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.
