Emphasis on Europe
In u. 5. Economic Aid
Disfurbs Other Areas
By Ernie Hill
Correspondent OF The Sfor
and Chicago Daily News

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. May
25.-Asian and Middle East dele
gates to the United Nations are
miffed at President Truman's
recommendation to Congress for
the expenditure Of $s.5 billion in
economic and military assistance
While their combined popula-
tions are much greater than those
OF Europe, they say, the President
would allocate three times as much
to Europe for economic aid and
five times as much for military
assistance. as they would get.
This. they contend, indicates
that the President considers
Europe more important than Asia
and the Middle East. They do not
like the implications.
Europe would get $5,240, ,oo0, 900
IN military funds and 81, $50 ,000,-
600 for economic assistance against
their 1910 million for military and
$500 million for economic aid.
Frankly, the half billion for eco
nomic assistance Is more than
many expected. but they still feel
that with q war in progress in
Korea, Europe should not get a
larger share of the windfall.
Pakistan Suggests So Billion.
Foreign Minister Zafrulla Khan
Of Pakistan has suggested q 50
billion aid program for Asia to
raise living standards and combat
communism.
On the military score, they have
less complaint since they are Of
fering little military assistance in
the war against communism.
With India on the verge of an
other war with Pakistan and with
Israel engaging in sporadic en-
counters with Syria and Jordan.
none Of these countries has Of
Tered any assistance that COM
pares with Frances engagement
in Indo-China and Britain's fight
ing in Malaga. :
ASianS particularly are thin
skinned on the economic aid score.
They are able to show, at least to
their own satisfaction, that their
living standards are much lower
than those Of Europe.
They argue heatedly that Asians
are subject to the same Com
munist influences as Europe and
that the United States should
spend as much to save an Asian
from Moscow domination as a
European.
Latin-Americans See Profits.
Latin American delegates also
raise these objections since the
Presidents recommendations call
for spending only $62 million on
both economic and military aid.
But most Latin American coun-
tries hope to make large profits in
selling raw materials to the Unit
ed States under the armament
program so they offer less COM
plant.
Middle East delegates are about
as bitter as the Asians. They have
accused the United States of
sighting them in all programs
and Of taking Israel'S part against
them in the Palestine war. Their
refusal to Cooperate in the Ko-
rean war is based largely on these
complaints.
: Another source of disagreement
ut the y. N. is over the whole
picture OF American economic aid d.
Most countries believe that the
United States should donate its
billions to the United Nations
technical assistance program
which is administered by the U. N.
Funds administered by the Unit
ed States usually have more strings
attached than those handled by
the U. N. The failure of the
United States to throw its money
Into the U. N. technical assistance
program has long been a source
Of complaint.

Il SPEAK FOR DEMOCRACY"
WINNER
By BETTY ROWAN

Friday, November 8, the school
preliminary run-offs in the Il
Speak for Democracy" were held
in the High School Auditorium.
The winner, Eugene Roberts, will
be the High Schools entry in the
American-Legion sponsored cont
est, competing with entries from
the Convent of Mary Immaculate,
Douglas High School, and possibly
the new high school at Coral
Shores.
Mrs. Stark'S speech class, which
had taken the contest as a class
project, invited several other
fourth period classes to furnish an
audience. Those attending included
the classes taught by Mr.. Ertzman,
Mrs. Sails, Mrs. Bond, and Miss
Harra. The students of the speech
class had previously voted for the
six speeches which they consider
ed best. These students then be-
came the competitors: Nancy
Watkins, Shirley Trudeau, Ray
mond R0thfuss, Eugene Roberts,
Jimmie Cooper. and Hoke Hol-
comb. All of the speeches we're
very good, and it was hard for
the judges Mrs Bond. Mr.. Ertz-
man, and Miss Harra- to make
a choice.
Key West High can certainly be
proud of these students and their
work.

OVER AT THE ANNEX
By LILLIAN RUSSELL and
LORRAINE CURRY

The seventh and eighth graders
over at the Annex have reading
every day of the week, which
makes it a required subject. Cert
ain days of the week they are
allowed to pick any kind of book
which they think is on their grade
level or reading level.
Also, every two weeks they are
allowed to come over to the Senior
High library, to get book. They
spend almost q period, looking
over the books on the shelves and
taking them down to look inside
them. When they have finished
reading the book, they make book
reports for their English teachers.
In addition, they have encyclop-
edia work, which helps them with
their vocabulary.
Miss Loretta Pratt was selected
by Miss Irene Russell, reading
supervisor, to do the special group

very helpful. Mr. O'Bryant pur-
chased several varieties of books
for these classes.
When we visited their class one
morning, the kids we're ready and
willing to answer our questions.
They seemed eager, in fact, to
tell us how they were getting
along. Some like the oral reading
better, while others prefer to read
their own books silently. All of
them like to come over to the
Senior High library.
Miss Pratt went to Fordham
University, New York, and also
spent two summers teaching in
Providence, Rhode Island, She has
also taught at the Truman Elemen-
tary School. She seems to like
very much the type of work she
is doing, and she is really trying
to help every student with his
reading problems.

NEWS OF THE BAND
Y MARLENE PARK

The band is extremely busy
these days. Not only are we keep
ing up our drill work, but we
are also working hard on the con-
cert to be given Wednesday, Nov
ember ID, at the Convent Audit
orium. Mr.. Henry Fillemore, world
famous bandmaster and director,
will direct half the concert and
Mr.. Casterton, our own director,
will WELD the baton during the
rest of the program. The program
has been planned to be relaxing
enjoyable, and full of fun as well
as to show the improvement of
the band. On Mr.. Fillemore'S half

selections from among his numer-
Gus marches and concert numbers.
While we have been working to
improve our concert abilities, we
have also tried to make our or
ganization crack marching band.
We take part in the Armistice Day
parade, honoring our war dead.
Because we have not had time
to go to Wicker'S Field for a
drill. we worked out our next
drill stunt in the band room.
Though we may not be as good
as the Seacrest Band, it must be
remembered that we have been
drilling only since school began
this year while their band has
had many years of practice. We
hope soon to be able to equal
their fine performance.

various recorders until they find
the most satisfactory one is found.
This week very excellent one
is being tried and the students
are having fun with il. Some read
poems, some conduct interviews
with each other. many sing 10
the recorder. and very often the
class will sing something as a
chorus as Mr.. Whitley records il.
Everyone is always surprised when
finds out how his voice really
sounds.
When we finally decide which
recorder we want TO buy. we ex-
pect to get even more enjoyment

Mays School is located on a Is
acre tract of land in an agricul-
tural section of South Dade. It is
adjacent to large Negro hous-
ing project which has been COM
