t Foreign Aid Work Nears Completion Washington in The House Foreign Affairs com mittee today neared comple tion of work on President Eisenhower's foreign aid pro gram which it trimmed in a frank effort to avoid heavier slashes later. The President asked S3, 900,000,000 for overseas eco nomic, military and technical aid in the coming year. In a series of votes Wednesday the committee trimmed a rela tively small total of $339 mil lion from the major items. It was expected to complete ac tion today on remaining sec tions, i Committee Chairman Thomas E. Morgan (D.-Pa.) told newsmen the committee made the cuts to strengthen its position when it takes the bill to the floor within the next week or two. Morgan said proposals for much larger cuts in the pro gram were defeated by size able margins. ' MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday. April 24, 1958 5 In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Politics-as-practiced note in the news: Former President Truman blames the administration's tight money policy for the re cession. The ex - Democratic chief executive said ' in a speech in Washington that the "tight money policy was used to ROB the ordinary citizens and PAY OFF political obli gations to the gigantic financiers." HMMMMM. Did he mean it? Of course not! Then, one might ask, WHY DID HE SAY IT? TITELL, here we are at the " beginning of what prom ises to be a red-hot political campaign, and when the mo ment came for Harry to say something that just seemed to him to be a good thing to say So he said it. That's H.S.T. for you. THAT brings up something else. At Asilomar. at a confer ence sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Northern Callifornia, a panel of nation ally recognized authorities on radiation and nuclear fallout has been discussing possible dangers from continued nu clear weapon tests. In the course of the discus sions Arnold Kramish, a re search physicist for one of America's large corporations, criticised the press for not 'educating" the public on in formation released by the Atomic Energy Commission. He added: "The AEC has unclassified (that is, turned loose from cen sorshiD) a great amount of ma terial that the neople can get just for the asking. It is NOT the government s fault that the people do not understand the situation. 117HY don't the people under- stand it? The press has certainly quoted the authorities at great length and in copious volume including the assertion .that radiation from the average il luminated dial wrist watch probably involves more radia tion danger to the average person than the average fall out from the average test of nuclear weapons. Here is one reason: In this world, the things THAT AIN'T SO are usually so much more fascinating than the things that ARE so. FOR example: There's the "brilliant ob ject" that flashed across the sky down in Dixie the other night. It was sighted by a number of pilots and scores of ground observers. Most of them agreed it was traveling high, fast and in a southerly direction. Several witnesses said it seemed to explode near Atlanta. One of them testified that it exploded with such brilliance that it blinded him. 1THAT was it? T I imagine that most competent scientists would agree that it was a meteor probably an unusually large one. But it's SO MUCH MORE FASCINATING to believe that it was something sent over us by the Russians or that maybe it was one of Dad dy Warbucks' flying saucers. In the same way. it's so much MORE EXCITING to contend that fallout from the testing of nuclear weapons may destroy the world. GLOVES OFF New York W Members of the police Juvenile Aid Bureau were under orders to day to put an iron fist into the velvet glove treatment of teen-agers. Police Commis sioner Stephen Kennedy said a 100-man task force will op perate in troubled areas to curb gang wars. Members of the force "will let the kids know they are not their dad dies or big brothers," Kennedy said.
