WASHINGTON (M) - Congress
voted one-sided approval last
night of a $4.8-billion war spend-
ing bill to reinforce the American
arsenal in South Viet Nam.
President Johnson applauded
the action-and the Senate's over-
whelming decision to uphold a res-
olution supporting his authority to
wage with American fo;'ces the
battle against Communists in
Southeast Asia.
As Johnson aimed a new peace
appeal at North Viet Nam, the
great congressional debate about
his Asian policy erupted into ac-
tion on both sides of the Capitol.
House Approval
4L First came a House vote, 392-
4, approving the war money meas-
ure.
The Senate turned down a bid
by Sen; Wayne Morse (D-Ore) to
repeal the resolution which stamp-
ed congressional approval on the
use of American force in South-
east Asia. That vote was 92-5.
Morse sought repeal of the Aug.
10, 1964, resolution in an amend-
ment to the money bill. He in-
sisted the money measure would
mean escalation of the Asian
struggle.
Then, after rejecting a proposal

of draftees in the, Vietnamese war,
the Senate passed the money
measure, 93-2.
There are minor differences be-
tween the Senate bill and the
House measure, which authorizes
$49 million more than Johnson
4 sought.
They will be reconciled before
the bill goes to Johnson. Congress
still must appropriate the money.
Approval
"The President welcomes, and
our fighting men and allies will
greatly approve, the congression-
al actions of today," said White
House press secretary Bill D. Moy-
ers.
Moyers said Johnson believes
the Senate acted responsibly in re-
jecting the motion of Sen.. Morse
to rescind the Viet Nam resolution
Congress adopted 19 months ago,
after Communist gunboats r ttack-
ed American warships in the Gulf
of Tonkin.
The White House-in an appar-
ent rebuttal to congressional crit-
ics who forecast escalation of the
war-renewed this Johnson dec-
laration: "Our measures use of
force must be continued, but this
is prudent firmness under careful
control."
The congressional action came
within two hours-after two weeks
of argument in the Senate, Cock-
pit of the debate that has swirl-
ed around Vietnamese policy
since Congress reconvened.
Only Morse and Sen. Ernest B.
Gruening (D - Alaska) v o t e d
against the war spending bill. They
were joined by three other Senate
Democrats in voting for repeal of
the resolution.

THE SOVIET NEWS AGENCY TASS ANNOUNCED yesterday that the Russian unmanned space
probe Venus 3 had reached the surface of the earth's cloud-draped sister planet. Venus 3 had been
