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-

Mrs. R. T. B. Our daughter
shocks us.
Alice I can't wait for Prince
Charming.
Mrs. R. T. 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

tion of his personality, 'she will
be building a home of hate and
bitterness and not one of com
fort and security.
This is not even a case of "mar
riage on the rebound," for Alice
has not begun to rebound from
her bitter disappointment.

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.
