Church Agencies Would Double Food Shipments if Money Voted Washington GJ.R) Church sponsored relief agencies plan to double their free shipments of surplus American food to the hwigry families overseas during th coming year if foreign aid chief John B. Hollister will let them IT. 8. voluntary agencies, such as Church World Service, Cath olic Relief Services and the Jew ish Joint Distribution Commit tee, have sent abroad about 800,- 000,000 pounds of butter, cheese, flour, rice, corn products, dried milk and other surplus farm commodities during the current fiscal year. These foods, donated to the agencies by the Agricultural De partment out of its 58,000,000,- 000 hoard of farm surplus, have supplemented the near-starva tion diets of upwards of 10,- 000,000 families in 67 countries Among otner tnmgs, the pro gram has provided a glass of milk a day for millions of for eign children. Jjunng the new fiscal year which starts July 1, the agencies hope to step up the program sharply, with total shipments of more than 1,500,000,000 pounds. Even that much food, they say, would barely begin to meet the needs of the millions of "chron ically hungry" families in other lands. Free Food Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson has told the agencies they can have all of the surplus foods they can haul away. That's where Hollister comes into the picture. Hollister's International Coop eration Administration, is auth orized by law to pay ocean freight on surplus foods donated to private relief groups by the Agriculture Department. The relief agencies asked for "minimum" of $25,000,000 for ocean freight in the coming fiscal year. But Hollister, before transmitting the request to Con gress, cut the figure to $12,000, 000. .. Religious leaders told the House Foreign Affairs commit tee earlier this month that this cut was so "drastic" as to amount to a "denial of our concern for our fellow men in need." They said that it would wreck their hopes of sharply expanding the "share our surplus" program. The agencies originally asked for $17,000,000 for fiscal 1956. Hollister approved only $9,500, 000. Request Cut Last spring, when church lead ers asked for an extra $7,500, 000 in ocean freight funds to take advantage of the Agricul ture Department's offer of un limited quantities of grains, Hol lister granted $3,000,000. This money was diverted from other other aid programs under Hollis ter's discretionary powers. He said that was all he" could spare in view of "the many other de mands of an important nature on our available funds." Church leaders then set out to remove any question of availa bility of funds. With some dis creet but highly effective Iqbby ing, they got both the Senate and the House to write into the new farm bill a provision auth orizing payment of ocean freights on private relief ship ments out of a special Agricul ture Dpnartmpnt filnr? ear.marV. ed for government surplus dis posal projects. For good meas ure, this fund was boosted from $300,000,000 to $500,000,000. When both chambers of Con gress approved this clause with out dissent, some religious lead ers thought their battle was won. But their elation may have been premature. Back To Hollister The agencies' requests for ocean freight funds still must go through, and be approved by, Hollister's office. The man in Hollister's agency who has charge of screening these re quests is a career government employee named William H. Mc Cahon. The United Press asked Mc Cahon whether, in the light of the new congressional action, the International Cooperation I yond that." Administration would now be disposed to grant the full $25, 000,000 sought by the voluntary agencies. He replied that this was high ly improbable. While the ICA might consider raising the freight fund from $12,000,000 to about $18,000,000 during fiscal 1956, he said, "It won't go be- The Family Council Editor'!

B My daughter, Alice, has astounded and outrag ed me with her attitude on mar riage. She was very much in love with a young man who was willing enough to go out with her but made it plain at all times that he would never marry her. I always wanted her to drop this young man, but Alice persisted in hoping that he would change. Recently, this young maij ran off with another girl and mar ried her without even telling Alice about it. Now she proposes to marry another young man whom she had previously reject ed with scorn. I asked her if she had changed her feelings about thfs fellow, but she braz enly tells me that she is tired of working and living home and would rather marry a man she doesn't love than plod ahead as she has been doing. Alice I was very much in love, and it gotme nothing but grief. I'm tired of the life I've been living and I have an op portunity to change. I do not see why I should insist on be ing a martyr for hopeless love. Harry knows that I am not in love with him. He has always assured me that this will make no difference. He can give me a good home and I, apparently, can give him what he wants. I want to go ahead with it and I do not see that my parents have any right to stop me when they can offer me nothing in ex change. I am now 25, and I do not feel that I can sit back and wait for a Prince Charming. I am willing to settle for Harry, and if I regret the bargain after wards, I will not blame my parents. The Council There is noth ing wrong with a clear-headed marriage in which each under stands the needs of the other. There is nothing wrong with "practicality," and it is not es sential that Alice be infatuated with Harry. Many happy mar riages are based on sound calcu lation. What is wrong here is that Alice is not merely being "prac tical," but is actually shutting out love. Certainly a girl of 25 should know better than to be lieve a man who says before marriage that he will be content without the love of his wife. He may think he is being honest with himself, but experience am ply teaches that a man wants more than a utilitarian arrange ment with his wife. If Alice were to say that she feels respect and affection for Harry, there would be some hope for the marriage. But she does not appear to have any pos itive feeling for him of any de gree. She puts all the emphasis on her resentment at losing love and her desire for comfort and security. Unless she can come to Harry with some degree of apprecia- n Typing 75 Table With Each Portable TYPEWRITER (Limited Time Only!)

This is not even a case of "mar riage on the rebound," for Alice has not begun to rebound from her bitter disappointment. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Blind Fisherman Found Not Guilty Taf t, Ore. U.R) S. P. Arnold, a blind World War I pensioner, was found innocent of an illegal fishing charge yesterday in Jus tice Court and spectators crowd ed into the local fire hall ap plauded. Arnold had been arrested East er Sunday morning by State Pa trolman Everett Hockema and charged with fishing with a set line. Arnold's attorneys, John Casey of Portland Roy Kilpat rick of Canyon City, argued the line was legal. The trial lasted more than two hours but the jury was out only a short time. Arnold fishes in Devils lake from a boat which he propels by tugging on a heavily weighted line sunk in the water. The state contended that hooks attached to the line at the time of his arrest constituted a set line. Arnold, who was instrumental in 1935 in getting a bill through the Legislature giving free life time fishing licenses to the blind, contended the method was legal. Vial Breaks; 10 Exposed To Polio Washington (U.PJ A bottle containing almost a quart of deadly live polio virus broke Thursday night aboard a pas senger plane exposing 10 air line employes to possible infec tion. Seventeen cartons of quart sized vials filled with virus were loaded on the Capital Airlines plane at National Airport. The broken vial was spotted 33 minutes later when the plane arrived at Friendship Airport outside of Baltimore, Md. An airline spokesman said the plane's pilot, co-pilot and hostess and seven me.i who loaded the virus on the plane were given shots of gamma globulin and Salk polio vaccine. He said no passengers were aboard during the Washington Baltimore flight and 22 passen gers aboard during a subsequent flight to Pittsburgh were not ex posed. The plane was grounded at Pittsburgh for decontamination'. The vial apparently was broken when the carton it was in was dropped during loading at Washington, he said. The spokesman said the 400 pound consignment was being shipped to Johns Hopkins Uni versity by the Parke Davis Co. Head-on Collision Kills Young Worker Ontario, Ore. (U.R) A 19-year-old construction worker was killed 10 miles north of here yesterday in a head-on collision between two trucks. Dead is Lee Webb of Baker, driver of a sprinkler truck. Jack Willhite, 40, Boise, driver of the other truck, was in Holy Rosary hospital in Ontario suffering from broken ribs and internal injuries. The accident occurred late yesterday on a cutoff on highway 30 from Huntington to Ontario being built by Rogers Construc tion Co., employer of both men involved in the crash. Heavy dust apparently ob scured both drivers' vision.
