Solon Says JFK Plans Aid Slash WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen ate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey said Tuesday he ex pects President Kennedy to cut his original $4.9 billion foreign aid request by an amount "hon estly attributable" to the Clay Committee report. Humphrey said the report "for tifies some of the doubts in Con gress about foreign aid and will bring about some reduction in ap propriations." He indicated that he expected the President's reduction to ex ceed tile $200 million already forecast as likely. Humphrey said that "I would not expect the appropriation this year to be less than that of last year ($3.9 billion). But I predict the Clay report will result in a reduction in the President's re questhonestly attributable to the Clay report." He said he thought it would be "good sense" to do this. Speak ing to reporters after today's Democratic leadership conference with Kennedy. Humphrey said that "I don't think the Clay report can be ignored. In a related development, For eign Aid Director David E. Bell gave his endorsement to the Clay report. It recommended stricter standards in insisting on "self help" free enterprise econom ic policies by countries receiving aid and the curtailment of non essential programs. Bell, answering questions be fore the Magazine Publishers As sociation, said he thought the judgments, policies and attitudes expressed in the Clay report were "sound, appropriate and proper." "We do not have any substan tial differences of judgment on the 'main lines of recommen dations the committee made," he said. Congressional supporters of for eign aid feared that the program might be on the way to a rec ord cut. Lighter Side: Thumbs Get Workout On Postmasters Wit Swiss Plan Food Lift To Typhoid-Hit Resort ZERMATT. Switzerland il'Pl Swiss authorities today were re ported considering a "food lift" of uncontaminated supplies into this popular ski resort which has been turned into a "ghost town by a typhoid fever epidemic. Nearly 200 persons, including at least one American tourist, have Cloudburst Threatens New Floods Double Tax Bill Passed OLYMPIA HIPP - Legislation designed to end the "double tax ation" of trucks engaged in in terstate business between Wash ington. Oregon and Idaho was passed by the Washington Senate Tuesday. The bill was sent to the House. The measure requires out - of slate truckers to pay Washington's 7 1-2 cent a gallon gasoline tax on fuel in their tanks when they cross the state line. Bui it permits Washington truckers to deduct from the taxes they pay in this state the amount of any highway users taxes paid in other states. The bill would thus automatic ally remove any double taxation of Washington truck lirms. Ore gon and Idaho woukj have to pass similar laws to relieve their truck companies o( the necessity of paying taxes twice. Present Washington law requires payment of taxes by out-o(-slatc truckers when they come into Washington. But the sponsor of the bill. Sen. Nat Washington. D Ephrata, explained that collection methods are inefficient and "we aren't getting the taxes we should." By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI '-The rest of my body may not be anything that the Kennedy administration would endorse, but I do have well conditioned thumbs. I keep them in shape by thumb ing through magazines, which is a more stimulating exercise than twiddling and is more socially ac ceptable than thumbing the nose. As I was giving my thumbs a workout one evening recently, my attention was gaffed by the title of an article in the magazine I was warming up on. Postmaster Called "Wittiest" "The wittiest man in Washing ton," it- said, and I naturally paused there to see upon whom the accolade had been bestowed. Somewhat to my surprise, the re cipient turned out to be Post master General J. Edward Day. If anyone had polled me on the question, I would have voted for Internal Revenue Commissioner Mortimer M. Caplin, who at this time of year can hand you laugh a minute. As a sample of the postmaster general's wittiness, the magazine ilea a remark Day made one night when a strong breeze was playing hob with feminine hairdos at some kind of function. Day said he wished he had the comb concession. That is truly a witticism, all right, and I guess it proves that Day deserves the "wittiest man" title. I doubt that even Caplin could top that. Groups Takes Testimony At any rate, the article, aroused mure than my usual amount of interest in the testimony taken this year by the House subcom mittee on post office appropria tions. The transcript of the hearings was released today and I eagerly leafed through a copy to see if I could find any more of Day's witticisms. At the same lime, of course, my thumbs got a good limbering up. I will have to say that I was disappointed, although I really don't blame Day for not wasting his witticisms on the subcommit tee, which probably wouldn't have appreciated them anyway. But if he was short on witticisms Day certainly was long on abbre viations, which are short for the programs he has instituted at the Post Office Department. Among others he mentioned NIMS (Nationwide Improved Mail Service). ABCD (Accelerated Busi ness Collection Delivery), VMD! (Vertical Mail Delivery), WMS (work Measurement System), POMSIP (Post Office Management and Service Improvement Pro gram I and ZIP (Zone Improve ment Plan). Mindszenty Visit Noted BUDAPEST, Hungary (UPD The U. S. legation here has re ceived orders to arrange a meet ing between Joszcf Cardinal Mindszenty and Austria's Kranz Cardinal Koenig .when Koenig comes to Budapest, an American spokesman said today. "We have received orders from the State Department in Washing ton to grant Franz Cardinal Koe nig immediate entry to Cardinal Mindszenty" the spokesman said. Mindszenty, 71, was given asy lum in the U.S. legation here on Nov. 4. lftjfi. when the Budapest uprising was crushed and has been confined to the premises ever since. It has been no secret that in recent years both the Communist regime here and the United States have been anxious to set tle the question of the Hungarian primate. The United States, in principle, does not recognize the right of asylum, but made the cardinal's case a special one. imUSSlSmmSiSmmm, mh DENPASAR. Bali, Indonesia 'UPI i A drenching cloudburst flooded roads in low areas of volcano-ravaged sections of Bali Tuesday, creating fears of a pos sible new disaster. Rescue workers said floods could result in a massive flow of cold lava toward the sea, wiping out everything in its path. At least 1.500 persons already have been killed by volcanic eruptions. Two Indonesian navy LST trans ports moved into southwestern Bali's disaster zone to pick up 5.000 refugees from three towns. Rescue workers recommended that 332.000 Balinese be moved to other islands eventually. This is nearly one-fifth the fabled island's population. Rusiah Sardjono, minister of so cial welfare, toured the region southwest of Hunting Agung vol cano after receiving a report from Denpasar. The report said the largest sin gle disaster from the volcano's eruption occurred March 17 when an avalanche of searing ash and gases enveloped 1,176 persons wor shiping in a temple. The report said 200 survived, but that 8 of them were hospitalized with se vere burns. Molten lava incinerated 176 per sons in the Karangasem District, including an estimated 45 Mos lems praying in a local mosque, the report said. It' was estimated that 60,000- 70.000 residents fled the area, leav ing behind 45,000 pigs and cattle unable to forage on the blighted landscape. Sardjono s Jeep crunched through a layer of six inches of volcanic sand and gravel. Trees and vegetation were stripped bare of leaves. Official reports said the destruc tion included the Klungkung wa terworks, the Karangasem power house and waterworks, two gov ernment buildings, seven bridges and 162 homes. been stricken by the disease and two have died. Mrs. Henry Safran. 25. New York City, was reported recover ing in a New York hospital. She returned to live United Slates March 11 following a visit to Zer matt. Authorities hae been unable to trace the source of the epidemic but both the food and water sup ply are suspected. Members of a Swiss armv modi- cal delachment fighting the dis ease have been forbidden to eat ocal food or drink local uatpr This has led to reports that out side supplies will be brought in. The ski season came to an ah. rupt halt when hotel and restau rant owners voted Monday to shut down for the duration of the tv- phoid outbreak. The decision was antirlimartie. This normally crowded Alpine re sort already had taken on the as pect of a ghost town. Virtually no tourists are led. Those who braved out the first week of the enidemir last wenk have gone and almost no one has arrived to replace them. 5th 1 Mo in Frtt Parking Srh ft Klomoth WE QUIT! Rogue River Funds Asked WASHINGTON (LTD- Oregon Sens. Wayne Morse and Mauiinel Neuberger have asked the Bureau o the Budget to approve an ac celerated funding schedule for preconstruction planning of reser voir units of the Rogue River Basin Project. The two Democrats pointed out in a letter to Budget Director Kermit Gordon that three reser voirs in the Rogue River Basin were authorized for construction under the 1962 Flood Control Act. They said the President's budg et for fiscal 1964 included a re quest for funds for preconslruc- lion planning on the Lost Creek Reservoir. "However," they said, "It now appears that significant and substantial long-term benefits will accrue from an acceleration of the project funding schedule." They said Army Engineers had advised that a supplemental ap propriation of $50.01)0 before the end of the current fiscal year would increase the 1964 fiscal year capability to $350,000. If ade quate future appropriations were made for construction, the sena tors said, the two allocations in fiscal years 1963 and 1964 would advance completion of the project by about one year. They said the Rogue River proj ect would have an annual econo mic value of about $6 million.
