    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!"
More than 25,000 persons
jammed the streets of Central
ia. 111., Wednesday night (or the
annual Halloween parade. Sev
eral hundred children took part
in a parade earlier in the day.
In Lima, Ohio, pranksters got
off to an early start by playing
a big trick on three railroads.
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.
A resident of tiny Pumpkin
Center said Halloween nowa
days isn't like old times when
there were horse buggies to
boost atop the chicken coop or
outhouses (o tip over.

OTI, under leadership of the
Circle K Club, turned in 495
pints from a student body of ap
proximately 900. Kingsley Field
personnel contributed 618 pints.
During the last drawing the
