In The Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS In Washington yesterday morning. President Kennedy's foreign aid program came up for senate debate with an ad ministration spokesman warn ing that any drastic cuts might endanger national security. At the same time, a powerful Democratic senator denounced the bill as SHOCKING WASTE and "a body blow to the most vital defense weapon the Amer ican people possess namely, their own economy." The administration spokesman was Senator J. W. Fulbrighl, of Arkansas, chairman o the Sen ate Foreign Relations commit tee. The powerful Democrat who opposed the bill and called for drastic cuts in the amount it calls for was Senator Wayne 'Morse, of Oregon. The debate is expected to con tinue most of the week, with other foreign aid critics joining Senator Morse in a drive to cut , Jhe program to the $3.5 billion Approved by the House. The House action lopped $1 bil lion from the 4.5 billion sub mitted by President Kennedy for the fiscal year ending next June 30. The Senate Foreign Relations committee then raised the authorization to $4.2 billion, which Senator Fulbright says is in line w ith the recommen dations of a Presidential com mittee headed by General Lu cius Clay. Oregon's Senator Morse, wlio is a member of the Senate For eign Relations committee, criti cized the bill as "a hedge-podge of meaningless compromises" and said its adoption "will per petuate shocking waste and gross inefficiency which has characterized for years the ad ministration of American for eign aid, both military and eco nomic." He added bitingly: "The American taxpayers arc being ROOKED by our world-wide-flung foreign aid pro gram." Good for Senator Morse. He seems to be returning to the solid common sense that formerly characterized so many of his convictions. . What' of foreign aid? Well, back in the Marshall 'Plan days, it was wonderful. It amounted then' to sharing with our comrades-in-arms who in a bloody war had suffered more grievously than we. In recent years, it has seemed to amount to nothing more than an effort to BUY FRIENDS or to buy off ene mies. All human experience tells us that that never pays. Little Spooks, Ready Annual By United Press International Under moon-splashed skies and in darkened alleys, thou sands of pint-sized spooks and goblins go on their haunts to night to threaten "tricks or treats." From Pumpkin Center. S. D., to the United Nations, it's the annual celebration of Hallo ween, the ancient rite that dates back to the Druids of earliest Britain. "From ghoulies and ghosties' and Jong-lcggety beasties." the old Scottish poem goes, "and things that go bump in the night, good Lord, deliver us!"

A 152-car Baltimore and O h i o freight train was creeping through Lima Wednesday night when suddenly about half the train became uncoupled, auto matically setting me brakes on the whole train. As quickly as crewmen could get things moving again, more cars were uncoupled. Mean while, the long train blocked tracks and crossings, snarling trafiic and causing the Pennsyl vania Railway's crack non-stop Broadway Limited from New York to Chicago to be 67 min utes late.
