US. Adds Military Aid to Foreign Aid Program

WASHINGTON, - (P) The American government is expected to expand it's foreign aid object ives to include military aid to a western European defense organ ization which this country might eventually join.
 That appeared to be the first major product likely to come out of the Senate's 64 to 4 approval Friday of a far-reaching foreign policy resolution by Senator Van denberg R-Mich.
 Passage of that resolution served notice on the world that the trea- ty making chambers favor US. participation in regional defense organizations set up to carry out the peace aims of the United Na- tions.
 Vandenberg's resolution, drafted with the state department approv- al has no binding effect. A some what similar measure has been introduced in the House which would be law if passed by both houses and signed by the presi- dent.
 But the Senate action was ex- pected to have direct effect on European efforts to work out a regional defense organization based on the five nation pact signed recently at Brussels.

DRIVE BEGINS TO BRING
 HOSPITAL OUT OF RED

 Kickoff for the drive came at Wednesdays meeting of the Elks when over $500 was raised within about fifteen minutes. Before the meeting adjourned, sum had been raised to over s7OO. Individuals of the American Legion last night, meeting in the Dugout, raised a good sum. Names of these contri- butOrs will be listed next week in the Honor Roll appearing on this page. The drive will be continued until the hospital indebtedness of $3.992.97 is raised and each week the doners will be Listed in the hospital Honor Roll in this news paper.
 Shortage of funds has, for the past while. threatened to close the doors of the hospital. Seriousness of this situation, as experienced in 1945. was realized and it was de- cided by board members to at tempt to raise the indebtedness by popular subscription. It is hoped, once the present debt is lifted. to devise ways and means to keep the hospital on a paying basis and plans are being made toward this end.
 The Rev. Hugh Hall, Treasurer of the Board of Control and Epls- copalian priest in charge, is talk ing active interest in hospital af- fairs and stated that all contribu- tions, no matter how small, will be appreciated. Donations should be sent or given to him or mailed to the Board of Control.
