WASHINGTON (L'PD - Secre tary of State Dean Rusk assured Congress Friday the cold war tide is running our way. "The Free World is gaining in s rength. both absolutely and in comparison with the Communist world." Rusk told the House For eign Affairs Committee. He made the encouraging assessment in testifying in behalf of President Kennedy's request for another (4.5 billion installment of this country's foreign aid program. But Rusk said the struggle is far from finished and that any retreat from foreign military and economic assistance now would open the way for the start of a Communist take over in hot spot: around the world." He asserted: "Our adversaries remain power ful and determined. They are de termined to 'bury' us. We must carry on until freedom prevails. We cannot win by yielding the field to the enemy. "There is nothing that the Com munists want more than to see Ihe 'Yanks go home' not only from Western Europe but from the Mediterranean, South Asia, the Far East. Latin America Africa, everywhere." Rusk said, however, If we Yanks come home, the Commu nists will begin to take over. Why any American wuuld want to co operate with that global Commu nist strategy Is beyond my under- tanding. But that is what short cuts in our foreign aid program1 would mean." Rusk cuuplcd his pica for the embattled foreign aid program with a Ircsh warning to aid re cipients that more will be ex pected of them in the future. He said mure "self help" and "selectivity" will be the keys to future aid projects. Rusk faced a relatively friend ly audience in tile Foreign Af fairs Committee, although its newer members included several foreign aid foes. One of them. Rep. 11. R. Gross. R-lowa, has referred to the aid bill as "the foreign giveaway bill." The measure also is likely to be cut when it comes before Rep. Otto Passman's House ap propriations subcommittee. Pass man has said that $2.5 billion this year ought to be plenty, and that! in future years the program should require even less. Other congressional news: Academy: Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor and Edward R. Murrow, U.S. Information Agency direc tor, were scheduled to appear be- lore the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Friday to testify on a bill to establish a foreign service academy. The school would be built in or near Washington at' an estimated cost of $17.5 mil-1 lion. An estimated $6.7 million a year would be needed to oper ate it. Transit: The Kennedy adminis tration's mass transit bill passed the Senate Thursday after being cut by $125 million. Voting for the bill were 46 Democrats and 6 Republicans. Opposed were 24 Republicans and 17 Democrats. Under the Senate bill, the Feder al Home and Housing Finance Agency would make available to urban communities during the next three years $375 million in grants to help build fast, efficient transit systems. Only $75 million would be authorized the first year. Space: Bernard Holmes, direc tor of the U.S. manned space program, said a three-day manned orbital flight is being prepared, although he does not believe it will be necessary. He told a House space subcommittee the mission would be ordered only if astronaut Leroy Gordon Cooper's 22-orbit flight, set for mid May, is not completely suc cessful. Post Office: The House trimmed $92 million from the Post Office Department's budget request despite a warning the re duction might end Saturday mail service. Farmeri! Loggers!
