(AP)- President Kennedy Saturday urged Congress in this "climactic hour" to restore cuts in foreign aid funds, to bolster the global fight for freedom.

Billions spent, for defense will mean little in the end if the world's, developing nations topple into communism, Kennedy said. The Cape Cod White House issued a. statement in which the chief executive cited former President Dwight D. Eisenhower's support of ample funds to assist needy countries. Fund Cut Made Congress authorized $4.25 billion for the program this year, but the House Appropriations Committee Friday approved an actual money outlay of only $3.35 billion.

initially had sought more than $4.7 billion. He appealed to Congress to. appropriate funds "of a magnitude as close as possible to the original Both he and Eisenhower were convinced that request represented the minimum necessary to meet the country's responsibilities, Kennedy said. House Action Helped With the $4.25 billion ceiling applied in the sum authorized by Congress, it would be impossible now to provide all the money Kennedy at first asked. But his obvious hope was that the House, in which appropriations bills start through Congress, would rebuff the committee and put up money of as close a magnitude as pos-.

Mrs. Kennedy and daughter Caroline were among those aboard the cruiser Marlin, which stayed out more than twice as long as aides said Kennedy had allotted for his favorite vacation pastime. For a good part of the morning Kennedy was on the phone, con ferring with Cabinet officers and White House advisers in Washlington. The major topic was the impact- physical and psychological -of the Soviet nuclear test shot.

Foreign aid also was understood to have been discussed in the longdistance conferences. Kennedy has shown more concern and is believed to have taken more -of personal hand in pushing his aid program than on any other piece of legislation in this session of Congress.
