suggestion that the bill
state that no military assistance
be given to any of the Arab
countries "unless substantially
equal military assistance is
furnished to Israel," and urging
the Government to conclude a
mutual defense pact with
Israel, was offered for House
consideration in an address by
Congressman Victor L. Anfuso,
New York Democrat.
